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.
Nicole had underestimated how much elders liked Clayton.Jay meant that he had completely accepted Clayton.Clayton was truly a force to reckon with for winning Jay over so easily.Clayton replied obediently, “Godfather.”“Good.”Jay smiled, looked at Clayton, and shook his head.“I can die without regrets if only I have a son-in-law like you. Unfortunately…”Jay sighed and changed the topic.“Lil N, has your dad been single all these years?”Nicole nodded. “My dad has been working for us half his life. He doesn’t even think about his own affairs anymore.”Jay’s eyes were deep and envious.“Your mother chose the right guy!”Nicole knew about the past, but she did not mention it much.She smiled and said to Mr. Anderson, “Ask my brothers to come home. They haven’t seen our godfather for a long time, so they should come back.”Mr. Anderson responded quickly and went out to contact the Stanton brothers.Jay nodded at Nicole. “You’re still the most sensible one.”He sighed
Kirsi’s expression changed and shouted at the car. “Nicole!”“Nicole”, who was in the car, looked different.Kirsi stepped forward and glared at her.“What are you doing here? Did you come to laugh at me? Tina and Zach are dead. Zach’s property belongs to me and my child now. No one can take it away from me.”The woman’s expression changed slightly as she stared at Kirsi gloomily.Under the dim light, only half of her face was exposed while the other half was immersed in darkness.Kirsi could only feel a pair of falcon-like eyes looking out a stern and cold gaze.The woman in the car was silent for a few seconds before she said indifferently, “Yes, they’re all dead, and you’re next.”Kirsi frowned. “Why are you threatening me? I am a homewrecker, but I didn’t destroy your family!”“Nicole”, who was in the car, chuckled softly.“Threaten you? I always keep my word. Did you forget how Zach died?”After she said that, Kirsi looked at her blankly.“How did Zach die? I heard tha
Clayton spoke indifferently, but Nicole’s eyes widened in shock.“W-What?! That works?!”Nicole had never heard of this.It felt like Clayton had opened up a whole new world for her.Clayton smiled slightly as if everything was in his control and going according to his plan.“Yeah. As long as she forgets everything, she wouldn’t be able to outrightly identify you no matter how others threaten her. I just ruined that person’s plan and made it impossible for her to continue. As long as Tina’s and Zach’s death aren’t connected to you, we’ve succeeded.”Nicole secretly marveled at Clayton’s plan. She looked at him with admiration in her eyes.“Hubby, it’s all thanks to you!”She reached out to put her arms around his neck and rubbed her face against his.Clayton hugged her waist and smiled. This made everything he did today worthwhile.The next second, they heard someone coughing from the stairs.The two reluctantly let go of each other.Jay frowned helplessly and looked at the
Mitchell wanted Chatty to attend Chance’s birthday party?Nicole immediately rejected Mitchell’s invitation.“She’s not even two years old, and she doesn’t even remember what Chance looks like.”Besides, Nicole did not want Chatty to interact with the Ferguson family.Nicole was not being petty.She just felt that the Ferguson family was a wolf’s den. No one could get out without being bitten.Although Nicole felt sorry for Chance, she did not want to take the chance with Chatty.Thus, Nicole did not want Chatty to attend Chance’s birthday party.Mitchell smiled and said politely, “Ms. Stanton, Mr. Ferguson is away on a business trip. Chance’s teachers organized this birthday party for him while we pay for the expenses. No one in the industry is invited. Only a few children from school are going. I’ve also booked the entire amusement park for this party, so there won’t be any outsiders. There are ample security guards on duty, so you can rest assured that no strangers will be a
