Chapter 1405 He Didn’t Lay a Hand on Her
As Ian finished speaking, the crowd automatically parted for them.Nicole saw Clayton standing there.Clayton wore a luxurious black suit. He was handsome and gentle but carried a hint of a sharp chill.Nicole did not know why Clayton was angry, but he was definitely mad.Claire did not know who Clayton was. She was from a small circle who would never meet people like Clayton.She thought that the biggest person who could not be offended was just Eric Ferguson.The unfamiliar Clayton accidentally misidentified a person.In order to please the arms dealer Ann, Claire refused to let go of the matter.“You saw the wrong person? Your excuse is really low. I think you’re just trying to cop a feel. Shouldn’t you at least keep in mind the location and what kind of people are here? You actually dared to take advantage of Ms. Ann? I’ll call the cops to arrest you!”The surrounding people all gathered over to watch the show.Claire refused to let the matter drop. She had to let Ann kno
Chapter 1406 No Other Meaning
“Who are you calling a chatterbox?”Claire was dissatisfied with Clayton’s attitude.“Then did you touch her?”Nicole’s tone was slightly unkind.“Of course not. I didn’t even touch a hair on her!”Clayton spoke with a very firm attitude.Claire said, “That’s just what you’re saying. I saw with my own eyes. Are you still trying to deny it?”She said that extremely loudly, as if afraid that others could not hear her.It was as if the louder her voice and the more aggrieved she was, the higher her credibility.Nicole looked at Claire with a smiling face.“Mrs. Levine, how about this? Let’s call the police...”Claire froze. “Call the police?”She just said that to make Clayton embarrassed.If they really called the police and things went too far, the scene today would end up becoming unpleasant.In the end, Claire could not represent the entire Carter family.“Yes, since you’re so angry, if we don’t call the police, what would people think of the Carter family’s reputation?
Chapter 1407 Mistaken
Mrs. Carter’s face turned slightly pale at being lectured.“I understand. I’ll go out and have a look.Mrs. Carter had just been forced to come in and hide because of Claire, and now, she was forced to go out again?Mrs. Carter walked out sullenly and felt overwhelmed when she heard the commotion there.The guests present were all rich and noble and were invited for the sake of the Carter family’s reputation.Mrs. Carter was aware that the Carter family was declining day by day. If not for Nicole’s help last time, the company would have already fallen into the hands of others.The way Claire lost her composure was really ridiculous.Mrs. Carter walked over and saw Nicole standing there. Ian stood far away, looking like he was staying out of it.“What are you all yelling about? Even the Old Master heard the commotion.”She went over to reprimand her sister.When Claire saw Mrs. Carter, it was as if she saw her backer.“Why else? It’s just a small matter, but Ms. Stanton refus
Chapter 1408 Apologize Properly
It was Julie who spoke up with a smile.“That’s right. It was Mrs. Levine who kept insisting and accusing Mr. Sloan of harassing someone else. Everyone knows that Mr. Sloan is deeply in love with Nicole. When has there been anyone other than Nicole in his eyes? If Mrs. Levine’s words cause other people to think that Nicole is together with a hoodlum and word got out, the Stanton family would not be able to show their face anymore.”Mrs. Carter looked at Claire with an extremely unpleasant expression.“How could you do that?”Nicole wanted to deny it, but because of the man’s and Nicole’s identity, if she denied it, she might not be able to get out of the situation.She pursed her lips. “It’s a misunderstanding. Maybe I saw it wrong...”“Whether or not you saw it wrongly, we’ll know as soon as we watch the footage. Mrs. Levine was filled with righteous indignation earlier. It didn’t seem like you might have been mistaken.”Nicole spoke coolly, her face sunken as she looked at Cla
Chapter 1409 Quite Satisfied
When Claire finished speaking, her face was already red to the point where it looked like it would explode.Claire was completely humiliated in front of the crowd.Mrs. Carter did not show her any mercy and smiled at Nicole.“Nicole, for my sake, tell your boyfriend not to get angry. Just think of it as a joke. We welcome you to this birthday banquet. Don’t spoil your good mood.”Nicole glanced at Mrs. Carter. There was no hint of reluctance on her face, and she did not care about Claire’s reputation at all.If Mrs. Carter could say such smooth words, it meant that she knew which was more important.Since Claire already apologized, Nicole did not want to continue making a fuss.She looked at Clayton. "Are you satisfied with this outcome?"Clayton raised his brows. "Quite."He did not care about her apology. What made him happiest was that Nicole always stood up for him. She did not care even if it was her friend’s relative.It meant that in her heart, Clayton was worth more.
Chapter 1410 Are You That Happy?
Mrs. Carter spoke calmly.“Enough. It doesn’t matter what I say. He’s the Old Master’s favorite, so his word is the Old Master’s word.”“Sister, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to draw a line between us? I’m your sister!”Claire was anxious and frightened.“You’re just not allowed to attend the Carter family’s public events in the future. You’re thinking too much.”Mrs. Carter finished speaking and turned to leave.Claire chased after her. “What about my Riley helping out in Carter Corporation? He specially came back to help Ian.”A trace of impatience crossed Mrs. Carter’s eyes.“Let’s talk about that later. As you can see, the Old Master only believes Ian now. He doesn’t listen to me at all.”"Then what about Riley?"Mrs. Carter said, "Just let him return to Liberty. Wasn't he doing well there? Why did you tell him to come back?"Claire was at a loss for words and stopped in her tracks.......Nicole held Clayton’s arm and wanted to see if he was still angry or
Chapter 1411 You’re Not the Target
Old Master Carter paced around them twice and smiled.“Good. Nicole, you have a good eye! Mr. Sloan is a talented man with outstanding abilities. Your father must be overjoyed, right?”Nicole’s lips twitched as she remained silent, letting this topic slide in jest.If her father were to know, he might die of anger.Overjoyed?Nicole did not dare to entertain the thought.Old Master Carter was clearly interested in Clayton.He pulled Clayton and chatted with him for a while before letting them leave.Nicole did not want to socialize since she felt that it was too annoying. After a few people came to exchange pleasantries with her, she made excuses to run away.Clayton was left there to helplessly take over everyone’s greetings.Yvette popped up from somewhere and went over with a grin.“You left Mr. Sloan behind? I heard that everyone is very interested in him, but those who want to build connections with him can’t find a way to.”Nicole pursed her lips. “Whatever. Let him d
Chapter 1412 What Relationship?
Nicole was sure that this woman's identity was most likely not fake.If Ann did not have such a sensitive identity, she would not be so alert to the details.Nicole did not shy away and met Ann’s gaze, then casually turned her head away.Yvette pulled her to sit on the chair to the side and waited for the person on the phone to reply.Nicole also sat calmly. Her fingers tapped on the chair as she thought about something.No one below noticed them.Between the guests and the glasses intertwining, the lively sound of music was almost suppressed.Nicole could not help but glance over again. The woman’s eyes had fallen on Eric’s body again.Eric was still drinking glass after glass of wine.He did not speak and did not pay attention to people who came to talk to him.Some women tried to come and say hello, but they subconsciously shrunk back because of Ann, who was sitting opposite him.Soon after, Yvette was so surprised she almost fell off her stool.“OMG! Nicole, that woman
