Chapter 1353 You’re So Passionate
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.
Chapter 1354 Let Her Take It Away
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
Chapter 1355 It’s All in the Past
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.
Chapter 1356 Turns Out It’s a Surprise
After a while, Nicole gradually calmed her emotions, but her eyes were still a little red.Clayton was heartbroken as he wiped the corners of her eyes. He reached out to rub her earlobes and sighed.“Well, I have a surprise for you.”Nicole looked at him, dumbfounded.Clayton took out a document from the bag on the side.Nicole opened it and froze.“Isn’t this the 20% of shares that Mrs. Sloan transferred to you?”Clayton nodded and smiled.“Look at the bottom…”Nicole swept a glance. Suddenly, her gaze deepened.“You want me to hold it on your behalf?”Clayton curled his lips as he sized up Nicole. He simply told her.“Originally, I was concerned that you won’t have enough shares, or that Quavon bought others to dupe you, so the situation would be unfavorable to you then. That’s why I had someone prepare this document long ago.”Nicole sniffled. “Turns out it’s a surprise!”“But the surprise you gave me was even more unexpected. You’re one step ahead of me.”Clayton loo
Chapter 1357 Awkward Cutie
Nicole planned it very well, but Clayton got into this trouble.Nicole saw his hesitation, thought about it, and spoke.“Well, it’s not necessary to make Sloan Corporation that great, just enough to get by. In fact, I’ve thought of many ways. An acquisition is the easiest, but it’s hard to swallow such a large conglomerate in one go. The integration and restructuring of various areas will be too time-consuming. If it fails, it’ll implicate the acquiring company, which isn’t worth the loss. That’s why I decided to just maintain the current situation and see how it goes!”Clayton nodded silently.“Fine. But I can only take over for this period. Once it’s back on track, I’ll hand it over to a professional manager. I won’t work for the Sloan family.”Clayton did not hate them, but that did not mean he was not repulsed.Nicole gladly agreed.It was already a great concession for Clayton to agree.The main thing was that the current situation was a bit tricky. It would take a lot of
Chapter 1358 He Can Handle It
Clayton knew that Nicole had stayed here long enough. If Nicole still did not leave, the Stanton family would suspect that Clayton had ulterior motives.At this crucial point of establishing his good image, Clayton had to behave.When Nicole left, she was still very reluctant to leave and hugged Clayton’s arm fondly in the airport.Fortunately, they were in the VIP waiting room, so there were not many people inside. Otherwise, this scene would really be a big shock.Nicole had always been clear and cold. She was beautiful and gave off a sense of distance.However, she was extraordinarily clingy and coquettish at the airport that it was enough to overturn all previous impressions of her.Nicole was no longer that high and mighty goddess nor the rich woman who toyed with men’s feelings at will.Logan was sitting far away from them. The farther away, the better. These days, he already saw enough PDA for a lifetime.Luca’s face was expressionless as he sat behind them. He was watch
Chapter 1359 Half Dead State
“Clayton and Nicole have joined hands to harm me. Clayton, that ingrate! He’s really a son of a b*tch! Get him to come over!”“Nicole should go to hell! Let me out! I’ll kill her!”“Do you think I’ve lost? I won’t lose! Sloan Corporation can only be mine! It’s mine alone!”“......”Clayton lit a cigarette outside and smoked half of it before gently tossing it aside and crushing it with the tip of his shoe.When Nicole was around, Clayton never touched a cigarette to maintain his image.Clayton knew she did not like it.Since Nicole was not around, Clayton felt inexplicably exhausted sitting here.He was so tired that he could only take a puff of smoke to relieve his stress.The doctor came out from the ward, and the cursing voice inside gradually diminished.“Mr. Sloan?”Clayton stood up looking indifferent. He nodded and looked slightly inside.“He calmed down?”The doctor said, “He’s been sedated, so he’ll go to sleep soon. Mr. Sloan, if you want to speak to him, you can
Chapter 1360 Rumors
The doctor came up to meet Clayton.“Mr. Sloan, is it over?”Clayton nodded his head and said, “I’ve contacted the sanatorium. When he falls asleep, send him there. Send Isaac over too. Let them see each other for an hour a day, not more.”The doctor nodded and was still a little worried. “Chairman Sloan is not easy to deal with. If we don’t watch him…”Clayton’s gaze was extremely cold as he swept him a glance. “Then focus on watching Isaac. If Quavon dares to leave the sanatorium, then stop Isaac’s medication.”Isaac was paralyzed and in a vegetative state, so he could not eat or drink on his own.Once the medication was stopped, it meant that nothing could sustain Isaac’s life anymore.In less than a day, Isaac’s life would be in danger.“Understood,” The doctor answered.Clayton lifted his feet and walked out.The assistant in the car watched Clayton come out and started the car to pick him up.“You used the fastest time to solve the trouble in Sloan Corporation just to
