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
Chapter 1413 Get a Room
Eric stood up, frowned, and turned to leave.Ann suddenly took a step ahead of him and tried to support his arm.However, he flung her away.Ann refused to give up and went up again, but she was pushed away again.It happened several times until Eric became annoyed. He turned his head to say something. Ann stood where she was, and her expression turned glum.......At the railing on the second floor.Nicole and Yvette watched the scene.Nicole did not say anything, as if she was deep in thought.Yvette could not hold back and blurted out the words in her heart.“Do they know each other? It looks like Eric didn’t mistake her for you, but he’s not familiar with her either. It looks like they know each other, at least.”Even after a long time, there was no answer.Yvette looked at Nicole.Nicole was speechless. “Do you think I could possibly know?”Yvette said, “That’s true. Even Eric’s marriage was hidden. How would he tell you that?”Everyone knew that marriage was absurd
Chapter 1414 I Have Plenty of Choices
Nicole’s face sunk. “They fought?”Ian nodded. “Neither was willing to compromise. Yvette hit him, and Sean yelled at her. Julie already drove out to chase Yvette.”Nicole let go of Clayton. Her tone turned cold.“Where’s Sean?”“He’s still there...”Before Ian could finish, Nicole had already run out.Clayton sighed helplessly and chased after Nicole.In the banquet hall, the small commotion drew the attention of many people.It was quite lively tonight.Sean stood at the door. His expression was still glum. His eyes looked out into the darkness of the night, angry but very worried.A teenage girl stood beside him, looking timid, and hesitantly spoke.“Brother, did I say something wrong?”......Sean did not answer. Nicole already came out with a gust of cold wind.Before leaving, she threw a complex glance at Sean.Nothing was said.However, Sean opened his mouth to call out to her.“Ms. Stanton, please, you have to find her. I’m very worried about her safety.”Nico
Chapter 1415 A Frivolous Beginning
Nicole calmed down and subconsciously stepped on the gas pedal, picking up speed.“Don’t worry, I’ll be right there. Just make sure she’s safe.”Julie said a few words and quickly hung up. She could not be distracted.Nicole hurriedly turned the corner and chose an alley to take a shortcut.In less than fifteen minutes, Nicole arrived downstairs at Yvette’s house.It was the apartment where she now lived with Sean.Nicole looked upstairs. She should not be back yet.Looking down at the time, Nicole was just about to send a message to Clayton when two cars drove in one after another.It was a quiet and upscale neighborhood, and almost all of them were detached buildings.Thus, others did not notice what was going on here.Yvette soon got out of the car in a fury and was about to run in.Nicole hurriedly got out and stopped her.“Yvette!”Yvette froze and looked back at her.“Why are you here?”Nicole was helpless. It seemed like Yvette did not see her at all.Julie caugh
