Chapter 2059 Force Her to Jump
After Nicole hung up the phone, she still could not digest the news.Nicole had seen Tina a few hours ago. Tina even bragged that she was about to be freed from a failed marriage.How did she die so suddenly?Nicole immediately felt a chill all over her body.The soles of her feet felt cold.Clayton carried Nicole to the sofa and patted her on the shoulder gently.“I’m sorry. I should’ve gone up with you last night.”Something must have happened last night, but Nicole was too tired at the time to notice.Clayton touched her face.“It’s okay. I know you didn’t do it. Everything will be fine as long as you explain what happened clearly. I’ll take care of the rest for you.”Nicole’s expression suddenly changed.She tugged on his clothes.“This isn’t right. Is it related to our house’s intruder from before? Tina knows me. Is that person targeting me?”It was hard for Nicole not to doubt herself. Why was she involved in this?Clayton kissed the back of her hand.He patiently
Chapter 2060 Strange and Normal
Clayton forced a smile in response to Nicole’s question.“It’s hard to say!”It was meaningful.At the hospital, the other floors besides the affected areas were open as usual.After all, the hospital was not an ordinary public area. Even if someone died, they could not delay other life-saving operations.Nicole walked in with a heavy heart.She felt pity for Tina.Although Tina brought it upon herself, Nicole still felt that Tina was a pitiful woman.Nicole could not blame a pitiful, hopeless woman for being useless.The closer she got to the floor, the weirder she felt.Clayton contacted the hospital’s director in advance. The dean had just come from the police station with a heavy heart as well.“Mr. Sloan, Ms. Stanton, what are you doing here? I believe in Ms. Stanton’s innocence. Have you made it clear to the police?”Nicole smiled and nodded.“Director, do you have the surveillance footage for this floor?”The director replied, “The police took one copy, and I have
Chapter 2061 You Have to Be Sensible
The director was stunned for a moment and had some doubts.Clayton explained. “This spells trouble for the hospital. If word gets out that a patient jumped off the hospital building, what will happen to the hospital’s credibility?”He did not continue the rest, but the director understood in an instant.If Eric came forward, this matter would be resolved faster.He just had some doubts. With Clayton’s and Nicole’s background and influence, it would not be difficult to cover up this matter.Why did they want to involve Eric into this?The director could not figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.Since Clayton pointed him in a direction, the director had no choice but to do as told.Clayton and Nicole stood up.Nicole pursed her lips. “What did the police conclude on their investigation at the crime scene? Were there any signs of struggle?”The director paused and nodded.Nicole’s heart sank slightly. She understood in an instant.It was no wonder the police dared to
Chapter 2062 What He Should Not Say
Chance’s expectations of his father were no longer as high as they were in the beginning.He gradually accepted that his father did not like him.Eric cared more about Uncle Mitchell and did not care about him.Uncle Mitchell said that there was a reason for it and that he would understand when he grew up.However, could he survive until then?Nicole sat there for less than two minutes before Clayton brought the doctor over.She stood up and was about to walk away when Chance opened his eyes, took her hand, and looked at her pitifully.Nicole suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.In the next second, Clayton walked over with a smile, took Chance’s hand away from Nicole, held his hand, and sat in Nicole’s seat. He said with a smile, “Do you need to be coaxed to sleep? I’m more experienced in taking care of children. Let me!”Nicole raised her eyebrows and nodded immediately.“Right, go ahead!”She completely believed in Clayton’s ability.Clayton could even control the little
Chapter 2063 Be Together Forever
The corner of Yasmin’s mouth twitched as she leaned forward slightly.Her eyes suddenly became gentle as she reached out to touch Chance’s fair and tender little face.However, she did not have much emotion.“Chance, Mommy is doing this for your own good. Didn’t you always want our little family of three to be together forever? As long as you help Mommy and Daddy stay together, we can be reunited.”Chance lay stiffly on the bed and tried his best to close his eyes, pretending to be asleep.He pretended not to hear Yasmin’s horrifying words.Yasmin did not get mad either.She gently touched Chance’s small fist.In the next second, Chance shuddered out of panic, and the thing in his hand fell out.Yasmin’s eyes flickered slightly. She picked up the earring, and her eyes gradually turned cold.If she remembered correctly, Nicole had the same earring on one of her ears just now.Her eyes gradually darkened as she looked at Chance’s face.Chance opened his eyes, looking very ner
Chapter 2064 Who Are You?
In fact, Cheryl and Ingrid met at Old Master Ferguson’s funeral.Cheryl followed Gerard to the Ferguson Villa.Since Quinn could not make it back to Atlanta, the matron of the house was not there to welcome them. Thus, the servants settled them down at the side hall.However, Cheryl could not sit still.Cheryl saw Ingrid dressed in black clothes, sneakily following Mitchell to the back building.She was astonished.After Mitchell left, Ingrid went upstairs and locked the room.Cheryl only realized what happened when Ingrid lit the curtains, sofa, and other flammable items on fire.She came to a realization that Ingrid wanted to trap Eric’s son in a fire.Cheryl saw hatred, pleasure, indifference, and forbearance in Ingrid’s eyes.She did not understand why Ingrid would hate a child so much.The fire burned for a long time before it reached the second floor.Suddenly, there was an urgent rapping coming from the second floor. Chance was calling for help.Ingrid laughed happi
Chapter 2065 Openly Imitate Her
Cheryl hesitated to speak. When Ingrid turned around, she saw Cheryl.In an instant, Cheryl and Ingrid regained their composure.Ingrid smiled at Cheryl and tucked her hair behind her ear.“I was waiting for you. You finally came out.”Cheryl walked over and asked unintentionally, “Sorry, did I come at a bad time? I didn’t mean to pry into your personal affairs.”Ingrid raised her eyebrows. “You’ll be part of our family sooner or later, so don’t worry about it.”Cheryl smiled and seemed to be a little depressed.“Your brother seems to have no interest in me. I guess I’m not his type, huh? I think his attitude toward the nanny is much better than it is to me.” Ingrid looked up, smiled, and took her arm.“Cheryl, don’t think too much. Everyone has their own style. How could Eric like a nanny? He just did that to provoke me. You won’t be implicated in our conflict. If you’re not his type, then you can just change your style to fit his type.”Cheryl looked at her in surprise.I
Chapter 2066 Her Background
Eric frowned. He could not stand seeing his son being so cowardly and timid.However, he knew that he was not close to his son, so he could not bring himself to lecture Chance.Who knew how Angie brought him up in the first place?Eric suspected from the beginning that Angie had an ulterior motive in placing Chance by his side.Since Angie had bad intentions, Eric was not willing to waste his effort in developing feelings for his son.Thus, Eric did not care much about this kid.Eric thought so, and the emotion in his eyes faded a little.He stood up straight and looked at Yasmin.“Take good care of the young master. If he gets sick again, you won’t be able to keep this job.”Yasmin could not even take care of a child, and Eric usually did not have much patience for his employees.He would rather replace Yasmin with another nanny that could do the job well.Yasmin paused and immediately assured him.“Mr. Ferguson, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of the young master so that
