Nicole finally disappeared from Eric’s life.God seemed to have played a joke on Eric.This opportunity was delivered to him and then taken away again.Why?Was Eric being tested?Felix backtracked and did not want to come over. When Felix learned that Elio came, he was so angry that he changed flights in the airport and did not touch down in Mediania at all.Felix was jealous of that genius, the junior that Professor Phillip was biased toward.After an unknown amount of time, the people in the operating room finally came out.Eric heard someone say, “The operation was a great success.”Eric stood there and seemed to sigh in relief. He leaned against the wall, and his body seemed to be drained of strength as if a taut string was broken.His hands clenched and unclenched as he listened to the laughter over there. In the end, he chose to leave in loneliness.What right did he have to appear in front of Nicole?When Eric went out, the sun was shining brightly outside. He felt
Mitchell opened his mouth. “All the choices you made were rational and correct, but Ms. Stanton doesn’t need rationality. At the most dangerous moments, I think what she needs is unwavering favoritism.”Eric fell silent and did not move.Mitchell gritted his teeth. “President, you have never favored Ms. Stanton, so why are you being so persistent?”What Mitchell was unable to figure out the most was why Eric wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to pursue Nicole again.How could Nicole compromise on someone who took advantage of her difficulties?Nicole would only get more repulsed by Eric.If Eric really wanted to ease their relationship, he should have taken the initiative to let Felix come over to treat Floyd’s illness.However, Eric did not.The chance was right in front of him, but Eric threw it away.Mitchell was speechless.It felt like Eric forced himself into a dead end and could no longer turn around.Mitchell stood there and could see the veins on Eric’s ne
Eric simply handed over Ferguson Corporation’s domestic business. Even if many others were better than Mitchell, no one was more loyal than him.More importantly, Mitchell being in that position would not create any conflict with Stanton Corporation.Eric also selfishly thought that he could get to know more about Nicole’s thoughts about him through Mitchell.He was even a little jealous of Mitchell.Eric, who seemed to have everything, was jealous of a mere assistant.Before getting on the plane, Eric sent a text message, turned off his phone, and left.Meanwhile, in the hospital.Floyd’s surgery was successful, but he was still unconscious.However, everyone was visibly excited.Due to the long wait, Aida was too tired and went back to rest.Grant was talking to Elio about the recovery. Kai was so happy that he ran to Floyd’s ward and kissed his father several times before he was dragged out by Director Sven.Nicole and Clayton were eating. To be precise, Nicole was the on
Nicole shook her head and struggled to gather her spirits.“I’m gonna wait for Dad to wake up because I want him to see me first. I can’t let Kai beat me to it!”Clayton could not understand this strange infighting between Nicole and Kai.After Floyd woke up, Elio Cosenza gave the hospital Floyd’s treatment procedure and left.Nicole did not even know when Elio had left.“I didn’t thank him properly yet. I should treat him to a meal or give him some funding for his research or something…”Nicole lamented with Clayton.Clayton said, “Don’t worry. I’ve compensated him well. He has another patient to attend to and can’t be away for too long.”Nicole nodded understandingly. Her troubles were soon swept away because Floyd was awake.As soon as Floyd opened his eyes, he did not have time to lament life when Kai shook him until his head was dizzy.Floyd was so angry that his breathing became heavier.“You little brat! Are you afraid that I’ll live too long?!”Kai came up to him ag
Not long after, Director Sven brought some doctors over for a routine examination and drove them all away.“Chairman Stanton, you’re really blessed. Your sons and daughter are all successful, your daughter-in-law is filial, and your son-in-law is also so obedient and capable. How did you get such luck?”Floyd cooperated with the examination and smiled with satisfaction.“Is that so? Aren’t you envious?”“Yeah! It’s all thanks to your son-in-law that you managed to get through this.”Floyd’s eyes widened. “Oh?”Director Sven excitedly told Floyd the full story. When Sven mentioned Elio Cosenza, his eyes were filled with so much admiration and respect that could not be hidden.However, Floyd’s focus was on Clayton. He finally felt like Clayton was dependable.Floyd recalled that when Clayton came into the ward, Clayton behaved in a way that was justified, without the slightest intention of using this to show off or take credit. Suddenly, Floyd saw Clayton in a new light.In the
Clayton caught up with Nicole in a few steps. He cupped her face that had lost weight in the past few days and looked concerned.“Have a good time. You’ve been so bored these days that you can’t eat or sleep well. Call me when you’re done, then I’ll pick you up, okay?”Nicole nodded, hugged him, then turned around and left.The driver was waiting outside for a long time.Clayton smiled and watched her leave before he turned to drive away.Yvette had been married for a while, but she was in such high spirits, and she looked a lot chubbier than before.Nicole and Julie sized Yvette up, and the two of them coincidentally exchanged a look.Nicole said, “You’ve been living the good life as the boss lady, huh?”Julie said, “Not just good, I think it’s simply too nourishing. Is Lance trying to fatten you up?”Yvette looked dumbfounded and immediately touched her face.“OMG! Right?! I knew that I got fatter, but he kept saying that I’m not fat! Ugh, men’s words are all lies!”Julie
Yvette paused and shrugged. “Well, let’s not forget that the reason Lance’s company is doing well is that Nicole completely crushed his nemesis, Harrison Corporation. Otherwise, Lance wouldn’t have gotten ahead so easily.”Nicole pondered for a few seconds before speaking lightly.“With Lance’s ability, even without me, Harrison Corporation has become obsolete, so it’s only a matter of time before Lance surpasses them. Julie’s right though. If you have the opportunity, it’s better to stay by Lance’s side to learn from him.”Yvette raised her eyebrows. “Well, let’s not talk about that. Anyway, I really can’t become a strong career woman no matter how much I learn. I’ll be thanking God as long as Quimbey Corporation doesn’t go bankrupt in my hands!”The waiter came over to serve the dishes, and everyone instantly wanted to dig in because the food looked so appetizing.This restaurant was very petit-bourgeois, quiet, and unique.A few screens blocked people from seeing their booth f
Nicole and Clayton could be together if they wanted to, and they could always break up if they lost feelings for each other.If they got married, how could they take responsibility for each other’s future?Seeing Nicole’s downcast face, Julie and Yvette suddenly realized something.Yvette blinked. “Don't tell me that you never planned on marrying Clayton and just want to sleep with him for free?!”Julie glared at Yvette. “Watch your words!”Yvette snapped her mouth shut and looked at Nicole, waiting for her answer.Nicole bowed her head. “I don’t know what I'm thinking. I just feel like my heart is in turmoil.”Julie pursed her lips and put down her fork.“Forget it. Let’s not go shopping. Until your results come out, you can still hesitate and backtrack. Let’s go and check it out first, yeah?”Yvette nodded in agreement. “Yeah, we’ll accompany you to the hospital.”Julie immediately refused. “We can’t! With Nicole’s identity, once she goes to the hospital, the whole world wi
