Miles walked down the stairs impatiently and looked at Nicole apologetically.“Ms. Stanton, leave this to me. Go on in. Don’t let your guests see this joke of a person.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. ‘Right, I don’t want to deal with her anyway…’She smiled lightly. “Okay, then I’ll leave this to you.”Melanie looked at the tacit understanding and familiarity between those two who did not care about her and felt so vexed that she unconsciously clenched her fists.Miles walked over in large strides. He had an imposing and cold vibe as he grabbed Melanie’s arm and dragged her towards the deck.He pushed Melanie’s waist against the railing. Below them was the deep dark sea.There were no strong waves, but the water still threatened to devour one’s life. The cold wind blew past them.Melanie suddenly felt frightened.She clutched the railing with a deadly grip as her voice trembled.“Miles, w-what are you trying to do?!”Miles was shrouded in gloom and a piercing chill.He kept p

The air instantly plunged to freezing point.Floyd Stanton, who was fumbling around his pockets for his wallet, froze instantly.He glanced at Clayton Sloan’s face, which was glum and sunken. Clayton’s eyes were dark as he tried to suppress a penetrating chill.Clayton’s eyelids twitched. His usually stoic face started to crumble.“Daddy, I want to inherit your estate right away...”Lil Michael twisted his body petulantly and whined. He was so cute that Clayton could not bear to smack this child.Clayton thought to himself, ‘This is my child... Bear with it…’He looked at Lil Michael, took a deep breath, and said in a tone that was as soft as possible.“Right away...?” Clayton said in a hushed voice.Lil Michael nodded solemnly, “I can only be with my pretty lady after I inherit your estate!”Thus, Lil Michael thought, the sooner the better!For the sake of his pretty lady, he did not even want his father.Clayton’s gloomy eyes were fixed on his son’s tender little face. He

Nicole finished her phone call, opened her laptop, and checked her emails.There were so many documents to deal with every day. Logan would filter out the important ones for her in the mailbox and deal with the rest on her behalf.Nicole sent Logan a message reminding him of a few things that were more urgent, including J&L Corporation’s project. She was not confident that Tucker would be able to handle everything.While Nicole was busy with work, Tigger jumped into her lap. It held up its head with its front little paws, looking extremely adorable.“Mama, I miss Papa…”Nicole, who was about to hug Tigger, froze and glared at it instead.“Why do you even miss him?!”Tigger twitched its whiskers.“It’s my emotional interaction setting that Molly Stewart designed. I need to think of Mama and Papa ten times a day in order to cultivate deep feelings...”Nicole laughed lightly. ‘Even feelings can be controlled with AI, huh?’She stroked its little head. “Then why don’t you think o

Nicole looked at Clayton’s hand with understanding and put on her seatbelt. She smiled and asked, “Mr. Sloan, is it okay for you to take so much time off?”Clayton said indifferently, “Yeah. My project partner isn’t even around, so should I stay to talk to Gerard and Tucker? I’ve announced a short break for that project and for them to get the core research done first. When we get back, it’ll be just in time to see what they come up with.”Nicole heard this and blushed with a little guilt. She felt like she was not doing her job well.Clayton paused for a moment. “Of course, Lil Michael really wants to come. He hasn’t forgiven me for reprimanding him last night, so I ought to tag along.”Speaking of Lil Michael, Nicole chuckled. “So that’s what it is, huh? Mr. Sloan, you’re a really good father to Lil Michael. He must love you very much.”What a loving father and son relationship!Clayton smiled and did not respond. He thought to himself, ‘Love me?! My son just wants to inherit

Eric finally got his wish for Nicole to push him around the banks of the Seine.Nicole was purely enjoying the scenery and did not really want to listen to Toto’s annoying chatter.After getting rid of the others, Eric’s expression eased significantly.In front of them, a fit, tattooed man was busking with a violin. He was very immersed in the music and had a crowd gathered around him.If the sound of the violin was elegant and delicate, accompanied by the soft flow of the river, this scene would be very impressive.However, the busker was an amateur violin player. It sounded like an old woman wailing and was very harsh to the ears.Nicole unknowingly walked over and stopped. Eric listened for a while without an expression.When the song ended, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief and finally dispersed.The busker saw the wheelchair-bound man and the beautiful lady pushing the wheelchair and looked at her with regret and sympathy.He looked like it was a loss for Nicole to be w
