Chapter 1216 An Interesting Incident
Eric’s voice was deep and hoarse.Eric rubbed his temples to wake himself up.Mitchell did not speak again.Ever since Eric met Nicole here, he had started to act strange.An hour later.Someone suddenly knocked on the car door.Eric, who was resting with his eyes closed, jolted awake and looked at Mitchell.Mitchell said, “It’s Walter Galloway, the son of President Galloway. You met him several times at reception parties.”Eric would not remember the names of people with no reputations no matter how many times they met.Many people wanted to get to know Eric, and there would always be people coming up to introduce themselves to him during parties. Eric would just smile and brush them off.Eric nodded. He was recently talking to President Galloway about a partnership, so it was best to be patient with his son.Mitchell got out of the car and greeted Young Master Galloway with a smile.“Mr. Galloway, what a coincidence. What are you doing here?”Walter’s gestures were that
Chapter 1217 She-Devil
Walter laughed and looked at Mitchell.“What’s the rush? The people finally cleared the area, so I don’t know about the rest, but Mr. Sloan probably didn’t succeed. After all, there were so many people. She was like a she-devil, so anyone would be scared to death!”Mitchell’s face changed a few times. His throat was tense.He slowly shifted his gaze to Eric.Eric’s entire aura had changed. It was extremely cold and enveloped the surroundings. Anyone could see that something was wrong.Eric looked at Mitchell and said very calmly, “Go and check what happened last night.”Mitchell immediately nodded. “Yes, sir.”Mitchell looked at Walter and smiled. “Mr. Galloway, thank you for telling us this. Mr. Ferguson still has work to do, so...”Walter immediately understood.“Mr. Ferguson, I talked too much and delayed your time. Let’s get together again sometime if you don’t mind.”Eric nodded faintly. “Goodbye.”If one listened carefully, one could hear the restraint and hoarseness i
Chapter 1218 It’s Nothing Much
Clayton caught Nicole firmly and smiled.The two of them embraced each other tightly, neither letting go.Nicole’s eyes stung as she sighed.“It hasn’t even been a day, and I already miss you.”Clayton hugged her a little tighter. He gently patted Nicole’s back and stroked her hair.“Me too.” His voice was low, husky, and warm.They did not notice that the people to the side had been waiting for a long time. The man finally could not wait any longer and cleared his throat loudly.Nicole froze faintly and let go. Grant stood there with a cold and solemn gaze and an indifferent expression.“Big Brother?”Aida was also standing next to him. She waved her hand gently.“Lil N...”Grant rolled his eyes. “We’ve been standing here since the beginning. You only see us now?!”Aida could not help but laugh.Nicole frowned and looked at Clayton.“I... I thought that Clayton came alone…”Unexpectedly, Grant was here with Aida too.Nicole instantly felt a little embarrassed.They hu
Chapter 1219 Visit
Nicole raised her brows and looked at him with a smile.‘Nervous? It’s your dream to meet my family officially…’Clayton looked at her helplessly and seemed a bit unprepared, but he could not hide now.Grant glanced at Nicole, who was shooting looks at Clayton with a good-for-nothing expression. He wondered if Nicole was really his sister.He pulled Aida’s hand and left, unable to stay and watch them communicate silently anymore.Nicole happily went over to take Clayton’s arm. “Let’s go...”Clayton was concerned that Grant was in front of them, so he did not dare to be too reckless.He tried to get her to let go.However, Nicole refused and deliberately held him. Her eyes curved into a smile.Behind them, Logan finally sighed in relief.As long as they were back, Nicole would be safe.In the car.Grant glanced at Logan behind them. “You go back and rest first. Just go straight to the office tomorrow.”Logan nodded and looked at Nicole. “Alright.”Nicole paused.“Logan, r
Chapter 1220 Celebrate
Floyd smiled and nodded before walking in with Clayton.Nicole was left behind.The butler ran over happily.“Ms. Stanton, what would you like to eat? Shall I have the kitchen make your favorite dishes and dessert at noon?”Nicole sighed and immediately nodded as she touched her stomach.“I left in a hurry and didn’t eat much for breakfast, so I’m really quite hungry.”The food on the plane was not great. She was also nauseous and did not have an appetite.“How could you not have eaten breakfast? I’ll get you some snacks to eat first.”After the butler finished speaking, he immediately disappeared with the others.Nicole walked in lazily and saw that Grant had already come back downstairs after changing his clothes. Aida was watching the maids work and helped them to make some drinks.Clayton and Floyd were exchanging pleasantries in the living room.Nicole felt like something was missing.After Kai left, there was no one to pick on.Floyd glanced at Nicole.“What are you
Chapter 1221 Heartache
Floyd’s attitude towards Clayton and Nicole seemed completely different.Nicole pursed her lips.She was a little speechless. “Dad, since you said that, don’t go back on your word in the future!”Floyd glared at Nicole.“You have no say in that! Answer my question properly.”There were countless ways to solve the problem quietly. Why did Nicole send Isaac back?Nicole’s lips curled up.“It’s to provoke them. I want to let the Sloan family know about this. I want them to watch as Isaac dies. Does that scumbag think that I’ll be afraid of him?”Grant looked up and said nothing.Floyd also remained silent.Nicole did it on purpose, not recklessly.Clayton paused and spoke quickly.“Yes, if Isaac disappears without a trace, the Sloan family would definitely call the police or even contact intelligence services. The matter will just blow up then. However, what Nicole did makes everyone think that it’s a private feud. The police may not be willing to meddle in this matter.”Floy
Chapter 1222 Fawning Nicole
Clayton stated those words that should have been a very tragic experience like they were mere facts.However, his casual attitude caught the others by surprise.Nicole looked at Clayton and felt heartbroken.Nicole threw Isaac to the door of the Sloan family residence like she was tossing out a bag of garbage because she wanted to tell the Sloan family that Isaac was useless.She just wanted to vent her anger.More than that, she wanted to vent for Clayton.Why should such a good person like him be abandoned and scorned by the Sloan family?Grant’s eyes sank slightly. His thin lips were pursed. He seemed to be thinking of something.Floyd reacted very quickly and looked at Clayton with sympathy, feeling genuine heartbreak for him.“It’s been hard on you, Clayton. They’ll definitely find out about us, but they can’t reach us here. Grant still has influence in the business world, so there’s no need to worry. In private, I’ll also assign a few more bodyguards for Nicole’s safety.
Chapter 1223 First Place From Behind
When mentioning the past, Floyd had a rare and warm smile on his face.Nicole stood there in embarrassment.“You must’ve remembered wrongly, Dad. I’ve never gotten bad grades before!”Grant snorted in disdain.“Before I tutored you, you were definitely the first place in class, counting backward, of course.”Grant exposed her unceremoniously.Nicole was speechless. ‘Did he have to do that? Are we really family? Why do we have to hurt each other? No, why did they have to hurt me?!’Clayton could not help but laugh. His eyes when he looked at Nicole became gentler and curious.It was such a nice story. He wanted to know more.Outsiders saw Nicole as excellent and perfect, but she had bad grades before?After dessert, there was still a while before lunch.Floyd could not rest assured and called Grant to the study to talk.Although Nicole could hold her own in the business world, there were some shady areas that they had never let her touch.Thus, Grant had to stand out instea
