The research laboratories on the shore also had self-destruction systems.It was a fail-safe in case others wanted to steal their research to do dangerous things. Thus, destroying the laboratory was better.However, they also had rules for that. If it was not a war, then this system should never be activated.Connor did not expect that Sebastian would also steal this system from them.Sebastian’s undersea laboratory was basically a replica of the laboratory on shore.However, this self-destruction device was not placed somewhere that Connor was familiar with.Connor immediately realized that Sebastian was planning to destroy all the evidence.If that were the case, no one would be able to find this place and see the gory truth.Everyone instantly became alert.Connor was a step too late. When he entered the room, he saw Sebastian standing there with a pale but distorted face. Sebastian had a reckless, cruel, and resentful smile on his face.“Don’t think that you guys can leav
The countdown timer finally came to an abrupt end.That one minute felt like it was taking so long, but at the same time, it also felt very short.In the last few seconds, the ticking timer seemed to drag on infinitely.It sounded like an air defense siren that pierced through the depths of the sea.Nicole’s nervous heart calmed down instantly.The man she loved was by her side, so why should she be afraid of death?How could she ignore everything and leave him behind?Nicole squeezed his hand.Before she could say a word, she heard the explosion.The explosion almost shattered her eardrums, and it seemed to engulf everything in an instant.It was cold and indifferent.At that moment, Nicole felt the impact of the shockwave and was pushed outward.In this deep sea, their lives seemed insignificant.The fish on the other side of the glass was soon shaken by the strong shockwave. The seawater swept over and destroyed everything in its path.All the lights around them went o
Kai came into the room and waved his hand in front of Nicole’s face.“Do you remember me?”He heard that Nicole was badly concussed, so he was afraid that she would become a fool.That was what Kai had been worried about.Nicole blinked. “No…”Kai’s face turned pale. “Leighton…”Leighton coughed and came in.“I see you can’t take a joke, huh?”Kai was taken aback.He suddenly realized that Leighton was making fun of him.Kai looked at Nicole’s face again only to see her sly smile that was not one bit confused or unfamiliar.He suddenly realized that he had been pranked.That little liar!“If you weren’t still on that hospital bed, I would’ve beaten you up!”Kai spoke harshly.Eric said calmly on the side. “Kai has been worried about you. You’re lucky that you can wake up again.”Nicole smiled and suddenly thought of something.“Where’s Luca?”Kai pursed his lips. “Luca is fine. He just has some superficial wounds and a lung infection. You guys are really lucky. More t
The panic caused by the earthquake had not completely disappeared.Therefore, neither Eric nor anyone could replace Clayton’s existence.Kai was still thinking about what Nicole said just now.He felt like he was hit in the head and could not react for a long time.“Are you mistaken just like Chatty?”How could Jeff be Clayton?They had no similarities at all!Nicole looked at him calmly.“Third Brother, I’m certain. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have risked my life for a stranger.”Kai was silent for a long time.After a long time, Kai asked her in a dry voice, “Then… What should we do? That guy woke up once. Leighton and the others asked him if he was willing to accept the risky experiment and said that they could use Sebastian’s method. But they’ll change the risk assessment and experiment methods. This will give him a chance to stand up again. But if it fails, his lower body will be completely amputated. He already agreed to it.”Nicole’s expression suddenly changed, and her lip
It was just that Nicole hid it so well that others could not see it.The moment she came back, she did not mention anything about Clayton.There were no fluctuations in her emotions either.It was weird and out of character for Nicole, but Kai did not say anything. He just smiled and asked Michael and the others to go to the wine cellar to get some wine.Leighton and the others also drank some.Camille was the happiest, probably because the company’s problems were resolved, and everyone was safe and sound.Nicole could not drink, so she only sipped on her juice.After the meal, Leighton played games with Fischer and Chatty while Camille walked to Nicole’s side.Camille could not hide the joy on her face.“Ms. Stanton, this is great! We’ve gotten rid of Sebastian, and you’re awake. We can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”Nicole smiled. “Yes. I was really lucky to not die in that explosion…”Camille explained in a low voice, “I heard from Leighton and Connor that the self-de
The waiter came over and asked politely, “Would you like to order something?”Nicole smiled. “No thanks.”The waiter politely retreated.Eric did not seem to care if Nicole stayed for dinner because he did not expect her to.Nicole glanced at him. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going back first.”Eric looked in a certain direction quietly. It took a few seconds before he spoke.“Why not go to him?”Nicole pursed her lips and took a deep breath.“I’ve looked for him many times. This time, I want to wait for him to come to me.”“Aren’t you afraid that he’ll die?”Eric asked back.Nicole said, “He won’t want to die so easily.”He still had so many precious things – Chatty, Nicole, and his family. So, how could he be willing to die?With that, Nicole stood up.She said all that she came to say.Eric should be able to understand.Eric looked at her with a bit of forbearance.“Nicole, if he hadn’t shown up in your life…”Nicole paused and interrupted him.“No.”Eric was si
Nicole smiled and walked in.Kai hugged Julie from behind and spun her around happily.“Jules...”Julie pushed him away and smiled.“You were holding hands with a little girl in a mall abroad, and that made headlines. Don’t think I forgot about it!”Kai was taken aback for a moment before he realized what Julie was talking about.“I’m innocent! That girl is Chatty! She’s such a shopaholic and pestered me to buy things for her...”As such, the paparazzi misunderstood the situation and described Chatty as Kai’s illegitimate daughter.However, Dominic Young quickly blocked this news from spreading.Kai did not expect Julie to know and pay attention to it.This showed that Julie had always been paying attention to news about Kai.Kai smiled and leaned over to Julie.“Next time, I’ll hold your hand, so don’t be jealous!”Nicole looked at Floyd, who was sitting in the living room with a cold expression.Grant and Kai obviously did not intend to help her.Thus, Nicole had no ch
Fortunately, Hamilton was mentally strong. He quickly smiled and said, “Logan is dealing with some important matters in the office, so I volunteered to run errands for him. It’s also because I really wanted to meet you formally, Ms. Stanton. Please forgive me if I’ve offended you.”Nicole raised her eyebrow. At least, he made her feel comfortable.He was not a scheming or calculative person and was more like an innocent boy.Nicole chuckled. “You're welcome, I heard from my father that you’re his friend’s son. Which family are you related to?”“Lance Sheldon is my cousin. It’s actually quite a coincidence. I was going to join my cousin’s company, but he suddenly withdrew his business from Atlanta. Fortunately, you and Uncle Floyd are still willing to take me in.”Nicole paused slightly and looked up at him.“Lance?”Lance gave up on his plans in Atlanta not long after Yvette’s passing.With Lance’s ability, if he followed his plan to expand his business in Atlanta, he would hav
