Nicole watched Luke quietly for a few seconds.Under bright lights, Luke’s eyes were glimmering, as if he had the urge to break through the limits.It was the kind of youthful struggle that any self-made man would have.Nicole smiled.“Continue.”“I plan to change our research to focus on aerospace. Although there are many monopolies in the aerospace field, it’s the most extensive and lenient in terms of technological design. Our research results overlap with the aerospace field to some extent, so we’ll still be able to make it if we change direction now.”Luke said excitedly.Nicole was silent as she fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist.“So, do you have a plan?”“I had a few conversations with the people from Aerospace Corporation just now and noticed that they were unsure about the frequency of accidents in the current field. Although our technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, in some respects, Liberty’s technology is more refined and better than ours. Since we have
Clayton took Nicole’s hand and looked at her with concern.“Are you alright?”Nicole nodded and sighed.“I’m fine. Is Zach Gilbert really here?”Clayton did not just make it up to ease the situation?Clayton raised his eyebrows. “Of course, but he didn’t come alone…”Nicole was slightly startled.Tina stumbled out the entrance and watched as Zach got out of a newly bought luxury car.Zach did not even recognize his wife perhaps because Tina looked so wretched and did not act like her usual self.Although most of the people in the venue were too shy to go out and watch the show, there were a few who could not hold back their curiosity and went to the entrance.For example, Nicole and Clayton.Nicole was puzzled that Clayton also followed along.She looked around and saw that those who came over were women.Clayton was the only man there.Many people around them looked at him.Nicole whispered, “Go ahead if you’re busy!”Clayton smiled and held her hand.“I’m not busy. I
Clayton paused for a moment.His face turned dark as he looked at Nicole.Clayton was not stupid and knew that Nicole was implying something.After pondering for half a second, he said in a light voice, “I don’t know.”Nicole smiled and nudged his shoulder.“What would you do if it were you? Tina wants a divorce, and she has evidence of his affairs, so Zach will most likely end up with nothing. His company isn’t doing very well. Once there is a financial problem, it’s very likely that he has to declare bankruptcy. Getting a divorce now won’t benefit him at all. He definitely knows this. Zach suddenly fell into this dilemma. So, if you were in his situation, what would you do?”Nicole was curious what Clayton would do if he was in Zach’s shoes.Clayton seemed to know what Nicole was thinking and smiled helplessly.He sighed and somewhat regretted standing here.It was simply an unexpected disaster.“Baby, I’ll never become such a scumbag. There are no what-ifs in this world. I
Clayton stood there looking like a gentleman.His self-confidence, tenderness, elegance, and reserve gave others the feeling that Clayton was someone who could compete with Eric Ferguson in Atlanta.Nicole did not seem to feel anything when the bidding price increased.She stood there quietly as she thought, ‘Is it too wasteful to use this diamond as a brooch?’The woman next to Eric could no longer stand still.The bidding price was already close to $200 million...At first, Cheryl felt excited, but now, she began to panic and felt guilty.Cheryl thought that her passing comment triggered Eric’s interest in bidding.She tugged at Eric’s sleeve and said in a low voice, “Forget it, Mr. Ferguson. I don’t like it that much…”Her brother, Gerard, would reprimand her if he found out about this.Eric frowned, glanced at her without saying anything, and continued to bid.It seemed like he would not give up until he achieved his goal.Cheryl was apprehensive.She seemed a little e
In an instant, Cheryl froze in place.She suddenly understood all of Eric’s abnormal behavior tonight.Eric bid a sky-high price for that raw diamond not because of Chery’s passing compliment, but because he wanted to give the best things to Nicole, even when Nicole was already married to someone else!Thus, when Nicole offered a price, Eric immediately stopped bidding.Was it because he was afraid that Nicole would spend more money, or because he was afraid that Nicole would get angry?Cheryl could not imagine what was the relationship between Eric and Nicole.Thinking of this, Cheryl immediately called Gerard.Her tone was restrained and calm.“Brother, what’s the relationship between Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Stanton?”Gerard was silent. “You just returned to Mediania, so you don’t know what happened between them. Anyway, don’t harbor any thoughts about him.”After speaking, Gerard hung up the phone.Cheryl stood there in a trance when Eric’s driver came over and asked her, “M
Everyone was shocked, and Mitchell suddenly shouted, “Oh no, Little Young Master Chance is inside!”Eric was also shocked and glanced at Mitchell coldly.Mitchell’s face turned pale. “You told me not to let him out, so I asked Young Master Chance to play by himself after the memorial service. He got tired, so I let him sleep here. But I didn’t light any fire, and I didn’t close the door…”He quickly explained, but no one listened.Eric looked up with a livid face. His whole body was tense.“Nicole, come down now…”He gritted his teeth.Eric knew that someone might have deliberately created this chaos, but their purpose was probably not to involve Nicole in it.Nicole’s face was pale. The cold wind was howling, rattling her clothes.She brushed away a strand of hair that was dangling at the corner of her mouth. It dropped again when she breathed.Fortunately, Nicole managed to jump off the railing smoothly, so she breathed a sigh of relief.She did not dare to look below.Ni
Before Nicole could speak, Tina broke down in tears. She gritted her teeth and put out a tempting offer.“I don’t have any friends. If you come over and accompany me, I’ll sell you the shares of Zach’s company that I’ll get from the divorce!”Tina knew that Nicole did not have a deep friendship with her.Nicole would not come if Tina did not offer any benefits.Sure enough, Nicole got out of bed and got dressed while she answered the phone in a polite voice, “How silly of you. As a woman, I can understand how you feel, really…”Nicole did not dress too lavishly. She chose a low-key beige long dress with a matching thin cardigan and went out the door.When she arrived at Tina’s house, she was stunned to see the extravagant style that was typical of a parvenu.The house was so densely packed that there was no room for her to walk around.Nicole looked closely and saw piles of cash on the table.There was also a lot of gold jewelry.Tina welcomed Nicole. Her eyes were red, and s
Nicole opened her mouth but did not know what to say or how to advise Tina.Suddenly, Tina sat up straight and picked up the phone on the table.“Yes, he just left. Follow him immediately. It’s very likely that he went to find his mistress. This time, you must take photos as evidence!”After Tina finished speaking, she hung up the phone and looked at Nicole.“Let’s go. You wanna come with me?”Nicole was stunned.“Is it appropriate for me to go?”“Why not? I wish that everyone in the world would go and see what’s going on between him and that b*tch!”Tina gritted her teeth.Nicole pursed her lips and agreed for the sake of the shares.It would not hurt to go and check it out.Tina was in a bad mood, so she did not drive.Nicole became Tina’s driver.Tina led the way.Their car stopped at the lobby of a high-end neighborhood.Nicole knew that many actors liked to buy houses here because it was quiet, and the paparazzi could not get in.She frowned slightly when she thoug
