After the song, everyone applauded Selena.However, Selena only sang one song because she was in a good mood.She was more confident on stage, and she had a failed life off-stage.This stark contrast made Eric feel distressed.Selena handed the guitar to the musician next to her and walked down the stage with a smile.When she looked up, she saw Eric sitting there.Eric nodded lightly. He looked, aloof, indifferent, noble, and reserved.Selena raised her eyebrows and walked over with a smile.Although they were not close, Eric had helped her so many times, and she was not a heartless person.Thus, she walked over with the wine that the bartender handed to her and greeted Eric with a smile.“Mr. Ferguson, are you in such a bad mood that you’d come to my bar? I thought you were always busy!”After all, there were three types of people who came to the bar — people in a bad mood who wanted to let loose, successful people like Eric who came to discuss business, and people who pur
“Y-You want me to go…?”Quinn panicked in fright.Her plastic friends looked at her in surprise. Quinn quickly adjusted her expression, turned around with a smile, and turned her back to them.“Wouldn’t I be exposed if I went?”Quinn was already. Her son looked down on her, and her status in the Ferguson family plummeted.If Eric found out that she wanted to kill Nicole, she might be kicked out of the Ferguson Villa.After all, Eric was not a kind or sentimental person.Thus, Quinn subconsciously resisted the idea and panicked.The man paused. He felt that Quinn’s cowardice was ridiculous and said indifferently, “Don’t worry. I’ve broken the surveillance cameras, so no one will notice you. Who else can you boss around? I’m sure they were all bought out by your son. You can put on a disguise and go in through the fire escape. No one will see you. Then, drive Nicole’s car to a remote place and leave it there.By the time the Stanton family realized this, Nicole would already be
Quinn drove out.Her heartbeat was getting faster as if it was about to break through her chest.She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, lest Nicole found out.Quinn quickly stepped on the accelerator.She came to a red light, but she did not care.The next second, a large truck came out from the side and rammed toward her at an extremely fast speed.100 meters… 50 meters… 30 meters...Quinn only realized the danger when the large truck honked at her.Her eyes widened instantly. Her complexion was pale, and she quickly slammed on the brakes.However, the brakes did not respond at all no matter how hard she stepped on them.It was too late.The man’s sneer flashed in her mind. Was this his ploy?He actually tampered with this car instead?The brakes of the truck screeched against the ground. The sound was sharp and harsh.In an instant, Quinn slammed into the steering wheel.The car crashed into the fence next door, whirled around, and rolled over.Quinn was
The police officer spoke again.“That car is nearly scrapped. We have investigated Mrs. Quinn Ferguson’s latest activities and call records. She has contacted an unfamiliar number from abroad, but it’s a temporary number. We’ve started tracking it. If you have any clues, you can provide them to us.”Nicole nodded.Her expression was very complicated. She felt sorry for what happened to Quinn, but she could not think of Quinn’s purpose for doing this.“Have you met Mrs. Quinn Ferguson recently?”The police officer asked.Nicole shook her head. “No, I don’t have any contact with her privately.”The police officer nodded.“Well, we have no other questions for now, so you two can leave.”Clayton thanked him and helped Nicole get up.“Were you scared?”Clayton touched Nicole’s forehead.Nicole shook her head. “I just can’t figure it out.”The couple went out and got into the car.Clayton paused. “Why don’t we go to the hospital to check it out? Mr. Ferguson may know more than
Eric lowered his head, and his shoulders slumped.“You can come up with any conditions you want as compensation.”Seeing Eric like this, Nicole was speechless for a while.Nicole did not mind confronting Eric if he insisted on keeping this under wraps.However, Eric compromised so easily.Nicole pursed her lips. Although Quinn brought this onto herself and deserved it, Quinn received her punishment.Eric was also unaware of it.Nicole thought about it for a while, then she looked at him coldly and said blankly, “Well, I don’t mind keeping this matter from the public, but you must tell the police because I’m not sure if Mrs. Ferguson will continue to find trouble with me after she wakes up. So, it’s better to let the police handle it. But I won’t disclose it to the media. Of course, if there are any comments online related to this matter, you’ll have to deal with it yourself. We won’t intervene.”She was willing to compromise, but she would not help Eric to hide this from the po
Clayton quickly grabbed Chatty’s fleshy little hand and said, “I will!”He smiled, went over, and patted Fischer’s head.“Come on, let’s go in. I’ll quiz you on your homework.”Fischer sighed, walked in front, and shook his head.Nicole was carrying little Kenji and teasing him.Kenji looked at Nicole, grinned, and stretched out his hand to touch her face, and grab her hair and her clothes. He was so happy that he wanted to jump up.Clayton clicked his tongue, put Chatty down, and went to carry Kenji.The baby was very cheerful. He looked better than when he was just discharged from the hospital.His eyebrows were delicate, and his double-eyelid eyes were dark, glittering, and clear.Kenji was loveable.Nicole smiled and sat on the side. “He’s a little more mischievous than Little Leaf, who was so obedient even as a baby.”Clayton smiled and nodded.“It’s good that he’s mischievous. Otherwise, Big Brother will be bored!”“True.”As they spoke, Floyd came in with a fishing
Seeing that Kai and Nicole were about to quarrel again, Clayton rubbed his temples helplessly and took Nicole’s hand.“Okay, okay… We’ll pick Julie up along the way. Hasn’t it been a long time since you’ve seen her? You can take this opportunity to talk to her!”“My brother-in-law is still the best! Thanks! I’ll go home and wait for her then!”Kai stood up, sent a message to Julie, and left without hesitation.Fischer saw that Kai was leaving and took advantage of the situation to win the game.He jumped in excitement.Clayton looked at the boy with a stern expression and said in a warm and deep voice, “Go upstairs and sleep.”Fischer nodded excitedly and did not dare to talk back to Clayton. He was happy with winning the game once.Nicole watched as Floyd came down from the study and smiled at him.“Dad, we’ll get going then.”“It’s so late. Why don’t you stay for the night and leave tomorrow?”“Third Brother is slacking off and wants us to pick Julie up on his behalf, so w
Nicole and Clayton tacitly did not talk about what happened with Kira blocking the car window earlier, but Julie took the initiative to mention it. Nicole also responded.The corners of Clayton’s mouth twitched, and he just listened to the girls’ conversation.“That woman used to be a model abroad. This time, she has some connections and wants to act in my movie as a model who made a comeback. It’s a secondary role, but it’s still not a small role. The investor wants to stuff her in, but she’s not that talented… Why would I spend so much money to support an untalented person? What a joke!”Julie spoke in front while she rubbed her temples. Her voice was a bit cold.Clayton’s eyes were dark as he glanced at Nicole.Nicole did not seem to mind this. Instead, she seemed more interested in the gossip.“She wants to be an actress?”Julie raised her eyebrows. “That also depends on whether someone is willing to spend money on her, right?”This dinner was probably the most effort that
