Nicole was looking at some materials on the road when Julie called.“Baby, I just realized that I’m so blind!”Julie sounded like she was furious.Grant, who was sitting on the side, turned his head sideways and raised his eyebrows.Nicole asked in surprise, “What’s wrong?”“I invested in a film that Kirsi is starring in. Samuel just withdrew his investment probably because he’s trying to avoid her. As a result, he gave this opportunity to another bigshot who now wants to change the female lead!”Julie’s voice echoed in the car.Nicole thought about it for a few seconds. “Isn’t that normal?”Investors would certainly want to promote their own actress.Julie let out a light laugh.“When I was drinking with Lumi at the bar just now, we just happened to run into Samuel. I also bumped into Kirsi when I went to the bathroom. She was trying to get Samuel to help her. Damn! That scene was really an eyesore! That arrogant and aloof goddess on-screen who pitifully told us about her di

Eric shifted his gaze away and turned to look at Grant. His tone was deep.“Mr. Stanton, there’s no hurry about the cooperation. Please consider it well as it brings only benefits and no harm to you. The establishment of the lab is not only about the success or failure of a certain project, but also about the final ownership of the technology. I believe that if one day, someone wants to sanction a certain company or even product, not having to be at their mercy is the greatest strength.”Eric left with Mitchell after saying that.Nicole and Grant glanced at each other. Grant took a deep gaze in the direction they left and frowned in thought.Nicole said, “Grant, if you think this is a good deal, there’s no need to refuse. We can just treat it as a normal cooperation. We didn’t completely cut off our business with Ferguson Corporation, so there’s no need to go our separate ways on such matters.”After all, Nicole would not be the person in charge of this project, so she would not s

The Lindstrom Residence was a European villa with a private garden and courtyard. It was very grand.Samuel knelt on the ground listlessly. In just a few days, he looked like a whole new person.He no longer looked noble or distinguished.His parents were furious as they sat on the sofa. Mr. Lindstrom cursed at Samuel.“You’re such an *sshole! The Makinen family was willing to negotiate, but you went and did something like this! When Julian threw those photos at me, I felt so ashamed of you! It’s fine if you wanna fool around with women in private, but how could you let Lumi see you do this in a public bathroom?! Are you doing this on purpose?! Is this what you mean by you don’t want to get a divorce? How could your mom and I face them now?!”Mr. Lindstrom was out of breath from cursing. He held his chest and felt exhausted.When he saw those photos, his blood pressure rose instantly.Although the woman’s face was censored, her naked body was clearly visible.He could not even

The reason why Lumi hated Samuel so much was not because he had betrayed her.Simply speaking, Samuel cheating on her was not enough to make her get a divorce.The most crucial thing was Kirsi.Her sister was much more important than her husband.Samuel colluded with Lumi’s dearest sister to betray and fool her.No matter how they explained, they would not be able to wash away their sins.Lumi would not believe a word of it anymore.Lumi looked at the dark sky in the distance. There were no street lights, so it looked like a black hole that could swallow everything.“Let’s get a divorce tomorrow and get it done as soon as possible. If you don’t agree with it, I’ll send out your photos and file a divorce lawsuit on the grounds that you had an extramarital affair. Samuel, don’t make this worse than it already is. You’re asking for it.”Lumi’s voice was calm and expressionless.She had the advantage anyway. If she did not know how to play this good hand of cards, then she would

Grant rolled up his shirt sleeves and was grilling the meat. Ian, who was next to him, saw Grant’s serious face and laughed. He joked, “Big Brother, I didn’t know that your hands that can sign contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars can still work the grill.”Grant glanced at Ian silently with an imposing vibe.Many people around saw the liveliness and came over to join the fun.Aida was very friendly as she went around with the fruit platter. The atmosphere was just right.Nicole and Julie held their hats as they ran on the beach.It was rare that they could relax, so they would not gather around a group of strangers to exchange pleasantries.They simply carried their skirts and ran barefoot on the warm sand.Julie also video-called Yvette.Yvette, who was in Cali, seemed to be a changed person. Apart from work, she would have to fight with others. It was so stressful that she almost lost all her hair.“I’m so jealous of you guys! I wanna party when I go back!”Nicol
