At the end of the song, Nicole’s finger landed on the last key. It was a perfect ending.The violin also stretched for two seconds. The coordination of the piece matched quite well.Everyone was subconsciously immersed in it.Dominic took the lead in applauding.Then, everyone burst out in extremely enthusiastic applause.Nicole stood up and turned around. The person who played the violin was the eye-catching Maddox.She paused for a moment before smiling at them.“That’s it for today. You guys keep practicing!”Then, she lifted her feet and went back to the room she was in just now.Kai did not reveal his face, most likely because he felt that it was troublesome. However, he did watch the show.He posted a short clip he took of them earlier to his social media with the caption: “The daily life of a rich woman indulging in luxury!”Kai put his phone away when Nicole came in.“OMG, that was great!”Nicole rolled her eyes speechlessly at him. “If you say one more word, I gua
Luca opened the door for her, and Nicole bent down and got in.Soon, the car left.Dominic sighed in relief. His legs almost gave out.“Why is that lady always angry? Didn't Kai say his sister is the best-tempered person in the world?”Dominic really wondered how Kai grew up.To the side, Maddox pursed his lips. “Mr. Young, does Ms. Stanton not like me? Can I still make my debut?”Dominic patted his shoulder and comforted him.“It’s fine. Ms. Stanton is a devoted person. She hasn’t broken up with her boyfriend yet, so she can’t pass through that hurdle in her conscience. You have to have confidence in yourself. Your chance will come when she breaks up.”Maddox was speechless.Nicole was right to scold Dominic. He really never learned from his mistakes!In the car.Kai looked at the silent Nicole and secretly felt a little guilty.He was just about to take out his phone to delete the video from this social media when he suddenly saw Nicole open up her social media.His hear
Nicole kept panicking when she looked at the phone.She did not know why she was so angry either.It was just a video. It was nothing out of the ordinary.However, Nicole seemed a little afraid. She was afraid that Clayton would see it. She was afraid that he would misunderstand.How was she supposed to explain herself if he misunderstood?Nicole went back to her room and looked at her phone with a restless soul.One minute, five minutes, ten minutes... Nothing.Did he not see it?As long as that thought flashed by, Nicole instantly felt much better.In Liberty.Clayton lost his mood to work the moment he saw the video on Kai’s social media.Kai’s caption was clearly a joke.However, in the video, Nicole and the man playing the violin were too harmonious and well-coordinated.Clayton felt a very strong sense of crisis. He thought, ‘Should I ask her about this video? Will she get angry? Will she think that I’m small-minded?’Clayton hesitated and felt even more stuffy in
Clayton hung up the phone and looked at his assistant.The assistant said, “It’s Mrs. Sloan.”It was Quavon’s legal wife, a woman of noble birth with a strong family background.From the moment Clayton entered the Sloan family, he was forced to accept the cold eyes of the Sloan family.However, Clayton had only seen Mrs. Sloan a few times. That woman lived in her own home most of the time, and her marriage with Quavon was only an exchange of interests. There were no personal feelings involved.After Mrs. Sloan gave birth to Liam, she finished her task and never stepped foot in the Sloan family again.She had no disgust, persecution, resentment, or liking for Clayton. She was just indifferent. She was indifferent to everyone in the Sloan family.Usually, in instances where children were born out of wedlock, the wife in the affluent family would either give the illegitimate children a sum of money to send them off or send the illegitimate child to a remote place.Very few people
Back in the Sloan family, Liam had only seen his mother a few times. However, whenever Liam mentioned his mother, he was very happy. Every day, Liam looked forward to his mother coming to pick him up.However, she never did.The woman lowered her eyes, took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and held it between her fingers without smoking it.She just let it burn away.“Back then, I didn’t agree for Liam to date that girl because she was one of Quavon’s people. Quavon wanted to find an excuse to drive Liam out of the house, so he deliberately set up a trap.”Clayton shook violently.The woman smiled faintly. “Quavon spared no effort to pave the way for the son he had with his stepmother. So, do you know why I would rather Liam hate me than let that woman marry him?”In the end, she paused.“But I didn’t expect them to have a child. Liam was still a boy himself, but he got a woman pregnant so capriciously. It’s a good thing that the woman was killed by Isaac not long after
Clayton thought, ‘My well-behaved little brother was only rebellious in the last period of his life… Liam probably suddenly realized that his existence was not as prestigious as he imagined…’Clayton’s eyes suddenly turned red.“I don’t want your shares. You may leave.”Clayton’s voice was cold as he asked Liam’s mother to leave.The woman froze for a moment.She stood up. “Just think of Michael. Don’t reject it.”That was all she could do.She had long wanted to add insult to injury to the Sloan family, but she did not get the chance.After saying that, she stubbed out the cigarette in her hand, turned around, and left the office.Clayton looked at the document in his hand. His heart was so heavy that he could not speak.The assistant came in, looked at Clayton’s depressed face, and sighed.“It’s been so many years. She must’ve come with a motive.”As he said this, he saw the document on Clayton’s desk.He faintly froze.“This woman has such a big trick up her sleeve…”
If Clayton and Nicole broke up, the people around Eric would be much better off.Originally, they thought that Nicole was serious about Clayton, but after seeing this video, her feelings for Clayton were probably not so deep after all.The main thing was that a woman of Nicole’s status had too many choices, so why would she tie herself to one man?Eric looked complicated. His face was tense.“Nicole is just playing with them. As soon as she breaks up with Clayton, your chance will come!”Keith gushed and analyzed this bright path for Eric.However, Eric’s face remained motionless. Keith could not tell whether he was happy or upset.In the dimness.Eric’s eyes were sharp, and his voice was cold.“Sloan Corporation is in trouble. Was it Clayton’s doing?”Keith froze.“It can’t be, right? Even if his relationship with the Sloan family is stiff. He won’t actually push his own family to the brink, right? After all, the Sloan family is his backer. If he doesn’t have the Sloan fami
The environment was agitated to a certain extent. Even the political circles began to warn Sloan Corporation to solve this matter quickly in order to avoid social unrest.Faced with countless cameras, Quavon could only choose to delist.However, he had already missed the best time to delist at this juncture.Their internal capital shortage was too big to be filled.One of the board of directors proposed to get someone to acquire their company.Quavon was so furious at that moment that he was hospitalized.He never dreamed that Sloan Corporation would end up like this.It was evident how badly Isaac had run the company.Once this solution was proposed, some people put their hopes on it.To rise again was no longer possible, so they could only hope to be acquired to temporarily alleviate the current shortage of funds.Thus, despite Quavon’s objection, the board of directors decided to discuss the acquisition details the day after tomorrow.As soon as this news was released, it
