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
Clayton took a deep look at Nicole and felt frustrated.He looked at the snow-white skin on Nicole’s chest with his dark eyes and pulled over a thin blanket on the side to cover her up.“Wait a sec. Let’s have dinner together tonight.”Nicole smiled and watched as he walked out with a glum face.She inexplicably felt much better.Nicole could hear Clayton’s voice outside. He grunted and said in a cold and harsh tone, “I thought that there was an earthquake since you didn’t even care to knock.”The person who barged in was guilty and regretted barging in when he noticed Clayton’s glum expression and messy shirt.Nicole stretched her back, fixed her clothes, and lay back down.After a while, she fell asleep in a daze.When she woke up again, it was already dark.Beyond the curtains, the sky outside was dark.It took Nicole a while to come to her senses before she recalled where she was.She could vaguely hear someone outside, talking in a low voice.Clayton had deliberately
Clayton suddenly felt a kind of anger and fear in his heart.Nicole was stunned for a moment and smiled.“Don’t think too much. It’s just a casual question.”She took a deep breath and felt like a scumbag when she asked this question.Sure enough, instead of worrying about Clayton leaving her, it was better to let him worry about her leaving him.That way, she would still have the initiative.Only a stupid person like Tina would waste half her life on a man like Zach.Nicole was different. She was very confident. At least, judging by how much Clayton loved her, it was not a problem to keep this up for a decade or two.As for the future, she would just worry about it later.Although Nicole mentioned it casually, Clayton took it to heart.Clayton secretly speculated what went wrong and could not keep calm at all.He drove straight and missed the intersection to their house.Nicole was stunned for a moment and reminded him, “You missed the intersection…”Clayton smiled warmly
Julie could hear the sarcasm in Nicole’s words. She felt embarrassed and winked at Nicole to hint at her.For Julie’s sake, Nicole stopped talking so that it would be less awkward.However, Cheryl realized that she had been rude as she heard the dissatisfaction in Nicole’s words.Cheryl smiled. “I’m sorry, it’s just a subconscious reaction. Please don’t take it to heart, Ms. Stanton.”She took out her business card and introduced herself seriously.“Although I’ve just returned to Mediania, I’ve already registered with HY Law Firm. You can come to me any time if you need anything.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. There was nothing wrong with Cheryl’s appearance.Nicole took over Cheryl’s business card with both hands, glanced at it, and smiled.“Sure! HY is the best law firm in Atlanta, so they’re sure to hire the best lawyers to guarantee our basic rights…”Julie quickly echoed. “Right? Ms. Lichman won the grand prize of the debate competition abroad. She’s an excellent lawyer. We
Nicole paused. She felt the warm air from the ground, but she could not see Clayton.While she was dumbfounded, she heard a light snort and someone complained in a lazy voice, “You know how to come back, huh?”It was Clayton’s voice.Perhaps he was already soaking in the hot spring.Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little guilty.“Don’t rush. I’ll be right there!”Nicole thought of how much time she delayed, immediately went to change her clothes, and walked out barefoot.When she was near the hot spring, she felt the steam coming from it, which warmed her whole body. Her pores seemed to be enlarged, and she felt very comfortable.The floor had a log pattern and color, and the hot spring was surrounded by white gauze, which was very artistic.Nicole walked over. The ground nearby was paved with cobblestone, each of which was crystal clear.The warmth instantly rose from the soles of her feet when she stepped on them, further enlarging her pores.The sound of the w
