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
Nicole swept a glance at the person sitting in the front, presiding over the meeting – the Vice President of Sloan Corporation.There were many other bosses who were invited to attend the meeting, and they were all interested in acquiring Sloan Corporation.After all, being able to acquire such a large conglomerate was enough to stir the business world.The rest were the shareholders and directors of Sloan Corporation.Sitting on one side was Quavon Sloan, who was in a wheelchair. His face was grim as he looked at Nicole who just came in.As soon as Nicole arrived in Liberty, Quavon had received news of it.However, the people Quavon sent failed miserably. He even received news from the mob telling him to stop targeting Nicole.That was because Nicole was under the protection of the mob. As long as she was safe and sound within the confines of Liberty, she would pay a very handsome compensation after she left the country.The Sloan family’s power was no longer enough for others
Clayton walked to the front and inadvertently saw Nicole.He raised an eyebrow.Nicole looked away as if nothing happened. This kind of occasion was not suitable for catching up.She came to Liberty without contacting Clayton because she intended to settle this matter before telling him.At the end of the day, Quavon was Clayton’s father, so it was too cruel to watch himself do this.Nicole did not expect to meet Clayton right here.However, it also made sense. How could Clayton not show up?It was not like he could really stay out of it.Nicole wanted to pretend not to know Clayton, but Clayton had already walked up to her side.His voice was low and gentle, a familiarity that Nicole had not heard in a long time.“Please let me sit inside.”Nicole’s body stiffened.She pursed her lips, and only then did she realize that the seat next to her was empty.For a moment, her face felt a little hot.There seemed to be only two empty seats in the first few rows. It did not seem
Quavon’s face turned glum.In terms of the number of shareholders, he was outnumbered.In the past few days, Quavon had been running around, spending a lot of money to recover the shares of some small shareholders.The other major shareholders remained unmoved. They did not look like they wanted a better offer either.Quavon knew that things were not so simple.The shareholders below raised their hands one after another.The atmosphere in the room was heated up for a moment.It was as if they could already envision getting a cut of Sloan Corporation.How satisfying!Quavon’s gaze was sunken and dark as he stared at Clayton. ‘He’s here, but he didn’t make a move? What the hell is he trying to do?’Finally, just as the Vice President was about to make a final decision, Quavon finally could not hold back. He looked at Clayton and opened his mouth.“Wait a minute! Everyone, you should know that I have a son, and he’s…”Before Clayton’s name was called out, Clayton’s face sudden
