Ch. 2621..2630

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2621 -"Who was it from?' ‘The investment was from Noah's account. Just before Noah was arrested by the police, the bank said that Noah transferred the money at the last minute. If not mistaken, this money will be transferred to the Nelson family."

"It looks like Noah didn't plan to hide his identity for long even if we didn't attend Floyd’s birthday banquet."

Selena curled her lips and thought that it was still too late.

It was as if something grazed her heart and made her emotions surge nonstop like the rough waves on the sea.

It felt like an idea was emerging.

"No, he's not that stupid. Eric, I have a feeling that something is wrong. Although my uncle and aunt hate me, there's no need to kill me. What good will it do them to have me dead?"

Selena grasped the most crucial point. "Even if Noah gave them money, they would still end up offending you!"

Eric looked at Selena deeply. He stretched out his hand and pinched her face as a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

“Mrs. Ferguson, have you become smarter?"

Selena frowned. Did Eric already think of this a long time ago?

Eric said seriously, "So, I suspect that Noah was instigated by another person. Noah could have hidden his identity since he had been doing so safely for twenty years. Why did he suddenly show his hand? Someone must have wanted to get rid of Noah."

When Selena heard this, the thoughts in her mind suddenly became clear.

"You mean, someone wanted us to do the dirty work?"

"Right."

Eric smiled.

The doctor came over. "Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, Jennifer has woken up."

Eric nodded, then took Selena's hand and walked out.

Since the last time they found out about Jennifer drugging the nurse, the doctor did not dare to keep Jennifer awake all day.

They would add some sleeping pills to her medicine.

This was the only way Jennifer would behave,

The doctor moved another patient who was staying with Jennifer out in advance before Eric and Selena went in.

Seeing the couple, Jennifer sat up on the bed in an instant. Her eyes were sober and sharp.

"You're finally here! Mr. Ferguson, Selena, you have locked me up long enough. Why don't you let me go? I promise that I won't say a word after I get out. I won’t trouble you again. I'll go as far away as I can and never appear in front of you again..."

Jennifer wanted to shed tears of grievance, but after sobbing for a long time, no tears came out.

Selena knew that Jennifer was just acting.

Anyway, Jennifer was not acting for Selena.

Women did not care about another woman’s tears.

However, a man would be moved by a woman's tears.

Selena raised her eyes to see Eric’s expression.

Eric's face was stern with a chill in his eyes. He looked at Jennifer with impatience and disgust.

"Last time, you deliberately misled us to find trouble with Floyd. Did you want to divert attention from Noah, or did you want the Stanton family and the Ferguson family to turn against each other?"

Eric asked bluntly.

Jennifer was stunned for a moment.

Eric did not want to beat around the bush, nor did he need to.

If Jennifer could not provide any useful information, Eric would not let her go easily.

Jennifer misled them to Floyd, which indeed caused a rift between the Stantons and Fergusons.

If Eric had not been humble and taken the initiative to apologize, the Stantons and the Fergusons would have turned against each other, like fire and ice.

They easily used a single name to destabilize the relationship between Ferguson Corporation and Stanton Corporation.

Upon closer look, it was not difficult to see that Jennifer might have said Floyd's name on purpose.

Jennifer blinked to hide her gaffe.

'What? What did I say? When did I say that? I don't remember... Isn’t Floyd the chairman of Stanton Corporation? How could I have contact with such a bigwig?"

Jennifer truly was a first-rate actor.

Eric snorted coldly, pulled Selena over, and walked out.

Jennifer suddenly panicked.

'Wait a moment..."

"I remember now! It was Noah... Noah is your biological father. He ordered me to kidnap you and gave me a sum of money. There, I told you everything now. Can I leave this place?’

Jennifer looked expectantly at the couple in front of her.

She would have never said this, but at this time, she confessed everything without much effort.

However, it was too late.

Eric's eyes were cold without the slightest ripple. He paused, then turned to look at her.

"I don’t want to know what already happened."

Jennifer's whole body stiffened, and her face became increasingly glum.

Selena watched from the sidelines. She admired Eric’s negotiation skills.

Eric stood there and looked at Jennifer, giving off a very strong sense of oppression.

It felt like he could see through Jennifer's lies.

Jennifer could not stand the pressure and was quickly defeated.

Seeing that Jennifer was silent, Eric turned around and walked out again.

Jennifer was finally afraid.

She shouted in a panic.

"I’ll tell you!"

Her voice trembled slightly.

Hesitation and struggle were written all over her face.

Even if Jennifer was wary, that person was still not as powerful as Eric.

She had already provoked Eric by misleading him before.

Now, Eric already knew the truth and wanted Jennifer to confess.

If Jennifer did not confess, she might be stuck in this psychiatric hospital for the rest of her life!

"Noah gave me the money and asked me to attack Selena. But before he approached, someone came to me first."

Jennifer lowered her eyes. Her expression was somewhat flustered...

Eric and Selena looked at each other, but they did not speak.

One hour later, the couple left hand in hand and got into the car.

Selena could not help but ask, "Are you sure that the person will show themself?'

"If I'm guessing correctly, they should show themself soon. Otherwise,

Noah's sacrifice would be in vain.”

Selena chuckled lightly.

"Noah has also been evil all his life. He never expected to be played by another person."

"You can still laugh?'

Eric looked at her with a half-smile.

He had underestimated Selena's ability to withstand stress.

Selena leaned on his shoulder and sighed. His warm scent made her feel at ease.

"Of course, I can! I have you, anyway."

Stanton Mansion.

Everyone was in a bad mood recently due to Noah's affairs.

Aida did not return to the Stanton Mansion until her face was recovered so as not to make Floyd feel uncomfortable.

Although Floyd did not say it, he was furious and blamed himself because of what Noah did, especially after the police told him the results of the investigation. Noah was involved in both commercial and criminal cases.

Only then did Floyd realize that he did not know anything about his younger brother.

Usually, Floyd only felt that Noah was incapable at work and was easily deceived because Noah could let go of a project if others coaxed him.

Noah also married an aggressive woman and treated his stepdaughter as a treasure. That was why his stepdaughter developed an arrogant and domineering character. In the end, she got into trouble and implicated him

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2622-More importantly, Floyd just planted a seed of doubt in his heart from the diary that Selena showed him.

It was not until he saw the final result of the police investigation that he realized how heinous his brother was.

Noah killed two people just like that and did not feel any remorse.

Floyd called everyone over because he had something to say.

He held a short family meeting and even invited Chatty and Levi to participate.

The family sat in the living room, huddled together.

Floyd looked solemn.

"Children, Noah’s case has been concluded. We have done everything we can. Eric hasn't responded so far, which is the best reaction. At least, our family can stay out of it. Nicole, are your people still following Charles Ferguson?"

Nicole stroked her chin and nodded.

"I was afraid that Eric would do something crazy, so I had to have something on him.”

"Okay. Recall your people. We’re at fault first, so don't make things worse.”

Nicole nodded.

Floyd pursed his lips. "Noah only enjoys the dividends from the shares. I asked him to use it for his old age, but I'm afraid he won't be able to use it now. Although the shares transfer contract he signed with Eric was not legally binding, I don't think Noah should keep the shares anymore. I want to give the dividends to Selena. What do you think?"

Selena was Noah’s biological daughter. From whichever aspect, she was most suited to take over the dividends.

She also deserved it.

Selena was also a Stanton.

This was a fact.

Selena had been wronged, and Floyd wanted to compensate her.

Although they were unaware, no one was as innocent as Selena, who was the victim of this tragedy.

Nicole nodded thoughtfully.

"I don’t have an objection, but I’m afraid Uncle Noah's wife won't agree."

Jade Smith was not a simple woman.

Kai sneered.

"Yeah. I think we should just do this secretly. Just legalize the share transfer contract and give the shares to Selena through Eric."

Grant frowned. He pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "Dad, why hasn't Jade come forward since Uncle Noah's conviction?"

As soon as he said this, the living room fell silent.

No one had much of an opinion about the transfer of Noah's shares to Selena.

Noah did not have any right to participate or make decisions on the board, so those shares were not important.

It was just for sharing of the dividends. Rather than giving the dividends to someone like Jade, it would be better if the money was given to Selena. Mr. Anderson came inside.

"Chairman, Noah's wife is here."

Everyone was slightly surprised.

Speak of the devil.

Jade wasted no time at all.

Kai snorted coldly. "Look, she's here now!"

Floyd looked a little upset.

They asked Noah to divorce Jade back then. It was a pity that they did not manage to get a divorce.

Jade also settled down for a while.

Nicole frowned speechlessly.

"Ask her to leave. Didn't she create enough trouble back then? Who does she think she is?"

Kai followed suit and nodded. 'That's right! It's Uncle Noah's business whether to divorce Jade, but it's our business whether we want to recognize her as our relative."

Mr. Anderson was still standing there waiting for a reply.

Floyd paused and waved his hand.

"Forget it. Let her in first. Let's see what she wants.”

The butler nodded.

Jade hurried in soon after.

She was decked out in branded apparel and had a full face of makeup.

It seemed that Noah treated her well.

After so many years, Jade still lived lavishly.

How could such a crazy person like Noah stick to Jade for more than 20 years?

"Big Brother... You're all here!"

Jade looked at the people in the living room with surprise written all over her face.

She did not expect so many people to be around.

Chatty finally could not sit still and stood up. She ran to Clayton's lap and swayed her body.

"Daddy, I want to go out and play!"

The meeting was too boring, and she could not understand what the grown­ups were talking about.

Chatty thought everyone would sit in line to share snacks!

However, nothing of that sort happened.

Clayton stroked her soft hair dotingly.

"Go on and play with Levi. But don't run out of the yard."

"Okay!"

Chatty happily held Levi's hand and ran out.

Jade rubbed her hands together and smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, I came in such a hurry that I forgot to bring gifts for the children."

Kai sneered and did not show her any respect.

"It's good enough that you're not asking us for money, so we don’t expect you to bring gifts for the children."

Jade's smile froze for a second.

"Kai, you're still so naughty. Why don't you have a kid now that you're married? Your brother and sister already have children. Don’t you envy them? Or do you have an unspeakable reason? I can introduce you to a fertility clinic."

Kai stood up angrily.

"Who the hell are you to insult me in my house? Do you really think you're so great?"

How dare this woman humiliate him?

Kai was enjoying his romantic time with Julie.

He also had a baby on the way.

Of course, Kai did not want to tell this woman about it because she did not deserve to know the good news.

Jade smiled meaningfully, walked to the sofa, and sat down unhurriedly.

"No matter what, I'm still your second aunt and your elder. Big Brother, you value family the most, so how could your son not know how to respect his elders?"

Jade looked at Floy and tried to get Floyd to stop Kai from being rude.

In the entire Stanton family, Kai was the most unpredictable one in everything he did.

Kai was also the rudest.

Grant did not have the patience to listen to Jade, so he stood up immediately.

"Dad, Aida and I are going back to our room first."

Floyd nodded and remained silent.

He did not speak because he did not want to respond to Jade.

Nicole and Clayton did not leave.

Nicole stared straight at Jade, which made Jade nervous.

Apart from Kai, Nicole was the second harshest in the family.

Jade was still afraid of Nicole.

Kai was a wild card, but Nicole could break the rules and get away with it.

Together, their intensity was just too great.

Floyd coughed and cleared his throat.

"Alright, just get to the point. I'm busy."

Jade smiled awkwardly, lowered her eyes, turned to look at Floyd, and said, "Big Brother, Noah is your younger brother after all. Why didn't you help him out when something like this happened? Why did you just watch him go to jail? I asked a lawyer. The punishment for his crimes may be life imprisonment!"

Floyd was silent for a moment and took a deep breath. His expression was indistinguishable, but there was a chill in his eyes.

"Help? How can I help him? Shall I bribe the police or the judge? How dare you suggest something like this?!

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2623 -Jade's face turned pale.

"You should try both, or at least find a reliable lawyer to get him less jail time."

Nicole could not help but chuckle.

She interrupted their conversation.

"Aunt Jade, in fact, you came at the right time. We're here to discuss how to rescue Uncle Noah!"

Jade glanced at her in surprise and disbelief.

"Then... What did you discuss?"

Clayton smiled inexplicably. His warm gaze fell on Nicole, and he looked like he was watching a good show.

Nicole sighed.

"Actually, we have consulted a lawyer. The worst-case scenario is the death penalty. After all, he killed two people. But there is a way. Uncle Noah was married to you back then, right? As long as you come forward to testify that

Uncle Noah has been with you all the time, so he didn't have a chance to commit those crimes, there may be a glimmer of hope!"

Jade's face turned pale instantly, and she stood up in shock.

"You... You want me to give a false statement? How could I? This is illegal!"

Nicole sneered with a chill in her eyes.

"Wow, you know the law? Then why did you ask my dad to do those illegal things as soon as you came in?"

Only then did Jade realize that she was being played by Nicole.

Her face turned livid.

"Nicole, you can't say that. I was just anxious, so I didn't think it through. Your uncle hasn't been convicted yet, so we can still fight for his freedom."

Nicole lowered her eyes and raised her eyebrows.

"Then you should work harder. We're counting on you!”

"What do you mean?" Jade looked at her, and finally at Floyd.

"Big Brother, you don't plan to help Noah?"

Floyd's eyes were deep and dark.

"He has to pay the price for what he did. We have no control over what you want to do, but we don't need your input either."

Jade did not expect Floyd to be so determined.

She panicked for a while.

Jade was no longer tough and domineering. She stuttered and sat down again, organizing her thoughts.

"If he dies like this, how will my daughter and I live? We'll be

an orphan and a widow..."

As Jade spoke, two drops of tears came out of her eyes.

It was a pity that no one cared.

Floyd lowered his eyes and looked impatient. He was just putting up with Jade.

Nicole thought it was hilarious.

"Aunt Jade, your daughter isn't Uncle Noah's biological daughter, and she’s not a Stanton. Our family raised her for you, yet you still want her to depend on Uncle Noah for the rest of her life? Even bloodsuckers aren't so diligent."

Jade suddenly froze. Her face was glum.

"Nicole, you're too harsh. Your uncle couldn't have a child, but I took care of him. What's wrong with him taking care of my daughter in return?"

Kai could not stand it and interrupted her irritably.

"That's enough. What are you doing here? We don't welcome you here!"

Jade took a deep breath to hold back her anger.

Floyd did not stop his children from being rude, which meant he condoned this behavior.

Jade was aware of her situation, but she did not want to leave empty-handed.

She had to get what she wanted.

Jade took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at Floyd.

"Big Brother, since Noah can't come out of prison, I can’t just sit around and wait for him till I die. Please let me return to the company. I will take good care of the Jericho City branch, and I will use Noah's shares well. I won't cause trouble for the company. In the past two years, I haven't caused any trouble. I just want to live a peaceful life."

Hearing this, Floyd frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were deep and dark, as if he could see through everything.

'You want his shares?"

Jade twitched the corners of her mouth to maintain a decent smile.

"Shouldn't I have them? I’m his wife and his successor. Now that he's in jail, I should be in charge of all his property."

As soon as she said this, Kai sneered.

'You don’t know yet, do you? He sold his shares to Eric Ferguson."

"I know. But Eric didn't want them, right? It means that the shares are still in Noah’s name."

Jade said and looked at Floyd.

She cared more about Floyd's attitude.

Floyd had a soft spot, especially for his younger brother.

It was impossible for Floyd to disregard his brother's family.

As soon as she finished speaking, Floyd looked at her suspiciously.

Clayton's playful eyes were also stunned, and he squeezed Nicole's hand.

Jade realized something and immediately added with a smile.

"I was just guessing. Since Eric likes Nicole so much, he'll probably curry favor with you. How could he do something that isn’t beneficial for Stanton Corporation? Eric is afraid of Nicole. Clayton, I'm not sowing discord between you two. I’m just stating the truth. Even if it was for Nicole, Eric wouldn't have signed the contract. What’s more, if there was a real change in the ownership of the shares, the Jericho City branch would have already received the news, and it wouldn't be so peaceful."

Jade was indeed an experienced person in the business world.

She could clearly grasp what could throw a company into turmoil.

In just a few words, she analyzed the situation.

However, Floyd was infuriated by Jade's words.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Eric is already married, so stop giving my daughter a bad name."

"Sorry, Big Brother. I made a slip of the tongue."

Jade quickly admitted her mistake.

Anyway, she already said her piece and could not take back her words.

"But it's true that Eric doesn’t own the shares, right?”

Jade asked tentatively, but she was confident of her inference.

Floyd glanced at her silently. His eyes were deep and dark.

'You want the shares?"

"Of course. This is the only thing that Noah left for me. I'll disappoint him if I don't take them."

Jade hid the excitement in her chest.

Kai rolled his eyes speechlessly. Jade was too anxious to benefit from Noah.

Before Noah's sentence was pronounced, Jade could not wait to come over to sort out the property. Those who did not know better would think that she was in a hurry to collect her inheritance!

Floyd slowly took a sip of tea from the teacup and sighed.

"Sorry to disappoint you, Jade. Everyone in the company knows about what Noah did, and he hasn’t paid back what he owes to the company yet. Now, the board of directors insists on holding him accountable. The police will confiscate his property and repay the company's arrears, which will be covered by the dividends of his shares."

After hearing this, Jade was shocked and stood up abruptly. Her face became glum.

'The board of directors listens to you. If you don't speak up, why would they hold him accountable for the arrears? I think you came up with the idea because you wanted to take his shares as your own!"

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2624-Jade's rudeness made Floyd's face darken.

Nicole twitched the corner of her mouth indifferently.

"The shares of Stanton Corporation belong to the Stanton family. Back then, Uncle Noah signed his shares over to the company so that he would only enjoy the dividends. Now that he has left the company, he will not be able to enjoy the dividends. Aunt Jade, your plan has failed. These shares aren't part of your property division. Even if they are to be divided, the interests of the company come first.”

Jade's complexion was dull.

"Then what should I do? If he goes to jail, how will I survive? I don’t care! Those shares must be given to me! Otherwise, I won’t rest!”

Jade sat there looking like a rogue, as if she was determined to get the shares.

Floyd's face was gloomy, and he glanced at Jade with a complicated look.

"You should go back and wait for the police and the company's notice. Noah stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the company. The company is nice enough not to chase you for the money owed, yet you demand for the shares? I’m not Noah, so I don't care how you will survive. We don't have time to watch your act."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the butler.

"Please see her out."

"Yes, Chairman."

Before the butler could speak, Jade became a little anxious and stood up furiously.

"Big Brother, you can't say that! Noah is your younger brother. You add insult to injury when he's in trouble. If I tell the media about this, I'm afraid they will also be very interested in this matter!"

Floyd's face was stiff. His eyes froze instantly, and his breathing deepened.

There seemed to be a dead silence in the air.

Hah! This was a blatant threat.

Nicole suddenly felt that although Jade's old habits had not changed, she had somehow improved.

However, they could not compromise because if they gave her a smidge, she would ask for more.

Jade was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

Nicole spoke from the side.

"Go ahead and tell the media. We can still afford the money for suppressing trending topics. Aunt Jade, who are you trying to threaten? You're so old, yet you still want to rely on others to survive. Uncle Noah must have left a lot of money for you, but you don't even appreciate it. Come at us with everything you have, Aunt Jade. You should know that we have been supporting Uncle Noah because he's our relative, but it's not our duty to do so. Don’t think that you're in his position. Our family doesn’t support idlers."

Nicole's words to Jade were ruthless.

"I'm your second uncle's wife. How am I an idler? It's only fair for me to inherit his property. Nicole, why are you speaking so harshly? Do you think I have no other way?"

Jade glared at Nicole aggressively.

Just as Nicole was about to speak, Clayton squeezed Nicole’s hand and looked at Jade with a half-smile.

"Since you know what Noah has done, you should know that you aren’t the only one with inheritance rights, huh?"

Jade's expression changed slightly.

Her breathing paused.

Clayton smiled. "You should go back. We will find a way to help you so that you won't be starving for the rest of your life."

Starving?

Now, even the most ordinary migrant workers would not starve to death.

Jade's chest was stuffy.

She was so anxious that she neglected the most important thing.

Noah's biological daughter was not dead.

Jade glanced at Floyd with a dark gaze. Finally, she restrained her emotions and said goodbye with a fake smile.

"Big Brother, you should think about it carefully. After all, I am Noah's only wife. You shouldn’t be so indifferent to your relatives. It won't be good when we drag each other down, right?"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

The butler followed behind to see her off.

Nicole snorted coldly with a glum face.

"She's threatening us. She's really the same as Uncle Noah."

Floyd's face was cold and gloomy.

"Get the lawyer to go through the formalities quickly. We can't let this woman take the advantage."

Nicole nodded.

The right to get the dividends from those shares should be given to Selena!

Clayton remained silent.

Seeing that they were upset, Clayton reminded them.

"Dad, don't you think that something is off?"

"What?'

"That woman came here to collect her inheritance. In fact, she doesn't really care that much about Uncle Noah. She only wants the company and shares. She's also well aware of what Uncle Noah has done. More importantly, her reaction to Uncle Noah's crimes is too calm. She didn’t even care that her husband cheated on her, raped another woman, or had an illegitimate child. She didn't leave until I said that she wasn't the only legal heir. If my guess is correct, she is probably going to trouble Selena.”

Clayton thought about it and spoke his mind.

His face was solemn.

Nicole subconsciously raised her head to look at him. She instantly understood something and had a bad intuition.

"I’ll inform Selena right now."

Clayton smiled and comforted her.

"Don't worry. When you ask the lawyer to deliver the contract, just mention it in passing. It's more effective to tell Mr. Ferguson than to tell Selena."

Nicole pursed her lips.

She felt a little sorry for Selena.

Nicole was unaware of what happened before and even blamed her for hurting Floyd.

However, after she found out about what happened, she realized that Selena had a much more difficult life than she imagined.

Selena's birth and existence were bitter.

Nicole should not have said those things to Selena.

"I’ll go find her. I have to apologize to her for what happened last time."

Floyd nodded. "You should go in person to show your sincerity. Talk to her, and tell her that we're a family if she is willing to accept us. This has nothing to do with Noah. She’s still your friend after all."

Nicole nodded.

Selena might not be willing to take the shares, but they should show their sincerity.

Nicole invited Selena to a cafe near Chatty's and Chance's school.

It was more convenient to pick up the children after.

When Selena arrived, Nicole was already there. Nicole smiled and waved to Selena.

Selena smiled and walked over.

"Have you been waiting for a long time? Sorry, there was some traffic on the road."

"No, I just arrived."

Nicole looked at Selena with a smile. Selena looked much better than before.

"I asked you out this time because I wanted to apologize to you. I'm really sorry for saying those harsh things the last time you were at my house. If I were in your shoes, I'd feel

hurt by those words."

Selena smiled and shook her head. She took out a small gift box from her bag and handed it over.

"Don't take it to heart. I can understand why you were mad since we hurt your father. It was indeed my fault. Eric used the wrong approach. This is a small gift I picked for you. Eric said that you like to collect gemstone bracelets. I bought this from a businessman in Dubai. I hope you like it."

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2625 -When Selena talked about Nicole and Eric, she had a smile on her face, and there was no concern or disgust in her eyes.

It was probably because Selena felt that Eric had left his past behind.

Eric would never approach Nicole again, and they each had their own lives.

Nicole smiled. The gemstone bracelet in the box was shiny and beautiful. It was extravagant with each carefully crafted gemstone. There was a kind of wild and exquisite beauty to it.

Nicole shook her head and could not help but laugh.

"I liked collecting these a few years ago, but I’ve restrained myself now. Thank you, I really like it!"

Selena took the initiative to give her a gift, which showed that she did not mind Nicole's past with Eric. They just laughed it off.

Nicole wore the bracelet on her wrist. It was indeed very beautiful.

Selena smiled and was very happy to see that Nicole liked it.

"The past is in the past. Let's forgive each other, okay?"

Nicole nodded with sore eyes.

"It’s a pity I didn't prepare a gift for you, but I brought this..."

Nicole took out the contract from her bag and handed it to Selena.

"If you sign this, you can get a share of the Stanton Corporation in the future."

Selena frowned. She was a little puzzled by the document in front of her.

"What's this?'

'This was Noah's share, but the company took it back a few years ago. My father thought that Noah should have some money for retirement, so he gave Noah the annual dividends. Now that Noah is in jail, my father said that you should have this as a little favor from us. Please accept it."

Selena’s face stiffened. She was silent as she lowered and shook her head.

She pushed the contract back.

"I don't want it."

"Selena, you don't know how much money this is. Don't you want to buy a bar? You can buy ten bars with this money."

Nicole explained patiently.

Selena smiled and shook her head.

"Nicole, if I accept this, I will have to admit that Noah is my biological father. That way, I will have to accept this blood relationship, and I have to face the past that was robbed of me. Since birth, I've had no parents. Now, I don't want them.

I don’t want to admit that he is my father, and I won’t acknowledge my ties with the Stanton family. You’re a good friend of mine. This is a deep enough relationship to me. It’s better to keep it as it is now."

Nicole listened to her quietly and felt a little embarrassed.

She had been incredibly lucky growing up, and she had a great life.

Compared with Selena, Nicole was living in heaven.

However, even if Selena's life was tough, she had never wavered in the face of the money.

Nicole smiled and understood what she meant.

"Okay, I understand. But please thank Eric on our behalf.

Although the shares that Noah transferred to him were useless, Eric didn't know that. It would have been very troublesome if Eric insisted on them."

"He knows, Nicole. He won't hurt you."

Selena looked at her with a smile.

Nicole raised her head and felt a little embarrassed again:

"Selena, you should know that Eric and I had nothing going on between us back then."

"Nicole, you don’t need to explain anything. I understand that the past is over, and Eric also made it clear to me. It's not awkward at all. We're still good friends, and we need to keep in touch in the future!"

Nicole smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, you're right."

The two ladies looked at each other and smiled, seemingly relieved.

In the end, Nicole suddenly remembered one more important thing.

"Noah has a wife named Jade Smith. She's very difficult to deal with. She has been eyeing those shares for a long time, and she knows of your existence, so you have to be careful."

Selena was slightly taken aback. Then, she nodded.

"Don't worry. I'm prepared."

"Good."

Nicole smiled. She guessed that Eric would not have suspected Jade.

When Jennifer got out of the psychiatric hospital, she saw Jade, and her expression changed.

"Mrs. Stanton."

Jade sized Jennifer up. Jennifer was in a daze. She lost a lot of weight, and her eyes were dull.

It seemed that she was really tortured.

'You’re still sane. You didn’t say anything you shouldn't have, right?"

Jade glanced at the psychiatric hospital behind them.

Jennifer immediately shook her head.

"No, I did as you said. I didn't tell them anything. Eric was so angry that he beat me himself."

Jennifer unconsciously covered her face as if she had some lingering fear.

Jade chuckled lightly.

"Don’t worry. This is just temporary. Aren't I here now to rescue you? As long as you're obedient, I won't treat you badly when I get what I want. Didn’t you envy your cousin who married Eric? Why don’t you wait until your cousin dies? Then, I'll match you up with Eric."

Jennifer's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Then her eyes dimmed again.

"But Eric doesn't like me. He only likes Selena. I don't know what method she used to bewitch Eric."

Jennifer was unreconciled and covetous.

Jade twitched the corners of her mouth and gradually let down her guard.

Jennifer was still the same as before, completely brainless.

"Let's go. I'll think of a way for you. You just need to do one more thing for me."

"What is it?"

When Jade got into the car, Jennifer had no choice but to follow.

Jennifer glanced back at the psychiatric hospital.

What Eric said to her last time came to mind.

Jennifer shuddered unconsciously and sobered up.

"What are you looking at? Are you reluctant to leave this place?"

Jade could not help but ask.

"Of course not! I don't want to come to this hell hole ever again. Fortunately, you found me. Otherwise, I don't know how long I will be stuck here."

Jennifer said gratefully.

Jade chuckled triumphantly. "Of course! Money can make the world go round!"

She just bribed Eric's driver, who easily revealed Eric's whereabouts.

The people around Eric were not all that after all!

Jade came to another road and got down to business.

"You shouldn't show yourself for the time being, but your parents can. I have a bottle of medicine here. Get your parents to pour it into Selena's cup and make her drink it. Then, your task is complete."

Jennifer turned pale with fright.

"Is it poison?’

"It’s potassium cyanide."

Jade glanced at her slowly.

"Why? Are you scared?"

Jennifer sat there trembling.

"I don't dare to do this, neither will my parents. They're old, and killing someone is too scary. They can’t go to jail!"

"Hmph! Didn’t you almost kill Selena yourself? How did you forget so quickly?"

Jade could not help but reveal Jennifer's true colors.

It was too late to be afraid now.

"Also, we won't get a chance to do this. Selena is now avoiding our family like the plague. She's afraid that we'll pester her, so she won't see my parents."

What Jennifer said was the truth.

It was also according to Eric's instructions.

Jennifer did not dare to say one wrong word, let alone expose their plans.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2626 -Jade was silent for a moment. Then, she pursed her lips.

"I don’t care what method you use. You must get your parents to see Selena. Otherwise, I will make your parents drink this bottle of potassium cyanide."

Jennifer raised her head abruptly. Her face was extremely pale.

"Okay."

She spoke in a low voice.

The uneasiness and fear in her eyes could not be concealed.

A few days later, the opportunity came.

Eric specially brought Selena to attend a charity auction to relax her mind.

Moreover, he also bought a lot of jewelry and antiques.

Soon, he became the focus of the crowd.

After the auction, there was a charity dinner.

Jennifer's parents managed to get an invitation through various channels.

Jade was already in the center of the venue. She wanted to watch this good show, but Jennifer's parents came late, and the crowd dispersed when they arrived.

Jade was furious.

If they missed this opportunity, how long would they have to wait for the next opportunity?

The Stanton family would definitely deal with the shares as soon as possible.

Thus, Jade had to get rid of Selena before the Stantons allocated the shares.

That way, no one else would compete with Jade.

Soon, Jennifer's mother panicked and hid in a secluded place.

She held that bottle of familiar medicine and was about to pour it into the wine as soon as I opened it.

Coincidentally, a drunk man came out of nowhere and knocked her over.

Jennifer's mother screamed in pain, which quickly attracted the attention of others.

The bottle of medicine rolled into a corner where no one noticed.

They were so close.

Jade watched the scene indifferently.

The Nelsons truly were a family of failures.

Jennifer's father also turned pale with fright and trembled all over. He went over, grabbed his wife's hand, and shouted for

help in a panic. He asked someone to call for an ambulance.

There was a doctor at the venue, and under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Nelsons were put on a stretcher and sent away.

Jade's face turned red with anger.

After the crowd dispersed, Jade walked to that corner by herself and held the bottle of medicine in her hand while no one was paying attention.

She took the opportunity to put the medicine in the red wine, which quickly dispersed into the rich liquid.

After doing all this, Jade found that her palms were sweating.

She was sweaty and nervous when the time came for her to kill someone.

Jade swirled the glass of wine, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.

She held the glass of wine and walked toward Selena.

The passing waiter was also carrying a few glasses of wine. She paused, took one of the glasses down, and put the drugged wine on the tray.

"Go and deliver this wine to Mrs. Ferguson. I'm going to toast her."

The waiter paused and followed her without asking any further questions.

Jade felt relieved.

As long as she did not deliver the wine on her own, it would have nothing to do with her even if Selena died before her eyes.

Jade thought about it and walked over with a smile.

Selena did not know who Jade was, but she knew Selena.

Long before the plan started, Jade already knew Selena well.

Eric was not by Selena's side, and Selena was surrounded by a group of ladies chatting away.

Jade walked over and put on her usual facade.

"Mrs. Ferguson, it's an honor to meet you for the first time..."

Jade raised her glass to drink with Selena.

"I came here especially to say hello to you. My husband and Mr. Ferguson are cooperating in many projects."

Jade introduced herself vaguely.

She looked like the other rich housewives who wanted to curry favor with Selena.

There were many insignificant people like Jade at this banquet, so Jade was sure that Selena would not ask who she was in detail.

Sure enough, Selena just smiled politely and nodded.

"Hello."

Jade raised her wine glass as a signal.

Selena did not move.

The person next to her could not help but laugh.

"You're asking Mrs. Ferguson to drink, but you filled your glass with pomegranate juice? You're bullying her, huh?”

Jade was slightly taken aback.

Only then did she realize that the glass she was holding was diamond-shaped, while the other wine glasses were common.

Jade guessed that the red wine and the pomegranate juice of the same color were segregated by the type of glass.

She was secretly annoyed at herself for being careless because she had focused all her attention on the Nelson family.

Jade quickly took a new glass from the waiter and put another glass in front of Selena.

"I made a mistake. Please don’t blame me, Mrs. Ferguson. Here's a toast to you."

Jade was sure that she put the poisonous wine on the outside of the tray, so she took the cup inside.

Selena accepted it with a smile and drank the wine in front of everyone.

Jade looked shocked and immediately drank the wine in front of her.

As soon as Jade swallowed it, she felt that something was wrong.

For a moment, there was a burning sensation in her stomach.

The cup in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Suddenly, Jade heard a shocked scream.

Everyone immediately gathered around.

Jade only felt that she was in so much pain that even her breathing hurt. Her internal organs felt like it was exploding. The boundless pain overwhelmed all her rationality.

She curled up on the cold floor, trembling and shivering uncontrollably.

The pain got worse.

Jade’s dreary eyes saw that Selena was screaming for help in shock. Selena was perfectly fine.

That glass of wine...

No, Selena drank the non-poisonous wine!

How so?

Her consciousness gradually caved.

Jade could smell the blood flowing out from her nose.

Gradually, her eyes dimmed, and she lost consciousness.

Everyone was terrified and backed up.

The security guards quickly came to surround and protect the scene.

The police also got the news and rushed over.

The ambulance came first, but it was too late.

When the ambulance arrived, Jade had no pulse and had become stiff.

Eric was socializing in other places and rushed over when he heard the commotion. He saw Selena sitting there. Her face was pale from fright.

He hurried over and hugged her, covering her eyes.

The person next to him reacted and immediately began to explain.

"Mr. Ferguson, I don't know whether this woman wants to hurt Mrs. Ferguson or commit suicide. She drank the wine herself and even handed over a glass to Mrs. Ferguson. This is terrifying! You should go to the hospital to have a look."

"Yeah, how could this happen?"

Eric's face tensed, and he did not speak.

The event organizer dispersed the crowd.

As a close contact, Selena stayed behind to be questioned by the police.

Selena was startled, so her complexion was poor.

After all, someone died before her eyes.

The police were also considerate and asked Eric to accompany Selena.

The event organizer had already obtained the surveillance footage.

The weird thing was that they saw Jade pouring the medicine into the glass from an angle. She also shook the glass for fear that others would find out.

Then, Jade put the drugged wine on the waiter's tray.

Jade went to Selena at the first opportunity, but why did Jade die?

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2627 -Another surveillance footage showed that the waiter almost dropped the tray because of the instability of the wine glasses, so the waiter moved the position of the wine glass. However, Jade was unaware of this.

The autopsy results came out overnight.

Jade was found to be poisoned by potassium cyanide.

The ingredients were the same as the small bottle that Jade was carrying.

Jade intentionally wanted to kill someone, but she accidentally killed herself.

She would never understand which part of her scheme went wrong and why she ended up dead.

The police checked the surveillance footage and found that the small bottle was initially dropped by Selena’s aunt.

They followed the lead and arrested her.

The aunt confessed everything without omission and told the police that she was threatened, so she had to go to the event.

However, the aunt did not want to harm anyone, so she took the opportunity of her fall to throw away the bottle of medicine.

Unexpectedly, Jade did not give up and did it by herself.

The police frowned slightly.

"Is there any proof?"

"Yes, I have proof."

The aunt called Jennifer over. "Tell the truth to the police. Don't be afraid!"

Jennifer nodded and took out her mobile phone.

She played the recorded conversation she had with Jade in the car.

"Jade threatened me with my parent’s lives. I spent a lot of money to buy that ticket to the event. We are Mrs.

Ferguson's relatives. Although we don't have much contact with each other, we don’t want to kill her..."

Jennifer was crying hysterically. She looked so pitiful.

"Officer, I have said everything I could, and I have nothing to hide."

The police heard other things from the recorded conversation.

"Have you ever hurt Mrs. Ferguson before?"

"Hmph! Didn’t you almost kill Selena yourself? How did you forget so quickly?"

Those were Jade's words.

The audio had not been edited to avoid suspicion.

Jennifer took a deep breath, lowered her head, and admitted her mistake.

"Jade forced me to do that, but I have already admitted my mistake to Selena. She has also forgiven me."

The police officer paused and nodded. "We will doublecheck this with Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson."

All the evidence pointed at the deceased Jade.

Moreover, they also found an overseas transaction in Jade’s account.

It was probably the cost of buying this bottle of potassium cyanide from a chemical laboratory abroad.

From Jade's chat records, they saw that Jade had asked what was the fatal dosage for human consumption.

This further proved the fact that Jade bought this medicine to kill.

That night, Eric took Selena home.

When they arrived home, neither of them got out of the car.

Eric looked at her quietly.

"Are you scared?"

Selena pursed her lips and nodded. "This is the first time I saw someone die in front of my eyes. Even though I've prepared myself mentally, I still feel so uncomfortable and nauseous."

Eric stroked her hair and said softly, "It's all over now, Selena. No one will bother us in the future."

Selena nodded with sore eyes.

"It’s her own fault. I have nothing to fear. But it's just so tragic and dangerous. Eric, don’t take any more risks in the future, okay?"

Eric lowered his eyes and nodded.

"Okay."

He used this method to end all this.

If they had gone through the normal channels, all Jade did was instigate crimes. Jade would be released from prison after a few years, and she would still be ruthless.

This way, Eric was eliminating any future troubles.

He had no regrets.

It was Jade's own doing.

From the very beginning, Jade was the one who instigated Noah to find trouble with Selena. She was also the one who made full preparations for Noah.

All of this was because Jade wanted to leave Noah.

Jade had a boy toy who she loved and naively wanted to use Noah's money to live with that guy.

But how could Noah’s property fall into her hands if she did not get rid of Noah first?

Thus, this series of events began.

Now, Jade was dead and could not spend a single penny.

The police quickly closed the case.

When Noah found out, he just twitched his lips.

He had no other expression.

His wife was just a prop for him to seem normal to outsiders.

How could he have feelings for her?

From then on, the Nelson family behaved themselves. Jennifer left the country and never wanted to come back.

Eric told her the plan at the beginning.

He warned her that if a word of their plan was revealed, she would end up like Jade.

Jennifer saw how cruel this man was and no longer had any more wishful thinking.

Eric's plan was meticulous and detailed. There was no mistake in any part.

Even the drunk person, who knocked down Jennifer's mother, and the inexperienced young waiter were carefully planned by Eric.

This was the last time Eric would make an exception. Eric wanted to live a peaceful life like Clayton and wash away the darkness of the past. He wanted to be an upright person.

Eric had actually envied Clayton for a long time.

Finally, Eric found his lifelong partner.

Selena attended Noah's trial.

The Supreme Court pronounced Noah's death sentence.

It was a delayed justice.

Selena burned that diary in the Nelson villa.

She wanted to take this opportunity to comfort her biological mother, who had left a trace of kindness to her.

That same year, Eric took Selena to travel around the world.

Selena's bar was also open.

Chaz took care of everything in the bar. Although Selena was not there when the bar opened, Nicole brought many friends over to support it.

The following year, Julie gave birth. Nicole was waiting outside, and Kai went in to accompany Julie.

As a result, when Julie was trying to push for a natural birth, Kai burst into tears.

"OMG! It hurts to death! My wife is going to die from the pain!"

The doctor looked at Kai helplessly and asked the nurse to persuade him to leave the ward.

'Your presence here will affect the patient. She had the strength to push earlier, but because of you, she became too angry to push."

Kai stood beside the bed and held Julie's hand as tears streamed down his face.

"No, I'm not leaving! I want to stay with my wife! I don’t want that little b*stard! I just want my wife... Sob sob sob..."

Julie took a deep breath, stared at Kai coldly, and shouted at him with all her might.

"Shut up!"

Kai sniffled. His handsome face was a little embarrassed.

Julie could not help but roll her eyes.

"Get out! You’re crying louder than me. Are you trying to scare my son?”

Kai paused. He curled his lips and looked at her longingly.

"Then I can stop crying..."

Julie turned her face away.

"Get lost now!"

Kai could not help but shed more tears. He wept bitterly and miserably.

Floyd, who was outside, was furious when he heard this and stood up to yell at Kai.

"You little b*stard! Get out now! Don't stress Julie out and scare my grandson! You’re crying worse than a banshee! Are you the one in labor?!"

Floyd was scolding Kai as usual.

Kai stopped crying after a while.

Clayton and Nicole looked at each other helplessly.

Nicole lowered her head and touched her protruding belly. Her gaze was soft and bright.

Spring was coming, and the future was bright.

Nicole felt very fulfilled in life.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2628 -In the blink of an eye, Chatty grew up.

As soon as she graduated from high school, she found a boyfriend.

She was also happy to go home and share the good news with Nicole.

Nicole did not think much of it. She thought that her daughter should enjoy the feeling of sweet and youthful love.

Thus, Nicole asked Chatty about her feelings and did not think she was too serious in a relationship.

Nicole felt that she could turn a blind eye to it.

However, when Clayton found out, he could not sleep all night.

Clayton intended to have a good talk with his daughter.

Chatty did not think much of it.

"Everyone in my class has a boyfriend. If I didn’t have one, I wouldn't be able to keep up with the trend! Of course, I have to date while I’m young. Otherwise, it won't be considered puppy love anymore! Life without a first love isn’t perfect!"

Clayton tried to persuade her. "You're still young. If you see the world, you'll know that men aren’t great."

'Then is Mommy blind since she's with you?"

Chatty had been eccentric since childhood. She was becoming increasingly beautiful, with very similar features and mannerisms to Nicole.

Moreover, Chatty also inherited Clayton's advantages. She had big and animated eyes and was very tall. She was charming and had both Clayton and Nicole's advantages.

Nicole knew that her daughter would be a femme fatale when she grew up, so she kept instilling into Chatty that she should have a happy family just like them.

Chatty saw how speechless Clayton was and happily ran over to hold his arm.

"Daddy, don't worry. I just want to experience puppy love."

'Then tell me, what kind of person is your boyfriend?"

"Which one are you referring to?"

Clayton was stunned. "You have a few?!"

"Of course! Everyone has only one boyfriend. I can't be like them. I have a different boyfriend for every day of the week!"

Chatty said this as a matter of course.

Clayton opened his mouth and suddenly thought of a word to describe his daughter - playgirl.

However, he was also quite relieved. At least, Chatty would not be head over heels in love with someone.

"Daddy, don't worry. I'll break up with them after the boyfriend contest is over!"

"A boyfriend contest?"

Chatty nodded. "It’s a competition held among my classmates to see who can date the longest until the day we reach adulthood."

Clayton calculated Chatty's age. Chatty still had more than a year before she became an adult. That was still a long way to go.

His excited mood was instantly quelled.

Clayton could not bring himself to be happy for her.

He frowned at her.

"You’re only dating so that you can win the competition?"

Chatty nodded.

"Of course! It’s my damn competitiveness! I can't lose. Everyone else only has one boyfriend, but I have seven, so I gotta win!"

Clayton nodded in understanding and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was such a worried old father.

"Alright. Good luck!"

Chatty was about to say when her phone rang.

"Levi and Chance are waiting for me, so I'll get going first."

Clayton nodded.

Nicole came out of the room. "Clyde's teacher called again, saying that he beat someone in school. I've been to his school three times this month. I really can’t afford to embarrass myself again. Clayton, you should go in the future!"

Clyde was Nicole and Clayton's second child.

Chatty named her brother Clyde because she had been looking forward to him being her partner in crime for the longest time.

Nicole thought that Clyde would be more well-behaved, but under Chatty’s guidance, Clyde had become a replica of Chatty. He was so naughty that he could bring the house down.

Clayton smiled, took Nicole's hand, and went out together.

"Alright, I will go in the future. That little brat is so naughty. I went there five times in the last month, and I was

completely humiliated."

Nicole chuckled. Clayton used to be the one who went to meet the teacher, but it became too frequent last month, almost like he was going to school for dinner.

Most of Clyde's older classmates were the children of Clayton's business partners.

Normally, Clayton liked to ignore others in the office and was always fawned over by others.

However, at school, Clayton had to be humble and apologize on behalf of his son.

Clayton could not stand this anymore and proposed to let Nicole go this month.

Clayton was about to send Nicole to work.

As soon as he drove the car out, he saw Chatty standing on the side of the road with Chance.

Chance grew to be very tall, thin, and good-looking. He looked gentle and clean-cut, but his eyes resembled Eric's. Occasionally, when Chance raised his head to look at strangers, his frown gave off an oppressive feeling.

Chance stood there talking to Chatty politely. He took out the dessert that he had prepared and handed it over to Chatty.

Chatty took it, patted him on the shoulder to express her appreciation, and then got into the car.

Chance curled the corners of his mouth happily, as if he had received some kind of reward.

Nicole and Clayton saw this scene.

Clayton pursed his lips slightly. "When did they get so close?"

Nicole glanced at Clayton to the side.

"Didn't you ask her about it? Chance is now one of her boyfriends."

Clayton's eyes widened for a moment.

One of her boyfriends?

Was Chance one of those seven boys?

The way Chance looked at his daughter was clearly not so innocent.

It was difficult to conceal lust.

Clayton could clearly see it from Chance's gaze and actions.

Although Clayton wanted Chatty to marry someone she likes, Clayton was still a bit uncomfortable if Chatty*s partner turned out to be Chance.

If Chatty married Chance, Eric would be so happy.

Eric and Selena gave birth to a son named Seth two years after their marriage.

Eric clearly liked his youngest son more than Chance.

Back then, he threw a big banquet for Seth and completely ignored Chance's feelings no matter how much Selena tried to persuade him otherwise.

Fortunately, Chance did not care about these things.

Perhaps he did, but he was used to it.

Eric would not mistreat his youngest son for Chance, but he would not make Chance suffer for his younger son.

Under Selena's care, Chance became more and more cheerful.

Although the two children looked similar, everyone could tell that Eric preferred his younger son more because Seth was born to him and Selena.

Although Clayton thought that Chance was a good kid, it was hard to say if Chance was just pretending this whole time.

Clayton preferred if Chance found a simple guy.

Nicole saw that Clayton was not speaking and said with a smile, "Are you still thinking about her seven boyfriends?"

"Why can't I think about it? I worry about her every day.

Should we send her abroad to study? I don’t want her to be too far away, but if she stays here, she won't be able to grow much."

Clayton voiced his thoughts.

Nicole also hesitated a bit.

"I think it's better for her to study abroad for a few years. We’re always around to protect her here, so she won't be able to see the outside world."

Clayton did not speak and took Nicole's hand.

"Okay, I'll talk to her later."

Chatty was their precious daughter. It would be great if they could protect her for the rest of their lives, but they knew that it was impossible.

They hoped that their children would grow to be towering trees instead of a flower in a greenhouse.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2629 -Clayton talked to Chatty about studying abroad.

Chatty agreed without hesitation.

He asked her where she wanted to go, to which she replied that she was fine with anywhere except France.

Clayton pondered for a while before asking, "Are you reluctant about France because of Fischer?"

Chatty’s eyes turned red.

"I don't remember him at all. Daddy, don't mention him!"

She felt aggrieved.

Chatty grew up with him, and he suddenly disappeared one day.

It felt like a dream.

That person was no longer behind her. Fischer was no longer around.

Chatty missed him very much, but Fischer did not even say goodbye.

Clayton touched her head and looked at his daughter in distress.

"Chatty, now that you've grown up, you should know that Fischer had no choice but to leave. He also couldn't contact you, so if you see him in the future, don't blame him."

Chatty stubbornly turned her head away, pretending not to care.

She was the apple of Clayton's eye, so when had she ever suffered any grievances?

Clayton would be terribly distressed when she cried sometimes.

Chatty had all the power that Stanton Corporation and Clayton had, so she did not have to suffer one bit.

However, when she was older, she thought of her friend whom she could not forget. When she wanted to contact him, she found that the phone number she used to reach him had been disconnected.

Chatty felt abandoned.

Now that Chatty decided to go abroad, Clayton contacted the school for her.

In the end, Chatty still went to Europe.

It felt like someone was waiting for her in the dark.

Before leaving, Chatty said goodbye to her classmates and broke up with her seven "boyfriends".

When she went to the airport, everyone in the Stanton family went to see her off.

Chatty was not that sentimental. She thought of it as traveling abroad with her parents. However, this time, she would be staying there by herself. She was looking forward to the freedom.

The beautiful little princess of the Stanton family waved at the others. Clayton and Nicole were planning to send Chatty to France with Clyde.

The family of four had just entered the boarding gate when they heard a clear and anxious voice.

"Chatty!"

Chatty turned her head and saw Chance running over in a panic. He looked miserable, and his face was a little pale. His eyes were calm from his suppressed emotions.

"Are you really leaving?"

Chatty nodded, smiled, and said, "Chance, thank you for taking care of me all this time. Oh, have you read my breakup letter?"

"I didn’t." Chance seemed a little angry.

"Oh, then you should go back and read it. I ended the contest early, so we're breaking up."

Chatty did not regard this relationship seriously.

She was just playing because it was fun.

It felt like a game that her parents often played with her and her younger brother.

Chance's face paled slightly. He wanted to say something, but there were too many people around. It was also difficult for him to say it in public.

Levi knew about his best friend's feelings for his little cousin.

However, Chatty was still young, so she would not think about love.

Levi stepped forward, smiled, and hugged Chatty.

"Call me when you get there and tell me if you need anything from here. I'll send it to you!"

Chatty nodded happily, smiled gorgeously, and looked so carefree.

"Okay, take care! Come and visit me when you guys are on vacation!"

Chatty waved her hand and walked toward Clayton and Nicole.

Chance walked two steps forward. "Chatty, will you forget me?"

He anxiously waited for the answer.

Chatty smiled, turned around, and blinked.

"Of course I won’t! Chance, you treat me better than my big brother!"

When she was with Chance and Levi, Chance was more attentive to her than Levi ever was.

Chatty waved her hand. Chance stood still with a smile on his face.

"Wait for me! I'll go over to find you soon!"

Chance shouted. However, it was a pity that Chatty was

busy catching a plane, so Chance did not know whether she heard him or not.

Levi went over to pat Chance on the shoulder and sighed.

The plane landed.

Chatty received many wishes and farewell messages from many people.

She looked at the clear blue sky and felt that it was no different from Mediania's.

Clayton bought a villa near her school. He could not bear to see his daughter living in a miserable dorm.

He also found more than 20 servants to serve Chatty in case she would be lonely and afraid at night. The surrounding houses were also bought and housed with bodyguards to protect her.

Clayton had already arranged so many personnel for Chatty, not to mention the covert ones.

Chatty's grades were good. She was smart and quickwitted. As long as she wanted to learn, these courses were not difficult for her.

However, Clayton still donated a building to the school. This was so that the school would pay more attention to his daughter and would not let her get bullied.

Nicole took Clyde’s hand and walked around the school with Chatty.

Clyde was too naughty and always ran around. He was cute and tender, and he liked to act like a baby. He was exactly the same as when Chatty was a child, so no one could bear to reprimand him.

However, Clayton was not as patient with Clyde compared to when he was with Chatty.

Once, Clayton personally tutored Clyde and lost his patience after Clyde made him so angry that his stomach ached.

It turned out that not all children could make him into a loving father.

This brat was his enemy!

"Daddy, Mommy, I want to stay here and go to school with Chatty!"

Clyde jumped up and down happily.

Clayton sneered.

"Great! You can stay here. That way, I can finally live alone with my wife!"

Clyde ran behind Clayton again.

"But I can’t bear to part with Daddy and Mommy!"

Clyde was so cute when she acted like a baby. However, he was also vicious when he beat people up.

The students in his class were all afraid of him when he waved his little fists.

Clyde never reasoned with others and beat up anyone who provoked him.

No one knew who Clyde inherited this temper from.

Clayton and Nicole reflected on themselves, and they both felt that they were not that violent.

On the contrary, Clyde reminded them of Kai.

Chatty got tired after walking halfway around the campus, then she went back with them.

"Daddy, Mommy, don’t worry about me. I'll definitely tell you in time if I need anything."

Although Clayton had made all the preparations, he was still very reluctant to part with his daughter who grew up riding on his shoulders.

When Clayton left, he even wiped away his tears. "If you're really unhappy here, you can come home. You don't have to study..."

Chatty and Nicole looked at him speechlessly.

Clayton was so fragile!

When they left, Clyde waved at his sister.

"Good luck, sis! You're the best and most beautiful sister ever!"

Chatty also waved at him. "Good luck, bro! You’re also the best and most handsome brother ever!"

Everyone got on the plane. Clayton watched as Chatty left, and he looked so reluctant.

"She just left like that? She didn't even look back!"

Nicole shook her head helplessly.

"She already sent us to the plane. It’s not like she will never come back again. Don't be so fragile, okay?"

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2630 -After Chatty left, Clayton sighed miserably for several days, and Nicole was speechless when she saw this.

Life in school was not so boring.

Although Chatty had been spoiled since childhood, she was not arrogant or insufferable.

Chatty was bubbly, outgoing, and clever, so she was very popular.

From time to time, she invited everyone to party in her big villa. Thus, everyone loved her even more.

Chatty also enjoyed her time alone.

She would go for a walk along the Seine and feed the pigeons in the sunset...

However, she always felt that someone was watching her whenever she was alone.

Even so, she did not think much about it. After all, her father arranged so many security personnel for her.

Maybe that stare was from a bodyguard.

Chatty walked alone in the sunset with an ice cream in hand and a limited-edition bag that her mom bought for her.

Chatty was planning to send this bag back to Mediania.

She was a young and beautiful lady with stunning features, so she was a sight to behold when she was walking on the street.

However, it was not as safe abroad compared with Mediania.

Chatty lowered her head to take a bite of the ice cream. She wanted to savor the freedom of having ice cream whenever she liked.

As a result, her right hand felt empty. A man dressed in a grayish-green shirt suddenly jumped out and rushed into the crowd in an instant.

Chatty was startled and hurriedly chased after the man.

"Thief!”

Unfortunately, this was commonplace here.

No one would intervene for a bag.

Chatty was in hot pursuit because she knew that she had bodyguards.

The man in the grayish-green shirt cursed secretly and looked back. He had a beard on his face, and he turned around to run into an alley.

However, after Chatty went into the alley, the man disappeared.

While she was standing there in a daze, someone suddenly came out from a corner.

The man rushed over to grab Chatty's neck to threaten her. However, before he could touch her neck, he was kicked away instantly.

Chatty shuddered in fear and felt a chill on her neck, but the man was on the ground.

She could not help but look back.

A tall, thin man walked over with a nonchalant gaze. He had strong features, a straight figure, and a bit of a roguish yet gentlemanly vibe.

These two opposing vibes coming from him did not feel awkward at all.

Instead, it gave Chatty a familiar feeling.

It was familiar yet strange.

The man came to Chatty and stopped in front of her. He was wearing a black shirt and pants.

He smelled of fir and pine, which reminded Chatty of the wilderness and snow-capped mountains.

The man slowly stretched out his clean hands. The veins on his arms were clearly visible, and they were like a work of art that should be displayed in an exhibition.

The thief in the grayish-green shirt stood up clutching his chest in pain. He begged for mercy, looked at the man in fear, and carefully handed over the limited-edition bag to him.

The man looked at the thief coldly and sent him off with a warning.

After the thief left, the man handed the bag to Chatty.

Chatty did not take it over. She just looked up at the person in front of me. The familiar feeling shocked her.

It felt like sunshine after a heavy rain. The rain gradually disappeared on the clean ground. It was refreshing and wet.

Chatty’s bodyguard originally planned to make a move, but this man was one step faster.

Now that the bodyguard had shown his face, there was no need to hide.

He stepped forward and nodded slightly.

"Miss."

Chatty just looked at the man without any reaction.

The man lowered his eyes slightly. Her delicate and beautiful face was reflected in his dark and glimmering eyes.

He watched her quietly for a few seconds without any malice in his eyes.

Seeing that Chatty did not take her bag from him, he handed it to her bodyguard.

He wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say it and turned to leave.

After a pause, Chatty finally spoke. "Hey, can I treat you to a cup of coffee as a show of thanks?"

She spoke in English.

Seeing his body freeze, Chatty knew that he understood

what she was saying.

Ten minutes later, they were in a coffee shop on the street. It was quite empty in the afternoon.

They chose a seat by the window and sat down.

The bodyguard went back into hiding.

Chatty sat there. When she was not smiling, her eyes were clear, and she looked like a cold beauty.

Over the past ten years, a lot has changed.

The man sitting opposite her looked a few years older than her. They were about the same age, but when he was silent, there was a frightening chill around him.

They sat down in silence for a while.

The rich aroma of the coffee permeated the air.

Chatty looked up at the man across from her.

Every time the man met her gaze, he quickly looked away.

The clear and gloomy feeling made Chatty feel a little alienated.

He was clearly not used to being stared at like that.

Chatty stirred the coffee slowly with a spoon and forgot to put sugar in it.

Just as she was about to pick it up and take a sip, she was stopped by the man in front of her.

"Wait a moment."

He added two sugar cubes to her coffee. "Okay, you can drink it now."

Chatty put down the cup and looked at him with burning eyes.

"How do you know I take my coffee with two sugar cubes?”

The man pursed his lips and hesitated for a few seconds.

"I guess that you girls generally don't like to drink black coffee, so it would taste better with sugar..."

Chatty chuckled and watched the passers-by outside the window, sitting on a bench and basking in the sun.

"Thank you for saving me.”

"You're welcome."

"Why did you save me?”

Chatty looked at him carefully. She propped her chin with one hand and looked at him gently.

She seemed to be deliberately smiling at him.

That kind of smile was very enchanting.

The man lowered his eyes and curled the corners of his lips.

"There's no reason. I just thought of saving someone in trouble."

"If it was another person, would you still save them?"

Chatty seemed to be very persistent on this issue.

The man covered up his feelings with a smile. "Of course."

There was some awkwardness on his handsome face, but he could not resist looking at her with affection.

He tried to restrain himself but to no avail.

Suddenly, Chatty stood up and stared at him for a few seconds with red eyes. Then, she turned around to leave.

She did not even take a sip of coffee.

The man chased after her helplessly. "Chatty..."

He was calling her by her nickname.

Chatty paused in her footsteps and pushed him away.

"Who told you to call me by my nickname? Aren't we strangers?”

Chatty had always been a sensible and polite kid. She had a great sense of propriety to outsiders and friends.

She would only show her temper to people who were extremely close to her.

The man looked at her deeply. He tried to smile and stretched out his hand, wanting to hug her.

"Chatty, you've really grown up, but your temper hasn't changed one bit...”

The coldness faded from his estranged eyes, which were now filled with tenderness.

Chatty pushed him away.

"Fischer Malone, how rare of you to still remember me!"

Chatty tried her best to calm herself down, but her voice trembled slightly, betraying her true feelings.

She was secretly annoyed at herself for being so weak.

Fischer pursed his lips, took a step forward, ignored her objection, and pulled her into his arms.

His fresh pine scent instantly enveloped her.

Chatty's eyes instantly turned red.

"Of course I remember you. I'm your little fish!"
