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
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
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
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
Now, however, the biggest problem between Molly and Maverick was revealed.It was inevitable.Maverick looked extremely charming and was unmatched in his career.Floyd was most proud of the fact that Maverick was not in business. His specialty was simply accidental!However, when it came to relationships, Maverick was a complete novice.It was really worrisome.“I always contact her when I’m free. Other times, she can’t contact me even if she tries to.”Maverick spoke in a low tone.Looking at him sitting there with a look of unconcealed despondency, Nicole also felt heartbroken for him.After a pause, Nicole suddenly thought of something and looked at him.“If she’s not answering your calls, you can go to her.”Maverick looked up at him. “You think she’ll see me?”Nicole pursed her lips. “There’s a way, but your attitude must be sincere!”Maverick frowned. “I’ve always been sincere!”Nicole’s lips pulled. “It’s useless if you think you’re sincere. You have to let everyon
Carol spoke perfunctorily as she worked.“I know, I know. I wonder if tigers eat sweet food?”“Tigers are carnivores and hunt for their prey. There’s no refined sucrose in the natural environment where they live, and the sugar needed by their bodies will be absorbed from plants and animals...”Tigger was very happy to give Carol a science lesson.Carol interrupted it helplessly. “Tigger, play me a song. I need background music to get into the groove!”Tigger huffed reluctantly. It was enjoying the process of conversation with humans.Nicole watched Tigger for a while and could not help but smile. She knocked on the door.“Tigger, have you found your new hobby?”At the sound of Nicole’s voice, Tigger excitedly jumped down from the high stool and pounced on Nicole’s body to act spoiled.“Mama—”Nicole laughed and stroked the tiger’s soft and comfy fur.Several maids hurriedly put down the work in their hands and looked at Nicole expectantly.“What brings you here, Miss?”Nic
Nicole was in a great mood and did not care about that.“Sure, you can go if you want. It’s been a long time since you’ve seen each other anyway. Molly must miss you a lot!”Tigger clicked its tongue with extreme disdain and jumped down to look for Floyd to be pampered.......Late at night.The sound of a few cicadas chirping could be heard.Nicole took a shower and changed into comfortable clothes before going downstairs to eat dessert.Grant had just returned from Sand City and looked travel-worn.The butler carried large and small bags behind him.Nicole’s eyes lit up.“Cake?”Grant nodded.“Mm. Don’t you like to eat the cake there? I brought some back for you...”Nicole walked over with a smile. “Thank you, Big Brother! You’ve worked hard on this business trip!”Grant chuckled, not impressed by her silver tongue.He tossed the documents on the table.“This is the current progress of the project in Sand City. I think it’s necessary to rearrange some items. I’ll tell
Kai clicked his tongue twice. “Of course! I had more fun than you. Compared to you two, I look like a hedonistic trust fund kid!”Grant finally reacted and spoke indifferently.“Aren’t you?”Kai and Nicole were speechless.Kai rubbed his nose and coughed.“I’d better go up to bed!”Halfway up the steps, Kai paused, looked at Nicole, and winked.Nicole did not understand.She lowered her head and continued to listen to Grant.Before long, the phone that was placed to the side rang.It was Grant’s phone.The caller ID read: Wife.Nicole raised her eyebrows. Grant immediately picked it up. His voice became much softer.“Hello?”Grant stood up and gave Nicole a look, who nodded.He went to the side to answer the call. His clear voice answered a few times with a smile at the corners of his lips. The gentle look on his face could not be concealed.Never in Nicole’s dreams did she think that Grant would end up like this one day.Sure enough, finding the right person was the b
