Nicole avoided Chatty as if she was fleeing from a plague.Chatty did not realize that her mother was disgusted by her. The big fish was still flapping its tail in her little arms, splashing water everywhere.The little girl grinned happily.Nicole could not help but laugh and took out her phone to take a photo of Chatty.“Our little Chatty is so strong!”“Mommy! Carry it…”“Mommy doesn’t want to carry it. You can carry it yourself!”After Nicole finished speaking, Chatty pouted unhappily, carried the big fish, and turned to leave.Chatty even snorted before leaving.Nicole looked at her daughter in shock. “Who did she learn this from?!”Floyd glanced at Nicole. “Why don’t you think about who’s been at home during this time?”Nicole paused. “Third Brother?”This was very much like Kai’s temper.Chatty got back into the water, let go of the fish, and caught another fish to play with.The few fishes in the fountain were exhausted from Chatty playing around with them.Seein
Clayton’s lips could not help but curl up when he said that. He looked radiant and did not feel restrained at all.He seemed like he was proudly showing off.One of Clayton’s close friends stood up and said, “Just as well. Ms. Stanton has quite a reputation in Atlanta. We should’ve gone to visit her. Why don’t we go out and say hello?”“That’s right, Mr. Sloan. Let’s go out and say hello to your wife. You won’t mind, right?”Seeing everyone’s enthusiasm, Clayton raised his eyebrows.“Of course, I don’t mind!”Clayton took his jacket and walked out with a few people behind him.When they got to the downstairs lobby, they did not see Nicole. However, Kai stood there looking tall and slender as he asked the waiter about the latest gossip.Clayton paused and swept a glance. He could not see Nicole anywhere.He was about to walk past Kai when Kai beckoned to him.“Brother-in-law, my sister asked me to pick you up! Shall we go?”Kai swaggered over, nodded to the people behind Clay
Nicole kissed Chatty, picked up the phone, and asked again, “Logan, what are you talking about?”Logan said anxiously, “Zach Gilbert is dead. He jumped off the hotel building. The police investigation found that he met you at Stanton Corporation before he died. This seems to be a little troublesome, President.”Nicole woke up in an instant. Her eyes darkened.“How could that happen…”Someone as treacherous and greedy as Zach Gilbert could not possibly commit suicide.Someone must have killed him!However, was there a connection between Zach’s and Tina’s death?Nicole’s mind was a mess. She always felt that there was someone behind her triggering this series of events.It felt like that person was pushing everyone into the abyss.Nicole was unconsciously forced into this situation.Logan’s voice came through the phone. “President, the lawyers are ready, and we have already talked to the police. But rumors of Zach Gilbert privately signing the contract with you have gone viral,
Grant glanced at Clayton and laughed.“That’s true. Knowing her, she’ll consider stabbing someone in a non-critical position even if she’s in a critical situation with a knife in hand.”How could Nicole possibly kill someone?It was also impossible for Nicole to coerce someone to kill themselves.Clayton said, “Big Brother, I suspect that someone is behind this.”“I think so too.”Grant took a deep breath.He closed his eyes and groaned.“But now, we don’t have a lead to who the other party is. That person is hiding in the dark, and we’re an easy target.”Thus, they were in a passive position.Clayton said a few words and returned to Nicole’s office.Everyone in the office did not know what to believe about the rumors online. They were just interested to see the interaction between Clayton and Nicole.They were all envious that Clayton accompanied Nicole at this time.Grant figured that Nicole was in a bad mood, so he took away some of her work.Nicole was sitting in fron
Nicole clicked her tongue and finally gave up on calling Clayton “Mr. Sloan”.However, Nicole noticed that every time she called him that, Clayton would frown and start to lecture her seriously.It was as if he could write a book on his view of marriage.Nicole found it kind of funny.Fortunately, Nicole’s mood during the next half of the car journey improved a lot.Nicole glanced at the public opinion online. Those topics about her were suppressed.At the same time, the public relations department of Stanton Corporation also issued a statement.They expressed regret for the death of Tina and Zach Gilbert but stated that Nicole had nothing to do with this matter and would fully cooperate with the police investigation. They also reserved the right to pursue this legally until the investigation was over.As soon as this statement was released, the rumors online gradually died down.The platform had also deliberately suppressed the topic, so those malicious speculations about Nic
Nicole said it bluntly.Since Nicole entered the door, she felt that Kirsi’s sadness had exceeded her expectations.Zach was not Kirsi’s husband and was just her lover.With Kirsi’s standards, Nicole guessed that Kirsi probably did not love Zach deeply.Thus, Nicole thought that Kirsi went a little overboard by acting sad.Kirsi looked up at Nicole, took a deep breath, and calmed her breathing.Kirsi seemed to be restraining her emotions.After a long time, Kirsi said with gritted teeth, “I know you look down on me. You and Lumi are friends, and since Lumi married Ian, I’ve become a thorn in your side. That’s why you’re targeting me, right?”Nicole was a little puzzled by those words.What was Kirsi talking about?Kirsi sneered, threw away the tissue in her hand, and did not bother to continue pretending.“That’s right. I’m a homewrecker! I’m also a homewrecker who is about to succeed in becoming Zach’s legal wife! I was so happy about Tina’s death that I couldn’t sleep for
They could hear the wind howling from the balcony.Kirsi jolted up and looked over.She looked scared probably because she was traumatized by Zach jumping off the balcony.Kirsi saw Clayton’s extremely cold eyes. He looked so ruthless and intimidating, which made her shudder.Her expression changed. Just as she was about to say something, Clayton stood up.Clayton waved to Nicole and said in a light tone, “Let’s go.”Nicole pursed her lips and walked over to Clayton, who took her hand and walked out.Clayton could feel the sweat on her palms due to her nervousness.Kirsi did not expect them to leave and was slightly surprised.“Ms. Stanton, I… I won’t say anything. I’ll keep my mouth shut from the police for as long as I’m alive.”Kirsi seemed calm, but she was in actuality very anxious. She thought, ‘Why did Nicole and Clayton come here? Are they testing me? Or do they want to kill me because I know what happened?’Kirsi thought about it and felt that she was too careless.
Clayton was a Wall Street investor, so he would not be unaware of such a well-known figure in the industry.Since Jay Malone retired, many rookies had not heard of him.Jay Malone was the true big shot.Clayton did not expect his late mother-in-law to have such a relationship with Jay Malone.Jay was sitting in the living room. He was more than ten years older than Floyd, but he looked healthy and was an open-minded old man.He looked authoritative and had such a strong presence.However, Jay was excited at this time, so he did not look so cold and distant.Nicole walked in and went over politely to say hello.“Godfather, how are you?”She looked at Jay. Her impression of Jay was from ten years ago. Jay was tall, strong, and omnipotent.However, there was no denying that the old man in front of her had gotten older although he still had the same temperament.The wrinkles on Jay’s face could not be concealed, but he still had a strong build and looked to be in good spirits.
