Chapter 330 Nolan Is The Most Pitiful One
Coco nodded in satisfaction and looked at Jasmine. "Jasmine, The little guy and Justin are both at home. Let Ethan know that once you're done, head straight to the Cunninghams. It's time to get off work. I'll take you to my place."
Coco's voice to Jasmine was extremely gentle.
Jasmine was feeling a bit embarrassed and worried about causing trouble. "Ethan said he would come pick me up."
"Let him come directly to my house," Coco said, looking expectantly ather.
Jasmine couldn't refuse all of a sudden. After all, it was her call that brought Coco over. "Okay."
Nolan looked deeply at his mother, then glanced at Jasmine.
Something didn’t 't feel right.
He hadn't noticed before, but now, looking closely, Jasmine and Coco look somewhat alike.
Furrowing his brows, Nolan was startled by his thoughts.
It was impossible.
Annabelle was his sister.
Jasmine was naturally likable.
"Don't think just because my mom likes you, you can take advantage of her affection." As Coco stepped into the elevator, Nolan's voice lowered, his tone jealous, as he issued a threat.
Jasmine didn't say anything.
Nolan warned Jasmine again, "Don't let me catch you with any ulterior motives. For example, trying to sow discord between me and my family."
Jasmine still didn't say anything.
Nolan was a bit angry. He waited for Jasmine to follow Coco off the elevator before turning to look at his secretary. "Have someone keep an eye on Jasmine and investigate her."
After taking two steps, Nolan spoke again, "What's new with Sophia and William recently?"
"They were very affectionate, always holding hands wherever they went, in that old house in Silverlight City, seemingly with no intention of leaving."
Nolan smirked, "Are they planning to settle down in Silverlight City?"
'How does he still have the nerve to return to Silverlight City?'
"Staring at Sophia and Luna."
Nolan knew that Sophia would need to be more well-behaved. The recent period of good behavior was just a facade.
Estimating, she was figuring out how to have some fun.
The Cunningham family.
Annabelle returned from the Douglas Group wanting to take advantage of these days to strengthen her relationship with Coco.
Not sure if it was just Annabelle's illusion, but she always felt that Coco was not affectionate toward her.
Could it be that a mother and daughter who haven't seen each other in over twenty years would act like this?
"Mom, I'm back." Annabelle came back from outside and saw Coco, Jasmine, and Justin, the little guy, chatting and laughing.
Annabelle's heart tightened, sensing a bad premonition.
'I always felt they were particularly harmonious when they were together.' she brooded.
Her palms were a bit sweaty, and Annabelle tentatively spoke up, "Mom? Jasmine is here."
Coco's expression changed but quickly returned to affectionate. "Annabelle, you are back. Come sit down."
Annabelle walked over and wanted to sit next to Coco.
Justin and The little guy were on one side. She couldn't get close.
"Nolan bullied Jasmine at the company, repeatedly rejecting her proposals even though there was nothing wrong with them. Jasmine, feeling upset, called me, and I brought her back to comfort her," Coco explained.
Annabelle smiled, realizing that Nolan was becoming guarded toward Jasmine.
"Jasmine, you go play with the kids first. Annabelle and I have something to discuss," Coco said as he stood up, took Annabelle's hand, and affectionately led her to the study.
Edward was also there when Coco and Annabelle entered. He took off his glasses and closed his laptop.
"Annabelle, it's been a while since you returned, but Willian still refuses to release the shares. I am very angry," Coco said angrily.
Annabelle sighed in relief when she saw that Coco was going to raise the issue of shares, realizing that she had been overthinking things.
"Mom, Mom, if Dad refuses to give it, forget it," Annabelle said, looking dejected.
"No, he can't refuse; that belongs to you!" Coco said angrily, "Annabelle, you can't be too timid. Some things that belong to you must be fought for."
Annabelle sighed. "How should I bring it up to him?"
"You are his daughter, after all. Go ask him and see what he says," Coco instructed Annabelle to ask for it herself. Let's try asking nicely first. If he gives it to you, then it's fine. If he refuses, Mom will figure something out, and Mom will go ask for you."
Annabelle was deeply moved, and her eyes turned red. "Mom, you still spoil me."
Coco comforted Annabelle in her arms. "Annabelle, you are my only daughter. If I don't spoil you, who will I spoil? Today is Sophia's birthday. He and Sophia must be at home. Take a gift over there, mention it to him, and see his reaction."
Annabelle nodded.
Coco repeatedly urged, “Don't get angry with him. "
Annabelle nodded with a smile. "Mom, I won't be angry with him. He's not nice to you so that I won't be nice to him either. I need my mom, that's all."
Coco wiped away her tears. "Good child."
Sent Annabelle away, Coco turning around. Her expression changed instantly.
'Sophia had Annabelle pretend to be my daughter, all for the sake of shares. But considering my knowledge of William, he wouldn't easily give up his shares.
'Let them torture each other, fighting for shares.
'If Sophia gets too obsessed with the stock issue and keeps asking William about it, William will also become suspicious.
'Although Willian was a jerk, he was not a fool.' she pondered.
"Mom, do you want Sophia and Annabelle to..." Edward stood by the window and asked.
"They wanted to scheme against us, so we decided to treat them the same way they treated us," Coco said in a low voice.
"Sophia went to great lengths to acquire the Cunninghams’ shares. She also knew that relying on William, a fickle man, was utterly unreliable," Edward sneered.
"She had been scheming for so many years, and what she wanted was not an old man like Willian," Coco snorted coldly.
Willian thought Sophia was deeply in love with him, willing to do anything, not caring about reputation, and loving only him.
"Being misled by fairies for just two moments, one loses all sense of perspective," Coco said with bitterness.
'Over the years, I gave birth to four children for William. I thought my tolerance and sacrifices could make William return to the family, come back to the children, and give them a complete home.
'I didn't even expect William to love her wholeheartedly, as long as William can fulfill the role of a good father and provide the children with a complete nuclear family.
'And what about him? What did he bring to me?
'My daughter went missing for so many years and suffered a lot outside.
'My sacrifices for this family felt like a joke.' Coco thought.
"Annabelle left, Jasmine is still at home, Mom, cheer up," Edward comforted.
Coco nodded. "Finally got rid of the counterfeit goods. Jasmine is truly impeccable."
Edward nodded with a smile. "Yes, yes, Jasmine was the angel that god sent back to Mom."
Coco snorted. "Nolan, that fool, must have been bewitched by Annabelle. Among all of you, he's the most like William, usually very clever but acts foolish around women."
Edward chuckled. "Mom, if he hadn't been so foolish, Annabelle, such a discerning person, would have noticed long ago. How are we going to continue playing this game with them?"
"But isn't it a bit mean to bully Nolan like this?" Coco still spoiled her son a little.
She knew Nolan. If Nolan knew Jasmine was his sister, he would go to great lengths to treat her well.
He needed to be clearer about the truth.
Whoever bullied Jasmine before let him atone for it in the future. Edward was really bad.
He looked forward to the day when the truth would be revealed. How did Nolan ask Jasmine for forgiveness?
Thinking about that scene, Edward just wanted to laugh. "Mom, don't worry. We all know Nolan. He has a sharp tongue; he doesn't have any ill intentions towards Jasmine."
