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
Floyd waved his hand. Everything was under his control.Nicole rested her head on Floyd’s shoulder and spoke in a choked voice.“I’m sorry for making you worry, Dad...”The Sloan family must have gone mad trying to find Isaac that they actually ran around the Stanton Mansion to try finding him.They disturbed Floyd’s peaceful life.Nicole was too careless.Floyd smiled faintly. “What haven’t I seen before? I won’t be bothered by something trivial like this. What I’m most worried about is that you’ll be involved in the Sloan family’s affairs.“Are you sure you want to continue your relationship with Clayton?”That was his true purpose in calling Nicole back.“I think that for now, you two can stay away from each other so you’re not misunderstood by others. Move back here for the time being. That way, the people outside will hesitate to do anything to you.”If there was danger, the first thing that came to Floyd’s mind was naturally to protect his daughter.Floyd would be most
“No!” Julie immediately denied.She mumbled in a small voice, “I’m just a little unused to it.”Julie was used to being an independent woman and facing all those difficulties alone.Now that there was suddenly someone standing in front of her to shield and protect her, she was naturally not used to it.Kai not only solved a lot of problems for her, but he was also sweet and mushy to her all day.However, she was unable to resist this kind of life.Julie was immersed in it and could not extricate herself.“Then take your time and get used to it. My third brother has always been clingy. He always puts on a lofty and cold persona, but as you know, he’s actually a warm and sunny tease.”Only the people closest to Kai could see this side of him.Julie hesitated for a few seconds before a smile gradually appeared on her face.What was there to worry about when she had love at her fingertips?“You’re right. I’ll just take it slow.”Nicole smiled. She was naturally happy as well wh
Nicole told Harvey very directly without beating around the bush.After all, being Stanton Corporation’s ambassador was a big role. They would not risk using a tainted artist who might even drag them down.They tried their best, but it also depended on Harvey’s luck.Harvey nodded as if he expected that.Nicole’s phone buzzed, and she clicked into the message. It was from Clayton.[I ordered lunch for you and sent it to your office. Remember to eat it…]Nicole was speechless.She replied. [I’m eating out with a friend.]Then, she sent a picture of the restaurant.Clayton asked. [Are you with a guy or girl?]He also sent an angry emoji.Nicole replied. [A guy, of course.]Clayton then sent a crying emoji.What a childish man.The corners of Nicole’s mouth could not help but curl up.Just then, Nicole suddenly heard an annoying voice coming from the doorway.“Oh my, if it isn’t Ms. Stanton? It must be fate that let us meet here...”Nicole’s smile faded, and her cold and
Ava’s eyelashes quivered, and she panicked a little.“I...”Nicole smiled. She did not give Ava a chance to explain and turned to Isaac.She spoke with a frivolous tone. “Or do you think you have nothing to worry about now that you have a new backer?”Ava’s face paled, but before she could speak, Isaac immediately spoke up to clear their relationship.“Haha... You’ve misunderstood. I’m not familiar with Ms. York. We’re only having lunch together for business.”Isaac’s words that cleared up their relationship made Ava, his female companion, very embarrassed.Nicole’s lips curved, and Isaac looked at her with a smile.“Ms. Stanton, come to me any time when you’re tired of playing with my nephew. I’d love to go out with you.”Nicole’s smile faded slightly.She rolled her eyes in her heart.“You must be joking, Mr. Sloan. You didn’t even make it to the waiting list.”Isaac raised his brows and did not say anything. Then, he moved sideways to the position inside the corridor.A
The President of Golden Sea Corporation was confused. “Ava is eating here too? Why didn’t you say so earlier?”Hayley snorted coldly. “Let’s go have lunch with her...”The man looked at her, gratified.“You finally accepted her. We’ll be a family soon, so it’s good to get along with each other...”He spoke as they walked along. He was very surprised when he saw Nicole, but before he could greet her, he was dragged away by Hayley.They sidled forward and went to the semi-concealed room in the corridor.Hayley pushed open the half-lowered bamboo shades, and two shrill women’s cries suddenly rang out one after the other.“Ah—”“Ah—”The former was Hayley.The latter was Ava.The man behind Hayley saw the situation inside and stiffened. His face flushed uglily as he pushed his daughter away and rushed in.“You b*tch! How dare you cheat on me?!”In an instant, all kinds of screams, fighting, and sounds of items shattering sounded inside...Then, Isaac crawled out with dishevel
Ava lay on the ground, twitching and trembling.“I... I was forced to. It was that man who came onto me. I didn’t want this!”The President of Golden Sea Corporation slapped Ava.“Bullsh*t! Do you think I’m blind? You clearly climbed on him yourself. You b*tch! I really was blind. You were rejected by the circle, but I still wanted to marry you even though everyone was spitting on you. Look what happened? This is how you repay me?!”Ava was dizzy from the beating.Tears and snot covered her face, making her look pitiful and miserable.“I’m devoted to you. I was wrong this time, so please forgive me. It was that man who seduced me. I just made a mistake that all women in the world would make!”The President of Golden Sea Corporation was livid.“Forgive you? I caught you red-handed and you still want me to forgive you? I must’ve been blind to take a fancy to a slut like you. We’re breaking off the engagement. Immediately! I was unlucky to have met you!”He pushed the woman wrapp
Ava stiffened, covered her face, and glared at Hayley ruthlessly.“Get lost! You have no right to speak here!”Hayley laughed softly. “I’ve never stopped my dad from finding a stepmother for me, but I refuse to accept a vixen like you as my stepmother. It’s too degrading to pick up a woman from the garbage!”Her grandmother often told her that her dad would have to marry sooner or later, so Hayley was already mentally prepared for that.However, she could not accept it if her stepmother had too different an image from what she remembered of her mother.It was simply a nightmare!Hayley turned around and left after she spoke.The waiter stood outside carefully with a jacket.Hayley looked at it and smiled. “There’s no need to give her clothes. She’s a woman who can take off her clothes at any time. She has a fetish for indecent exposure. Bill her for the damage. If she can’t afford to pay, then send the bill to Camron Dudley’s house. After all... She’s the daughter of the Dudley
