Yvette pinched Nicole indignantly. Nicole shrunk in pain and begged for mercy.Yvette said, “As my best friend, you should stand on my side unconditionally!”Nicole was forced to nod.It was just that her best friend was too senseless!Then, Nicole was a little puzzled. “Isn’t he your client? Has the contract been signed?”Yvette nodded naturally.“A contract? In my bed, his life and family possessions belong to me. Don’t bring up the contract. If I had known that my honey trap would work, I wouldn’t have bothered to go through all that effort.”Nicole looked at Yvette in admiration.Yvette’s mentality of sleeping with others to take advantage of them was something that ordinary people could not understand.However, Nicole completely admired Yvette’s charm.Since they were young, there was an endless stream of men surrounding Yvette. They never stopped coming.The people around Nicole were driven away by her several brothers, so Nicole did not have a chance to experience suc
Eric’s dark eyes were sunken and cold, and there was a faintly suppressed indifference jumping inside.“Forget about it? It took me so much effort for Nicole to improve her attitude toward me, but that woman stirred up some sh*t and made me lose everything! You want me to forget about it?!”Eric could not suppress his emotions, so even his words had become impolite.‘What a nosy smart*ss! She’s completely useless! This was the candidate recommended as the President of Cyndro International’s Asian region?’ Eric sneered. His eyes were cold and shady as he looked at Asher.“What benefits did she give you for you to speak up for her so much? A brainless woman like that still wants to take charge of the Asian region? I didn’t let you sit in the position of Vice President of Cyndro International just to allow you to put your lover in a key position!”At those words, the office instantly fell silent.Asher’s face changed.No one knew about Asher’s relationship with Ava.Externally, th
Ava’s face went a little pale.Mitchell had seen his fair share of people and things while working under Eric, so what he said was completely unadulterated.‘Did I just ruin my own future?’ Ava’s face was pale as she turned around and left in a trance.Mitchell called the bodyguards downstairs.“Keep an eye on that woman and don’t let anything happen to her near Ferguson Corporation. There’s no need to worry about her after she leaves our office perimeter.”As a qualified assistant, Mitchell had to be well prepared for what would or would not happen.All the loose ends had to be tied up beautifully.Mitchell thought, ‘Mr. Ferguson was really miserable. He offended the Ferguson family for Nicole’s sake, but in the end, he lost Nicole as well.’Nicole, who was no longer interested in Eric, was much stronger than they thought.As soon as Ava went downstairs, she saw her rival, Nash Jones, coming over in high spirits.When Nash saw her, he even raised his hand in greeting, as ent
The car was silent, and the sound of rain outside was too clear.Lord, save them!Nicole looked at the curtain of rain outside in despair. ‘Why did I follow them? Was there a more desperate moment than this one?’Julie rolled her eyes and pointed her bright red nails at Ian. “If I weren’t an elegant goddess, I’d have killed you and dumped your body!”Yvette nodded. “That’s right!”Ian’s mouth twitched as he looked at Nicole. “You treat me the best.”Nicole looked up. “I’ll bring flowers to your grave.”As time passed, the temperature in the car gradually decreased.No one’s phone was working because there was no network or signal, so they could only wait for people to pass by or take the initiative to find them.It rained cats and dogs, and by the time it stopped, it was already dark.Everyone’s mood was particularly complicated. Yvette lost steam after scolding Ian, and Julie leaned against the car window listlessly.Ian held his phone outside to try and get a signal…Nico
Everyone was too frightened to figure out if it was real or fake. This was not the time to joke.They opened the car door and ran out.Fortunately, for convenience, Nicole and Julie wore flats.However, Yvette was always the most concerned about her image. Even if she was stepping in mud, she had to step on it in high heels.It was not very convenient when she ran.Ian tried to pull Nicole, but Nicole looked at Julie, whose legs had gone numb.Julie’s face was as white as paper.“Ian, you take Julie, and I’ll take Yvette. Don’t waste energy. Hurry up and run!”“Nicole, you have to keep up!”Julie gritted her teeth and ran ahead with Ian.Based on what they learned in school, they should run perpendicular to the direction of the mudslide at this time.However, it was dark all around without a single trace of light.The faint light emitted by their phones in their hands was of no use at all.Since they could not make any judgments, they could only run in the opposite directi
Daylight cut through the darkness, and the sun penetrated the clouds.Nicole’s eyes were stung by the lights, but her mind was still in the pitch-black night. She was trapped in the stormy weather where, behind them was a mudslide that could swallow them at any time, and ahead of them was a road that stretched endlessly.She kept running with no end in sight. Her body became tense.However, in the next second, the road ahead turned into an abyss.When she stepped on the road, her foot landed in thin air and her body felt weightless. She suddenly woke up.Cold sweat dripped down her forehead.Nicole opened her sluggish eyes for several seconds before slowly coming to her senses.Everything around her was unfamiliar.Her head was dizzy and painful. She reached out to touch it and felt that it was wrapped in gauze.Not far away was the movement of a lighter flickering.Nicole looked over and saw a tall and familiar silhouette. It looked a little like Clayton.She blinked. ‘Is t
Julie said, “There was indeed a mudslide, but we were lucky. The direction of the mudslide wasn’t in the direction we ran, so we managed to escape.”‘No wonder! We’re really lucky!’ Nicole thought.“But it was a close call. If Clayton hadn’t arrived in time to save us, we wouldn’t have been able to escape if the mudslide spread too widely.”Yvette nodded. “I always thought that Clayton was treacherous and sly underneath his aloof front. It looks like I was wrong about him. I was scared to death when you fell unconscious. Fortunately, he arrived. Clayton knew the weather was bad but still came to find you because he was afraid that you’d encounter a mudslide. To be honest, I haven’t been moved by a man for a long time.”Julie poked her head with a finger.“Is this the time to make heart-eyes at someone?”Yvette rubbed her head sheepishly and sat down beside Nicole.“Anyway, the man appeared in that life-or-death situation. I feel like he’s completely flawless!”Nicole’s chest tr
The room fell into silence.Right, they almost died.After an unknown amount of time, the person outside knocked on the door again and came in.Clayton regained his gentle and graceful look. “May I come in?”Nicole smiled and nodded.Yvette tactfully gave up her seat and even winked at Nicole.All this was seen by Clayton.It was clear that his eyes were overflowing with joy.Nicole looked away and held her forehead.She really wanted to pretend that she did not know Yvette.Julie was also exasperated. What kind of person was this?Ian coughed. “It’s almost time. I’ll go out for a walk and tell the others that I’m safe!”Julie also followed.Yvette wanted to stay, but she did not want to be the third wheel, so she followed them out after some hesitation.Clayton stood to the side, holding two eggs in his hand. His bony fingers hesitated for a moment before he gently knocked them on the corner of the bedside table.His movements were gentle, beautiful, and artistic.A pa
