Nicole saw that it was almost time, so she took Levi’s little hand and said, “Let’s go. I heard that there’s a parent-child activity later. What sports did you sign up for? Running? I didn’t wear sneakers today though…”Levi helplessly followed Nicole outside and replied, “I signed up for Go!”After Nicole heard this, she paused for a while before she said, “Great…”Levi raised his head in surprise.Nicole frankly added, “I don’t know how to play Go.”Levi was speechless.They went to the appointed room and saw that the two empty seats on the opposite side of the table were already filled.Nicole frowned.It turned out to be Eric Ferguson.To Nicole’s surprise, the other seat was occupied by Cheryl Lichman.It looked like Eric still had some feelings for his son after all.Nicole glanced at them casually, walked over, and sat down.The teacher hurriedly greeted her. “Ms. Stanton, please take a seat.”It seemed that she was the last to arrive.Nicole smiled apologetically
Cheryl’s face was as pale as paper.Her self-esteem was attacked.She did not expect Eric, who looked like a gentleman, to say such heartless words.Cheryl was so embarrassed that she wanted to burrow into the ground.She was proud and pampered since childhood.Thus, when the man she liked insulted her like that, she found it hard to accept.After a long time, the teacher finally set up the activity and called everyone to gather around.Only then did Eric look up at Cheryl nonchalantly.“You’re not leaving yet?”His voice was indifferent.Cheryl took a deep breath.She knew that if she left now, she would lose any chance she had with Eric.If so, what was the difference between her and the other women he looked down on?Cheryl would not flee in shame.She had to take down Eric.Thinking of this, Cheryl smiled. “Mr. Ferguson, you’re right. Because of you, I won’t mind being a stepmother to Chance. I accept this fact.”Eric frowned and glanced at her.Cheryl took a deep
Cheryl’s first reaction when she saw Eric was to shirk any responsibility.The teacher looked up at Cheryl, hesitated for a while, and said, “Mr. Ferguson, you provided Chance’s safety harness, and it was never faulty. When Ms. Lichman put it on for Chance, I reminded her to be careful..."Eric’s face darkened.Although he did not witness the accident, he immediately understood what caused the accident after listening to their explanation.Eric glanced at Cheryl coldly. He was no longer polite as he said frankly, “You can explain it to my lawyer and the police later.”He implied that he would not brush off this matter easily.Cheryl instantly looked embarrassed.The teacher said, “The doctor will be here soon.”In the next second, another person hurried in.“Chance…”Yasmin ran in anxiously and knelt beside Chance with worry in her eyes.She carefully touched Chance’s head. It looked gory because of the pool of blood under his head.Chance pulled her sleeve tightly, opened
Eric’s eyes were indifferent, and his voice was harsh as he said, “Why? He doesn’t know anything about the things his sister did?”Cheryl implied several times that she approached him with Gerard’s knowledge.Otherwise, Eric would not have tolerated her so many times.However, this woman was much more ruthless than he thought.Mitchell pursed his lips. “The police have already detained Cheryl Lichman for questioning. The surveillance footage and witnesses are all available, so it’s easy to convict her. But she refuses to admit that she did it.”“It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t admit it as long as it doesn’t affect the conviction.”Eric said coldly.Mitchell was silent. It seemed that Eric was determined to settle accounts.Right.No matter what, Chance was Eric’s son. How could Eric just ignore it when Chance was injured while in Cheryl’s care. In the next second, Eric suddenly paused. “Where’s Yasmin?”Mitchell looked around. “I was in a hurry just now, so I didn’t pay at
Mitchell said, “Although Young Master Chance’s life is no longer in danger, he fell from such a high place.”Mitchell glanced at him lightly. “You shouldn’t go to Mr. Ferguson to beg for mercy again for the sake of J&L Corporation.”That was all Mitchell had to say.Not long after Gerard left, Yasmin hurried over.Mitchell glanced at her with dissatisfaction.“Why are you late?”Yasmin paused and explained in a harmless and innocent tone.“I was afraid that I wrongly accused Ms. Lichman, so I went to check the surveillance footage. Is the young master alright?”Mitchell frowned. “He’s alright. Stay here and take care of the young master. I’m going to the police station.”“Okay.”Once Mitchell left, Yasmin’s harmless expression slowly faded. She took a deep look in the direction that Mitchell left and pushed open the door of the ward.Chance’s little face was pale, and his head was wrapped in gauze. He looked so pitiful.He lay there, completely unaware of the person who jus
After a long time, Gerard looked shocked, and he could not calm down.Gerard’s voice was dry and hoarse.“So, you just let her set the place on fire and watched silently, huh?”Cheryl was startled. She subconsciously shook her head.“I… I wanted to save Chance, but Nicole had already rushed in. Right! I wanted to save Chance, but I was one step too late!”Gerard looked at his sister with complicated eyes.Was she still the proud and confident Cheryl Lichman that he knew?When Cheryl spoke, she dodged his gaze. She was lying, and she was guilty.Gerard thought of this and felt like his head was covered by a layer of haze. He only felt a chill in his heart.If it only involved Cheryl, this matter would be relatively simple.However, Cheryl was so stupid to get involved with Ingrid.Eric would never let Cheryl get away with it like how he would cover for Ingrid.Gerard paused, looked at Cheryl for a full minute, stood up, and turned to leave.“Brother, will you help me?”Ger
Nicole avoided Chatty as if she was fleeing from a plague.Chatty did not realize that her mother was disgusted by her. The big fish was still flapping its tail in her little arms, splashing water everywhere.The little girl grinned happily.Nicole could not help but laugh and took out her phone to take a photo of Chatty.“Our little Chatty is so strong!”“Mommy! Carry it…”“Mommy doesn’t want to carry it. You can carry it yourself!”After Nicole finished speaking, Chatty pouted unhappily, carried the big fish, and turned to leave.Chatty even snorted before leaving.Nicole looked at her daughter in shock. “Who did she learn this from?!”Floyd glanced at Nicole. “Why don’t you think about who’s been at home during this time?”Nicole paused. “Third Brother?”This was very much like Kai’s temper.Chatty got back into the water, let go of the fish, and caught another fish to play with.The few fishes in the fountain were exhausted from Chatty playing around with them.Seein
Clayton’s lips could not help but curl up when he said that. He looked radiant and did not feel restrained at all.He seemed like he was proudly showing off.One of Clayton’s close friends stood up and said, “Just as well. Ms. Stanton has quite a reputation in Atlanta. We should’ve gone to visit her. Why don’t we go out and say hello?”“That’s right, Mr. Sloan. Let’s go out and say hello to your wife. You won’t mind, right?”Seeing everyone’s enthusiasm, Clayton raised his eyebrows.“Of course, I don’t mind!”Clayton took his jacket and walked out with a few people behind him.When they got to the downstairs lobby, they did not see Nicole. However, Kai stood there looking tall and slender as he asked the waiter about the latest gossip.Clayton paused and swept a glance. He could not see Nicole anywhere.He was about to walk past Kai when Kai beckoned to him.“Brother-in-law, my sister asked me to pick you up! Shall we go?”Kai swaggered over, nodded to the people behind Clay
