Grant was just about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.“When did you come back to Mediania, Mr. Sloan?”“My flight arrived the night before yesterday.”Clayton answered without thinking.After he did, Clayton realized Grant’s motive.His face changed slightly.Clayton was just about to look up, but Grant already walked away without saying a word.Even Grant’s back had an inexplicable chill.Clayton was speechless.Nicole was clearly in a good mood this early morning.When the lady at the front desk and the secretary greeted her, she responded to them one by one.Others did not know what was going on, but Logan knew best.However, he could not say.Logan knocked on the door with the documents and poured her a cup of coffee.“President, Asher Sullivan from Cyndro International wants to see you. Will you meet him?”Nicole paused. “No.”She did not have a good impression of that person.Even if a few years passed, there was nothing good worth discovering.Fu
“Then I won’t hold back. I heard that you were dating Mr. Sloan, but I still feel uneasy without hearing your answer in person,” Asher said.Nicole looked at him. “When did you learn to be cautious, Mr. Sullivan?”Asher said, “I learn from my mistakes.”He was just about to offer his farewell when Nicole chuckled.“Oh, it seems like you learned a lot from Ms. York’s experience.”There was a sneer in her words.Asher’s expression suddenly changed.He was a smart man and was the best at reading people’s faces. How would he not know why Nicole was bringing Ava up now?It was because, from the beginning, Nicole knew that he had an affair with Ava.Nicole just watched as he played dumb and as Ava walked step by step toward death.Then, when his conscience was about to be relieved of its full burden, the old story was dug up and his shame was revealed, letting him see what a despicable and shameless man he was.Asher looked at her quietly for a few seconds and stood up with a slig
Nicole signed in. Ian’s sharp eyes spotted Nicole, and he immediately went over to flatter her.“Ms. Stanton, you look radiant today. The little starlets invited are gonna have to find a hole to bury themselves in! This dress is too beautiful, but a little too short.”Nicole gnashed her teeth, trying to control her expression.“It’s down to my heels but you still think it’s short? Do you think it’s supposed to be a wedding dress?”Ian’s eyes lit up. “My grandfather dreamed of seeing his granddaughter-in-law. If you walk around with me in a wedding dress, I guarantee that you’ll get gifts worth more than your dividends!”Nicole rolled her eyes. “I also guarantee that you won’t leave this place with your legs on the ground.”He would be crippled by her at least.Ian did not dare to say more and pulled her to Old Master Carter.“Grandpa, look who it is! Doesn’t she look like your granddaughter-in-law?”Nicole’s lips twitched. She really wanted to kick him to death!The surroundi
Ian’s expression changed instantly.Adeline looked at Ian with an eager gaze, as if her heart was hanging on his body.When Terrence almost ruined the Carter family before, the Carter family already regarded the Zabel family as a thorn in their side, but it did not affect Adeline’s love and obsession for Ian.The moment Adeline saw Ian, her eyes instantly lit up and she lifted her skirt to come over.Ian was frightened and let go of Nicole’s hand, wanting to leave Nicole behind and run away.At that thought, that was what he did.“Nicole, I’m leaving. Take care of yourself!”Then, Ian lifted his legs and ran. He bumped into several wine glasses and was gently chided by the elders and relatives on the side for not being steady enough.However, the moment they noticed Adeline, their chiding voices changed.“Hurry up and run. Don’t get caught!”Nicole looked at this scene with surprise. It was like a farce.Eric, who was in front of her, only wanted to be alone with Nicole.He
There seemed to be no noise around.The person in front of Nicole stared at her with dim eyes. Nicole’s gaze was extremely calm and cold.She could feel Eric’s change.However, it just did not have any effect on her anymore.Just looking at Eric and thinking about the past made her sad.Now, there was someone in her life who could make her laugh.Nicole yearned for happiness even more.She pondered for a few seconds before speaking in a light tone.“I have a boyfriend now, you know that. Even if I didn’t, I will never go back to you.”Eric was silent for a moment before sneering.“I know. It’s just a boyfriend. You can get divorced after marriage, let alone if you’re not married yet. Other people still have a chance, right?”Nicole frowned. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard Julie’s voice from the side.“Nicole...”Nicole looked over, and Julie waved at her. It seemed like it was something urgent.She immediately stood up. “Excuse me.”Nicole did
At that time, this matter caused quite a commotion around.However, Claire used her relationship with the Carter family as well as her own methods to forcefully suppress this matter.Before long, Riley went abroad, and the girl’s family was given considerable compensation. The matter ended.The circle had always disliked Riley.The disdain in Nicole’s eyes was undisguised.“Does he think the matter has passed? He still has the nerve to come back?”The corner of Julie’s lips curled in mockery.“He didn’t come back with his tail between his legs. I heard he came back with a girlfriend who has connections with an arms dealer. To the Carter family, it’s an excellent help. Claire has been living off her older sister. It’s not easy to live while watching the moods of other people. Now that they finally have the opportunity to straighten their backs, how could they not make a grand entrance?”Nicole frowned. “An arms dealer?”It was no wonder Claire dared to let Riley come back. With
Beside Riley stood a cold-looking woman. She was tall and thin, and dressed in cool clothes. She wore a black dress, had flaming red lips, and had the style of a tough lady. She dressed like an arms dealer’s thug.At first glance, everyone was a little confused, especially Mrs. Carter.She paused before glancing at the crowd. The moment she saw Nicole, she also froze.The woman beside Riley really looked like Nicole.Beautiful and cool.Gloomy, too.Nicole also noticed but did not make a sound.Was it a coincidence?Julie whispered in her ear.“Did your mom give birth to twins? Countless melodramatic plotlines already flashed through my brain.”Nicole rolled her eyes.“Don’t be ridiculous. My mom only gave birth to me.”“Then how could this be?”Julie hesitated to speak.Nicole casually said a word. “Makeup.”At first glance, that woman looked very similar to Nicole.However, only the impression of her appearance looked similar. If carefully surveyed, they were not very
Mrs. Carter's attitude towards Ann was not very warm.She only nodded politely before turning and leaving.Riley quickly pulled her."Auntie, I’ll go to Grandpa and pay my respects to him and tell him this piece of good news too!"Mrs. Carter was put on the spot and hesitated.To the side, Claire pulled her sister’s arm."It’s a great opportunity. Let Riley meet the Old Master and mention joining the company. In the future, he can stay in the company and help Ian!"Mrs. Carter was clearly awkward. "Forget it. I've never talked to the Old Master about stuff like that. Let's talk about this later.""What's that supposed to mean? Are you saying that you don't want Riley to join the company? He learned a lot while he was abroad and can help Ian. If family don't help each other, others will think of us as a joke."Mrs. Carter rubbed her temples, not knowing how to refuse her sister.It was fine if it was just helping out normally. She agreed because she pitied Claire. However, Cla
