Back in Stanton Mansion, Nicole was exhausted. She could not find it in herself to be happy at all despite getting this large project.Perhaps it was because she had not been mentally prepared for such an old, tragic story to be brought up.She lay in her bed in the dead of night, mulling over the contents of that photo over and over again.Suddenly, there was a notification on her phone.She picked it up irritably, glanced at it, and frowned.It was from Eric.[Nicole, I’m glad that the person I saved was you.][Not anyone else, but you. Thank God you’re safe and sound.]Nicole blinked and looked at the darkness out the window. Then, she went out to get a glass of milk and finished it slowly before going back upstairs.The past would not come back anyway, so why should she dwell on something that she had already let go of?At that thought, Nicole went to bed and had a good night’s sleep.The news of the cooperation with Clayton Sloan was abuzz after just one night.Major c

Yvette stood not far away watching the little boy with a complicated gaze. This kid looked very cute, but the bouquet of white chrysanthemums in his hands was such an eyesore. Her mood was particularly complex.‘What’s Nicole up to lately? Why is there a kid here with bereavement flowers?’Just as Yvette was deep in thought, Nicole hurriedly came out and waved at Yvette.“Why are you here?”Yvette recollected her expression, but before she could open her mouth, the little boy ran over joyfully and hugged Nicole’s thigh. He tilted his head up at her and blinked his clear and beautiful eyes.“Pretty Lady, I missed you so much…”Yvette stood there dumbfounded.Nicole chuckled and touched Lil Michael’s chubby cheeks with a gentle gaze.“I missed you too…”The little boy handed her the bouquet. “These are your favorite flowers, Pretty Lady!”Nicole took it with a complicated gaze and forced a smile. “Thank you.”Even she was not aware that her favorite flowers became white chry

Nicole and Yvette could not bear to see the huge fish and whales swimming around, so they found a quiet place to sit and drink coffee.This aquarium was indeed quiet. The staff carefully served them from the side, afraid that the coffee they provided would not satisfy the two distinguished ladies.Nicole looked around. “There are no fish here?”That was great!The aquarist at the side paused. “Yes, Ms. Stanton. This is the mantis shrimp exhibit. Since it’s not a rare species, there are usually fewer people visiting this exhibit. Would you like to have a look?”Mantis shrimp?Nicole looked at the aquarist’s expectant gaze and nodded. Obviously, rather than look at them, she wanted to eat them instead.The aquarist turned off the surrounding lights, and the special elements overhead, on the ground, and the walls immediately lit up with blue light. The light was very faint and dim, which created a deep-sea illusion. When Nicole looked closer, she saw plenty of shrimp swimming insid

Nicole and Yvette left the aquarium together with Lil Michael.Eric followed behind them. “Shall we have lunch together? How about some mantis shrimp?”Nicole, Yvette, and Lil Michael looked back at him and said in unison, “No!”Eric smiled. Nicole took the lead and walked to the car first, keeping two paces ahead for fear that Eric would follow after her like a leech.A relatively new car was parked a few dozen meters away, waiting for the right moment.The moment Nicole appeared, the car engine roared as it charged straight at her with a flying speed.Behind her, Yvette let out a startled cry. “Nicole!”The next second, a figure dashed out and pushed Nicole out of the way.The attack happened in a split second. There was a loud collision, followed by a person rolling to the ground.The car crashed straight into a large tree by the side, and smoke started to rise from the hood.The surroundings became dead silent.Lil Michael was frightened. His voice was nervous.“Pretty

In the car.Floyd took out a stack of photos from the side.“I got these from the police. They want to investigate openly, but we’ll also do a private investigation.”Nicole took the photos. When she saw that car, the image of Eric pushing her out of the way flashed in her mind.How did he have the courage to run over when the car was easily charging towards them at 70 miles per hour?Nicole’s pale fingers trembled.Grant sighed. “We owe Eric Ferguson twice now. Lil N, I’m afraid he won’t let you go that easily...”If Eric would give up on Nicole, why would he risk his life for her three to four times?They could turn a blind eye if it only happened once, but it was increasingly hard to ignore.Floyd closed his eyes. “He still can’t expect Lil N to devote herself to him just because of this. Although I’ve begun to admire that boy, Lil N’s wishes still come first.”Nicole pursed her lips. Her heart stalled as she lowered her eyes silently.The next photo was of the person ins
