Nicole was dumbfounded.Floyd added, “He was shot to death.”What Nicole held in her hand fell to the ground, and her face turned pale from shock.Floyd’s voice was low as he continued, “There’s no guarantee that it’s not Eric’s enemies. It’s still unclear who was behind it, but this matter has been covered up. Eric might have returned to Mediania this time with a motive. Tell your brother to be more vigilant in any interaction with them.”Nicole became more serious when Floyd said to be more vigilant.She also knew Floyd told her about this first because he was afraid that she would suffer a loss.Floyd took a deep breath. He looked exhausted. “I’ve inquired about what’s going on in Liberty. There is indeed something wrong with SF Corporation. There is a slight possibility that someone tampered with the project, but you should still remind Clayton to be cautious.”Nicole nodded.“Got it, Dad.”Floyd stood up and said, “Alright, I won’t stay to eat with you. I need to get some
The Lindstrom Residence was a European villa with a private garden and courtyard. It was very grand.Samuel knelt on the ground listlessly. In just a few days, he looked like a whole new person.He no longer looked noble or distinguished.His parents were furious as they sat on the sofa. Mr. Lindstrom cursed at Samuel.“You’re such an *sshole! The Makinen family was willing to negotiate, but you went and did something like this! When Julian threw those photos at me, I felt so ashamed of you! It’s fine if you wanna fool around with women in private, but how could you let Lumi see you do this in a public bathroom?! Are you doing this on purpose?! Is this what you mean by you don’t want to get a divorce? How could your mom and I face them now?!”Mr. Lindstrom was out of breath from cursing. He held his chest and felt exhausted.When he saw those photos, his blood pressure rose instantly.Although the woman’s face was censored, her naked body was clearly visible.He could not even
Last night, when Samuel watched Kirsi lose her composure to plead in front of him, going as far as stripping, Samuel had never felt so disgusted by someone. However, he was even more disgusted with himself.Kirsi had an unattainable and pure existence in his heart.This sacred feeling blinded him.When Samuel made up his mind to completely cut off all ties with Kirsi, he withdrew his investment knowing full well that without his help, Kirsi would suffer.However, if this kind of help made Lumi misunderstand their relationship, he would give it up.What exactly was he unreconciled about?Was it the fact that Kirsi showed that she did not care about it?When Kirsi asked him for help time and again, Samuel did not think to refuse her.That was because he was confused about his feelings.Samuel deserved everything that happened to him.Midnight.Samuel drove to the Makinen Residence.Lumi still did not answer his calls, and he could not get in.He did not know that Lumi, who h
The reason why Lumi hated Samuel so much was not because he had betrayed her.Simply speaking, Samuel cheating on her was not enough to make her get a divorce.The most crucial thing was Kirsi.Her sister was much more important than her husband.Samuel colluded with Lumi’s dearest sister to betray and fool her.No matter how they explained, they would not be able to wash away their sins.Lumi would not believe a word of it anymore.Lumi looked at the dark sky in the distance. There were no street lights, so it looked like a black hole that could swallow everything.“Let’s get a divorce tomorrow and get it done as soon as possible. If you don’t agree with it, I’ll send out your photos and file a divorce lawsuit on the grounds that you had an extramarital affair. Samuel, don’t make this worse than it already is. You’re asking for it.”Lumi’s voice was calm and expressionless.She had the advantage anyway. If she did not know how to play this good hand of cards, then she would
Kirsi and Samuel went back to the point of being ordinary friends.They did not cross the line, so Kirsi thought that she had a clear conscience and did a good job.Samuel sighed. His attitude was not as tough anymore.“Alright, I still have things to do. I’ll hang up now.”In the past, if Kirsi said that, Samuel would have agreed and would have felt that she was innocent.However, after that scene yesterday, Samuel could no longer look at this woman straight.He felt that Kirsi had many masks, and he had only seen two of them.The divorce between Samuel and Lumi was final.In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were already divorced long ago.Only the Lindstroms and Makinens knew that Samuel found all kinds of excuses to drag out the divorce and refused to leave. For a while, the situation got ugly.However, fewer people cared about this.Samuel found an excuse to go on a business trip, saying that he was busy.......When Nicole found out about this matter, she called
Grant rolled up his shirt sleeves and was grilling the meat. Ian, who was next to him, saw Grant’s serious face and laughed. He joked, “Big Brother, I didn’t know that your hands that can sign contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars can still work the grill.”Grant glanced at Ian silently with an imposing vibe.Many people around saw the liveliness and came over to join the fun.Aida was very friendly as she went around with the fruit platter. The atmosphere was just right.Nicole and Julie held their hats as they ran on the beach.It was rare that they could relax, so they would not gather around a group of strangers to exchange pleasantries.They simply carried their skirts and ran barefoot on the warm sand.Julie also video-called Yvette.Yvette, who was in Cali, seemed to be a changed person. Apart from work, she would have to fight with others. It was so stressful that she almost lost all her hair.“I’m so jealous of you guys! I wanna party when I go back!”Nicol
This group of foreigners did not seem simple, nor did they look like pure businessmen.How did Eric get together with these people?Before Nicole could dwell on it, Julie dragged Nicole away.Grant noticed that the ladies ran away happily but came back lost in thought.He looked at the two of them, but his hands were busy.Grant wanted to ask them what was going on, but there were too many people around.He coughed.“You two, come over and help…”Nicole paused and followed Julie over.Grant looked at Nicole. “What happened?”Nicole hesitated to speak because she did not know what to say.Grant glanced at Julie. “Tell me.”Julie did not dare to hold back and told Grant everything she saw just now.Grant’s movements slowly stiffened.His expression was sullen and cold.“You weren’t mistaken?”Julie shook her head. “Definitely not!”Nicole pondered for a moment and told Grant about the logo that she saw on the boat.“Big Brother, Old Master Ferguson just passed away, so
The person who knew Eric best was Nicole, and the only one who could resist Eric was Stanton Corporation.Thus, Lance called Nicole directly.Nicole could probably guess Eric's purpose – money laundering.But why?Did Ferguson Corporation still need to do this?They finally cleaned up their organization, yet now, they wanted to dabble in this kind of thing. No matter how she looked at it, it was just strange.Nicole hung up the phone and quietly sat down to ponder about it.Grant’s investigation still had no news, so no one dared to act rashly.The next day.Nicole went to work as usual.After the meeting early in the morning, Logan brought in a cup of coffee.“President, Mr. Crawford of the Ferguson Corporation is waiting in the lounge.”Nicole frowned. “What’s Mitchell doing here?”“It’s about the lab project.”“I don’t want to deal with this. Ask him to go to my brother.”Nicole did not get involved because she did not want to have any contact with Eric.After all, E
