To Clayton, the Sloan family should have stopped existing long ago.He just could not be bothered to do anything.Floyd’s eyes were dark as he nodded.“Go out. Lil N is probably waiting anxiously.”Floyd did not take a position. He straightened his clothes and walked out.Clayton pondered on Floyd’s attitude.‘Maybe Floyd didn’t care that I’m from the Sloan family? Maybe he won’t stop Nicole from being together with me.’The corners of Clayton’s lips curled up. His taut face finally relaxed as he slowly exhaled a breath.The worst was over.Nicole played with Lil Michael and Tigger upstairs for a while.After Tigger failed to upgrade itself, it fell into a state of self-reflection and was sullen and unhappy. It looked like it had suffered a blow.However, when Tigger saw Michael, it regained some of its spirit and jumped around on him, curling into a ball that was soft to touch.The butler came over to call her.“The meal is ready. The Chairman asked you to come down to ea
Nicole knew what he meant. She sat down and smiled.“I think that Eric only introduced my dad to Isaac. He probably doesn’t know about Lil Michael’s kidnapping.”Clayton raised his brows. “Why do you say that?”“Because there’s no benefit for him, and he seldom does things that aren’t self-serving. Taking Lil Michael away won’t give him any benefits and will even tarnish his reputation and affect his company’s stock price instead. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have told me that location the day after Michael’s incident.”Clayton’s eyes were deep as his lips curled.“It seems that I have to thank Mr. Ferguson then.”“That’s not necessary. You found out by yourself even if he didn’t say anything. Besides, he became Isaac’s accomplice, so he’s just trying to save himself. There’s no need to thank him.”Nicole spoke calmly.Clayton suddenly smiled. His eyes were clear and bright.“Mr. Ferguson purposely told you because he wanted you to thank him, but this is what you think instead. Are
However, Nicole was somehow drained of all her strength now. Her legs were weak, and she could barely stand as the man’s arms supported her weight.‘I’m so pathetic!’ Nicole secretly cursed herself.Her heart was beating violently until Clayton’s warm lips gently pressed onto hers, then her heart seemed to stop.She still remembered the fatal feeling when she kissed Clayton for the first time.It was happening again.His touch was gentle, and he gave her enough time to adapt.After the gentle peck, his kiss gradually grew more aggressive as he engulfed her lips and tongue as if he wanted to devour every inch of her.Nicole was in a trance as she was dominated by him. Her mind had gone blank, and even her bones were tingling inside.Her whole world became the deadly feeling that Clayton brought to her. She tried to resist it, but she became addicted instead.The two of them were immersed in their own little world when a sudden sharp cry sounded, breaking the dimensional wall of
Lil Michael was miserable. He sat there, crying and wiping his tears.He tried to act pitiful so that Clayton would give in to him.“Daddy, you’re already so old. Just find another lady. I promise that I won’t bully her, so give Pretty Lady back to me!”Even Lil Michael knew what thoughts the women had when they fluttered around Clayton.Thus, he came up with all kinds of tricks to get rid of them.Now that Lil Michael thought about it, he regretted it.Clayton saw through his motive at a glance and laughed.“She’s just coaxing you and playing with you. Why did you take it so seriously? I don’t like other ladies. I only like her! You don't have to think of ways to get my inheritance anymore. In the future, all my money will be hers to spend!”Lil Michael’s cries got even louder and sadder.He was in despair.Clayton very calmly finished the meal in front of his crying son. Lil Michael did not seem to have any intention to stop even after Clayton finished cleaning up, so Clayt
After such an embarrassing situation last night, Nicole tossed and turned on the bed until midnight before she could fall asleep.However, she was a president of a company, so she would not become so delirious just because of a kiss that she could not leave the house.Nicole promised to take Lil Michael to school with Clayton, so she postponed her morning meeting.She set an alarm clock and went out with a clear head as soon as it was time.When the Sloan father and son arrived, Nicole smiled at Clayton and knelt down to greet Lil Michael.“Good morning, new student!”Lil Michael thought of last night’s scene and felt disheartened.However, when he thought about his father’s warning earlier, Lil Michael still forced a smile no matter how bitter his heart was. The smile was formal and very perfunctory.“Good morning, Pretty Lady…”Lil Michael’s heart was still uncomfortable. ‘Pretty Lady said that she’ll wait for me to grow up. How did she suddenly fall for my old Daddy? Pretty
Clayton sent Nicole back to Stanton Corporation’s office.Nicole was catching up with the postponed meeting.J&L Corporation’s project had reached the closing stage, and there was a major breakthrough.Clayton also started to get busy with a series of procedures for their exhibition in Europe.Tucker, whom Nicole had placed in J&L Corporation, was transferred back to Stanton Corporation and temporarily assumed the role as an assistant in the finance department.Logan walked in with some documents. “President, Mr. Lincoln Zelman passed over the latest project progress. Everything went well, but the Zico Company’s hired killer’s daughter, who had leukemia, just passed away yesterday.”Nicole was silent for a few seconds.She sighed.“Forget it, let’s turn the page on this matter.”Logan nodded.Lincoln Zelman’s power would not be around for long. The anti-criminal inspection team had started to investigate Lincoln’s matter, and there would be results soon.Nicole was busy all
Nicole was too angry to be rational.“So, they’re just going to let it be? Everyone’s scolding Julie now. What did she do wrong?”Julie only abandoned a vain Roman and made Roman taste his own bitter fruit.Why should Julie have to face all this?Dominic sighed.“I understand, but it has already happened. Even if we withdraw it, it’ll be too late. The most important thing is to stop that guy from talking. Your third brother has gone out to find him. I’m now worried if someone will get hurt…”Nicole’s expression changed dramatically. She immediately hung up the phone and ran out."Logan, if there’s anything, get my big brother to deal with it. Don’t contact me if it’s not urgent.”Logan replied, “Understood.”He knew that Julie was Nicole’s best friend, so at this time, Nicole would never stay out of it.Nicole called Kai like crazy, but no one answered.With Kai’s temper, he could really beat Roman to death!She asked Dominic.“Do you know where Roman is now? Where did my
Not to mention that no one would be able to step forward to clarify for Julie, Roman’s death might even be blamed on Julie.When the time comes, Julie would not be able to rid herself of those slanderous allegations.Kai’s eyebrows twitched slightly. His Adam’s apple bobbed.He said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll kill him to avenge her!”Roman’s body trembled violently.When he heard this, Roman cowered in the corner in fear.Nicole tugged on Kai’s arm and stared at his face.“There’s no rush for that. He’ll get his comeuppance eventually. Don’t get your hands dirty. I’ll keep watch here and wait for someone to come and take him away. You should go look for Julie!”When Kai heard Julie’s name, a hint of darkness crossed his eyes.He could not bear to see this happen to Julie and felt heartbroken.Kai did not want to leave because he did not want to let the son of a b*tch Roman off the hook so simply.Nicole tugged on Kai’s arm. “Go! Don’t let Julie do something stupid!”Kai’s bod
