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
Kai even laughed at Clayton several times and ridiculed him privately to Maverick, wondering if Nicole was done fooling around with Clayton and wanted to break up.Maverick did not answer.It was only when Kai could not get through the phone with Nicole that he felt his position was even worse than Clayton’s.What a slap in the face!Floyd just comforted Clayton and told him not to think too much. It was normal for Nicole to be busy. After all, Grant was not around, so there was a mess of things waiting for her to deal with.Clayton could only smile and leave.One week later.The stock market saw an explosive plunge.Some of the stockholders in Liberty lost money in this turmoil and almost lost their entire fortunes.This led to people mass selling to protect their capital.Now, there were already 90% of people who could not even keep their capital.Everyone had been looking for the cause of the stock market plunge, and a piece of insider information suddenly circulated.Th
Autumn had been living under the fear of Nicole's counterattack against her at any moment.She was afraid of the moment when Nicole would remember her.However, Autumn still obediently answered “yes” and watched Quavon leave.As soon as Quavon arrived at the airport, several people in plain clothes immediately surrounded him.Quavon looked at them warily and remained silent.Before long, the crisp and loud sound of high heels rang out.Nicole wore a light-colored trench coat which accentuated her slender and beautiful figure. Her facial features were bright as she smiled.As she stood there, Quavon’s expression suddenly became a little tense.Quavon did not know why, but he just felt nervous. The woman’s aura was very powerful. He would not be wrong after so many years of meeting people. Although her smile was gentle and quiet, there was not a trace of warmth in those eyes.The two men following behind Quavon only reacted as an afterthought.They stepped up and tried to pro
Nicole finished speaking and curled her lips. She took a step back and gently reached out.“Go board the plane...”Quavon’s lips twitched. The veins at the corners of his forehead bulged.He wanted to kill this woman, but he simply did not have the power.On the contrary, it was easy for Nicole to get rid of him, who had secretly come over to Mediania.“Ms. Stanton, I underestimated you. But don’t forget that a Sloan is still by your side.”Quavon gritted his teeth and reminded her.He wanted to irritate Nicole and did not want Clayton to get together with her.If Clayton and Nicole were together, they would be unstoppable.It would do Quavon no good and only cause him harm.Hearing that, Nicole raised her brows and smiled.“Chairman Sloan, do you know why I didn’t get you killed while you were here?”Nicole’s voice was very pleasant and gentle, but the words she uttered were extraordinarily harsh and intimidating.Quavon’s face changed.“Because I don’t want Clayton to h
Now that things had come to this, it was time to rethink.Quavon knew that he underestimated Nicole. He also underestimated Clayton.He turned around coldly and left.Nicole’s men did not stop him.Seeing Quavon enter the boarding gate, Nicole turned her head. “Why are you...”Before Nicole could finish speaking, Clayton’s hand suddenly rested on her shoulder. When he got close, she smelled the warm and familiar faint fragrance of his body.His warm lips gently landed on her forehead, and Nicole felt as if she was electrocuted. Her heart trembled violently.Her heart, which had cooled these days, suddenly thumped and warmed up.Her expression subconsciously softened.However, the next second, the airport announced for the flight attendants to board the plane.Clayton let go of her and looked at her with a deep gaze.“I’m going to take this flight back to Liberty. I’ll talk to you when I get back.”Nicole looked at him in shock.“So sudden?”Clayton nodded. The corners of
Nicole looked up at him, but Clayton only smiled and lifted his feet to walk to the boarding gate.Only after watching Clayton’s back disappear did Nicole quietly return to her senses.Since things had started, it was impossible to stop midway.There must be a conclusion for this matter.After sorting her thoughts, Nicole instantly regained her cool and calm.Nicole turned around.Autumn stood there.Their eyes met, and Autumn very clearly avoided her gaze for a moment.Nicole smirked. “Ms. Ferguson, if you really want to follow, I can help you.”Autumn froze.At once, Autumn was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground.She understood very well what Nicole meant.No matter how much Autumn was infatuated with Clayton, Autumn would not be able to follow him on the flight after seeing Clayton being so lovey-dovey with Nicole.It would just look as if she was too eager.“There’s no need. I’m just here to see Chairman Sloan off.”Autumn bit her lower lip and
Quavon was too careless. He had not noticed all this time.Clayton smiled. “I know that you probably don’t want to see me, so I switched my first-class ticket to business-class to avoid meeting you.”Quavon snorted coldly. “You’re really doing this for that woman. Fine, I want to see how long you can keep this up!”Quavon lowered his head and looked down at his watch. He spoke in a calm voice.“Chairman Sloan, I’ve calculated the accounts for you. As of now, Sloan Corporation hasn’t made any response to the stock market. Their stocks have been falling continuously and are about to fall out of line. You’ll have to pay $10 million in sunk costs for every minute of delay.”Clayton described casually. He then smiled and offered.“By the way, this field is my specialty, so if you need help, please contact my assistant to make an appointment for you. Although I’ll still refuse you, I don’t mind giving you a hint.”Quavon was surprised by Clayton’s words. His expression became extremel
Sloan Corporation’s reaction was tantamount to rubbing salt into the wounds of the group of stockholders who were about to go bankrupt.As a result, Sloan Corporation’s reputation immediately plummeted to the point where they were reviled by everyone.Once Quavon came back, he was faced with this huge mess. He almost died from anger.Clayton looked at the latest progress report, snorted softly, and threw it on the table with an indifferent expression on his face.“I gave them a chance. If they’d spit out the money on time and had better manners, it wouldn’t have come to this point.”Everyone knew that these were the stockholders who rolled about in the stock market all year. They did not have an occupation and relied on the rise and fall of the market to make money.Trying to peel off a layer of their skin was too difficult.However, not only did Sloan Corporation do that, but they also bit into that layer of skin tightly and flaunted it. It was the same as courting death.The
