Clayton spoke flawlessly, making it impossible to find any fault with him.Hank Jensen narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.Clayton said, “Perhaps I’m too used to being an investor, so now that my role is different, I have to make something clear. After you evaluate the project and want to cooperate with me, I won’t allow anyone else other than the political party’s technical personnel to interfere on my side. That means whether you decide to cooperate with Stanton Corporation or Ferguson Corporation in the future, they won’t have the right to tell me what to do. Perhaps at some point, they will even have to listen to me.”Clayton finished speaking and quietly observed Hank’s expression.Hank’s smile faded, and he gradually became serious.What an old fox.Hank picked up a bargain, yet he still did not allow others to mention their conditions?Hank completely understood Clayton’s intent.The best option was to choose Stanton Corporation so as not to create any hostility between
Yvette touched her hair and suddenly realized something. “I forgot! Why am I at your house? I’ll leave now!”With that, she grabbed her phone and headed out.The person on the phone spoke in a suppressed tone.“Yvette, hurry back to your room and go to sleep!”Yvette froze in place when she heard that.She looked around dumbfounded as she tried to recognize whose house she was in.Clayton picked Nicole up with one hand.“Ms. Quimbey, you should go in and rest. I’ll take Nicole with me.”Luckily, they were drinking at home. They would have been in trouble if they were outside.Yvette froze. “Oh, okay. Go back home then. Goodbye!”A voice once again came through the phone that Yvette was holding.“Yvette, hurry back to bed! If you drink so much again next time, watch how I’ll clean you up!”Lance was ruthless and talkative. He was helpless over the video call.The maid sent Clayton out and said, “Mr. Sloan, have someone make Ms. Stanton some hangover tea before she sleeps. O
Zane had to ask for clarification.Before Lance went on a business trip, he clearly instructed Zane not to let the company’s affairs affect Yvette’s normal life as much as possible.In other words, they should solve all the small and miscellaneous things.What did Lance’s phone call mean now?Lance wanted Yvette to work overtime?Zane was afraid that he got the wrong idea. That was why he wanted to clarify this.Lance’s voice was dull across the phone.“I just want you to find something for her to do. Ms. Quimbey couldn’t sleep well because I’m not around, so it’ll be better to divert her attention.”Zane said, “Understood, Mr. Sheldon. Don’t worry. I promise to make it so that Ms. Quimbey falls asleep as soon as she gets home!”So that’s what it is.Unknowingly, Lance just showed off his affection for Yvette.Lance let out a faint “mm” and hung up the phone in satisfaction.Zane was truly quick-witted. He understood without much explanation from Lance.The next day.Yvet
Seeing Yvette’s reluctant expression, Zane coughed and spoke.“If you really don’t want to do it, I can do it after I finish my work, but it’ll have to wait until tomorrow. I’m afraid it would delay the schedule…”Yvette rolled her eyes when she saw his torn expression.As a vice president, Yvette had to use her precious time to do these things that even an ordinary employee would not do.Hmph!“Fine, just put it here. I’ll look for it.”Yvette was really helpless, but she had no other way.She would tell Lance about this when he comes back.Zane’s eyes lit up. “Really? Thank you, Ms. Quimbey! No wonder Mr. Sheldon said that we can come to you if there’s anything. You’re the best!”The corner of Yvette’s mouth twitched. “Cut the crap and get out.”Zane nodded and disappeared in the blink of an eye.Yvette was speechless.Zane went out and sent a message to Lance.[Mr. Sheldon, if Ms. Quimbey complains to you, I hope that you won’t deduct my salary!]After all, Zane was ju
Clayton replied. [Are you choosing a school for our baby girl so soon?]Nicole could not help but laugh lightly. Clayton thought that she was choosing a school for Chatty?[I came here to pick Lil Michael up from school. Isn’t he on school break?]Clayton replied. [Is he?]Nicole was speechless. [......]Did Clayton really live with his son all these years?Clayton felt a little guilty. At that moment, he no longer had the mood to work. When he looked at the time, it was already too late for him to rush over.He then called the nanny who took care of Lil Michael.“Is Michael on school holiday?”The nanny froze for a moment. “Yes, his school break starts tomorrow.”“Why didn’t you tell me?”The nanny replied, “Sir, I sent you a message last night, and you replied ‘Got it’...”Did Clayton just reply without taking it seriously?Originally, they thought that Clayton would neglect Lil Michael after having his own baby. Now that Clayton has a daughter, won’t Lil Michael be even
Lil Michael looked at Nicole with a smile. “Pretty Lady, I heard that you gave birth to a baby girl! Can I play with her?”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Of course! You’re her elder brother. But she can’t walk yet, so she can only play with you when she’s a little older.”Lil Michael rubbed his hands together as if he was looking forward to it.He has a sister now.This surprise kept him happy for several days. He wanted to come out to see his sister long ago.Unfortunately, his dad watched him too closely and had people following him everywhere, so he could not sneak out.Michael only found out about this little surprise from the bodyguard and nanny’s conversation.Stanton Mansion.Lil Michael ran in happily.Floyd was waiting for him at the door.Lil Michael was even more affectionate with Floyd than he was with his own father. The boy went up to Floyd and hugged and kissed him endlessly.Floyd was so happy that he could not stop smiling. “Aww… My precious child! You must be
Nicole's body gradually recovered. She went to the hospital several times for a checkup, but the doctors were really at their wits’ end with her memory loss.Her health indicators were already back to normal, but she just could not recover her memory.However, Nicole did not care or worry about it since it did not affect her daily life.After a few days, Nicole and Kai attended a business party together.Nicole rarely appeared in public, so everyone was surprised.There were many rumors saying that Nicole was sick and could not leave the house, but her beautiful and healthy appearance showed that she did not seem to be sick.Nicole even looked more radiant than before.Everyone suppressed their inner thoughts and went forward to exchange pleasantries one after another.“Ms. Stanton, I haven’t seen you in a long time. How have you been?”“Ms. Stanton, I heard that you gave birth to a daughter? Is it true? When will you be hosting a party for your child?” “When are you coming
Riley thought that the mood was right, so he went up to Nicole and spoke."Nicole, I’ve seen a few projects that can make a lot of money. Do you want a part in it?”Nicole had only been talking to him for a while, and she could already figure out his purpose.Riley could not hide his true intentions.“Not interested. If you want to talk business, you can go to my third brother.”“How can Kai be interested in my kind of small project?”Riley was very excited. “It can really make a profit. Trust me!”Nicole held back her temper since she did not want to lash out here. However, she also lost interest in this conversation.“Can’t you get this bit of money from your family? If your family doesn’t have so much, get it from your aunt. Didn’t she always love you? How could you be short of money?”A trace of gloominess, envy, and hatred crossed Riley’s face. “It’s all because of Ian! He kept saying that something was wrong with my accounts and kicked me out of the company. He wouldn’t
