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
Quavon Sloan said, “Isaac was indeed too careless. He thought that he didn’t have to worry about his safety in Mediania. I often cautioned him to be on his guard against people, but he’s young and reckless, which made him forget that.”The corners of Eric’s lips twitched as he exhaled a smoke ring. He looked ahead indifferently and seemed to be immersed in his own world.Eric did not listen to what Quavon said.Quavon suppressed the impatience in his heart and took a deep breath.“Mr. Ferguson, Isaac’s disappearance must have something to do with Clayton. Of course, we still have to rely on you here in Mediania. Could you please help...?”Eric turned his head. His gaze was indifferent.“Help? What’s in it for me?”His voice was low and slow.It had the shrewdness and calculative tone of a businessman.A big piece of pie like the Sloan family was offered to him on a silver platter. It would seem unjustified not to take a cut.Quavon paused, not expecting Eric to be so direct.
Eric was pushed out in a wheelchair by a doctor. The bruises on his face were coated with a thick layer of medicine. His forehead was wrapped in gauze, and even his arms were bandaged.He looked fine when he went in, so why did he come out sitting in a wheelchair?Keith was instantly shocked. ‘Isn’t Eric being a little too dramatic? I told him to get a normal checkup, not to check for terminal illness!’Before Keith could say anything, the nurses not far away discussed in a low voice.“Wasn’t Ms. Stanton just here? Was that guy beside Ms. Stanton, her boyfriend?”“Yup, they look so loving. Her boyfriend only got a small injury, but she was so distraught that she almost cried in public...”“They look so good together! Her boyfriend is so handsome too. I’m so envious!”......Keith’s expression changed, but it was already too late for him to try to stop them.The rest of Eric’s face which had not been coated with salve turned ashen and ugly.Eric stood up abruptly and tore off
The next day.In Stanton Corporation.9:00 am.Nicole went back to her office after the meeting.Logan followed her and hesitated to speak.Nicole smiled. “If you have something to say, just say it.”Logan said, “Chairman Sloan’s actions here in Mediania are quite excessive. It seems like he’s looking for Isaac Sloan. He used a lot of network resources, and many people probed me indirectly on whether I knew of Isaac’s whereabouts.”Nicole was silent for a few seconds before smiling.“He managed to get all the gentry in Atlanta to mobilize their connections. It seems like Quavon is really a big shot.”“Ferguson Corporation is also finding Isaac secretly.”Logan looked at her and pondered for a moment before speaking.“We’ll have to be on our guard if Ferguson Corporation allies with the Sloan family.”Nicole’s eyes darkened slightly.Maybe it was because the enemy of an enemy is a friend.Ferguson Corporation had been involved in a wide range of industries in the past few
Yvette lifted her eyelids. No one would recommend something that was not worth at least a couple million.Nicole closed her eyes and hummed lazily, not even bothering to ask the price.The masseur kneeled to the side in well-practiced movements and started to prepare for work.Her technique was very skillful, and her massage was very comfortable.They felt like they were immersed in a beautiful dream.There was a feeling of drowsiness.By the end, they were lying quietly.Nicole’s phone suddenly rang, startling them awake.The masseur to the side quickly brought Nicole’s phone over.Nicole looked at it and saw that it was from Logan.She answered it, said a few words, and hung up.Yvette stretched her back and felt that this new product was really good.Nicole also stood up. “How do you feel now?”Yvette thought for a moment. “Like I’m wrapped in money!”Nicole was stunned before laughing. “That’s true.”The two of them went to get changed. Nicole’s phone rang again.Th
When Nicole looked up, Clayton had already walked over with an extremely gentle smile on his face. His eyes when he looked at her were filled with warmth and fondness.The corners of Yvette’s mouth twitched. She did not expect him to come so coincidentally.“Take care of the bill, Mr. Sloan!”Clayton nodded and took out his card, handing it over to the store manager at the side.“This is something I should do. You should call me more often for this kind of thing in the future.”Yvette’s smile stiffened.On the contrary, Nicole’s smile only deepened, and she did not stop him.“Then you have to work hard, Mr. Sloan!”Clayton nodded solemnly, a hint of joy surfacing on his handsome face.“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of all the bills from now on.”That was exactly what he wanted.The store manager finished swiping the card and brought it back to Clayton. “The total was four million and seventy thousand dollars. Please come again, honored guests.”Nicole nodded. After all, they
