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
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
“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
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
Clayton let out a low laugh. “It’s morning in Liberty, so I’m up.”Nicole slapped her head. She was so sleepy that she had forgotten about the time difference.“After sleeping for so long, you should be hungry, right? Go eat something.”Clayton patiently coaxed her. Nicole pursed her lips and felt a sense of dependence in her heart.“When will you be done with things over there?”Clayton helplessly.“You’re one to talk! Didn’t you throw this mess to me?”Nicole muttered, “Hmm, then it’s too late for me to regret it now…”Clayton laughed. “Now you know.”Nicole really regretted it. She should not have let Clayton handle this personally. It would be just as fine to get someone to go over.How was Sloan Corporation worth Clayton’s efforts?The two of them talked for a while. Tigger used two paws to pull open her door and jumped next to her hand. It hiked up its tail and twirled around.Nicole hung up the phone after saying a few words, then picked Tigger up and went downstairs
Nicole froze for a second and blinked her eyes. ‘Did Dad just tell me this? Shouldn’t this be for Grant, who’s a man?’Grant silently bowed his head and ate, pretending not to hear them.“Clayton doesn’t want to take over. He doesn’t have feelings for the Sloan Corporation. If I hadn’t mentioned Michael, Clayton wouldn’t even want to take care of it.”Floyd listened and frowned slightly.“Right, it’s only logical that Michael should inherit Sloan Corporation.”Grant pursed his lips, wiped his mouth, and said in an indifferent tone.“It’s no longer the Sloan family’s, so what’s rightful about it? Let’s just take it as it is for now and consider it as buying a bet for Nicole’s safety. At least, Quavon won’t be able to find trouble with us again for a while.”Floyd nodded in agreement.The three of them finished eating. Nicole was not sleepy at all and intended to go to the screening room to watch a movie.Before she went up, she heard a commotion outside.Not long after, Maveri
Nicole was stunned for a moment. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I would’ve asked Dad to prepare some gifts for you to take over.”Maverick shook his head. “There were too many people. Almost all of their relatives were there, so I just went to greet her.”Nicole wrinkled her brows and thought for a moment.“Almost all of them? Did you introduce yourself when you went?”Maverick nodded. “Molly said that I should just be honest and introduce myself, but after I introduced myself, her mother looked very happy. It’s really strange. Her mother knew about me already, so why was she suddenly so happy?”He was puzzled by this and was thinking about it for the whole night.Interpersonal relationships were really too complicated for him.Nicole smiled with understanding.She went over and patted his shoulder. “Your excellence saved you!”Maverick did not understand. He raised his eyes in confusion and pushed up his glasses. “What do you mean?”“You went over to introduce yourself i
Early in the morning.Nicole was still sleeping.Tigger started to burrow in and bounce around.“Mama, it’s time to get up!”Nicole waved away the annoying little tiger.Tigger persistently called out to her, and finally shouted until her sleepiness faded away.Mr. Anderson came up, stood outside the door, and knocked on the door gently.“Miss, are you awake?”Hearing no movement, Mr. Anderson continued to knock on the door. “Miss, Chairman said that you should come downstairs earlier so that you won’t be seen by the guests later. That’ll leave a bad impression!”Nicole sobered up completely and sighed.“Got it!”When Mr. Anderson heard the reply, he sighed in relief and went downstairs.Once Nicole gradually awakened, she remembered that Molly’s parents were coming over today.Floyd must have taken it very seriously.Nicole immediately went to freshen up, then went to the dressing room to choose a more casual and decent outfit that was not too eye-catching. It was light
