Old Master Dudley looked at Nicole for a moment.He finally said, “Then how do you think this matter can be resolved?”Nicole’s lips curled into a shallow smile, seemingly in thought.“How about this? Let Ms. York pay out of her pocket the money we spent on Harvey Sage. Then, have Ms. York record an apology video stating how we met, why she was fired from Cyndro International, and how she schemed against Stanton Corporation. If she clarifies all the incidents one by one, I’ll delete the other video.”Camron’s expression changed and did not expect Nicole to make such a request.It seemed a bit excessive.He sat there without saying anything.Nicole smiled. “If this matter just passes without a sound, then Stanton Corporation won’t be able to show our face anywhere. Let Ava explain the matters herself. I won’t add fuel to the fire. An apology video would look better than evidence of harm, right? Post the video on social media for one day. Think of it as a response to Stanton Corpo
The Dudley residence.The son and daughter of the Dudley family were present.What they feared most was that the company would be implicated. If they were blacklisted by Stanton Corporation, it would mean the end of all things.Camron sat there, looking at Ava with dark eyes.“Ava…”Ava’s heart was apprehensive, and her body was tense.“Dad, why don’t I go and apologize to Nicole myself?”Camron said, “Nicole said that you have to cover all the PR fees that Stanton Corporation spent on Harvey Sage.”Ava sighed in relief. “No problem.”“Also…” Camron paused before continuing, “You have to record an apology video. You have to admit on camera everything you did since you met her and apologize. Only then will she agree to remove that video.”Ava’s heart tightened as her face suddenly changed.“Impossible! She’s going overboard. Why should other matters be involved in this one?”The surrounding people were silent.The Dudley family’s eldest son and daughter exchanged a glance.
The other two people looked at each other, then turned and left in unison.Before leaving, they instructed the butler.“If Ms. York hasn’t moved in ten minutes, please escort her out. The company will issue a notice to inform our circle of friends that the recognition of a family member some time ago was purely a misunderstanding.”There was not much affection to speak of for this sudden sister. They had also found a lot of Ava’s scandalous affairs when they investigated privately.Letting Ava stay would just bring about disaster, so it was better to make her leave.Ava’s face turned white when she heard this. ‘Are they really giving up on me?’......Stanton Corporation.Nicole had not finished her cup of coffee when Logan brought the iPad over.“President, Ava’s apology video has been uploaded. It was quickly forwarded online and has already exceeded 100 million views. Harvey Sage was also mentioned, and our new product is also preparing to launch. I believe it’ll definitely
Nicole came to help when she was not busy. Every time, she would see both Aida and Grant setting up the venue, carefully studying the lighting and effects.The professional people around did not play any role.The day of the engagement.Although it was only an engagement, many guests were invited, and almost all the dignitaries and celebrities in West City came.However, Grant and Aida both tried their best to keep a low profile, not letting the word out in the outside world. The only people who knew were those in the circle who received invitations.Yvette and Lance came together, sent their gifts, and left, presumably because they could not bear to stay.Grant did not force them either.Aida wore a white gown that looked slightly like a wedding dress, but the difference was visible. She stood there, all alone. Her skin was glistening under the light. Her beauty was gentle and generous like a flood of clear water, giving her a kind of attraction that made it so people could not
Although Lil Michael was reluctant to part with the Pretty Lady, he would see her again later. He deliberated for half a second before letting go of Nicole’s hand and rushing in.The corners of Clayton’s mouth twitched. ‘Huh, childish!’Nicole let Lil Michael leave because she knew that if Keith was here, that man was most likely here as well.Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw Eric standing coldly and indifferently beside Keith.Nicole had not seen Eric for some time, but he still looked the same.However, it felt like the aura around him had become even more austere and compelling.Clayton stood to the side and quietly held Nicole’s hand.The warmth from his fingertips flowed into her heart, and the coldness she felt disappeared in an instant. Nicole snapped back to her senses and looked at Clayton with a smile.Then, she looked at Keith familiarly.“Mr. Ludwig, I thought you were really going to become an actor. It’s an honor for us that you took time out of your
Nicole saw that Clayton was not angry and sighed in relief. “I already promised you. Of course, I won’t suddenly change my mind.”She secretly glanced around. There was no one, so she took Clayton’s hand.“Besides, who here is more suitable than you?”Nicole’s face blushed as she spoke.Fortunately, the lighting was dim, so no one could see it clearly.Clayton smiled as his eyes became even gentler.Nicole’s change towards him grew little by little. From being unfamiliar to being closer and affectionate. Clayton felt all of it.She seemed to be getting closer to his world.This feeling was very subtle, and Clayton wondered if it was a good or bad thing.When Floyd saw Nicole and Clayton come in arm-in-arm, the expression on his face immediately became wonderful.To others, Clayton was just a business partner to Stanton Corporation.In reality, Floyd knew everything between them.Floyd did not stop them, nor did he agree to it.He wanted to let their relationship fall throu
However, before Floyd could ask, Isaac Sloan took the initiative to speak.“Chairman Stanton, I came here presumptuously because Mr. Ferguson asked me to. He wants me to tell you the secret of the Sloan family.”Floyd raised his brows and looked at Eric.Eric coughed. “Chairman Stanton, I know that Clayton and Nicole have been very close recently. I’m indeed doing this out of selfishness, but it’s also because I’m afraid that she’ll get hurt, so there are some things that I can’t tell her directly...”Floyd nodded with understanding.Then, he looked at Isaac.“I appreciate your kindness, but if it has to do with the secrets of the Sloan family, wouldn’t it be bad for an outsider like me to know about it?”The last time Isaac came to Stanton Mansion, he spoke in half-truths and half-lies. Was that not considered a secret?Floyd no longer wanted to know what he was up to.After all, according to Nicole’s description, Isaac looked civilized and harmless on the surface, but behind
Floyd was not in the mood to stand up and bid farewell to Isaac pleasantly. He sat there. His eyes were deep in thought, but no one knew what he was thinking about.Eric looked at him with a sullen and cold face.“Chairman Stanton, I asked Isaac to come over and tell you everything for Nicole’s sake. As far as I know, Clayton used his power to wipe out his past. It can’t be investigated even if you tried...”Floyd raised his eyes and looked at Eric. His voice was rough.“Thank you, Mr. Ferguson, but today is a special day, so I can’t stay here for long since I still have to greet the guests. You should go out too...”Eric’s face sank. Floyd’s reaction was a little too calm. It was not quite right.He could feel it, but he could not say it.However, Eric quickly withdrew his gaze and nodded while standing up.“Farewell.”Floyd sat in the lounge for a long while before he slowly stood up and walked out. It was hard to tell from his face, but he was forcing himself to act normall
