Mitchell gritted his teeth. “Do you still remember Angie, the daughter of Caleb the arms dealer from Southeast Asia?”Nicole’s face darkened.This name triggered some memories that made her uncomfortable.Mitchell did not hesitate and spoke frankly.“After Angie went back, she took over her father’s position. Today, she’s the biggest arms dealer in Southeast Asia. Angie’s brother is also known abroad as an expert in money laundering. To avenge his sister and father, he purposely set his eyes on Mr. Ferguson. Pulling Mr. Ferguson in is only the first step of his plan.”Mitchell’s words carried an extremely heavy weight.The more secrets he knew, the more he felt how difficult it was for Eric.Mitchell sat in the position where Eric used to be, trembling with fear and treading on thin ice.The closer he got to Eric’s world, the more he pitied Eric.The woman in front of him would not feel heartbroken for Eric or try to understand him.At the mention of Eric’s name, Nicole felt
Mitchell seemed to understand Nicole’s concerns.He looked at her with eager eyes.“Ms. Stanton, you managed to get the military project before, which means that you have the military’s support. So, even if foreign forces want to make a move on you, they still have to weigh the situation. What’s more, if this project falls into the hands of others, those foreign forces will have no worries. They will only become a puppet to be taken advantage of.”Nicole raised her eyes and smiled. However, her eyes did not show a hint of emotion. “I’ll convey your words to my brother, and I won’t interfere in the decision of whether or not this cooperation will go through.”Mitchell still wanted to say something, but Logan, who was standing outside the door, knocked on the door and came in.Logan looked at Mitchell and then at Nicole.“President, there’s an urgent meeting that needs your attendance at the moment…”Nicole raised her eyebrows and stood up.“Then I’ll leave you to it, Mr. Crawfor
Clayton was indifferent. He had already heard about Eric’s matter.After all, Clayton considered Eric a tough opponent, so he would certainly pay attention to Eric’s situation.It’s just that Clayton was not willing to intervene or help Eric.Clayton even promptly withdrew from any projects that were related to Eric.After all, Eric provoked Angie, so he should be solely responsible for the consequences.How could Clayton possibly lend a helping hand to the person who almost got Nicole killed?Clayton would clap and applaud when Eric was in distress.However, Clayton certainly could not say these to Nicole.This would make him look too petty, and Nicole would only look down on him.Seeing as Nicole looked hesitant and worried, Clayton smiled and said, “I’m not exactly in the clear over here. There is someone who wanted to use SF Corporation for money laundering, but Jake discovered it in time. What sold them out is that they bribed those idle shareholders, so Jake and I intend
After some time of not seeing Lumi, Nicole noticed that she looked much better.It seemed that her and Samuel’s divorce did not affect her too much.Ian said that he called a few friends, so Nicole was not surprised to see Lumi here.Nicole was just curious when the two of them got so close to each other.She went upstairs, dressed in a beige plaid dress that made her look more mature.Nicole smiled. “Carter, your habit of disappearing for a few days and suddenly appearing every time also hasn’t changed one bit!”Ian was happy to see her and went over to pull her into the room.“I went to the Antarctic and saw the Southern Lights. If it wasn’t for my grandpa threatening me to come home, I wouldn’t have come back so soon.”Nicole smiled. Lumi followed behind them. The private room was already filled with people, and many of them had already started drinking. There were also some people singing on the side. It was very lively.Amidst the crowd, Nicole spotted a familiar figure –
Nicole picked up the phone in a blur and answered the call without looking at the caller ID.Ian’s agitated voice came through. “You guys are terrible friends! Why didn’t you take me with you when you left last night?!”Nicole gradually opened her eyes. Julie also stared at her wide-eyed.“Is something wrong?”Before Ian could reply, they could hear someone bashing the door through the phone.Julie suddenly sat up.A familiar female voice came through the phone. “Oh no! Samuel’s really here!”The call was suddenly hung up.Nicole looked at Julie in shock. “What just happened?! Was that Lumi’s voice just now?”Julie nodded with a gloomy expression.“Yeah, it’s her! Samuel’s flight is supposed to arrive this morning. When we left last night, Lumi and Ian were still drinking together…”No matter how slow they were, they suddenly realized that Lumi and Ian most likely had a drunken affair last night.At the Tycoon restaurant.Out of convenience, Lumi reserved a private room
Lumi panicked for a moment and quickly calmed down.She stood there expressionlessly as she looked at the door.The people outside wanted to come in and see what was going on inside.Lumi thought, ‘I’m afraid Samuel already has people stalking my every move. Heh… Forget it. So what? What’s there to be afraid of?’Ian was so scared that he looked down from the window. He was terrified as he asked, “Will I die if I jump from here?”The corners of Lumi’s mouth twitched. Her bare face looked a little haughty.Although Kirsi was an actress known as the Ice Beauty, her looks were just part of her persona.Compared to Lumi, Kirsi’s looks were still a little inferior.Lumi was indeed beautiful. Otherwise, Samuel would not have agreed to marry her after a single meeting.She was as beautiful as a precious porcelain vase that was soothing to look at if placed at home.At this time, Lumi’s delicate face held a sneer as she looked in Ian’s direction.The next second, just as the room do
Lumi’s strength was nothing compared to Samuel’s.Samuel did not notice that Lumi’s face was turning white. His reason had long been overwhelmed with rage, and his gaze was ruthless and dark.“Tell me! What do you want me to do for you to forgive me? You really are a spoiled young lady who isn’t as obedient as your sister. Lumi, you succeeded!”Lumi could not help but tilt her head back and cough.It was as if his force was dragging her into hell.The next second, the bathroom door suddenly opened.Ian went over with a sullen face and pushed Samuel away.Samuel did not expect that the person inside would dare to interfere. He stumbled backward from the force.When Samuel saw the person who pushed him, his face darkened.Samuel’s eyes were viciously bloodthirsty.Without hesitation, Samuel raised his fist toward Ian.However, the guilt that Ian felt earlier was swept away. Ian suddenly twisted Samuel’s arm and slammed him against the wall.Ian grew up learning kickboxing wit
Samuel thought to himself, ‘It’s just a marriage alliance! Now that she cheated on me, I won’t be able to put up with it!’He sneered. The corners of his mouth twitched as he glared at Ian with a ruthless gaze. “This is your choice? To choose a trust fund baby who’s always thinking about another man’s wife? Ian has never been serious about the women around him because he only has eyes for Nicole. Do you really want to make a fool of yourself?”Ian’s expression changed dramatically. “F*ck you! Are you sick in the head?!”Lumi laughed lightly as if she did not care.“I’m only making a fool of myself if I stay with you. If you don’t finalize the divorce, I won’t just have Ian by my side. In the future, I’ll let the media know every time I get a new man so that the whole world will know that your wife has had plenty of affairs!”Lumi was forcing Samuel to make a decision.There was no better time than now.Even if she was at a loss, Lumi did not want to get entangled with this man.
