After waiting for about twenty minutes, a slightly chubby middle-aged woman decked in jewels pulled an equally chubby and strong boy over.“You’re the child’s aunt as well as his teacher, and you couldn’t even solve this matter? It’s just a little spat between kids. What’s the big deal? Just pay more for his medical expenses. They’re obviously just trying to extort money!”The middle-aged woman was loud and full of vitality. The shiny gold chain around her neck could really blind someone.Just looking at her wrist, Nicole saw that she was wearing eight to nine bracelets, some of which were Cartier bracelets.It was clear at a glance that her family was rich and most likely a parvenu.Nicole looked at her a few times but did not seem to have an impression of this woman. It seemed that she never met the woman in the circle.The teacher desperately shot looks at her sister, signaling for her not to say anything further.However, the middle-aged woman seemed to have endless resentme
The chubby middle-aged woman snorted as if she was conferring a favor.“Fine, since we’re all here, let’s talk about it. The kids got into a fight, so I’ll handle the medical expenses.”The teacher walked over. “Tell Max to apologize and pay for the medical expenses.”The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows. “What? Apologize? What do children know? What’s there to apologize for?”“It was Max’s fault. At first, he wanted to copy Michael’s answers and harbored a grudge when Michael refused to let him. Today, he intentionally pushed Michael down on the field. This was incredibly vile!”The teacher simply said everything without hiding any details.The middle-aged woman sneered.“Why would my son copy this little boy’s homework? He’s still so young. How could he be studying at the same grade as them? He must’ve gone through the back door, right?”The middle-aged woman stood up and walked over with her arms crossed.“It’s impossible for an apology. I don’t believe that my son wou
Nicole did not want to waste time. After calling Lil Michael, she took the bag in his hands, pulled his hand, and walked away.The teacher and Max were left behind with shocked eyes.Lil Michael saw the chubby middle-aged woman still wailing on the ground and was stunned.“How did she fall down the stairs?”The chubby middle-aged woman froze for a moment and raised her eyes to see Nicole’s cold and intimidating gaze.She shuddered slightly.Inexplicably, she panicked.Nicole smiled, turned to look at Lil Michael, and very patiently explained.“She felt that your injury wasn’t that painful, so she wanted to try it out herself.”“Oh, she’s so dumb!”......The two of them left the hospital and got into the car before Nicole found that her phone was ringing.It was from Clayton.Lil Michael muted it.Nicole glanced at him and smiled before answering the call.“Mr. Sloan, has your plane landed?”Clayton chuckled. “It just landed. I saw that you called me. Did something happ
Nicole smiled and did not continue to speak.By the time Michael grows up, perhaps Nicole’s relationship with Clayton would have settled down or they would have broken up. Who could tell?It was better to just cherish the moment!Nicole brought Michael to the office. The boy was very well-behaved and sat inside Nicole’s office obediently. He would look at some news with his iPad from time to time, and occasionally, he would look at the stock market trends. Seeing this, Nicole was surprised, but when she thought about how Clayton had always given Lil Michael the best education, it was not so strange that Michael could read these at his age.From time to time, Logan came in to deliver documents. When Logan saw Lil Michael sitting there, Logan would give him some snacks each time he came in. Thus, Lil Michael became Logan’s little fan.“Uncle Logan, you’re really amazing! Do you get to spend all day with Pretty Lady? In the future, I also want to study hard and be like you so that
Before Clayton could make a sound, another assistant said, “Ms. Stanton is very busy!”“Even if she’s busy, it doesn’t mean that she won’t surprise Mr. Sloan. Not to mention, Mr. Sloan has returned all the shares of the Sloan Corporation to Ms. Stanton and he’s just dealing with those company matters in name only. It’s evident how much Mr. Sloan likes her!”“Ms. Stanton still doesn’t know about this, so don’t blurt it out and ruin Mr. Sloan’s plan. Right, President?”Clayton smiled and looked at the watch on his wrist.“Right, but she’ll know sooner or later since there’s nothing to hide. It’s late, so you guys should head back. I’ll…”Before Clayton could finish his sentence, the assistant in the back stretched out his hand in shock to point forward.“That... Isn’t that Ms. Stanton?”Clayton faintly froze. His eyes instantly lit up, but in the next second, his smile faded.His eyes narrowed slightly and sank coldly.The assistant at the back went to take a closer look.“Oh,
Clayton gave Angie a deep look, lifted his feet, and left.Angie froze for a moment. Her face was slightly glum.Clayton was not a simple man. At least, he was much more complex than she had anticipated.Not many people knew of her name, Angie.It had only been a day, but Clayton had already found out.“Mr. Sloan, I just want you and Ms. Stanton to make your relationship public as soon as possible. The sooner the world knows that you’re together, the better!”Clayton paused when he heard Angie’s words.“Only then will you catch Eric off guard. That’s the only way that Eric will be more scrupulous.”Angie was a little anxious because she could not give up this opportunity.Clayton would be her biggest help.Clayton turned his head. His gaze was dark and deep as he looked at her. His thin lips parted slightly.“If you want Mr. Ferguson to be with you, I have a better way…”--Nicole and Lil Michael stood in the living room, looking at the two suitcases. The two of them looke
The living room seemed to be silent for a moment.Clayton reacted and looked serious for a moment before he smiled at Yvette.“Ms. Quimbey, you’re overthinking it. I just don’t want my beloved to see me looking so haggard. That will just reduce my charm!”Nicole laughed and looked back at Yvette.“Yvette, don’t scare him. Lil Michael will pick up on all the wrong things…”Yvette snorted and did not want to dwell on it anymore. She turned around and went back into the kitchen.Lil Michael came over and pried Clayton’s hand off of Nicole. He held up his arm that was in a cast and looked at Clayton with a straight face.“Daddy, when Pretty Lady went to pick me up from the hospital today…”Lil Michael chattered continuously as Clayton patiently waited for him to finish without interrupting him.Nicole went to the kitchen to prepare some fruit and gave Yvette a hand. She felt embarrassed for letting Yvette cook for several people.Yvette glanced outside and leaned in close to Nico
The corners of Nicole’s mouth twitched. If they continued to talk, she would probably get into a fight with Yvette.Thus, Nicole simply looked away and watched the TV show seriously.When they were eating, all three of them praised Clayton’s cooking.Even Yvette could not pick any fault with it. Yvette forgot all about her image when she ate.Nicole laughed and was speechless.Lil Michael was quipped and made funny faces on the side. He was complaining about his school and wanted to transfer to a different school. Clayton attempted to deter his son’s nonsensical actions with his stern gaze.Nicole thought about it. It was indeed not suitable for small children to continue to study in that kind of environment.“Why don’t we transfer Michael out? There’s no guarantee that the teachers there won’t be vindictive…”Clayton was very calm without the slightest fluctuation on his face.“That won’t happen. That teacher has been dismissed. That child has also left the school. I’ve discu
