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
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
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
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
Then, Sean divorced and came back to chase Yvette again, creating many opportunities until they got back together.Yvette knew that some of the things were deliberately planned by Sean.However, Yvette pretended not to know. She was willing to give Sean a chance, but she did not want to get married.His past marriage seemed to be an unspeakable taboo to her.Yvette did not get married, did not get involved with his family, and did not ask about his business and friends.It was as if they were together merely for the sake of love.Yvette originally thought that it was fine as long as they were happy.Now, Yvette realized that there were things that would not stop existing just because she did not ask about them.His presence was a permanent rift.......The three of them packed up. Almost all of Yvette’s household items were taken away, including her cosmetics and bags. There was really nothing left.Nicole looked at this. Was Yvette really going to break up with Sean?Downs
Julie went to find three cups, and the three ladies sat down on the carpet, each person holding a glass.Yvette’s tears could not stop flowing down her face.“Do you know who went this evening?”Julie shook her head. “I didn’t pay attention. Was it someone Sean knew?”Nicole recalled, “Who was the girl beside Sean?”Yvette’s tears flowed even harder.She sniffled and wiped her face.“She’s his wife’s younger sister. She grew up in their house. When I was toasting with Sean, she ran over and saw me. Do you know what she said?”Yvette sneered with sullen hatred in her eyes.“A vixen?”Yvette laughed. “It doesn’t matter if she calls me a vixen. Before I could say anything, Sean told me not to bother with a child. What the f*ck? A seventeen-year-old is considered a child? If it were in the past, someone her age could already have a few kids of their own. Is their family retarded?”Nicole felt uncomfortable.Yvette did not stop and continued to speak.“That’s fine, but do you k
Yvette grumbled and cursed for a long time, cursing Sean all the way to his ancestors without stopping.Nicole’s phone rang several times before she heard it.She picked it up while slightly tipsy.“Hello?”“Are you drinking?”Clayton instantly heard that something was wrong. There was something off with Nicole’s tone.She must be drinking.Nicole hummed.Clayton’s gentle voice was low and hoarse.“Where are you drinking? Are you with Ms. Quimbey?”Nicole said, “Yeah, we’re at home. At my place!”Clayton sighed in relief. His tone became gentler.“Don’t drink too much. Shall I bring some food back for you?”Just as Nicole was about to speak, Yvette snatched her phone away.“I’m about to break up and can’t stand to see other people being lovey-dovey. Don’t call other men!”Then, Yvette hung up the phone.Nicole drank, and her brain short-circuited. Her reaction was slow, and the screen turned black before she could react.Forget it.Since the call ended, she would just
Clayton sneered in his heart.Those good words about him were because he could show a side of himself that he wanted others to see.He did not say those words himself, so he would not admit it.Ann’s smile became completely strained.She looked at him with a cold gaze.“Fine, then I’ll get to the point. Mr. Sloan, why don’t we make a deal?”Clayton looked at her silently.......In Nicole’s home.Yvette drank cup after cup, cursing as she drank and venting out all her aggression and resentment.When she drank until she vomited, Nicole and Julie helped her to the bathroom to wash up, then took her to the bed to rest.The two of them also drank a lot, but at least they were still conscious.Julie looked at the time. It was almost 10:00 pm.“I have to go back.”Nicole held her forehead. “It’s already so late. Just stay the night before leaving.”Julie shook her head. “I can’t. I have a flight to Milan early tomorrow morning. I have a very important show.”Then, she walked
