As soon as the words were spoken, the hall was plunged into pin-drop silence.The next second, a thunderous commotion instantly erupted!The barrage on the internet was even more intense.[Holy sh*t! What kind of reversal is this?][I thought I was going to be lovelorn! President Nicole, marry me!][Aaaaaaaahhhh!!! Nicole has three godly brothers! Why don’t I have any?!][I thought that there wouldn’t be a bigger secret after it was revealed that Kai was a Stanton. How did the Stantons churn out so many elites in the various industries?][The Great God Maverick was actually from a rich and influential family? No one knew from how low-key his background was!][He could’ve just relied on his family, but he decided to make a mark on his own instead.][Our Fabian still has a chance! President Nicole, please remember to think of him…]......Inside the venue, everyone’s voices covered the original purpose of the meeting, and the conference was extended for more than half an hour.

Noah’s body stiffened fiercely as his expression became ugly.“Y-You knew about that?”He thought that he had done it stealthily enough.He especially picked small shareholders who joined Stanton Corporation afterward to acquire their shares, but he was unexpectedly still found out.Nicole smiled.“My father single-handedly established Stanton Corporation. It’s not something passed down from our predecessors. Logically speaking, you have no share of this pie. My father hasn’t exposed you only out of his brotherly love for you, but if this goes on, you’ll lose even that affection…”Noah was completely at a loss for words. His eyes flashed with a trace of remorse and regret.At that moment, he had lost the anger he had when he came here.Now, he was like a frozen statue, absent-minded.Nicole put the printed photos in Noah’s hand. “Uncle Noah, you don’t want our money to fall into the hands of those two women, right?”Noah turned his head and left without saying a word.Nicole

In Ferguson Corporation.It was already close to dusk when Eric came out of the conference room.The setting sun hung at an angle on the branches of the treetops outside the office, the same as countless ordinary evenings.He still had forty minutes before his flight. He had not forgotten that Nicole was waiting for him in Riopolis.Eric casually loosened his tie and was just about to ask Mitchell to bring all the signed documents when he saw the man suddenly running in from outside in a flurry.His face was pale and panicked.Mitchell had been an assistant to Eric for many years, but he had always been calm and dignified, and never lost his composure like this.“P-President…”Eric frowned. His expression sank slightly as he waited for Mitchell to continue.“An hour ago, I got the news that Ms. Stanton’s plane crashed. After searching and verification, it was confirmed that… There were no survivors...”Mitchell’s voice grew lower and lower, and his lips barely moved when he s

Nearly a thousand nautical miles away from the search area, there was a deserted island besieged by large waves.Dense green leaves covered the sky. Besides the jungle, there were only huge waves and a cold and salty sea breeze.Nicole wandered around this hellhole for three days but had not found any trace of freshwater or food. She had not had a drop of water or eaten anything during this time.Her lips were extremely dried and cracked.Tigger’s scarf became her shawl as it shrank in her coat pocket, dispirited.Fortunately, Nicole reacted faster than others. Just before the plane exploded, she opened the emergency exit and jumped down with a parachute without hesitation.One second in the air was a deviation of several hundred nautical miles. That was how Nicole survived.In the aftermath, Nicole grieved for the other passengers who were not as fortunate as her.However, it did not take long for Nicole to have doubts about whether she could even survive on this island.Her

Eric’s thin lips parted, but he did not know what to say.Kai tilted his head back and took a large swig of alcohol again. He spoke without care.“When Nicole was studying in Europe, my father hired eight nannies to take care of her, but she secretly dismissed them. Grant wanted to make thirty trips per month just to cook for her, and Maverick sent her all the bonuses he got from his research. As for me, I only shot films set in Europe at that time… Hah! Even then, we thought that it was the furthest away from us she’d ever been. But then... She got married to you. For three years, she didn’t contact us and completely cut off all her social circles. Eric Ferguson, she valued you more than her family, but what did you do?”Kai’s voice staggered as his tears fell uncontrollably. He casually wiped the droplets away and tilted his head to chug the bottle dry.Mitchell and the pilot sat in the front, not daring to move in this situation.The silence in the air was filled with despair.
