At once, Quavon sat in his wheelchair and got annoyed.Nicole raised her eyebrows and nodded slightly at Logan, who was behind her.Logan took a notarized share transfer contract, walked to the computer on the side, and projected it onto the large screen in front of him.“Everyone, please give a warm welcome to the largest shareholder of Sloan Corporation, Ms. Nicole Stanton!”As soon as Logan finished his sentence, he took the lead in applauding.No one reacted as this news was too shocking.It was clearly written on the agreement that Nicole already held 54% of Sloan Corporation’s shares, making her the largest shareholder.The people in the hall were in an uproar.Everyone had different expressions.Quavon was shocked. His eyes were wide open as if he was in disbelief. However, he had to believe it.In other words, the other major shareholders had sold all the shares to Nicole.Quavon was oblivious to it.They betrayed him and Sloan Corporation.This was indeed a good m
The people below the stage had great opinions about Quavon going back on his word.Although this benefit did not belong to them, they disliked such dishonest behavior.Quavon was like a scoundrel.Quavon’s face was red with anger. It was amusing to see his expression.Nicole laughed.“How could you still have the nerve to get the decision-making power when you got the company into this state? Chairman Sloan, I believe that if you continue to stay on the board, the entire corporation will probably go bankrupt!”“Nicole, don’t get too complacent!” Quavon spoke viciously.Nicole looked at him calmly and snorted lightly.There was no sentiment to speak of in a business competition.Here, age and seniority did not have any advantage.When competing, they were just rivals.Thus, Nicole’s words were not polite.“Or what? Should the company be in the hands of someone who went back on his word like you? It’s no wonder Sloan Corporation is in ruins!”Quavon’s face turned glum. He ru
Clayton lifted his eyes and read the content on it. His body shook violently.His eyelashes trembled.“Whoa, where exactly is this Ms. Stanton from? She transferred all her shares in Sloan Corporation to Clayton?”“Yeah, isn’t Clayton also a Sloan? After such a roundabout, we’re just back to the starting point?”“Clayton is an illegitimate son. He might’ve joined hands with Ms. Stanton to seize power!”“But Sloan Corporation is already an empty shell. There’s nothing to gain from it…”“Ms. Stanton sure is generous!”“What’s going on? I’m so confused with all this…”......Clayton looked at Nicole in shock and suddenly stood up. His face was taut.“Nicole…”His heart was beating fast. He felt like his heart that was falling into an abyss earlier finally landed on the ground, but it felt so surreal.It was as if someone hammered his chest heavily.After the sharp pain, he felt an ultimate tenderness.His throat was dry. “When did you…”Nicole’s warm, soft, and slender hand
Quavon’s body trembled.He really felt that he was getting old. Sloan Corporation’s people and things seemed to be disconnected from him.The killer tricks Quavon took out one by one could not change any situation at all.The outcome was final. He lost!Quavon’s heart clenched violently as he fell on the stage in the next second.Photos of this scene were taken by people with a motive and posted online.Some people claimed that this fall was the collapse of a business empire.They were right.Quavon was taken to the hospital with Clayton’s people keeping watch.Inside the conference hall, the meeting continued.Nicole had prepared a new list of board of directors long ago.The Vice President kept his position, but until Nicole’s share transfer agreement took effect, Nicole temporarily assumed the position of President of Sloan Corporation.No one had any objections to this proposal.The dust finally settled.Once the new appointment was announced, it sparked a huge discus
After today, these things that should have been gnawing at Clayton’s heart suddenly dissipated as he stood here at this moment.It was like a cloud of smoke.Clayton had no family, but Nicole became his family.How nice!Nicole stood there, admiring the famous paintings on the wall.Several of these paintings were authentic pieces from the auction.Nicole turned her head and smiled at the Vice President.“Please send me a list of all the employees above the middle and senior levels, including their family backgrounds and personal information. You’re right, I’ll have to re-examine them.”The Vice President immediately nodded his head.“Sure, no problem. I’ll have the secretary bring it over here.”Clayton smiled and turned back.“Vice President, my father is still considered a shareholder and not completely disconnected. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll come back to deal with you?”The Vice President froze for a moment.He looked at Clayton with a deep gaze. He was older than C
Clayton froze. He did not know that Luca was still here. He thought that Luca had followed Logan out and left together.When Clayton looked back, sure enough, Luca was staring at them with unblinking eyes.At once, Clayton felt like he could be choked to death with Luca’s eyes.Clayton silently let go of Nicole.“Uncle Floyd asked him to come with you?”Nicole answered.After a moment, Clayton casually asked again.“Then will he report to Uncle Floyd about everything no matter what?”Nicole looked at Clayton and felt a little strange. “Of course! He only listens to my father.”The implication was that Luca could even refuse to listen to Nicole.Clayton’s face turned glum. ‘It’s over… What if Luca describes what I just did to Nicole and reports it back to Floyd? Will I be on the Stanton family’s blacklist? My stupid hands!’Only after Nicole finished speaking did she realize that Clayton was worrying about something.Nicole laughed.She glanced at Luca and waved her hand.
Clayton faintly froze.Nicole gently kissed the spot where she had bitten him to express her apology.Just when Clayton could not resist and wanted to go deeper into the kiss, Nicole violently pushed him away.She took a step back herself and kept a safe distance.“You said that you’ll stop in time!”Nicole only intended to give him a light peck.Clayton was helpless and could only control his dark gaze. His voice was hoarse.“Fine, you’re the boss.”Clayton just missed her too much.He finally understood why lovers need to be intimate to express their love for each other.It was not just about the physical reaction, but their souls felt closer. It seemed like the only way to fully express his yearning for her.Nicole’s eyes were charming. She did not notice it, but her actions only made Clayton fall deeper in love with her.Fortunately, there was no one else in this room, so no one other than him could appreciate this beauty.Clayton withdrew his scorching gaze in time an
Clayton laughed. The corners of his lips twitched, and his smile disappeared.“Ridiculous, right? I haven’t told anyone this before. Even Quavon doesn’t know that I already know. The reason my mother was driven mad before she jumped off the building was that she already knew that Quavon could not tolerate her. Even more so, he couldn’t tolerate me, so her hope of using me to rise to the top was destroyed. Not only that, but Quavon also ruined her job and didn’t leave her any room for maneuver. She was at a dead-end.”Nicole stood there for a long time, unable to digest such shocking news.Although she knew that Clayton was definitely not welcomed in the family with his status, she thought that he would at most suffer a little in terms of living conditions.She never thought that he kept such a big secret hidden in his heart.Clayton tore through his deepest darkness and lightly spoke of the most hurtful past.Just hearing it, word for word, was enough to make her feel suffocated.
