Shock was written all over Nicole’s face.“Were you mistaken?”Clayton’s face was calm as he shook his head.“No. Kirsi was Samuel’s female companion in one of the banquets I attended before. He introduced her then, so I have an impression of her.”For a moment, the good impression that Nicole had of Kirsi collapsed.Although it was common that certain relationships in the entertainment industry were bizarre, the people around Nicole were still considered normal.Kirsi’s performance tonight was quite respectable. Moreover, she was also from an affluent family, so Nicole felt more relatable to her.However, at this moment, all the good feelings she had were gone.Clayton saw Nicole’s complicated expression and pursed his lips.“Do you want milk tea?”Nicole shook her head.“How could this happen?”Clayton smiled. “Forget it. Don’t think about it. Why should you care so much about other people’s affairs? It’s just good to know.”Nicole nodded and sighed.“I wonder if that s
Lil Michael sheepishly looked away and took the opportunity to slip away.Nicole laughed and slapped Clayton’s arm, chiding him for being too harsh.“What’s the point of scaring him?”Clayton habitually smiled and took her hand. He squeezed the back of her hand and carried his daughter upstairs.A few days later, the news about Riley and that delicate girl spread.Everyone knew that Riley was duped, so Riley felt ashamed. He was not sad, just angry.After all, he was just playing around with that woman.Riley often had control over everything in this aspect, but now that he got tricked, he was so angry that he was annoyed at everything for several days.Although Riley did not like that girl much, he spent a lot of money on her because she was obedient and was good at sweet-talking.Now, Riley just felt like a fool.He put out the word so that the woman would not be able to get any benefits from his connections.Initially, the delicate girl could still rely on some people in
However, it was not difficult If Mitchell wanted to come.Clayton smiled without lacking courtesy.Mitchell smiled and took out one large and one small box.“A gift for your daughter and Ms. Stanton. I hope you’ll accept it.”Clayton’s gaze turned colder. He laughed somewhat playfully.“Sure. Thank you, Mr. Crawford.”Earlier, Mitchell was a little nervous as he was worried what he would do if Clayton refused.He did not expect Clayton to accept it so simply.Clayton took a small sip of the wine from the glass in his hand. His gaze was dull with no other emotions. “Please send my regards to the person who gave these gifts. My family and I wish that he’ll build his own family too.”Mitchell stiffened.Clayton had already guessed who sent the gifts.It was not surprising that Clayton would expose it.Mitchell smiled. “Yes, I’ll definitely convey it.”However, he did not dare to convey it.Eric did not even have a woman near him, so how would he build his own family?Was Cl
Clayton, who knew the reason, had a puzzled look on his face. “Oh? I think it’s quite normal.”“But she won’t let me touch your daughter!”Clayton looked at Samuel. “I won’t let you touch her either.”Samuel was speechless and thought, ‘Oh, then I guess I was overthinking it!”......Nicole carried Chatty, glanced at Lumi, and casually asked, “We met your sister the other day at Ian’s birthday party!”Lumi lowered her head to play with Chatty.When she heard this, she responded insouciantly.“I heard! She also has it quite hard on the set. I’ll go back and see her!”The corner of Nicole’s mouth twitched.“You guys are pretty close, huh? I heard that you’re not…”Lumi stood up straight and looked at Nicole speechlessly. She reprimanded Nicole in a soft voice, “How can you talk about someone else’s privacy so openly? In front of me, at that!”Nicole pursed her lips and sheepishly shut her mouth.However, she just wanted to remind Lumi to be wary of Kirsi.Julie was not far
Suddenly, Nicole stood there, seemingly unable to hear any sounds. Everything in the outside world swept past her. Lights flashed past her eyes, and the unbearable sorrow at the bottom of her heart surged up.The feelings at the bottom of her heart came even faster than the memories.Nicole did not know why she suddenly felt so sad, but after that moment of sadness, she felt relieved.The wine bottle shattered on the ground, and the noise around Nicole suddenly flooded her eardrums with clarity.Nicole stood there with a pale face while maintaining her stance.The sharp pain on her forehead gradually spread to every nerve in her body.The pain was excruciating.Nicole could not seem to stand any longer.In the next second, she fell into a warm embrace.“Nicole…”That familiar voice was anxious and frightened.In that instant, her heart suddenly settled down.The sadness and suffocation she felt just now seemed like an illusion. Although she experienced those events, she cou
The party could no longer continue. While most guests left, some stayed behind.Ian Carter did not follow Clayton upstairs. He just stood in the place where Nicole was attacked earlier. He looked down at the delicate girl that was crying on the ground with a gloomy and cold face.It was a different situation from the past when this girl was just pestering him. Back then, he only felt annoyed, but now, Ian had an impulse to beat her up.The delicate girl whimpered. The makeup on her face was all messed up. Only now did she feel how serious her offense was.The Stanton family was much more powerful than Riley. If she did not even dare to offend Riley, how did she get the courage to find trouble with Nicole?At that moment, she did not even know how she would end up.Ian stood in front of the girl indifferently. His gaze was oozing with cold intent.“You really are crazy…” He said.The delicate girl abruptly stopped crying. When she saw Ian standing there, she looked at him like h
Floyd knew that Clayton was going downstairs to look for the woman who attacked Nicole, so he did not ask about it and nodded.The Stanton family could afford the consequences no matter what Clayton decided to do.Nicole was immersed in happiness just a while ago, so those who ruined her happiness would have to pay the price.Kai came back after sending off the guests. He did not go upstairs but stood there with Grant, staring at the crazy woman on the ground.The hotel manager was scared out of his wits. He had been outside attending to something else. Who knew such an accident would happen in the hall?The hotel manager was called Mr. Litt.Mr. Litt’s face was pale as he explained on the side, “Mr. Stanton, it’s our mistake. We didn’t let her in on purpose. We just hired some temporary staff when we were setting up the venue because we were short-handed… I didn’t know that they’d recruit such a crazy person who even hurt Ms. Stanton. We’re truly sorry…”Grant’s face was glum,
The delicate girl squirmed around. She did not want to say anything, but the two bodyguards behind her suddenly pulled her arms back with force.Her face turned white from the pain.She immediately opened her mouth.“Ms. Stanton told Riley about my relationship with Mr. Carter, so Riley came to find trouble with me. I just couldn’t stand his constant pestering, so I wanted to settle the score with Ms. Stanton!”Yvette ran down from upstairs with a glum face.“You have the guts to settle accounts with Nicole, but don’t dare to confront Riley? Are you out of your mind?”The delicate girl was shocked and sobbed. “I was just too impulsive. I wouldn’t have done it if I thought it through.”Clayton stood aside and listened quietly before he spoke indifferently.“It’s that simple?”The delicate girl nodded timidly.Clayton averted his gaze, beckoned to Mr. Litt, and whispered a few words.Mr. Litt’s face changed slightly. His eyes darkened when he looked at the delicate girl.Howe
