Chapter 566 Plastic Surgery Worth $800,000
Kai came in with a black box, looking very cautious.Julie was not in high spirits. She simply greeted Kai and instructed the nanny to make tea, then casually walked to the living room and sat down.She was obviously not as close to Kai as she was with Nicole.Kai did not notice Julie’s mood. He put down the black box in front of her and had a faint smile plastered on his face.“Jules, look. This piece of jade is 99% similar to the quality of your jade pendant. It’s from the same place and has the same pattern. I’ll grind it and make a new one for you, okay? Or… Do you want a different shape?”Nicole held the cup of tea and took a small sip. ‘Was Kai kicked in the head by a donkey? Is the jade even the issue here? No matter how good the quality of the jade is, it can’t alleviate Julie’s sadness. This dumb*ss!’Julie glanced at the jade in the box. It was not the best quality, but it was indeed similar to the jade that was broken.It certainly took a lot of effort and money to fi
Chapter 567 The First Day of Missing You
Xander gulped. A trace of panic and fear crossed his eyes.“N-No… Mr. Ferguson, you’ve misunderstood.”At this moment, Eric towered over Xander and looked down on him.It showed the real gap between them.Eric was so superior to Xander. It was not something that could be substituted with a face. In front of Eric, Xander was as lowly as an ant.Xander’s foolish little thoughts were simply crushed to the ground.How was Xander qualified to be Eric’s substitute?“Misunderstood?”Eric sneered. He threw a few pieces of paper on Xander’s face. His voice was devilish as he said, “You spent more than $800,000 on plastic surgery just to imitate my face? I can very well disclose these hospital records to the media.”Xander’s face turned pale as he looked at Eric in horror.“Mr. Ferguson, please don’t…”This was Xander’s biggest secret. He did not want others to know about his plastic surgery and thought that he hid it very well.Back when a car accident disfigured his face, the plast
Chapter 568 You’re Not Worthy
Stanton Mansion.Nicole was drinking a cup of tea as she scrolled through her phone. When she saw Eric’s message, she could not hold back and spat out her tea.‘Is this son of a b*tch trying to make a fool of himself again?’Kai saw this and lectured her while he was busy fixing the jade pendant.“Where are your manners of a high-society lady?”Before Nicole could retort, Floyd, who was sitting opposite them, frowned and said, “Be careful. Don’t choke.”Kai was speechless and felt that he was making a fool of himself again.Nicole laughed and immediately turned off her phone, not wanting to see another message that simply insulted her eyes.She looked at Kai and rolled her eyes. He was concentrating on fixing Julie’s broken jade pendant.“Can you fix it?”Kai looked at a tutorial while he bowed his head in concentration.“No problem. I’m already a pro at this.”Floyd snorted coldly. “This wastrel broke several pieces of jade in my study and fixed them back again. Is it beca
Chapter 569 A Man Without Manners
Nicole suddenly thought of something and called Molly Stewart.“Nikki?” Molly seemed to be very happy. There were other voices around her.Nicole chuckled. “Molly, are you at the office?”“No, I’m in the Great God Maverick’s research lab. I’m on vacation, so he invited me to visit his lab. It’s amazing!”“You’re on vacation?” Nicole’s face changed.“Yeah! Mr. Lichman gave us half a month off. I was quite puzzled because that project is only halfway through. We also didn’t get any breakthrough with the core technology…”Usually, there were strict rules in place for researchers to go on vacation amidst such an important project. They would usually rotate shifts or get monetary subsidies.‘Half a month’s vacation?’ Nicole’s face changed dramatically.She pursed her lips and took a deep breath.“Molly, I’ll find Gerard and ask him the reason. Talk later!”Nicole hung up the phone.Tucker’s face also became glum. Gerard Lichman gave the researchers a long holiday, yet he did not
Chapter 570 Don’t Betray Me
The atmosphere in the office became heavy all of a sudden.Gerard Lichman looked at Nicole and saw that she did not seem to be joking. He suddenly felt that he had gone too far.This would not just drag down Clayton Sloan but also his main partner, Stanton Corporation.Nicole would not be unmoved if it involved the interests of her company.However, if Gerard betrayed Eric, it would not just impact their personal relationship. It might even end their three-way cooperation.During Gerard’s moment of hesitation, Nicole narrowed her eyes and seemingly realized something.“Who is it?”Gerard’s thin lips were tightly pursed, and his face looked taut.“No one... This was my poorly thought-out decision… I’ll have everyone cancel their leave and come back immediately.”“Mr. Lichman, I’m afraid this matter won’t be so simple.”Nicole looked at him with a solemn gaze. “I’ll have my legal team draw up a contract that will put a limit to the research period. I will also send a team to re
Chapter 571 This Disgusting Name
Gerard Lichman looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window speechlessly. His chest felt stuffy, and he felt so aggrieved!He had no choice but to take the blame for Eric’s orders.......Nicole received a call from Eric when she was on the way back to the office.She wanted to hang up the call, but on second thought, she picked it up.“Mr. Ferguson, what’s the matter?”Eric’s voice was mellow and light. He was obviously in an uncontainable good mood.Even if their fling was not made public, their relationship was still more than ordinary friends, so sooner or later, they would get back together.“I just found out about what Gerard Lichman did. He’s too much. As a director of J&L Corporation, I didn’t even know anything about it. I’ve already issued a stern warning, so don’t worry. It won’t delay the progress of the project.”Nicole was silent for several seconds before she snorted.“So, do you take me for a fool?”Gerard Lichman would not have the guts to dela
Chapter 572 The One Who Got Beaten
The elevator went straight to the top floor. Nicole went back to her office.Logan came over to report on work. When he saw Nicole’s red face, he asked with concern, “President, do you have a fever? Should I get a doctor to come over?”Nicole’s face stiffened slightly. Her voice was cool and calm. “No need.”Soon, she concentrated on reading the document and signed her name. She looked at Logan and said, “Urge the legal department to complete the ownership agreement with J&L Corporation as soon as possible. Don’t agree to anything they request.”Logan was a bit surprised. This was the first time that she had cut off room for discussion so decisively.“Understood.”He did not ask more questions and went to the legal department to convey Nicole’s message.This time, J&L Corporation was at fault, so they dared not reject Nicole’s terms.Within a few days, Dominic Young called and said that Xander resigned from the film.“It looked like he was beaten up by someone. He’s been very
Chapter 573 What a Coincidence, Baby
Clayton immediately changed the topic.The two of them talked for a while. Nicole also asked about Lil Michael’s recent situation.After hearing that Nicole had sent him a whole box of test papers, Lil Michael was so angry that he cried the whole night. Clayton could not even coax him to sleep.Gradually, the atmosphere between them felt relaxed.While they were laughing, a waiter’s welcome greeting sounded a bit abrupt.A few seconds later, a cold gaze stared at the two people from the window.Nicole only felt a chill from behind. Before she could react, a cold, hard arm suddenly landed on her shoulders and wrapped around her waist without allowing her to resist as the man sat next to her.She was slightly stunned. Eric had a smile on his face, but his dark eyes stared at her intently. He gritted his teeth as he said, “What a coincidence, baby…”That nickname made the temperature around them plunge to freezing point in an instant.Nicole looked at him coldly. “Let go.”“Nico
