Nicole’s refusal made Isaac dissatisfied.No woman dared to show him such disrespect!This way, Isaac’s heart became even more determined to achieve his goal.His smile gradually turned cold.“You won’t do me this honor, Ms. Stanton? Besides, we’re considered acquaintances, so what’s the big deal with a glass of wine?”His words made the voices of discussion surrounding them fall silent.Everyone watched the scene quietly.Nicole sat there, cold and independent, without the slightest expression on her bright face.However, her eyes when she looked at Isaac were filled with a bone-chilling coldness.Her indifference made Isaac feel humiliated.The two sides were in a deadlock.No one gave in to the other.Isaac’s smile gradually faded, and he spoke in a playful voice.“Ms. Stanton, do you think that I’m not as good as Clayton? An illegitimate son is able to worm himself into your heart, so are you saying that respect for the Sloan family can’t compare to a bastard son?”Is
Such a shocking secret should not be spoken rashly on an occasion like this.It should play a greater role.A friend on the side saw that the situation was off and hurriedly stepped forward to mediate.“Mr. Sloan, you must have drunk too much. Why don’t you go to the side to take a rest?”“That’s right. Nicole, are you going to the washroom? Do you want me to accompany you?”“Don’t be angry, Mr. Sloan. Maybe Ms. Stanton is just saying it and doesn’t mean anything by it. If she doesn’t want to drink, we can drink instead...”......Some reckless person brought up how Nicole did not show him respect and refused to drink.Isaac could not accept that.He fiercely handed over the cup in his hand. “Sure. In that case, drink this glass of wine, Ms. Stanton. Then I’ll forget what you said earlier...”Isaac looked like he was forcing her to get out of an embarrassing situation.Nicole laughed.She looked at him coldly.She crossed her arms, and the smile on her face was extremely c
Now, Isaac only wanted to get his dignity back.Nicole heard the voice and just turned around when she felt a huge force yank her backward and push her against the wall.Although it did not hurt, the bones at her back rattled slightly.Her face paled slightly.The alcoholic fumes exhaled by Isaac made her feel sick to the stomach.“How dare you treat me like this? Don’t even think about leaving here if you don’t apologize to me today!”Nicole’s face turned extremely cold, and a chill seeped into her gaze. ‘Is he threatening me?’“Isaac Sloan, let go of Nicole!”Yvette shouted behind him.The next second, Nicole grabbed one of Isaac’s arms and folded it back. When she heard the sound of his arm dislocating, she aimed a violent kick toward his lower body.Isaac was kicked to the opposite wall. His face was pale and drenched in a cold sweat.The two people’s situation flipped in the blink of an eye.Nicole chuckled. “I wondered what skills you had, but it seems you have none.”
The sound of screaming, muffled grunts, and cursing in pain intertwined. At that moment, it was unclear whether Isaac was cursing Clayton or begging for mercy.Yvette watched the show for a while before she got bored.“Isaac doesn’t even know how to fight. How can he be so arrogant?”At least in their circle, every rich kid knew at least a trick or two.Whether it was to pick up girls or for self-defense, neither were neglected.Nicole laughed. “Isaac grew up with bodyguards following him, so there was no need for martial arts.”Yvette snorted. “So, now he’ll just get beaten up.”Nicole put away her smile and looked at Clayton, who was sitting on Isaac.Clayton’s usually gentle and elegant demeanor was no longer visible. He looked like a long-dormant beast that was subduing its prey.His eyes were scarlet and cold without the faintest ripple of emotion.This side of Clayton Sloan was unfamiliar.It made Nicole’s heart ache.Although Isaac and Clayton were both from the Sloa
Quavon said, “Clayton didn’t even let anyone watch you. Even if the front door was locked, the door on the second floor could be opened. Was it so difficult to jump out and ask for help?”Isaac would not die by jumping off the second floor.He clearly had many opportunities to escape, but he did not.Isaac just stubbornly ate moldy bread and waited for someone to rescue him.It was ridiculous.Clayton did not waste any energy on Isaac. However, Isaac one-sidedly thought that Clayton deliberately locked him up there to kill him.Isaac plotted Clayton’s death countless times and resented him.What was the result?Isaac did not leave, but not because he was unable to.This incident was simply the greatest shame of his life!It was because of this matter that Quavon forbade him to retaliate against Clayton.Clayton did not consider Isaac an opponent at all.......Back at the apartment, Nicole wanted to see Clayton go in first, but Clayton insisted on seeing her go in.The tw
Clayton was rich and talented.However, after he left the Sloan family, he lost those advantages.Did Clayton want to marry Nicole?Absolutely impossible!Quavon was an experienced person and knew this better than anyone.Isaac’s expression eased, but his heart was still furious.“Then we should seize the opportunity! Nicole doesn’t have a good impression of me. We can’t let Clayton take this chance.”“We can’t even get into the Stanton Mansion. What’s the use of being anxious?”Quavon was a little annoyed.Isaac was quite clever at first, but in recent years, he became a little unreasonable in the Sloan family.Isaac’s face changed.He looked at Quavon with somewhat complex eyes.“Brother, you don’t think that since Clayton is your son, he’ll be of help to the Sloan family just the same if he marries Nicole, right?”He said the word “brother” through gritted teeth.Quavon’s face changed slightly, and his gaze darkened as he looked at Isaac.“What are you saying?”His e
Mitchell stood by the side silently.Eric had been in a good mood when he came, but in less than one minute, he was shrouded in a dense chill.The Sloan family was really capable.The secretary ran over in a panic.“I’m sorry for making you wait, Mr. Ferguson. Please come in...”Eric’s complexion recovered quickly. He followed the secretary into Quavon’s office with a powerful aura around him.Quavon immediately stood up to greet Eric.“Welcome, Mr. Ferguson. I didn’t expect something to come up and delay our appointment. My apologies.”Eric nodded with an indifferent face.“Chairman Sloan, congratulations on Isaac’s freedom. He must be very busy now.”"He’s fine. Isaac is still young, so he’s not as earnest as others. He still needs time to hone his skills.”Eric raised his eyes expressionlessly. His tone was cold.“Is everything ready?”Quavon nodded hurriedly.“Yes, Sloan Corporation intends to place its first property in Atlanta. Construction has already started. The
Ferguson Corporation.Mitchell was a little confused. Eric had originally gone to sign the contract, so why did he change his mind at the last moment?Perhaps it had something to do with what Isaac said.Even Isaac had started to set his eyes on Nicole.Isaac really did not know his place.Eric sat in his chair with a cold face.“Has Sloan Corporation’s registration data been sent to the relevant departments?”Mitchell nodded.“Yes, I heard that the preparations have already started, and the soonest they’ll get the permit is in half a year. During this period, they probably won’t give up and will do a lot of preliminary preparations.”Eric’s gaze was sullen and cold as he snorted lightly.“Dream on!”Mitchell raised his eyes cautiously and looked at Eric.“President, are we not going to sign with them?”Eric’s face was expressionless, and he spoke in a cold voice.“No. They won’t be able to spread their roots smoothly anyway, and I don’t plan on letting them do so.”Mitc
