“Nicole! Watch out—”Clayton suddenly pushed open the car door.Nicole’s expression stiffened when she suddenly felt a breeze from the back.In an instant, Nicole reacted very quickly. She ducked forward and bowed down to lower her body.Kirsi was so frightened that she took a few steps back. She accidentally tripped over a rock on the ground and clutched her belly in pain.Her face was pale.In the next second, the person who came out of nowhere chased after Nicole and raised a bottle of liquid high in her hand.Nicole quickly lowered her head, picked up something, and threw it backward.“Ah—”That person screamed.The attacker suddenly stopped rushing toward Nicole and stood frozen in place because of the pain.She was bleeding.The brick that Nicole threw at the attacker shattered in half.That person covered her head, squatted on the ground, and wailed in pain.The glass bottle she was holding also shattered, and the liquid splattered all over the floor.It was some
The police agreed as it was their duty to do so.Nicole and Clayton left here.When they got into the car, Nicole looked at Clayton. Her throat moved.“Hubby, why does it feel so strange? Although everything makes sense, I still feel that something is wrong…”Clayton touched her head and smiled.“Mm. It’s fine if you’re feeling that way because something is fishy.”Nicole raised her head to look at Clayton. His eyes were deep and dark.“We’re about to get to the bottom of it, but the murderer bumped into us. Isn’t it too much of a coincidence?”Nicole asked, “You don’t believe it either?”Clayton smiled. “Most people will hide after killing two people. Why did she rush over to get caught?”Nicole nodded solemnly.“You’re right!”“But this also just shows that the actual murderer is afraid that we’ll find her, so she wanted to expose another murderer to cover for her and divert everyone’s attention.”Clayton’s voice gradually turned cold.Nicole heard this and became more
Sure enough, Yvette sighed and looked at Nicole with complicated eyes.“The accounts there involve Sean’s ex-wife’s family.”“Don’t go then.”Nicole suggested sincerely.Yvette lowered her eyes. “I don’t think it’s good for me to interact with them again, but…”She bit her lower lip and was in a pickle.Nicole pondered for a moment. “Does Lance know about this?”Yvette shook her head.Nicole said, “You should discuss it with him. It’s best not to make your own decision. Of course, your career is important, but if you care about Lance, don’t push his bottom line.”Yvette looked at her for a few seconds and nodded silently.She knew that Nicole could read her thoughts.At first, Yvette planned to cut to the chase and deal with the consequences later, but when Nicole reminded her of this, Yvette became a little hesitant.It would depend on whether doing so was worth it or not.Yvette left in a trance.Only then did Nicole go back to work in her office.Grant was coming out
A few days passed.It was rare for Nicole to send Levi to school.Levi did not know whether he was happy or not at school. Every time Nicole asked him, he would ask her back, “Can I not go to school if I’m not happy?”Oh, of course not.Levi sighed loudly like an old man with lots of problems. It seemed like Levi could put up with this school.When they got to school, Nicole asked him to get out of the car. She carried his school bag to the entrance, held his hand, and could not help but sigh.“If only you could stay this young forever.”Levi gave her a look. “It’s impossible for you to stay young forever either.”Nicole retorted, “You really are Grant’s son!”“Yup.”The two of them looked at each other and laughed.At that moment, Levi’s eyes lit up when he looked behind Nicole. He waved his hand frantically and shouted, “Chance!”Chance ran over with a heavy school bag on his back. He was equally happy to see Levi.When Chance saw Nicole, he was excited at first but quic
Eric frowned. Although he did not want to deal with Chance’s matters, he still nodded at the teacher.“Mitchell is in Africa these days. If you can’t get in touch with him, you can contact the nanny. I can also connect you with my other assistants.”The teacher was a little shocked. “I’m afraid this isn’t something that a nanny or assistant can solve. Ms. Stanton was the one who recommended that we contact Chance’s guardian directly.”When Eric heard Nicole’s name, the coldness between his eyebrows eased slightly.“Let’s talk then.”The teacher paused. “Mr. Ferguson, you do know that child abuse is illegal, right?”Eric was silent and looked up at the teacher.“Get to the point.”The teacher was intimidated by Eric’s tone and took a deep breath.“We inadvertently found large bruises on Chance’s back and buttocks. The bruises were both old and new. Mr. Ferguson, do you know the origin of these marks?”For a while, the air in the office seemed to be frozen.“What did you say?”
Chance stood there sluggishly with his hands clasped tightly. He looked indescribably aggrieved as he lowered his head without saying a word.Eric pursed his lips. “Since you don’t want to tell me, I might have wrongly accused Yasmin. Do you want her to continue to take care of you?”Chance remained silent and stood there motionless.Eric finally lost his patience. He stared indifferently at the child who resembled him and said, “I don’t have time to waste all my energy on you. If you don’t say anything, then you can keep quiet forever. I’m not interested in knowing what happens between you and the nanny.”Chance finally had a reaction. He raised his eyelids slightly.However, this time, there was no light in his clear eyes. He looked like a child who grew up in an instant.Chance pursed his lips, and his face was pale.Eric’s secretary knocked on the door and came in to inform Eric of a meeting. Eric took his phone and went out without saying a word.Not long after, someone ca
Yasmin thought, ‘If only I didn’t meet Eric back then… None of this would’ve happened. That way, I wouldn’t be used by Clayton and wouldn’t have lost my freedom.’Yasmin looked at the man on the ground with gloomy eyes. Her expression turned vicious.She slowly raised the dagger in her hand and hooked her lips.“When he dies, you’ll inherit his property. Then, I can return to Southeast Asia to rebuild my forces. Son, I won’t give birth to you in vain!”Chance got up from the ground and shook his head to stop her.However, Yasmin did not care about Chance’s objection and only wanted to quickly resolve the matter at hand.Yasmin smiled. “I’ll let you see how I kill your father. You’ll probably be traumatized by it, but it doesn’t matter. Mommy grew up watching people get killed, and I have killed people myself. You’re my son, so you ought to learn how to kill. How about this? Why don’t you kill him? You might even get cured after killing him…”After she spoke, she took Chance’s ha
Eric did not hesitate at all. He pushed Chance away and walked out.At this time, the bodyguards who were stationed covertly outside ran in.“Mr. Ferguson, we caught her.”Eric’s eyes turned cold for a moment.He seemed to be quite glad.“Very good.”Chance followed closely behind Eric. Even with tears streaming uncontrollably down his face, Chance was afraid that something would happen to his mother.He was afraid of his mother, but he loved his mother too.How could a child hold a grudge?Chance wanted to shout to stop Eric, but he could hardly make a sound no matter how hard he tried.He could only use his strength to cry silently.Eric walked to the front. His back was awe-inspiring, and he was exuding a terrifying chill.Angie did not expect Eric to come prepared.She was caught so quickly and could not escape.Finally, she panicked.“Eric, don’t you want to know why I came here?”“No.”After Eric finished speaking, Angie was tied up.Angie struggled to no avail.
