Selena took Chance’s hand and shook her head, but she could not speak.She could only look at Eric, begging for help.Eric carried Chance down from the bed.“Go to bed. Don’t disturb her rest.”Chance turned his head three times and reluctantly left while wiping away his tears.Selena looked at Eric angrily.She was blaming him for not having much patience with Chance.Eric sighed, sat down, and applied the ointment to Selena’s neck.“I’m really not in the mood to think about anything else right now. I’ll apologize to him later, okay?”Selena blinked her tender and watery eyes.They finally found her biological father, so they could let go of all their worries.From the initial shock and grief, Selena felt somewhat relieved now.She felt that God treated her well.Her grandfather saved her and sent her back to hell, but she climbed back up.She also had her own career and this man in front of her.What else could she complain about?Selena was lucky.She did not fall i
Noah had lived in peace for twenty years.The musty smell of the damp room tainted Noah’s expensive suit.Noah laughed loudly, and blood flowed out of his mouth.It was nasty and sticky.Noah could vaguely see the car accident from back then and smell the gasoline from the collision as well as the blood after the woman jumped off the building.Surprisingly, it smelled the same.“Is she dead? I’m glad she’s dead…”Noah mumbled as he grinned.Eric looked at him with a cold gaze and kicked him, breaking several of his ribs.Noah clutched his chest in pain. His face turned pale, and he could not utter a word.The pain was extreme, so his body curled up. However, the sharp pain surged.Eric’s tone was cold. “Are you awake, Mr. Stanton?”Noah coughed up a mouthful of blood.He laughed intermittently.“She’s not dead, huh? What a pity…”Eric saw that Noah was delirious. His eyes darkened.“Watch him. There’s no need to call a doctor. It doesn’t matter if he dies.”“Yes, sir.”
Noah’s commercial crime became a homicide charge.The police’s investigation expanded in another direction.It was only during the interrogation that Noah realized that he had been fooled.His confession was never handed over to the police.Instead, he fell into the trap.Noah wanted to wait for the police to come up with the “admission of guilt” so that he could deny it and tell them about Eric’s illegal imprisonment of him.However, the police did nothing of the sort.Instead, Noah fell into the trap.When he wanted to retract his confession, the police had already started investigating the murders.The police also revoked Noah’s privilege of surrendering when he stopped cooperating with the interrogation.Selena handed over the diary, and the police solved the case with little effort.The basement of Selena’s parents’ house was filled with evidence.Fingerprints, bloodstains, and semen were all well preserved.Although it had been a long time, it was not troublesome to
“Who was it from?”“The investment was from Noah’s account. Just before Noah was arrested by the police, the bank said that Noah transferred the money at the last minute. If not mistaken, this money will be transferred to the Nelson family.”“It looks like Noah didn’t plan to hide his identity for long even if we didn’t attend Floyd’s birthday banquet.”Selena curled her lips and thought that it was still too late.It was as if something grazed her heart and made her emotions surge nonstop like the rough waves on the sea.It felt like an idea was emerging.“No, he’s not that stupid. Eric, I have a feeling that something is wrong. Although my uncle and aunt hate me, there’s no need to kill me. What good will it do them to have me dead?”Selena grasped the most crucial point. “Even if Noah gave them money, they would still end up offending you!”Eric looked at Selena deeply. He stretched out his hand and pinched her face as a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.“Mrs. Fergu
More importantly, Floyd just planted a seed of doubt in his heart from the diary that Selena showed him.It was not until he saw the final result of the police investigation that he realized how heinous his brother was.Noah killed two people just like that and did not feel any remorse.Floyd called everyone over because he had something to say.He held a short family meeting and even invited Chatty and Levi to participate.The family sat in the living room, huddled together.Floyd looked solemn.“Children, Noah’s case has been concluded. We have done everything we can. Eric hasn’t responded so far, which is the best reaction. At least, our family can stay out of it. Nicole, are your people still following Charles Ferguson?”Nicole stroked her chin and nodded.“I was afraid that Eric would do something crazy, so I had to have something on him.”“Okay. Recall your people. We’re at fault first, so don’t make things worse.”Nicole nodded.Floyd pursed his lips. “Noah only enjo
Jade’s face turned pale.“You should try both, or at least find a reliable lawyer to get him less jail time.”Nicole could not help but chuckle.She interrupted their conversation.“Aunt Jade, in fact, you came at the right time. We’re here to discuss how to rescue Uncle Noah!”Jade glanced at her in surprise and disbelief.“Then… What did you discuss?”Clayton smiled inexplicably. His warm gaze fell on Nicole, and he looked like he was watching a good show.Nicole sighed.“Actually, we have consulted a lawyer. The worst-case scenario is the death penalty. After all, he killed two people. But there is a way. Uncle Noah was married to you back then, right? As long as you come forward to testify that Uncle Noah has been with you all the time, so he didn’t have a chance to commit those crimes, there may be a glimmer of hope!”Jade’s face turned pale instantly, and she stood up in shock.“You… You want me to give a false statement? How could I? This is illegal!”Nicole sneered
Jade’s rudeness made Floyd’s face darken.Nicole twitched the corner of her mouth indifferently.“The shares of Stanton Corporation belong to the Stanton family. Back then, Uncle Noah signed his shares over to the company so that he would only enjoy the dividends. Now that he has left the company, he will not be able to enjoy the dividends. Aunt Jade, your plan has failed. These shares aren’t part of your property division. Even if they are to be divided, the interests of the company come first.”Jade’s complexion was dull.“Then what should I do? If he goes to jail, how will I survive? I don’t care! Those shares must be given to me! Otherwise, I won’t rest!”Jade sat there looking like a rogue, as if she was determined to get the shares.Floyd’s face was gloomy, and he glanced at Jade with a complicated look.“You should go back and wait for the police and the company’s notice. Noah stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the company. The company is nice enough not to chase
When Selena talked about Nicole and Eric, she had a smile on her face, and there was no concern or disgust in her eyes.It was probably because Selena felt that Eric had left his past behind.Eric would never approach Nicole again, and they each had their own lives.Nicole smiled. The gemstone bracelet in the box was shiny and beautiful. It was extravagant with each carefully crafted gemstone. There was a kind of wild and exquisite beauty to it.Nicole shook her head and could not help but laugh.“I liked collecting these a few years ago, but I’ve restrained myself now. Thank you, I really like it!”Selena took the initiative to give her a gift, which showed that she did not mind Nicole’s past with Eric. They just laughed it off.Nicole wore the bracelet on her wrist. It was indeed very beautiful.Selena smiled and was very happy to see that Nicole liked it.“The past is in the past. Let’s forgive each other, okay?”Nicole nodded with sore eyes.“It’s a pity I didn’t prepare
