Nicole thought, ‘What kind of stupid show is this? Is their purpose to torture us?!’Miles picked up the diving equipment on the speedboat and put them on.Nicole was stunned. Miles looked at her and pondered for a moment.“Ms. Stanton, did you want to dive by yourself?”‘There’s no escape…’ Nicole smiled awkwardly. “I don’t know how to swim…”Miles was silent for a full ten seconds before he digested this fact.Nathaniel, a professional explorer, had praised Nicole like she was a god, but it turned out that she did not know how to swim?Nicole sat there blinking innocently. She also felt ashamed.Miles paused in his actions. “Then... Just wait for me up here.”Nicole nodded solemnly.Miles put on the wetsuit and dived into the sea so elegantly that he barely made a splash. He truly lived up to his god-like explorer status.After three to four minutes, there was no movement. The sea was calm and unusually eerie.Nicole began to feel anxious and apprehensive. ‘Nothing will h
Eric Ferguson frowned at Nicole. He had a strange and cold look as he did not believe that she would have good intentions.Nicole’s heart sank because he did not recognize her. He did not recognize her as the person who almost drowned, nor did he recognize her as the person he had saved twice.Suddenly, she looked Eric in the eyes and said solemnly, “But you must marry me.”......Nicole shuddered. She came back to her senses in an instant. She stared at the dark seawater and felt that cold, suffocating feeling engulfing her, making it hard to breathe.Those memories seemed too painful. Nicole did not know whether it was the seawater, or something else. She gasped for air, and her face was pale and miserable.The sea was very calm, even the waves were gone.Nicole was really anxious. She looked around and saw that the nearest sailboat was dozens of meters away. She did not know whether they would be able to come in time.She ran to the side of the speedboat and shouted towards
In a flash, Nicole suddenly felt her body being pulled back. She lost all control and her face instantly turned pale. Before she could react, her body was hanging at least 60 meters above sea level.Nicole screamed at the top of her lungs. Her voice quickly diffused into the salty sea breeze. Her heart felt like it would jump out of her body.They were going extremely fast. The parasail rope was in tension as it held Nicole and Miles high up in the air. They skated through the cold sea wind following the speed of the boat. The wind scraped their faces, which felt painful, but also... Amazing! Nicole had never felt like this. At this moment, she felt like life was so small and fragile, but also incomparably strong and vigorous.Challenging one’s limits turned out to be really addictive!Miles stabilized himself and went over to pull Nicole’s shoulders to fix her position and direction.Nicole panted heavily. The amazement in her eyes was overflowing.“This is so awesome!”Miles
The netizens watching the live stream were very sharp-eyed to spot this and exploded into a clamor. [Mikayla’s injury is fake!][Mikayla faked her injury! When she was with Nicole, it was the right foot, with Fabian, it was the left foot, then with Nathaniel, it changed back to the right foot again! Was it because she was too tired of limping? Hahaha…][Did Mikayla get the role of the sad little b*tch? She really knows how to dramatize everything!][This is an adventure program. Mikayla didn’t participate at all and even slowed the others down. I finally understand why Nicole wanted to change her teammate so badly after the first game...][I apologize for thinking that Nicole had a bad temper towards that fake b*tch earlier!]......After the program was over, it was already dark outside when Nicole got home.Demi and the driver sent Nicole back to the Stanton Mansion. Nicole was grimy and sleeping soundly in the car when they arrived. Kai could not bear to wake her up, so he
Nathaniel let out a light laugh.“Miles was just dumped by his girlfriend who even made him bankrupt. That girl even cheated on him with a rich businessman, so he only said that she died because he’s still angry about it.”Nicole was speechless.‘How ruthless!’Ferguson Corporation.The people inside the meeting room trembled as they listened to the reports from the department heads. They were all afraid that President Ferguson would be dissatisfied and make an example out of them.The air in the room was cold and heavy. It was the Investment Department’s turn, so the head of the department, Henry Yates, presented their progress.Henry Yates had just been promoted and had not achieved anything particularly outstanding thus far. Thus, if he wanted to sit firmly in this position, he needed to be valued by President Ferguson.He coughed and felt inexplicably excited with his proposal, so he spoke with confidence.“President, our Investment Department has recently been studying
Mitchell followed Eric to the President’s Office. His scalp felt numb from Eric’s icy gaze.“President...”“This is the result of your arrangements?”Eric’s voice was magnetic and condensed without the slightest warmth.Mitchell sheepishly explained.“President, for Young Master Nathaniel’s variety show, not only has the Stanton family shown support, but even Old Master Ferguson gave notice to the relevant media, so…”Eric’s gaze was dark and deep.“Since that’s the case, then Ferguson Corporation has to be the sole investor, understand?”Mitchell immediately responded, “Understood, this can definitely be done.”“Since I’m investing in this show, I want to pay them a visit and experience it for myself.”Eric spoke in a cool and calm tone as he picked up the coffee on the side and took a sip.Mitchell nodded, then looked up again in shock.He took the fastest time to digest this fact.“Yes, of course. You will appear as a mysterious guest. I believe that will definitely bri
Quinn was chided by Old Master Ferguson, so she froze in place.Her status in the family was low, to begin with. Since that incident where she helped Ingrid to steal Old Master Ferguson’s emerald pipe, Quinn had been living in constant fear of getting kicked out of the family.Quinn did not know where Ingrid was sent to, so now, she did not even have a person to talk to.When she was scolded by Old Master Ferguson, Eric just stood by and watched without saying a word. His cold eyes made her feel more uncomfortable.Thus, her hatred for Nicole only deepened.Eric paused and instructed Mitchell, who was standing on the side.“Send Madam back to the villa. There’s no need for her to attend the dinner this evening.”Quinn completely froze in place.Old Master Ferguson also nodded. “That’s good too. We can’t lose this chance to make up with the Stanton family.”They did not ask about Quinn’s opinion at all.Quinn was exasperated by Eric’s attitude. When she left, her face was very
Old Master Ferguson smiled. “We feel bad about how we treated Nicole in the past. If there’s an opportunity, we’ll like to make it up to her.”Floyd waved his hand. “It’s alright, they’re just clueless kids. The past is in the past, and Nicole doesn’t care about it anymore, so we don’t need to take it to heart. Just get along normally.”“Clueless…” Eric repeated in a whisper. His dark eyes flickered slightly, then he curled the corners of his lips. “Yes, we should get along normally.”Eric raised his eyes to look at Nicole and gave her a suggestive smile.Noticing the scorching gaze from across the room, Nicole subconsciously looked up and saw that Eric had been staring at her with smiling, gentle eyes.‘What’s he smiling at?’Nicole choked a little and instantly lost her appetite.She put down the cutlery in her hand and rolled her eyes at him.Somehow, the man opposite her did not get angry. Instead, his smile deepened.Eric saw how vexed and restrained Nicole was and sudden
