Mitchell was also helpless regarding Quinn and Ingrid.“The information we got earlier is consistent with what Mr. Sloan told us. Madam Ferguson and Ms. Ferguson are in Falcon’s hands. But the day before Falcon returned to South Africa, the two of them suddenly disappeared. They searched everywhere, but there was no news of Mrs. Ferguson and Miss Ferguson. I presume that they escaped on their own…?”This would be the best scenario, escaping by themselves without falling into anyone’s hands.Eric’s face was cold, and his eyes were dark.“If they ran away, why didn’t they contact us? How far can they run anyway?”Even if Ingrid was stupid, Quinn should understand that only Eric could protect them.However, to this day, no one contacted him.Their people could not find Quinn’s and Ingrid’s whereabouts either.This was a little strange.Mitchell was silent.“Did Tyler find out? Perhaps he got to them first?”Eric’s face was stern for a moment. He was trying to suppress the surgi
When Grant heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He almost forgot that Yvette was now Lance’s wife.Grant nodded and had already picked up his coat.“Okay, it’s settled then. I’ll go by myself.”The assistant nodded.“By the way, if Eric sends a contract over, send it to me as soon as possible.”“Yes, sir.”The assistant paused and thought to himself, ‘Is Mr. Stanton planning to cooperate with Mr. Ferguson?’When Grant arrived at Nicole’s house, he could already smell the aroma of barbecue before he went inside.As soon as he entered the door, he heard children’s laughter inside.Chatty was laughing loudly. A simple little toy was enough to make her laugh like she was getting paid for it.She was unlike Levi, who was not interested in any of those toys. Levi was just stacking Lego seriously.When Levi heard Grant’s voice, he was a little excited. He put down the things in his hand, ran over with his short legs, stretched out his hands, and begged for a hug.“Daddy…”Gra
Grant hung up the phone.Another car drove up from a distance. It was the designated car of that barbecue restaurant.Grant narrowed his eyes. Two young waiters got out of the car and walked over with a smile.“The charcoal that Ms. Stanton ordered…”Grant’s eyes flickered, and he nodded.The waiter asked him with a warm smile, “Do you need our help to carry it up for you?”Grant shook his head. “No need, just leave it here. By the way, are you the only ones who came to deliver things?”The waiter nodded. “Yes. Ms. Stanton is our VIP customer, so our manager specially ordered us to deliver it as soon as possible. It’s been exactly fifteen minutes since she placed the order.”Grant pursed his lips in silence.Fifteen minutes was indeed the fastest time from that restaurant’s location to Nicole’s place.This meant that someone got the news faster than the restaurant.Grant pondered and said, “Thank you.”The waiter smiled and left.After Grant pondered for a while, he made a
Nicole suddenly had an appetite when she smelled the grilled mutton.Seeing Clayton’s eager and expectant gaze, Nicole suppressed the desire to control her diet and said, “I’ll just have one skewer. I shouldn’t eat too much.”Clayton nodded.Nicole took a bite. The mutton was juicy and tender. It was indescribably delicious and not greasy at all. It was grilled to perfection.Her eyes lit up, and she gave Clayton a thumbs up.Clayton put another skewer in her hand.“Have another one then. It won’t make much of a difference. Just drink a glass of cucumber juice later if you feel that it’s greasy.”Nicole nodded happily.Yvette watched this scene on the side and immediately shook his head.Was this the Great President Nicole that she knew?Clayton went back and continued to grill more meat with satisfaction.After a while, Lance came in.“You’re not coming out to eat?”Yvette held her breath and tried her best to restrain her anger.“I’m not eating. I’m on a diet.”Lance p
Julie said a few words in the group chat and began to change the topic.[Have you chosen the bridal gown?][Where are you planning to go on your honeymoon?][Carter, do you have anything you want in particular? If not, we’ll just give you money!]......Finally, Yvette’s words were pushed up in the group chat. Nicole sent a message to Ian. [?]Ian replied. [.]Nicole texted him back. [OK.]It was a strange reply, but both of them understood the meaning.Ian had already confirmed the wedding, and it was not a joke.Nicole put away her phone and spoke to Clayton calmly.“Let’s prepare a gift.”Clayton nodded.Ian was Nicole’s best friend, so they needed to prepare something more expensive.Chatty was playing with her bottle as she squirmed around in Clayton’s arms. Suddenly, Chatty accidentally spilled milk on him.Clayton paused and calmly patted Chatty on the shoulder.“Lil Chatty, you’re amazing! You can twist open the bottle!”Chatty was not at all worried about be
Nicole felt that if she did not stop Clayton now, it would be difficult to end it later.Clayton was stunned and looked at her seriously with dark eyes.“What’s the matter? You don’t wanna look anymore?”Nicole felt like a domineering bully.Why was she bullying Clayton?Her toes curled in embarrassment.Nicole said calmly, “You undressed very well. Do it again later at night.”Clayton was silent.He calmly buttoned his shirt again and took a deep look at Nicole.“Sure.”Anyway, he was very happy to do this for Nicole.In the evening, when the nanny came back, she went over to greet Chatty happily.The nanny saw that Nicole and Clayton were calmly watching a movie in the living room.The mood was just right.They sat there until Chatty could not stay awake and started yawning. Clayton then asked the nanny to tuck Chatty into bed.Clayton looked at Nicole with a burning gaze as if there was a violent storm brewing in the darkness.Nicole felt a little regretful because s
Nicole dressed up nicely and had to go out of the house.Thus, Luca accompanied her to Clayton’s office.Nicole also called Floyd and said that she would take Chatty back for dinner.When Floyd heard this, he became energetic and muttered, “I told you that you didn’t have to bring her home. Look how convenient it would be if she stayed with me!”Nicole went straight to Clayton’s office without telling him, so Clayton did not know of her arrival.Clayton’s assistant was surprised by Nicole’s sudden visit, but he understood immediately after seeing the expensive pink diamond necklace around Nicole’s neck.“Madam, please wait a few minutes. Mr. Sloan is conducting an international video conference at the moment, so it may take a while.”Nicole nodded understandingly and took a seat on the side.The assistant brought over her favorite coffee, so she thanked him and put it aside.“Go about your business. You don’t need to worry about me.”“Yes, ma’am.”Clayton had no physical bus
When Chatty woke up, the assistant brought in some dessert and coffee.Clayton finished some of the more urgent matters and pushed the rest to the afternoon.“Baby, you heard it just now. Tyler’s someone who would do anything for money. You can’t go out in public during this time unless you bring enough bodyguards.”Nicole nodded. She did not like to risk her life.“I know. I won’t go anywhere in the near future except for the office and Ian’s wedding.”Ian’s wedding was a must.Clayton nodded.He hesitated for a moment before he said, “Did Eric approach you recently?”Nicole shook her head calmly.“No, but I don’t know if he approached my brother. What’s wrong?”Clayton paused, and he looked serious.“It’s nothing. Mr. Ferguson’s family is in Tyler’s hands. I’m just afraid that he’ll do something in a moment of impulse.”Nicole frowned slightly.“Aren’t Ingrid and Quinn with Falcon?”Clayton was silent for a few seconds.“I’m not sure. Falcon is also looking for them.”
