There was dead silence all around.Nicole did not care if Eric’s compliment was sincere.Did she need him to tell her that she was beautiful?However, for a split second, Eric’s words did cause Nicole’s heart to tremble slightly.Her stance was still unstable. She was stunned for a moment and almost got sucked into Eric’s sweet talk.Fortunately, she reacted in time. ‘This son of a b*tch can’t seduce me! I won’t fall for it!’Countless celebrity bigwigs could not help but secretly give Nicole a thumbs up when they heard her reply.This was a classic snide remark from President Nicole. A standard “thank you” could have answered this, but Nicole’s answer was the best.The next moment, the music started, and the awards ceremony began.Nicole was arranged to present an award to Fabian. Thus, as soon as the nominations for the “Most Promising Newcomer” award were announced, Nicole prepared to go onstage.There were usually two “Most Promising Newcomer” awards, one of which was F

Nicole had planned to go on a ski trip with Yvette and Julie, but she was pestered by Nathaniel several times. He wanted her to participate in some adventure variety show that he was producing and participating in.Nicole was not interested in it because she was enjoying her best life, so why make things difficult for herself?She was also never one to willingly put herself in challenging situations!However, Nathaniel came hounding at the Stanton Mansion’s door time and time again, so regularly that he was pretty much living at their house. Floyd and Kai were annoyed at Nathaniel’s persistence, so they urged Nicole to just participate in the show.Kai even lent his personal crew to Nicole, including his assistant, make-up artist, and driver, so Nicole did not have to worry about anything.At this moment, Nicole was leaning back in a rocking chair with an umbrella overhead shading her from the hot sun. Nicole closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm breeze and nice weather.The make-

The grass and trees in the forest were wild and tall, with huge canopies of leaves shading the sky. Occasionally, some sunlight sprinkled through the leaves. It was vibrant and soothing.The path was very rugged, so it took a lot of effort to walk through.They had to reach the scheduled checkpoint before dark, where they would be given some supplies. Otherwise, they would have to sleep on the rocks.Thus, Nicole was not in the mood to play along with Mikayla at this time.However, Mikayla was still relentlessly trying to add frills to the situation.“Ms. Nicole, I just thought that you and Nathaniel have gone through so many hardships together, so you must have some feelings for each other. I don’t mean anything else…”Mikayla’s cautious look was annoying Nicole.Nicole stopped a dozen meters away on the path that was covered up by trees and looked back at Mikayla.Mikayla did not expect Nicole to suddenly stop, so she subconsciously stumbled a step back and stood firm.She w

Nicole looked a little surprised. Mikayla just looked very disappointed and wanted to blame Nicole for choosing the wrong path. However, due to Nicole’s identity and the viewers’ high opinion of Nicole, Mikayla chose to shut up. Instead, Mikayla comforted Nicole.“Since it’s a dead-end, we’d better turn back.”If it were not for Nicole’s insistence, they would not have come here, and Mikayla would not have twisted her ankle.Nicole frowned and studied the map. It did not feel right because there was only one path in this direction, which led to the cave.How could this be a dead-end?“If the map is right, then the exit must be in this cave.”Nicole said as she walked to the wall in front. She looked around and intended to move the rock.However, the boulder would not budge no matter how hard she tried.Nicole frowned tightly and looked around for clues. When she looked up, she noticed that the top was a dark and damp rock with a lot of moss growing on it.She swept her flashli

Nicole looked around and was secretly amazed that her mountain path earlier was right next to the sea, which was not even marked out on her map.It seemed like two worlds altogether.The rolling waves of the sea lapped on the shore. Nicole reached out to take Miles’ hand and got into the boat. She was still a bit traumatized by the sea.When she was on the island, she looked out into the sea every day and felt so hopeless. Those were the dark memories that she did not want to recall because she almost died there.Nicole looked at the map and was confused. This map of the sea was simply puzzling.Miles laughed heartily at the side, looking so devilishly charming.“Ms. Stanton, you don’t need to look at it. A layman won’t understand it.”Nicole put it away and looked up at him. “Then do you know the direction?”Miles raised his eyebrows. “Of course, but we’re not at the right place now. You’d better sit tight…”After he said that, the speedboat sped away. Nicole was almost throw
