Yvette laughed. "Anyway, I’m just reminding you so that you can get more people to protect yourself. Don’t get abducted again because you gotta attend my wedding!”Nicole felt relieved and laughed.“Don’t worry, Ms. Quimbey! I promise not to miss it!”The two talked about a few other things before hanging up.It was only 8:15 am. Nicole did not feel sleepy anymore.Recently, there was no regularity to her biological clock. Nicole would sleep until she woke up naturally.Perhaps it was because she drank alcohol last night that her head hurt a little this morning.Nicole washed up and went out, thinking of making hangover tea.However, the living room was quiet and peaceful.Kai, who was supposed to be sleeping on the sofa, was also gone. All that could be seen were traces of someone having slept there.Nicole froze for a moment. Could it be that Kai had left early in the morning?She thought that Kai was pretty tactful.Nicole looked at the door of the guest room. It was ver
Clayton finished freshening up. He went upstairs to change his clothes and came back down with a list in his hand, which he handed over to Kai. “Grant and Aida have already left. I didn’t have time to give it to them, so can you pass this on for me?”Kai wrinkled his eyebrows. He took it and looked at the long list of books.“What’s this? ‘A Guide for Babies and Toddlers’, ‘What to Do When Your Child Cries’, ‘How to Be a Qualified Parent’... What’s all this?”Clayton paused. “I’ve read these books before and found them quite useful, but some of them aren’t available here. I’ll get someone to bring them back from abroad. These are available here, so Grant and Aida don’t have to waste their time looking around…”In terms of raising children, Clayton was really experienced.Nicole nodded. “Grant and Aida will definitely need it!”Kai did not understand and looked up in a daze. He was puzzled.“Why would they need this?”Clayton said, “Isn’t Aida pregnant? She can start making prep
Nicole and Clayton were dumbfounded.Clayton’s face darkened.He was annoyed and he looked away. ‘I shouldn’t be calculative with a kid…’Clayton just squeezed Nicole’s palm to express his dissatisfaction.Nicole laughed lightly. “Why would I break up with him?”“This guy looks even weaker than before, as if he can just drop dead at any time. You should be with someone a little healthier, that can live longer…”The corner of Clayton’s eyes twitched. He was speechless.Nicole let out a laugh. “Don’t worry. He’ll live long enough. He’s just not feeling well recently.”Hayley nodded superficially and still had her doubts.Soon after, Hayley smiled and spoke.“Do you want me to be your guide? I’m very familiar with this place, so I know what’s nice here!”Nicole was just about to refuse when Clayton, who was on the side, could not help but speak up.“Sorry, I’m not feeling too well. I’m afraid that I can’t walk too far…”Hayley did not conceal her disgusted gaze as she sized h
Clayton nodded. Of course, he remembered.Not everyone could accept such ugliness.That was why Nicole was still thinking about it.Clayton patted her hand. “How about this? We can set up a foundation to help trafficked women and children around the world so that they’ll be able to find a way back. What do you think?”Nicole’s body stiffened slightly. She looked at him in shock. Her bright eyes instantly lit up.“Really? I want to help them, but I don’t know how to. Although Caleb’s dead, they’re not necessarily rescued. This will be perfect!”Clayton slowly smiled.Wow, what a kind-hearted girl.The rest of his words were held back.Although this approach was probably a drop in the bucket and would be troublesome, at least this would make her happy, so it was worth it.Nicole leaned on Clayton’s shoulder and smiled. “We can set up a voluntary organization that can provide clues to the professionals. Then, the professionals can handle it. They can give this information to the
When they arrived at the manor, they could easily get in even without an invitation based on Nicole’s face.Luca was carrying the clothes in the back, looking just like he had just returned from a shopping spree with Nicole.After asking for the room number, Nicole was just about to go upstairs when she suddenly saw Lance and a group of people coming over.Nicole had to admit that Lance was glowing and spirited now that he was about to get married. He looked a lot better than the last time she met him.Everyone saw Nicole, so she could not hide even if she wanted to.“Ms. Stanton? What brings you here?”“Yes, Ms. Stanton, if you’d come earlier, you wouldn’t have missed the barbecue lunch just now…”“Ms. Stanton, let’s go play golf together?”......Nicole smiled and politely declined. “I’m not here to do business today. I’m here to find my friend. Everyone, please enjoy yourselves. Let’s get together again some other day…”Everyone smiled and nodded. Naturally, they did not f
Lance wanted to go see Yvette but did not get Iris’s answer.Iris raised her eyes to look at him stiffly, as if she did not expect Lance to directly express his preference for Yvette.In the company, everyone knew that Yvette came in through the back door.Furthermore, her relationship with Lance was somewhat unusual.In an ordinary company, which president would patiently teach an assistant how to handle a project or how to amend tables?However, whatever Yvette did not know, she would either go straight to Hans or Lance to ask.Hans was always strict with them, but for some reason, he explained some of the most basic problems to Yvette patiently.This showed that even the back door Yvette went through was unusual.Although it was not brought up to the surface, rumors brewed privately.As soon as Hans left, Yvette started to ask them when she encountered something she did not know how to do.However, how could other people get used to her?After Iris scolded her while takin
It was a large vacation resort, so it was impossible that there was not a single attendant around.Yvette shrugged. “My colleague said that she would call someone for me, but no one came. My phone broke and I just finished showering, so I couldn’t let others come either. That’s why.”Nicole frowned and pondered as she watched Yvette go inside while holding the clothes.A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.“Luca?”Nicole asked.Luca said, “Yes, Ms. Stanton. Mr. Sheldon wants to see Ms. Quimbey.”Nicole rolled her eyes. Even without thinking, she knew that this matter today had something to do with Lance.Yvette suffered injustice but did not notice it herself.However, as a bystander, Nicole knew very well.Yvette was set up by someone.“No. Tell him to get lost.”Nicole spoke unceremoniously.The two people outside were stunned.Luca calmly relayed Nicole’s words to Lance.“No. Get lost.”Luca did not bother to reword it to make it sound more euphemistic
Just as Yvette was hesitating, Nicole came from behind and spoke up casually.“That’s fine. You should handle your work first...”Yvette frowned. “But you’re already here...”Nicole smiled. “I don’t have to go to work anyway, so I’ll just go to your office. We can leave together when you get off work.”Lance frowned.Yvette hugged her joyfully. “Sure, it’s settled then!”What a great way to have the best of both worlds!Lance was speechless.Nicole looked at him with a smile. “Can I go to your office to wait for Yvette to get off work, Mr. Sheldon?”Lance smiled and nodded.Of course. Since Nicole asked personally, and it was not an unreasonable request, Lance could not refuse.Furthermore, back then, Nicole completely wiped out his greatest rival, Harrison Corporation, with just a single move. That was what led to the rise of Sheldon Corporation.Even if it was just a business partnership, Lance could not easily refuse Nicole’s request.Yvette was overjoyed. She pulled Ni
