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
Yvette paused for a second and inexplicably calmed down.She suddenly realized that she had overreacted.They had just met. Moreover, with their kind of relationship, it seemed like there was no place to talk about jealousy.Lance’s shirt was somewhat wrinkled, and there were lipstick marks on the collar.It looked ambiguous and tender.Noticing Yvette’s line of sight, Lance looked down. His expression turned a little uncomfortable.He tugged on his shirt and coughed. His voice was dry and hoarse.“I’ll go change.”Yvette’s eyes flickered. “I also want to change, but I haven’t brought my things over yet.”She looked around. Lance brought her to the new house they were about to move into.Lance paused for a few seconds, got up, and took a shirt from his closet. It was a little too small for him, but it was probably a little wide for her.As he hesitated on whether to give it to her, Yvette was already sitting on the bed, flinging her long and slender legs.She waited for him
Lance did not touch Yvette when she was drunk. That was the most basic trait that he had as a gentleman.Especially since Yvette was his wife that he recently married, he wanted to leave a good impression on her.However, now that Yvette was sober, there was no reason for him to let go of the new Mrs. Sheldon.Yvette had never seen Lance lose control like he did at this moment.Lance wanted to continue even after they did it once, but his phone kept ringing as if it would never stop. He suddenly felt so conflicted and irritated by it.Yvette was also very annoyed. It was enough to do it once. She did not want to continue.However, Lance’s appetite only seemed to grow. He became greedy, so she had to work hard to keep up with him.She pushed him away. Her voice was hoarse and dry. She no longer had the energy she used to tease him earlier.“Go answer the phone.”Lance’s hand was still holding her waist. The feeling of her body in his hand was so good that he could not bear to l
Hans smiled politely. “Mr. Sheldon said that you’ll need to move these days and told me to stay and help. This is my phone number. You can contact me anytime if you need anything.”He handed over his business card. Yvette accepted it and nodded.“Okay, I’ll contact you.”Lance arranged everything and even left his assistant behind. He was quite considerate.Hans nodded. “Then I won’t bother you. Goodbye, Ms. Quimbey.”Yvette closed the door, changed her clothes, and went back to her apartment to pack her things.She was not that worried about moving.Hans was extremely efficient. With one phone call, everything was arranged in less than a morning. He even called for a professional housekeeper to go up and sort out her clothes after moving in.......A few days later.Nicole attended a bidding meeting. There was a project that Yvette’s company had always wanted, so she called Yvette over.Yvette looked vibrant and ruddy. Nicole smiled, and the two went in together.There wer
While Nicole was exchanging pleasantries with others, Yvette handed a secret agreement to Sean’s ex-wife.In the car, Sean’s ex-wife hurriedly caught up before they could even start the car.She threw the agreement in her hand back at Yvette.Her face was tinged with resentment and anger.“What are you doing? Humiliating me?”Yvette looked at the transfer agreement that she had just signed, flipped through it a few times, and smiled.“You think too much. Don’t you want this project very much?”“I admit that I lost, but I won’t give you the chance to humiliate me.”Yvette pursed her lips. On the document, it was written that it was transferred to Sean’s ex-wife for a bid price of $6 million.Yvette got it for $9 million and sold it for $6 million.Yvette did something that only a fool would do.She chuckled softly. “It’s not like I have too much money to spend. Even if I put in more to this land, the profit will also be limited.“However, the cost is relatively low. You want
When Sean’s ex-wife cried enough, she laughed, stood up, and handed the agreement to the assistant.“How could that be? We have a chance. We don’t have to declare bankruptcy.”The assistant looked at the transfer agreement and was ecstatic.“It’s a lot lower than the price we expected. We’re really saved!”Sean’s ex-wife nodded.She knew that she should not have taken it. Taking it meant that she could no longer blame Yvette for being a homewrecker.She would not be able to stand on moral high ground and criticize Yvette’s character.However, she also knew.What did Yvette do wrong?If it were a starlet or an ordinary girl, she would not have been able to hold back even before the divorce. That was the standard for a mistress and a third party.That high and mighty Ms. Quimbey had always been among the top in the circle. How could she be reduced to being someone else’s mistress?She knew very well that Yvette was duped.However, she could not help it. The first time Sean pr
