Nicole rolled her eyes and pinched Ian, glaring at him with a fake smile.“Shut up. Yvette isn’t that kind of person!”Julie looked at her with questioning eyes.Nicole pursed her lips, looked at Yvette, and raised her chin.“Go on!”Yvette cleared her throat and took out a document from her bag and handed it over.“I’m married!”There was a moment of silence.Except for Nicole, the other two people sat there dumbfounded like they were struck by lightning, not reacting at all.Yvette frowned, took a step forward, and held the document in front of their eyes.“This isn’t fake. I’m really married!”Julie was the first to react and took a look at it.It really was not fake!However, the name of the groom was not Sean Moore, but Lance Sheldon.Ian leaned over to look and was also stunned.The two of them exchanged glances.Julie pursed her lips. “Yvette, you...”On the contrary, Ian sighed in relief.“Oh, thank goodness it’s not Sean! I was worried that love killed all yo
The woman stopped and looked back at Yvette.“You admit it?”Yvette held onto the sink so that she would not fall.“Admit to what? I didn’t know about you before your divorce. I broke up with him after I found out. After your divorce, I accepted him again only because he chased after me so fervently. Why are you calling me a third party? You and your sister criticized me. Do you really think I’ll feel guilty and upset? I’m the victim here. Why should I feel sorry for you?”The woman’s face changed, but unfortunately, Yvette could not see it clearly.Yvette could only hear the woman’s voice turn extremely cold with resentment and hatred.“If it weren’t for you, my marriage wouldn’t have gone wrong. Ms. Quimbey, even if you didn’t do it on purpose, that doesn’t mean you weren’t at fault. Did you know? He already started to draw a line with my family half a year ago. Even if it meant going back to the starting point of his life and offending all his current clients and contacts, he
Yvette stood firmly before reaching out to push Lance away without the slightest hint of reluctance.It was like she was facing a stranger.“Thanks...”Yvette finished speaking and continued to walk back, but she saw that she had gone in the wrong direction. For a moment, she could not figure out if she was walking at the right place or not.Lance saw her reaction and smiled somewhat helplessly.“Where’s the room?”Yvette pursed her lips. “Call Nicole and tell her to come out and pick me up.”She went out in a hurry and left her phone in the room.Lance smiled faintly. His mature profoundness faded slightly and was replaced by warmth.“I only have her office number. She might not necessarily answer at this time.”After all, although their cooperation was a win-win situation, they did not have too deep a friendship in private.Lance had Logan’s number, but it was clear that Nicole would probably not bring her assistant to attend this kind of private party.Yvette stood there
The impression Lance left on Yvette was that he was mature, stable, meticulous, and smooth in the ways of the world. He had a soul that was indifferent to everything.That was what she thought.However, was it true?Yvette looked sideways and suddenly became overwhelmed with curiosity about the man in front of her.His ex-girlfriend took his money and ran, but he did not care in the least, as if that was not his girlfriend.Lance did not get angry, disappointed, or crazy. He did not even care.Why?In that case, what did he care about?Yvette wanted to ask, but she felt like with their current relationship, it was impossible.They were not a couple with deep feelings for each other. They were merely husband and wife in a marriage alliance who needed to cultivate their feelings.When Lance heard her words, he slowly turned his head. His eyes were dark as ink, flickering with something unknown.Yvette very skillfully flicked the cigarette ash. The cigarette had a refined and c
Yvette’s initiative made Lance lose some control over his restraint and coolness earlier. Her arms clung to his shoulders, soft and boneless but with a fatal attraction.The initiative was completely taken away from her.However, the next second, he immediately understood what “sweetness” tasted like.Indeed, it was sweet. It was sweeter than any cigarette he tasted before. The sweetness penetrated his bones.He forgot the taste of the cigarette earlier and only remembered the “sweetness” in front of him. It was a taste that made him go out of control.When he clamped down on her waist to gain dominance, she bit him hard on the lips.He had to stop.She leaned on his shoulders and panted. Her breath was burning.He did not push further either. Like her, he tried hard to restrain himself so as not to scare her.“Lance.”“Hmm?” His voice was deep as the night, yet it carried a burning temperature.Yvette’s voice was languid. “Was it sweet?”The corners of Lance’s lips curved
Nicole suddenly felt her heart soften.“If you’re tired, just ask the driver to pick me up. Since you came back, the drivers in our families have started taking vacation days...”At those words, Clayton smiled and looked at her.“I’m not tired. If it weren’t for picking you up, I’d still be busy working right now. Rather than work, I’d much prefer picking you up.”Nicole smiled and said nothing.Behind them, Ian leaned his head against the car window. He originally closed his eyes to rest, but after hearing those words, he felt so sour that he could not sleep.At home.Nicole washed up and did not rush to bed. Instead, she went to the study.The stock market had been fluctuating strangely these days.She watched in silence, and her fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard. From time to time, she looked at the material that Logan sent to her mailbox in advance.Nicole did not notice that Clayton was standing at the door of the study, watching her after he washed up.When she st
Nicole was pulled to the table, and Clayton served her some soup. She originally had no appetite, but she suddenly felt hungry.After breakfast, Nicole also sobered up and went to get dressed.Clayton had already cleaned up and looked at her with a warm gaze.“Let’s go.”Nicole smiled, and the two went out together. Downstairs at Stanton Corporation, before getting out of the car, Nicole saw an unexpected person standing there, waiting.For who?Naturally, it was for Nicole.Nicole narrowed her eyes, and the smile on her face faded.Clayton also saw the woman. “You don’t want to see her? Shall I tell Logan to come downstairs to pick you up?”Nicole did not care and smiled. “No need. I’m going in.”She opened the door and got out.Before Nicole could reach the entrance, she was unsurprisingly stopped.Angie looked at Nicole with a deep gaze, then smiled at Clayton.“Ms. Stanton, are you interested in having a short chat?”Nicole said, “Sorry, I’m not interested.”She had
As soon as Nicole entered the building, Nicole instructed the bodyguard at the door.“Keep an eye out. Don’t let that woman in.”Angie lowered her head and smiled.She really liked Nicole’s character.If it were not for Eric, maybe they could have been friends.Putting away her smile, Angie walked over and knocked on the car window.Clayton wound down the window without the slightest expression on his face.“I told you to leave her alone, didn’t I?”Angie pursed her lips and went over stiffly.“I did what you said. His company will only admit that we’re in a relationship and won’t mention anything about getting married.”Clayton’s expression was cold. “That’s your own business. Don’t involve others.”A trace of anxiety finally crossed Angie’s eyes.“He’s unmoved by force or persuasion. What can I do? If I really kill Charles, I’ll lose the bargaining chip in my hand, and he’ll get angry.”Clayton chuckled and gave her a deep look as if he was looking at an idiot.“That’ll
