Floyd scolded him furiously. “The difference between the two of you is too big. One is a genius, but the other is an idiot!”Kai was indignant.“Dad, didn’t you share my thoughts too?”“Bullsh*t!”......In the room.Even the quiet sound of breathing became lighter.Nicole looked at Clayton. His features were cold, and the familiar warmth diminished.She reached her hand out, and Clayton went over to hold it tightly as if he never wanted to let go again.“Nicole. Baby, I’m so sorry...”He suddenly hugged her tightly.The taut string in his chest finally snapped.He was really about to break down, especially when he heard Logan say that Nicole went out to find him.That feeling was like his entire world went dark.Nicole patted him twice and smiled.“It’s okay.”There was a pause.She could not help but ask, “Did you find that person?”Clayton was speechless.He struggled to pull himself out of his sad mood.Looking at Nicole’s vibrant appearance, Clayton was also re
Nicole frowned. Before she could speak, Clayton spoke up in a cold voice.“No, Old Master Leonard probably knows about this matter. He also knows that Autumn found that reporter. He just indulged her, but the one who set fire to the warehouse isn’t him.”“Then who is it?”Kai asked.“It’s Quavon.”Clayton’s face visibly stiffened when he mentioned that name.The room was silent for a moment.Floyd’s eyes darkened.“Quavon Sloan is here? Your father?”Clayton nodded. His eyes could not help but turn to look at the dumbfounded Nicole.“I went to find that person who had been sneaking around. They led me to a corner, and someone knocked me out from behind. They came prepared.”In an instant.Floyd became wary.His face also became grim.“You saw him?”Clayton nodded.“He found out the truth behind Isaac’s paralysis, so he secretly came here.”That was why not even Eric Ferguson, who was in Liberty, knew that Quavon came to Mediania.It was evident that Quavon’s power was
Clayton smiled.“Don’t worry. I won’t be that stupid.”He went downstairs.Clayton saw that the butler was asking the servants to set the table.“Clayton, have dinner before you leave.”Floyd spoke from the living room.Kai narrowed his eyes. “You’re finally willing to leave?”A pillow was thrown at Kai’s head, followed by a warning look.Kai closed his mouth.Clayton smiled. “I’m relieved that Nicole is fine. I still have some things to take care of.”Floyd nodded. “Alright.”Clayton said, “I’ll take my leave.”Floyd paused. “Clayton, Nicole’s incident has nothing to do with you, so don’t blame yourself. We know how you feel about Nicole. As long as she’s doing well, we won’t care about anything else.”Clayton’s expression changed a few times. He could hear the meaning of Floyd’s words.The corners of his lips curled up, and Clayton nodded slightly before silently lifting his feet to leave.Kai narrowed his eyes. “You really don’t care?”Floyd looked at Kai.Without s
When Jacob saw that Nicole was fine, he really wanted to burrow through the lens.Everyone knew that since Grant came to Sand City, Grant’s style and methods were completely different from Nicole’s.When Nicole got angry, it was just pure anger.When she scolded someone severely, she would probably not stay angry for long.It was when she hid a dagger in her smile that meant she was truly angry.However, as long as Jacob did not cross the line, Nicole would generally turn a blind eye.As for Grant, his thunderous style could torture a person to death. Just one look from Grant could make someone too scared to say anything.There were no second chances.After just a few days, Jacob had a feeling that he would not be able to continue living for long.Nicole smiled and blinked at the screen.“Mr. Cook, did you dye your hair? Why is it all white now?”At that mention, Jacob wanted to shave his hair bald.Since Nicole’s accident, Jacob did not even dare to get a full night’s slee
Nicole smiled and patted Floyd’s arm.“With Old Master Leonard’s power in Sand City, he’s already considered to have lowered his head by personally going to pick Grant up. He’s doing this to show us. In fact, it’s not that easy. He’s already at this age, but he was pulled down by Autumn like this. If word were to spread, he'd become a joke in Sand City...”“So what? He deserves it.”Floyd sneered.“We showed him respect but he refused it and even took the initiative to provoke you. His turf is only what the Leonard family has. Does he really think that he can rest easy like that?”Nicole saw his anger and smiled before looking at Grant.“Hear that, Big Brother? You have to vent my anger on my behalf over there. Don’t bother even if he backs down. Even if he kneels and begs for mercy, you have to scare him a little!”Floyd nodded repeatedly. “That’s right, we can’t let him off!”Grant rubbed his temples helplessly. His eyes flashed with a sharp and icy look.“Fine. We’ve alread
Nicole nodded.Grant frowned.“We didn’t get any news that he came.”Nicole said, “It’s not just us. Even Eric who’s in Liberty doesn’t know, and that was right under his nose. Quavon’s power can’t be underestimated. Quavon’s men lit that fire.”Grant’s expression turned several degrees colder. His eyes exuded a cold chill.“He already knows. He came here on purpose to find you. He wanted to catch you off guard and cause an accident, but he didn’t expect you to get away...”Nicole nodded. For a while, everyone’s hearts were heavy.She was not afraid of the future.However, there would always be a knife hanging overhead, and it would always be uncomfortable to think about.It was better to solve this matter as soon as possible.There were a few moments of silence.No one spoke.Grant took the lead to break the silence. “I’ll tell Luca to go back immediately and follow you.”Floyd nodded and expressed his agreement.Nicole smiled, not minding either way.However, she was a
However, there were no notifications from Clayton. There was not a single message or phone call!That was too strange.Nicole frowned. This simply could not have happened before. She thought, ‘Maybe he just got back and has too much work to do that he can’t finish?’Nicole finished her shower and pondered, wondering if he was already asleep.She decided to send him a message. [I’m going to sleep. Goodnight!]Clayton replied before she could close her eyes. [Goodnight. Sweet dreams!]Nicole looked at the reply for a long time before her mood gradually calmed down.She turned off the phone and went to sleep.Early the next morning, Nicole called Logan.Since she came back, Logan naturally followed her back as well.Logan found information about Sloan Corporation and sent it to her. It was the latest news, and everything was very detailed.He followed Nicole to the study as soon as he arrived.The butler wanted to send some refreshments upstairs but was stopped by Floyd.The
Every strand of Tigger’s fur showed his rejection.Tigger did not want to see that lunatic Molly Stewart!Nicole smiled and went downstairs.The phone just so happened to ring.Nicole went down and picked it up.“Hello, who is this?”The other party was silent for a few seconds before speaking in a gruff tone.“Ms. Stanton, it’s been a long time.”Nicole froze. The smile at the corners of her lips faded, and her eyes became cold.“Chairman Sloan?”“Yes, Ms. Stanton. Are you feeling better?”There were deep meanings in his words.Nicole heard it.He hoped that she would die quickly, right?She smiled. “I’m much better, thanks to you. I can still live for a few more decades...”Quavon was silent for a few seconds.He was probably furious.“Don’t be too arrogant, girl. You rely on the little power your family has to cause trouble everywhere. Did your father not teach you to tuck your tail between your legs when you go out?”His tone was hoarse and low as he suppressed hi
