Chapter 239 Kidnapping Or Robbery
Floyd Stanton stood by the side with a cold face, not saying a word.He was not in the mood to watch his brother’s family affairs.The most hateful thing was that they ruined his daughter’s birthday party.Thus, he had no intention of helping them no matter how viciously Nicole fought back.They deserved it!Jade and Lydia were guilty. If this carried on, it would only be detrimental to them.They left with their tails between their legs.Noah Stanton was also not in the mood to stay, so he left after saying a few words to Floyd.The small episode did not cause that much of a storm.Everyone soon tacitly changed the subject. Some people continued dancing, while others exchanged pleasantries.Who would dare to whisper and joke about what just happened?Nicole quietly sipped a glass of red wine. The wine stained her lips crimson, and her cold and aloof aura made her even more bright and beautiful.When she turned around, she saw Floyd’s cold and gloomy face.She walked over
Chapter 240 I’ll Be a Good Girl and Listen
Nicole had only smelled that kind of cold and expensive perfume on Chloe Snyder before.During their first meeting at the auction, in Ian’s home, and at the banquet tonight… Chloe had used the same type of perfume.The person across from Nicole let out a soft laugh.“Ms. Stanton, you’re very smart... You actually recognized me?”Nicole could not be bothered to talk with her and rolled her eyes.Unfortunately, Chloe might not be able to see that eye roll.What a waste of emotion!Would Chloe Snyder, the legendary woman who created a business empire and was worshiped, praised, and thought of as someone who could achieve anything, kidnap Nicole?It was clear that Chloe did not do this on the spur of the moment, much less for money.“I’m afraid you didn’t bring me here to say something nice to me, right, Ms. Snyder? Then just get to the point. What do you want?”Chloe’s breath paused slightly.Nicole could feel the irritation and coldness that Chloe was desperately trying to con
Chapter 241 Triple-Killed
The moment Chloe Snyder raised her hand, the two burly men behind Nicole stepped forward.There was a very tacit understanding in their action.Just as they were about to touch Nicole, they suddenly felt a cold chill passing in front of them.Before they could react, Nicole disappeared before their eyes in a flash!The darkness created good conditions for Nicole.Nicole nimbly dodged to the side and pressed her body low.In an instant, she shifted behind them.Before the two men could realize what was going on, she lifted her right foot and took off one of her stilettos.She pinched the tip of the stiletto, so the heel was facing outward. With a swift and powerful momentum, her actions were so fast that she seemed to blur.Just when she was about to hit the man nearest to her, the man suddenly felt a cold breeze behind him.He instinctively ducked forward, intending to dodge the attack.However, the next second, Nicole suddenly twisted her wrist and smashed the stiletto over
Chapter 242 Show’s Over
Chloe’s face instantly turned ugly as the flames of anger in her eyes burned wildly.She was still the President of Snyder Corporation, an unparalleled figure in Cali.How would she tolerate being belittled multiple times?Chloe Snyder glared at the burly man next to her. “What are you still standing there for? Get her!”The man received the order and took a step towards Nicole with a stern and cold look. He planned to knock her out so that she would be unable to retaliate when they took her away, which would save them a lot of trouble.The stalemate of this tense situation was about to break at any moment.Nicole glanced over with cold and aloof eyes.She secretly tightened her grip on the stiletto in her hand...The chill in the air spread.A burst of cold wind appeared behind Nicole. The man’s left hand reached out to clasp her shoulder, preventing her from making any moves.Keith and Mitchell were shocked and were just about to call out to her.However, before anyone cou
Chapter 243 She Hit You?
The surrounding atmosphere was instantly frozen. The cold was bone-chilling, and it was so quiet that no one dared to breathe loudly.Eric’s cold eyes turned to Nicole with a hint of surprise.Nicole met his gaze carelessly.When their gaze collided, he saw a deep distrust in her eyes.His heartbeat faltered as if he had been stabbed.“You think that I instructed Chloe Snyder to do this?”Eric narrowed his eyes sharply.Nicole did not make a sound and simply gave him a cold smile.Her silence said everything.To the side, Keith could not help but shiver as bursts of chilling air surrounded him. ‘What’s going on?’“Why else would you be standing here right now?”After Nicole spoke, the air seemed to grow even colder.Keith hurriedly went up to explain. “You’ve misunderstood us. This has nothing to do with Eric! When we were leaving, Eric wanted to look for you because he had something to say. We couldn’t find you anywhere, then the doorman told us that you came this way, so
Chapter 244 Unlucky
Chloe Snyder shivered all over when she heard Ian’s words.The usually egotistical, romantic, and gentle Second Young Master Carter now looked like he wanted to skin her alive.At that moment, the many years of perseverance and adoration Chloe had for him seemed to be reduced to dust.There was a trace of pain in her expression.However, no one cared about her.Nicole saw through Chloe’s thoughts and gave her a sidelong glance.She snorted lightly and answered Ian, “She doesn’t have that capability.”Ian and Grant both sighed in relief at her words.Grant looked at Eric with a complicated gaze.If Nicole was not in danger, she would not have triggered the alarm.Were those two burly men hired by Eric Ferguson or Chloe Snyder?“What is Mr. Ferguson doing here?”Eric looked at Nicole expressionlessly and did not respond. His face was incredibly grim.Keith quickly stepped forward and explained the situation again.Mitchell echoed by his side.Grant looked away. It was unli
Chapter 245 Accused of Plagiarism
As the cold wind blew, Nicole had no interest in staying here and simply left.It was already very late when she got home.Early the next morning when she opened her eyes, the first thing that caught her eye outside the window were layers upon layers of leafy green.Precious and rare species of trees were all around, and the sunlight peeking from the cracks lazily lit up her face.What a beautiful day...The unhappiness from last night was instantly forgotten.Nicole got up and freshened up, then turned on her tablet to see the latest stock market movements.A message sent to her from Grant at 4:00 am last night popped up on the screen. [Chloe Snyder has been dealt with. You can sleep with ease.]He resolved it so quickly?Grant had always been protective of her, so she guessed that his way of resolving this would not be courteous.However, Nicole had wondered for a moment about what role Eric played in this incident.He had looked at her last night with such complex emotion
Chapter 246 Tell Your Old Lover to Come Forward
Nicole did not speak.She simply looked up at Gerard Lichman.He did not seem to be joking.The air was silent for a moment, and Nicole’s mood sank.The biggest breakthrough of the AI chip was that it had the ability to detect potential or obvious illnesses in the human body.This was great progress they had announced to the whole world.In order not to cause any unnecessary trouble to Maverick, they attributed the design to the joint experimental research lab of the Stanton Corporation, J&L Corporation, and Ferguson Corporation.If Stanton Corporation highlighted their exclusive rights to the chip, it would make people think that the three-way cooperation was falling apart, and it would cause their stock prices to plummet. That would only lead to unnecessary trouble.There was nothing to gain but harm.They had high hopes for this project.It would be a shame if the project was aborted because of such trivialities before it came to fruition.Nicole calmed down. “Do you know
