Clayton came very quickly. His car arrived before the reporters came.Julie hitched a ride with them, and Clayton sent her to her office.Nicole wanted to follow Julie and get out of the car, but Julie rejected her outrightly.“Tea time is over. Have a safe journey home!”Clayton politely said goodbye and started the car engine.Before Nicole asked how Shane became an actor, Clayton said, “Baby, shall we move out of the mansion?”Nicole paused.She immediately understood what Clayton meant.It was not convenient for them to keep staying at the Stanton Mansion, but it was indeed more convenient for Chatty to crawl everywhere there.Clayton continued, “Isn’t Dad going to start picking Levi up from school? Let’s take Chatty home for a few days to get used to it?”Nicole thought about it for a while and agreed.It was mainly because Chatty was too happy in the mansion.Clayton glanced at her with a smile, then turned the steering wheel and drove toward their apartment.Nicole
Nicole was still in Erethea when she received the invitation to this auction.Grant wanted to make her happy, so he asked her to participate in such activities more often.Although she did not have an extra invitation, she did not need one to enter and only needed to show her face.Thus, Nicole gave Luke the invitation as soon as she got home.A few days later, the auction went ahead as scheduled.Nicole and Clayton went together. She wore a beige dress that made her look like an effortless beauty. Her waist also looked very slim in the dress.The highlight of this dress was that it was backless, which showed off Nicole’s beautiful and delicate back.Many guests who attended went to greet Nicole, and Nicole nodded in response.Meanwhile, Clayton had been standing behind Nicole and did not even take one step away from her.Clayton was deliberately trying to block others from seeing Nicole’s bare back.If he had known that Nicole wore such a sexy and beautiful dress, he would h
Nicole made a fuss until her dress was slightly wrinkled.Other guests saw this scene and knew that Clayton and Nicole had an extremely deep and sweet relationship.Finally, Clayton stopped teasing Nicole when he saw that she was getting anxious.He lowered his head, leaned forward, and pulled her body close to him.The music played.Coincidentally, they were right on the dance floor.It was easiest to appease Nicole with a gentle kiss.Clayton lingered on her lips reluctantly, and his footsteps moved gently with the music. The soothing classical music rang in his ears.When everyone saw the couple, they smiled shyly, but no one stopped to watch. Everyone dragged their partners to the dance floor one after another.Half of the song was over when Clayton raised his head slightly to look at the woman’s rosy lips, which were so charming and seductive that he wanted to bite them.His throat moved, and his eyes darkened.“Forget it, I’ll spare you this time.”Nicole did not know
Nicole watched Luke quietly for a few seconds.Under bright lights, Luke’s eyes were glimmering, as if he had the urge to break through the limits.It was the kind of youthful struggle that any self-made man would have.Nicole smiled.“Continue.”“I plan to change our research to focus on aerospace. Although there are many monopolies in the aerospace field, it’s the most extensive and lenient in terms of technological design. Our research results overlap with the aerospace field to some extent, so we’ll still be able to make it if we change direction now.”Luke said excitedly.Nicole was silent as she fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist.“So, do you have a plan?”“I had a few conversations with the people from Aerospace Corporation just now and noticed that they were unsure about the frequency of accidents in the current field. Although our technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, in some respects, Liberty’s technology is more refined and better than ours. Since we have
Clayton took Nicole’s hand and looked at her with concern.“Are you alright?”Nicole nodded and sighed.“I’m fine. Is Zach Gilbert really here?”Clayton did not just make it up to ease the situation?Clayton raised his eyebrows. “Of course, but he didn’t come alone…”Nicole was slightly startled.Tina stumbled out the entrance and watched as Zach got out of a newly bought luxury car.Zach did not even recognize his wife perhaps because Tina looked so wretched and did not act like her usual self.Although most of the people in the venue were too shy to go out and watch the show, there were a few who could not hold back their curiosity and went to the entrance.For example, Nicole and Clayton.Nicole was puzzled that Clayton also followed along.She looked around and saw that those who came over were women.Clayton was the only man there.Many people around them looked at him.Nicole whispered, “Go ahead if you’re busy!”Clayton smiled and held her hand.“I’m not busy. I
Clayton paused for a moment.His face turned dark as he looked at Nicole.Clayton was not stupid and knew that Nicole was implying something.After pondering for half a second, he said in a light voice, “I don’t know.”Nicole smiled and nudged his shoulder.“What would you do if it were you? Tina wants a divorce, and she has evidence of his affairs, so Zach will most likely end up with nothing. His company isn’t doing very well. Once there is a financial problem, it’s very likely that he has to declare bankruptcy. Getting a divorce now won’t benefit him at all. He definitely knows this. Zach suddenly fell into this dilemma. So, if you were in his situation, what would you do?”Nicole was curious what Clayton would do if he was in Zach’s shoes.Clayton seemed to know what Nicole was thinking and smiled helplessly.He sighed and somewhat regretted standing here.It was simply an unexpected disaster.“Baby, I’ll never become such a scumbag. There are no what-ifs in this world. I
Clayton stood there looking like a gentleman.His self-confidence, tenderness, elegance, and reserve gave others the feeling that Clayton was someone who could compete with Eric Ferguson in Atlanta.Nicole did not seem to feel anything when the bidding price increased.She stood there quietly as she thought, ‘Is it too wasteful to use this diamond as a brooch?’The woman next to Eric could no longer stand still.The bidding price was already close to $200 million...At first, Cheryl felt excited, but now, she began to panic and felt guilty.Cheryl thought that her passing comment triggered Eric’s interest in bidding.She tugged at Eric’s sleeve and said in a low voice, “Forget it, Mr. Ferguson. I don’t like it that much…”Her brother, Gerard, would reprimand her if he found out about this.Eric frowned, glanced at her without saying anything, and continued to bid.It seemed like he would not give up until he achieved his goal.Cheryl was apprehensive.She seemed a little e
In an instant, Cheryl froze in place.She suddenly understood all of Eric’s abnormal behavior tonight.Eric bid a sky-high price for that raw diamond not because of Chery’s passing compliment, but because he wanted to give the best things to Nicole, even when Nicole was already married to someone else!Thus, when Nicole offered a price, Eric immediately stopped bidding.Was it because he was afraid that Nicole would spend more money, or because he was afraid that Nicole would get angry?Cheryl could not imagine what was the relationship between Eric and Nicole.Thinking of this, Cheryl immediately called Gerard.Her tone was restrained and calm.“Brother, what’s the relationship between Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Stanton?”Gerard was silent. “You just returned to Mediania, so you don’t know what happened between them. Anyway, don’t harbor any thoughts about him.”After speaking, Gerard hung up the phone.Cheryl stood there in a trance when Eric’s driver came over and asked her, “M
