Chapter 1312 The Road to Death
Eric’s eyes were dark as he glanced at Logan. “Get lost...”Then, Eric picked up the check and tore it up in front of Logan’s eyes.This check was just an insult to Eric’s dignity.Logan paused for half a second and no longer hesitated to turn around and leave.Logan was afraid that if he did not leave soon, Eric would backtrack.As soon as Logan left, he immediately called Nicole to report his progress.“President, it’s done!”There was not much to say.Nicole smiled. “Alright, go back.”Logan sighed in relief and got into the car to leave.In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was blowing against the treetops with the only bit of coolness left in spring.Under Clayton’s urging, Nicole called a few friends and went over to the address he gave.Julie and Yvette went there directly.Ian made a detour and drove over to pick Nicole up in his car.The butler was still not at ease with Nicole leaving the house. Although Luca was going with her, the but
Chapter 1313 How Generous
Ian already swiftly walked one round around the place and spoke excitedly.“It really is an equestrian park with so many good horses! Many of them are pedigree horses and they’re no worse than the horses raised by Uncle Floyd!”Nicole was stunned for a moment. Really?In the past, Floyd was obsessed with keeping horses. No one in the circle was unaware of Floyd’s hobby.It was unique and expensive.Nicole grew up learning horseback riding. With Floyd around, her riding skills were one of the best.Then, Floyd gradually lost interest and started fishing. From then on, Floyd was unstoppable on the road of fishing.However, why did Clayton suddenly open an equestrian facility?A man in riding clothes came over from the side and saw Nicole at a glance.He walked over respectfully. “Welcome, Ms. Stanton. All the horses here were kept for you. Did you see any that you like? If you’re not satisfied with the ones here, I’ll find another breed right away!”Nicole froze in shock.Kai
Chapter 1314 I Miss You
When Ian shouted, the three ladies could not chat anymore.They went over and picked a horse each. They were all very satisfied, especially Nicole. She immediately took a fancy to a brown thoroughbred horse inside.The manager led the horse out for her to take a closer look. It was really beautiful from top to bottom.Its fur was smooth and shiny. Its neck was long and slender, and its body shape was simply like a work of art.It was just stunning.“Ms. Stanton, this is the thoroughbred horse that Mr. Sloan had specially sent over. It has had a very pure pedigree since three generations ago. This horse also took part in the national competition when it was young and won the championships. It has always been regarded as the top seed for horse racing.”No wonder!Nicole marveled secretly. At a glance, it was clear that there was something different about this horse. It had a noble and unattainable look.“I’ll take this one. Is it docile?”“Don’t worry. It’s a little impish, but
Chapter 1315 Final Struggle
Nicole said, “You actually forgot about it? What a waste of a good horse! It’s clear at a glance that this horse can win the championship!”Clayton said, “Everyone said the same at that time, but if it’s really trained for the championship, there’s no telling how many such horses there are. Since I bought it, it won’t have to worry about desperately trying to win the championship!”Nicole shook her head. “Does the horse know how thoughtful you are?”“Maybe?” Clayton spoke casually.Nicole choked. “I’m going to start riding. Let’s talk later? Oh right, thank you for the gift. I love it!”Clayton smiled. “I’m glad you like it.”After he finished speaking dotingly, Nicole hung up the phone.He shook his head in exasperation. The dull mood he had for a day finally improved.The assistant on the side knocked on the door and came in. “Mr. Sloan, Chairman Sloan asked to see you.”Clayton paused as his gaze sank slightly.His happiness dwindled visibly, and his face turned cold.The

Clayton looked up and glanced at his assistant.The assistant nodded and went out sensibly, leaving ample space for the two people.Clayton stood up and brewed tea for himself.The water was boiling, and the fragrance of the tea lingered.Clayton looked at him for a moment in a trance before suddenly laughing. He lowered his head and laughed at himself.Quavon’s lips twitched.“What are you laughing at? Do you want me to get down on my knees and beg you?”Quavon refused to bow to his bastard son, especially an outcast who he had abandoned.Clayton’s eyes flashed slightly. With his back to the light, Clayton looked at Quavon and spoke in a cold and calm tone.“I went to Mediania and met countless people. I wondered countless times. Why me?”Quavon frowned and stared at him.Clayton’s tone was very light.“Why was I born as your son? Why was I born as your illegitimate son?”“You’re still dwelling on that matter?“It’s already a blessing for you to be born as my son. After
Chapter 1317 His Only Chance
The atmosphere was extremely quiet.It was cold.Quavon said, “In other words, you’re not going to stop?”Clayton said, “I didn’t do anything at all. Things have developed to the point of no return. It was you guys who courted death. If you all hadn’t gotten too greedy and wanted to lock up all the money, everything could still be saved. But now…”He smiled.The situation now was very clear.Sloan Corporation was hit wave after wave. Even if the politicians wanted to stand up for them, reality would not allow it.Countless people began to take to the streets to protest this stock market turmoil, and countless spearheads pointed at Sloan Corporation.Instead of responding promptly and taking effective measures, Sloan Corporation condescendingly accused the demonstrators of being “unreasonable” with an arrogant attitude time and time again.Sloan Corporation earned a lot of money, and they sunk their teeth in and refused to let go of the money.They did not want to allow even a
Chapter 1318 Unfathomable
Then, the world seemed to quiet down.Clayton unhurriedly picked up the cup on the ground and put it on the table.Fortunately, the cup did not break, so this set could still be used.Not long after, the assistant came in. When he saw this scene, he bent down to clean up with Clayton.“Mr. Sloan, I just watched him get into the car and leave. His expression didn’t look good.”“That’s good.”Clayton’s tone was bland and unconcerned.He already said what he wanted to say. It seemed like this was the most he had ever spoken to Quavon in his life.Fortunately, Clayton’s choice remained unchanged.To the side, the assistant sighed.“In fact, the best method for Sloan Corporation now is to withdraw from the market. Unfortunately, Sloan Corporation has always been high up and can’t bear to lower themselves, right?”Clayton sneered and said nothing. He stood up and straightened his clothes.“Judging by the meaning of his words, he still doesn’t know that Sloan Corporation has been
Chapter 1319 Not Getting Married
Maverick glanced at Kai silently and turned back without saying anything.Kai and Nicole exchanged a glance. They could see that something was off with Maverick.Kai sat to the side happily.“Don’t hold back, Second Brother. Tell me if you have any problems. I’ll definitely help you. Is it a relationship or professional problem? Is there another genius in your research institute who’s better than you? Or did you run out of money?”Maverick rolled his eyes speechlessly and stood up to go upstairs.Halfway up the stairs, Maverick paused.“Lil N, come up.”Nicole, whose name was called, froze and suddenly stood up.“Sure thing!”Kai said, “What’s that supposed to mean?! Why did he only call for you and not me? Don’t I deserve to know?”Nicole smirked at Kai smugly.“Maybe everyone knows that you're just a pretty face?”“F*ck off!”Kai picked up the pillow and threw it at her.Nicole dodged it nimbly and went upstairs, grinning.Maverick’s room was on the third floor, the hi
