Julie paused and sighed.“I’m not worried about my past being known. I did nothing wrong, and it’s nothing shameful, so if this kind of thing happens again in the future, don’t worry about me. You don't dare to resist. But it probably won’t happen in the future. After this time, our relationship is officially made public. It looks like I have to be like you in the future and wear a hat and a mask when I go out!”More importantly, someone was always staring at them. If they caught anything, it would become a sign of their marriage failure.Kai patted her head.“Jules, I’m sorry…”……Nicole got on the plane with Luca, Roland, Logan, and Kai.Kai was still forced to go with Nicole and had no choice but to tag along.Especially since Kai was happy lately, and Julie had been convincing him to go and take care of Nicole.Chatty and Fischer insisted on following Nicole too.Floyd suggested that since they had a villa over there, they should just go for a vacation and relax.Thus, t
Michael’s face turned pale, and his beautiful blue eyes were full of panic.“Where’s Daddy?”Nicole took a deep breath.She tried her best to suppress the surging emotions in her heart.She paused for a while and said calmly, “Michael, you probably heard about the earthquake in Mediania a while ago, right? We happened to be there when the earthquake struck, and Clayton went missing…”Michael’s face instantly turned pale.He stood there looking shocked.Nicole took a deep breath. “Michael, I came here to tell you this. I don’t want to hide anything from you. I know you’ll get suspicious if you can’t contact him, so I want to tell you in person. You’re a strong kid. No matter where he is, I hope you can grow up healthily. He has paved the way for you, and he loved you no less than anyone else. Michael, we’re your family, so you can come to me for anything, and I will take good care of you and Chatty on behalf of your father.”Michael’s expression changed, and his tears were about
Listening to Eric’s words, Nicole felt the air around her ears freeze for a moment.She thought about it for a second and found that there was actually no fluctuation or feeling in her heart.There were no emotions, shock, or regret.There was nothing.It was like talking to a stranger.Nicole raised her head and looked at Eric’s face.It was familiar, but she did not feel anything.The corners of her mouth twitched, and her voice was as soothing as the wind.“Eric, it’s because I saw your intentions that I refused your kindness. Do you understand?”Eric’s eyes were stunned for a moment.He frowned. His facial features were as delicate as a sculpture. At this moment, he looked unreconciled and puzzled.“Why? He’s no longer here. I can understand that you can’t get over him for a while, but it won’t last forever. Since you can get out of the pain, you can also forget about your feelings for him eventually, right?”Nicole looked at him. Her tone became a little cold.“No. I
Nicole smiled and said, “Okay then, just tell me what you need.”Michael nodded, turned around, and started playing with Chatty.Nicole looked at the rapidly changing scenery outside the window and felt that her heart was at peace.If only he was here...If he was still in this world, he would definitely come back to her.But when would he come back?They finally arrived at the villa.Although they called it a villa, it was actually more like a castle. It was a Gothic-style building with a long history that the royals used to live in.The butler stayed in the villa to take care of the villa and its surroundings.Chatty ran in holding Michael’s hand, and the butler immediately came out to greet them.When Fischer saw that Chatty was back, he excitedly ran over to hug her.Nicole was stunned for a moment when she saw Fischer.“Fischer, didn’t your parents come to pick you up? You came back so soon?”Fischer pursed his lips in disappointment and scratched his head. His tender
Nicole fell silent as her heart sank.No wonder Roland deliberately dragged her over here.“Madam, if Mr. Sloan is here, he could still restrain them, but they somehow found out about Mr. Sloan’s accident… That’s why they started to make trouble.”It was easy to give up this project, but the price to pay later would be huge.This was also the reason why Clayton struggled to get this project.He wanted to introduce these easy-to-use and affordable medical products to Mediania. At least then, ordinary people who needed them could afford them.Nicole blinked and felt a series of mixed emotions in her heart.Clayton, the profiteer, would also go to such lengths for his country.She had learned a lot about Clayton in the past, and this time he completely refreshed her impression of him again.Nicole admired him for it, but he never mentioned this to her.Perhaps to him, this was just a trivial matter.When the elevator arrived, everyone went out one after another.Roland said, “
Roland frowned. “Jacques, why wouldn’t Mrs. Sloan understand the contract? She’s the president of Stanton Corporation, not a housewife who doesn’t know anything. Usually, lawyers need to read the documents word by word. Why are you so anxious when it’s only been a few minutes?”Jacques’s expression changed slightly as if he could not understand what Roland was saying.“What? Who is she?”He asked again in disbelief.Roland saw that Nicole had no reaction or opinion, so he repeated her identity again.Jacques instantly became serious and looked at Nicole solemnly. He no longer had a frivolous look in his eyes anymore.“Ms. Stanton?”He murmured, “The hospitals under the Stanton Corporation are very popular in our country, so we would like to cooperate with your hospitals. If our products can…”Nicole raised her hand to interrupt him and put the document on the table.She said with an indifferent smile, “Let’s talk about the cooperation with Stanton Corporation later. This is a
The corners of Roland’s mouth twitched, and he thought it was a little funny.“Jacques didn’t expect that you wouldn’t be fooled by him. He wasted all the feelings that he brewed in him. Madam, why does he want to cooperate with United International Hospital so much?”Nicole smiled and glanced out the window.“All medical equipment that United International Hospital uses is the most advanced in the world. Cooperating with United International Hospital is a kind of proof and honor that their brand is high quality. Although their brand is good, they can’t compare to other international brands. It takes strength to stand out.”Judging from Jacques’s expression, Nicole guessed that they had been looking for opportunities but never got a chance.“So that’s how it is. Luckily you came this time. Otherwise, it would be really difficult.”Roland rubbed his head and heaved a sigh of relief.Nicole’s victory in the first battle gave him a lot of confidence.Nicole was silent for a moment
Eric looked at Nicole seriously.Nicole understood what he meant and said, “Please, come in.”The butler came over with coffee and handed it to Eric.Eric was rarely in a good temper and thanked him.Nicole sat on the sofa and held a cup of tea with no other expression on her face.“Mr. Ferguson, what did you mean by what you just said?”Eric looked at her solemnly.“As far as I know, the company’s science and technology exhibition is a trap.”“What trap?”“Incorporating emotions in artificial intelligence is at a critical point where one wrong move could violate ethics. It’s not like simple cloning in the past. This time, it’s DNA duplication in humans. Using technology to create and transform new life still isn’t allowed in Mediania.”Eric’s tone was more solemn.“It’s not as simple as you imagine it to be. This isn’t a simple exhibition. George Quay, the world’s tech giant, is suffering from cancer. Why do you think he’s so interested in this reception?”Nicole frowned a
