“Why should I believe you?” Nicole asked.Nicole sat there and looked elegant, generous, and unmoved.If there was danger, Yuliana should find the police. Why did Yuliana find a woman like Nicole instead?Yuliana was trembling with anxiety.She found a photo on her phone. It was a photo of Yuliana and a baby. Yuliana looked like she was only in her early twenties at the time.“She’s really my daughter. She’s only six years old. Andrew Zeno has a habit of abusing children. He’ll kill her if he takes her away!”Even if Nicole was slow to react, she could hear that something was wrong.“The child is yours and Andrew Zeno’s?”Yuliana paused for a moment and nodded. She said through clenched teeth, “When I first started in showbiz, he supported me. After he got tired of me, we separated. I hid the child from him because he really abused children. He often went to some orphanages to send gifts, but he’s only going to abuse the children!”She showed Nicole a few photos of Andrew smil
In the next second, a strong force tugged on Nicole’s arm and yanked Nicole to the side.Instantly, there was a sound of a vase shattering, and the pieces landed right where Nicole was standing earlier.Nicole then crashed into a clean, warm, and sturdy embrace.It felt somewhat familiar.“Mr. Sloan?”Nicole was surprised at why Clayton would appear here?In the next second, Clayton dragged her behind him. His gaze swept harshly over the woman who chased after Nicole.The woman wanted to chase after Nicole again, but when she saw Clayton, who was behind Nicole, her body froze in place.She also recognized Nicole at that time.The woman’s face turned pale.She did not dare to make another rash move.Andrew Zeno, who heard the commotion, rushed over and was visibly startled.“What’s going on here?”The woman went over with a displeased face.“That b*tch snatched the child away…”Andrew was shocked. “Two people can’t even watch a child? You guys…”He was aware that there w
Nicole was silent and thought about it for a moment.“My company’s lawyer hasn’t arrived yet and will be delayed on the road. Let’s make an appointment some other time.”Since the matter came to this point, signing the contract was not so important anymore.With that, Nicole simply turned around and left.Clayton nodded slightly and followed behind Nicole. He completely avoided the gaze of the couple behind her.Inside the elevator, Nicole’s face sank.“Mr. Sloan, who do you think is lying?”Clayton did not know what Yuliana said, but he saw her running out with the child in her arms earlier.He recognized Yuliana from the celebration party.Clayton narrowed his eyes and hesitated for a few seconds. He said with certainty, “They’re all lying.”Nicole looked at him in surprise. Clayton smiled faintly and swept away the panic and intense feeling that Nicole felt earlier.It was like fine spring rain that made her relax.Nicole also smiled.The elevator arrived at the lobby.
Molly froze and immediately shook her head. “Absolutely not!”Nicole could finally rest assured.She smiled and took a sip of coffee. The few of them changed their clothes and went to the core research lab.Clayton and Logan were very involved in the tour. In fact, they could just look at the data on the report, but the site visit was more impactful.Molly introduced the latest progress in the front.“In fact, our focus is on intelligent living, not only on the scope of smart home devices, but also in the decor and design, like maintaining the temperature and humidity throughout the year, waterproofing, and fire extinguishing. Of course, the most difficult thing to control is the change of human emotions. We have now completed the detection of human emotions, so the indoor space can be converted based on happiness, anger, sadness, or any subtle mood changes. We have applied the latest medical research to this. The artificial intelligence chip will automatically detect human health
In J&L Corporation, Molly Stewart had millions of dollars in annual salary. She also had bonuses and allowances, so she was not interested in money.Molly lowered her eyes and suddenly opened her arms and shouted, “I want to be famous!”Nicole blinked and curbed her smile.“This... Will be a little difficult.”It was also not as practical as making money.After Molly was done daydreaming, she dragged Nicole to her research room and introduced her to the gadgets she invented.It was true that scientists’ brains were different from normal people’s.A regular girl’s way to relax was shopping, eating, and more shopping.However, Molly’s way of relaxation was to do research.Nicole was afraid that Molly’s body would collapse, so she dragged Molly to the nearest gym to sweat it out and relax. They told Clayton about it and ran out.Molly was familiar with skipping work, so she must have frequently gone out of the office during work hours.She scrolled through her phone and said,
Nicole was speechless. Spending tens of thousands to come to the gym just to meditate?Yannick finally reacted and gave an enthusiastic introduction.“This guru is an enlightened monk from the mountains, and his meditation experience is unparalleled in this world. There is no truth in this world that is impenetrable to him! You’re his first student!”Molly was very happy. She finally found a sweat-free sport!Immediately afterward, Yannick had someone send Molly to the “meditation room”.“What would you like to do, Ms. Stanton?”Yannick thought that she would choose light exercise like yoga that would not hurt her and also make her happy.Nicole hesitated for a moment. Since she was already here and the instructors were national-level champions, she should give it a try.“Taekwondo.”Yannick paused and looked at her. “Sure. You can change your clothes inside. I’ll practice with you later.”He gritted his teeth. The instructor for taekwondo was a world champion.If the instru
The coach held back his laughter to carry Yannick down, taking him to the side so he could rest. “The doctor will be here soon.”Then, he returned the phone to Yannick.That video was truly sensational. Nicole gave Yannick a chance by letting him have so many moves, but he still lost!The coach was much more professional. While sparring with her, he also left her plenty of room for improvement.This was what an opponent should be like! This was a real professional.Yannick looked at the two people sparring and gnashed his teeth. His tears almost fell.He did not know that Nicole was so amazing.Yannick took out his phone and recorded a short video. In it, Nicole was cool and valiant. Her movements were like the wind, crisp, bright, and flamboyant. She looked too beautiful!He posted the video onto his social media platform where his old friends were.Soon, the video was forwarded to Eric.Eric stared at it for a while before he called Yannick without much thought.When Yanni
Eric’s expression darkened visibly, and a coldness instantly spread around his body.He turned his head, his black eyes staring at Clayton.Eric looked at Clayton like he was looking at an opponent, alert and full of bloodlust.Clayton also saw Eric. His face froze faintly before he smiled warmly.“What a coincidence. You’re here too, Mr. Ferguson?”They had not seen each other since the last time Eric made some small moves online specifically targeting Clayton.Nicole looked at the aura of these two men and saw that something was off. She wondered why Clayton had suddenly appeared.Molly walked out from the end of the corridor leisurely and waved. “Has Mr. Sloan come to pick you up? He just called to ask me…”Oh, so it was Molly.Yannick did not expect this scene to happen in his gym.‘Did I just shoot myself in the foot?’ Yannick thought.Eric’s eyes were dark and deep, and the aura around him suddenly became chilly.Clayton Sloan was the person he wanted to get rid of.
