Quavon sighed and shook his head with a look of disappointment toward Clayton.“When I die, you’ll naturally have your share in the Sloan family. You don’t have to be so afraid that your second uncle Isaac will threaten you.”“Mr. Sloan, don’t be blinded by hatred. In Mediania, you can’t treat human life as a child’s play!”“Right. After all, he’s your father and has raised you, so you should be grateful.”“Others can’t take away what’s yours, so why do you have to be so greedy?”......The surrounding people saw this and naturally related the whole thing to the family infighting and covered up the truth.The bit that was exposed was not true.Quavon’s words of accusation humiliated Clayton.In a short period of time, the good image that Clayton accumulated was ruined.Nicole really could not stand it anymore.She stepped forward and laughed with a clear and cold voice.“If I remember correctly, at the beginning of my cooperation with Clayton, I investigated the source of h
Clayton’s words were like a bomb that dropped in calm, still water.Kidnap?Just now, personal freedom was mentioned, and now, it involved kidnapping?The rich people from Liberty were so reckless.Everyone listened with apprehension.Quavon’s face sank. “What are you talking about?”“I’ve always looked at the evidence. I’ve long prepared the evidence and was just waiting for you to come to announce it, Father.”“Clayton…”Quavon’s tone was raised with a hint of warning.Clayton paused and let out a light laugh.He raised the wine glass in his hand to make a toast.“Father, this toast is to welcome you to Mediania. When you finally calm down and decide not to hurl mud on me, we can sit down and talk again.”After saying that, Clayton tilted his head and downed the wine in one go.He then put down his glass and smiled politely at the crowd.“Please excuse me. Farewell.”After saying that, Clayton looked at Nicole with a touch of guilt in his eyes.He said softly, “I’ll w
Nicole froze. Her face sank slightly.She raised her eyebrows and had a playful smile on her face.“Chairman Sloan, normally when parents want to split up their child’s relationship, they’ll slap a check to the other half. But according to my net worth, you ought to hit me with a gold mine.”‘He wants me to break up with Clayton with a word or two? Are you kidding me? No one dares to force me to break up with Clayton.’ Nicole thought.Quavon frowned for a moment and instantly understood.“Ms. Stanton, I don’t have any discontent with you. I just feel that…”Quavon gritted his teeth. His face sank.“You might be a better match for Isaac!”For a moment, the surroundings were silent.Nicole blinked and thought she had misheard.“Isaac Sloan?”‘That idiot?’ Nicole thought.Quavon nodded.“Isaac is the rightful heir to the Sloan family. He’s wealthy and has a lot of capital. If our two families join in marriage, your future will definitely be smooth sailing, Ms. Stanton.”Nico
Nicole raised her eyes in surprise.She then calmed down.Nicole smirked and said, “Keith, you should know that a good dog doesn’t get in people’s way, right?”Keith choked.Nicole’s words were so unforgiving.What else could he say?The photos of Keith running naked were still in her hands, so she could hold them over his head for life.However, Keith thought that it was for the sake of his good friend, so he could only stand there stiffly.“Nicole, I don’t mean anything else. I just want to remind you that Clayton is not a simple person. Don’t get duped.”Nicole looked at him steadily for a few seconds and suddenly laughed.“Only an idiot won’t know how to deceive someone, but I’m willing to be duped, so what do you care?”Keith’s face changed a few times.‘He’s just embarrassing himself.’ Nicole thought.Nicole was just about to leave when she saw a tall, cold figure behind Keith gradually approaching.Her smile faded.All night long, Eric had been politely exchanging
Eric’s words were extremely humble and even a bit pitiful.If Nicole heard these words two years ago, she would have been ecstatic, but now, it just sounded ridiculous.She raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. Finally, she could confirm that she no longer had any feelings for him.Then, she spoke in a clear and cold tone.“That’s because I don’t want to regret wasting my feelings twice on the same man. That’s just worthless.”Eric’s pupils shrank fiercely. Even his heart twitched, which gave off a piercing pain.His hard, cold face was slightly stagnant. The watch on his wrist reflected a cold glint.In the next second, Eric lowered his head and ruthlessly rushed to kiss Nicole on the lips.It was as if he no longer cared for who Nicole liked.Nicole must be his and she could only be his.However, Nicole subconsciously tilted her head, so his kisses were dense and suffocating as they landed on the side of her face.Nicole used all her strength to resist, bu
Keith ran over in a panic. “Stop! Stop fighting! Clayton Sloan, I’m warning you. If something happens to Eric, you’ll be making an enemy of Ferguson Corporation. Can you afford it?”Nicole’s cold gaze shot over like an arrow. Her tone was harsh as she said, “Don’t fight if you can’t afford to lose! You even want to threaten people with money? That’s what a parvenu would do!”Keith pursed his lips. He did not expect Nicole to defend Clayton.When Eric heard this, he used even more deadly force.Their fighting situation was getting more dangerous, but neither one of them refused to let go of the other.Eric had been reckless since he was young. After being in the military, he was even more fearless.However, how could the gentlemanly Clayton fight so fiercely?He was like a whole new person.For a while, it was hard to tell who would win.Gradually, more people gathered around to check it out.Nicole coldly snorted and walked over. Her voice was cold.“Stop!” She shouted.Onl
In fact, Clayton had been keeping a more comfortable pair of shoes for Nicole in the car.Nicole immediately refused. “Of course not! How can other shoes match my outfit?”Clayton pursed his lips and did not insist on it.Girls had their persistence that could not be opposed.As soon as the two of them walked in, they felt a lot warmer.Nicole relaxed and realized that Clayton’s jacket was still draped on her.He only wore a thin shirt, and he was the injured one.Nicole was a little sad. Clayton looked at her sideways. “What’s wrong?”She reached out to take off her jacket, but Clayton hurriedly stopped her.“Wear it. I just finished a fight, so my body still feels hot.”Nicole paused a little and did not continue to take off the jacket.The nurse on duty welcomed her. “Ms. Stanton? May I ask where you are injured?”This nurse had taken care of the injured Nicole not long ago, so she recognized Nicole right away.Nicole smiled and pointed at Clayton.“Please give him a f
Clayton’s hand was extremely tight. His eyes blurred as he quietly spoke.“It’s okay, Nicole. I’m okay…”Clayton grew up in infamy as an illegitimate son. Even in the Sloan family, Clayton was just a higher-ranking illegitimate son.No one pitied him because they thought that this was the punishment he deserved as an illegitimate child.Clayton came into this world and hated the world – his vain mother, his irresponsible father, and his powerless self.He envied his cheerful peers, who were bubbly, bright, positive, and ambitious. They were everything he was jealous of.However, in the Sloan family, Clayton had to be silent.Clayton did not have to use too much effort in pretending because being silent and gentle felt the same.It was just that he had a cold-blooded indifference to everything.Isaac’s bullying and scheming were blatant, and Isaac’s hostility toward Clayton was very aggressive.When Clayton first showed his excellence in Sloan Corporation, he received a tragic
