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
“I accidentally stumbled onto some photos of the past a few days ago. Isaac’s mother is thirty years younger than my grandfather, and she died shortly after she married my grandfather. I’ve probably never seen her before, so I wouldn’t have an impression of her.”Nicole questioned, “Are you suspecting that Isaac’s mother gave birth to him, but he’s not actually your grandfather’s child?”Clayton nodded. A faint shadow cast over his brows.“My mother...” He paused before continuing, “She left quite a few photos while she was still around. I’ve seen photos of my father when he was young, and there are also photos of him with other people. I think Isaac’s mother was among them.”As soon as Clayton’s words finished, Nicole had a shocking speculation in her heart.Her expression changed slightly.“You mean, your father might have a relationship with Isaac’s mother, who is also nominally your grandmother?”A long time passed.Clayton nodded.His expression was heavy and unpleasant.
Clayton was amused and immediately told Nicole his thoughts.“I don’t have any purpose, but they can’t kick Michael out. Michael will get what he’s owed.”Clayton could really risk everything for the sake of his younger brother who had given him warmth in his life.Now, he protected his brother’s son and everything that he had.Clayton’s eyes dimmed as he looked out the window.“It doesn’t matter how they treat me, but I want Michael to be treated properly.”Nicole frowned and paused, and her heart fell to the ground like a stone.She thought too much.How would Clayton, who had never cared about worldly possessions, be overwhelmed by hatred?A while after Nicole spoke, Clayton received a phone call.Clayton held his throbbing head and hung up the phone before coming back. “Lil Michael got into trouble at school again!”He sounded like he was grinding his teeth.Earlier, his love for Michael was sincere.Now, his frustration caused his teeth to itch.Nicole could not help
If Julie came here, that meant that things between her and Kai were going unusually smoothly.Nicole ran in happily.The butler looked at Grant coming in and let out a sigh.“It’s been a long time since the house was so lively.”Grant laughed. “It’s been hard on you.”The butler had been taking care of them in the Stanton Mansion for decades, from his childhood to adulthood. He thought of Mr. Anderson as his family.Grant smiled and waved his hand to tell the butler to come in as well.He watched the people busy themselves in the kitchen as usual.Tigger was lying obediently on Floyd’s lap, wagging its tail while listening to them talk.Floyd stroked Tigger’s fur methodically, looking at Kai opposite him like he wanted to hit someone but was forcefully holding back.Kai said, “My dear father, who’s the person who loves you most in this world? It’s me, your beloved third child!”Julie looked away in exasperation, wishing that she could just stop existing.Nicole’s footsteps
Nicole paused and nodded. “Yes, it was him.”After all, only Clayton mentioned that speculation before.Unexpectedly, the Stanton family found out this secret as well.Her heart felt like it was being weighed down by a boulder.Nicole was not that happy.She only found it ridiculous.The Sloan family was such a powerful family, and they had many close political and business relations on the surface. They looked spick and shiny, but in reality, they were so dirty and nasty.It was no wonder Quavon was so worried about Isaac’s disappearance!Kai said, “They went from brothers to being father and son? Isn’t that relationship too messy? His father won’t pop out of his grave to hit them, right?”Julie quietly tugged Kai’s shirt.“That’s not the point. With this fact, there’s finally a reason as to why the Sloan family rejects Clayton so much.”Isaac was afraid that there would be another person to compete with him for the family fortune.Isaac knew about this long ago.Kai nodd
