Gerard felt that he had already tried his best to bring Nicole to Eric, since the people in Stanton Corporation were all wary of him, especially Nicole’s assistant, Logan, who was preventing this situation.Looking from a distance, Gerard felt that the two people seemed to be from different worlds. They did not seem to fit together at all.The past is long gone.Eric looked at Nicole with his bloodshot eyes that were strongly suppressing his surging emotions.However, under Nicole’s calm and indifferent gaze, Eric also had to act composed.Eric hooked his lips. “It’s fine if you don’t remember. We can get reacquainted…”He stretched out his hand, nervously waiting for her reaction.After a short silence, Nicole slowly lifted her eyelids and let out a light laugh.“There’s no need for that. Let’s wait until I recover my memory because how would I know that you’re a good person?”After saying that, Nicole looked past Eric to glance at Gerard, who was leaning against the car be
Yvette could hear the sound of a lighter over the phone. Lance seemed to be smoking.She paused for a while and felt that she could not remain calm when she chatted with Lance. According to her past experience, it was too easy to get herself in trouble.“I’m with Nicole. Didn’t I tell you earlier?”Yvette wanted to end the call quickly, so she took the initiative to speak.“Do you not trust me and want to check up on me?”Lance stayed silent for a few seconds. He let out a light laugh that was somewhat cold.“Nicole?”“Yeah!”Yvette answered boldly.Lance took a deep breath to calm himself down, and Yvette suddenly had a bad feeling about this.Before she could say anything, Lance said, “Wait a sec, I’ll get Nicole to speak to you.”After saying that, Lance handed over his phone to the person next to him. “Excuse me, will you have a word with Yvette?”Yvette froze for a moment, and her body stiffened.She suddenly felt like she was done for.In the next second, a familiar
Yvette was stunned.Another person also nodded and spoke.“That’s right. What’s an ex-girlfriend anyway? She clearly wants to get back together with Mr. Sheldon. Otherwise, why would she pick our company out of so many companies out there? It’s obvious that she doesn’t have any good intentions!”“Yeah! She definitely has an ulterior motive. Recently, she’s been making friends everywhere in the company and inquiring about your affairs, but I didn’t reveal anything!”“Tell me about it! We’re always on your side, Ms. Quimbey. How can that woman compare to you? You can crush her to death in a second!”“Ms. Quimbey, don’t worry. Since she joined our company, Mr. Sheldon hasn’t spoken to her privately. I’m keeping an eye on them for you!”......Yvette just felt like someone punched her in the face.She was dumbfounded for a moment.Through their conversation, Yvette figured out that Lance’s ex-girlfriend joined Sheldon Corporation, yet she was completely kept in the dark about it.
Everyone, except for Yvette and Lance’s ex-girlfriend, was in a good mood.Yvette could not sit still anymore. She took out her phone and sent a text message to Lance.[Pick me up.]It was only three words and not a single more.Yvette just wanted to show off her and Lance’s happy life together to that woman.As a result, Lance replied in the next second. [I’m still in a discussion, so I’ll get the driver to pick you up.]Yvette was so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged out. She immediately typed back.[No, I want you to come in person!]This made her seem a little unreasonable.In the past whenever Yvette made a fuss, Lance would just play along if he was free. If he was busy, he would reason with Yvette, and she would listen.However, this time, Yvette did not care and was being somewhat unreasonable.Lance put away his phone and continued to talk to Grant.Nicole and Aida were making dessert, and Clayton was playing with the two kids on the carpet.It was a coz
Yvette walked forward, like a superior who cared for her subordinates. She smiled at the two people and said, “Simon, you drank too much. Go home and rest well.”Simon muttered, “I can still drink, Ms. Quimbey. Let’s have another drink!”Yvette laughed. “Simon, we can drink again next time. You drank so much by yourself and didn’t take good care of your girlfriend, huh?”Even though Simon was drunk, he still blushed and looked at the woman next to him.Just as he was about to say something, the woman suddenly let go of Simon and kept her distance from him. Her tone was cold as she said, “I’m not his girlfriend.”Simon stumbled and almost fell to the ground.When he finally managed to stand firmly on his own, he rubbed his head and did not know what he should say.Yvette narrowed her eyes and laughed out loud.“If you’re not his girlfriend, how can you attend this kind of party? Only family members can tag along. Miss, don’t treat him like a fool or a backup. If you didn’t lead
However, their relationship was so sweet that Yvette had overlooked the underlying problems.Lance was attentive, considerate, and tolerant toward Yvette. He pampered her, so much so that Yvette was sure that he liked her.After all, Yvette had a lot of dating experience and knew how to read men.Therefore, Yvette would not allow others to ruin her marriage. Even more so, she would not allow herself to lose to an ex-girlfriend.The driver was stunned, and the car was silent for a few seconds.Only then did the driver ask, “Madam, should we go to the Stanton Mansion?”Lance’s exact words were, “Bring her to the Stanton Mansion. If she drank too much, then just send her home.”However, the driver could not tell whether Yvette had too much to drink or not at this moment.After Yvette heard this, she sneered.“No, I want to go home!”The driver immediately said yes without another word and drove in the direction of Yvette’s and Lance’s house.Lance waited for a long time at the
Yvette could barely remember what it felt like when she was with Sean Moore.She only remembered that she was worrying, struggling, and hating herself every day back then.Her days with Lance were so comfortable that she forgot everything, thinking that it could go on forever.However, the arrival of that woman gave her a wake-up call.Lance knew Yvette’s past like the back of his hand, while she only had a general understanding of his past.It was unfair, too unfair.Yvette did not want to know about Lance’s past with his ex-girlfriend. She did not want to know how they got along and was not interested in understanding the bits and pieces of their time together.However, she could not control her mind from thinking about those torturous speculations.Yvette thought, ‘Was Lance nicer to that woman? Was he more out of control in bed when he was with her? Did he pamper her more? I thought that I managed to tame Lance, and that I was his one and only. But maybe, that’s just how he
Lance thought, ‘Is Yvette still mad at me because I didn’t pick her up last night?’He laughed and wiped his mouth.“Why are you so quiet today?”Yvette lifted her eyes and took a bite of the sandwich.“There’s nothing to talk about.”Lance raised his eyebrows. He looked at her patiently and spoke.“I was really busy last night. The Stantons helped me a lot back then, and we’re cooperating on a major project soon, so I can’t leave hastily. It’s not like I was fooling around somewhere else. Nicole is your best friend, so you should know…”Yvette nodded and smiled. “I know.”Lance had a feeling that something was wrong. He squinted his eyes and really could not think of what it might be.Yvette said, “I also had too much to drink last night and shouldn’t have been so unreasonable to delay your schedule. Luckily, you didn’t come. Otherwise, if you lost such a big project because of me, I wouldn’t be able to afford it even if I sold myself.”Lance’s face darkened slightly, and hi
