Nicole hung up the phone decisively.She wished she did not make that call.Luca was a little surprised to see Eric following them, but what was even more unexpected was that Chance got into their car.Fortunately, Eric did not sit in their car. Otherwise, Luca would feel awkward as he did not know how to address him.However, come to think of it, Eric’s opportunity came now that Clayton was gone.Thus, Eric would certainly find a chance to get close to Nicole.That was justifiable.What a pity…If Luca could see through Eric’s motive, Nicole could too.“Let’s go to KFC.”“Okay.”In the car, Chatty was talking to Fischer in words that others did not understand.Nicole really did not understand what they were saying. Levi covered his ears as he was not interested in understanding their conversation.Chance wanted to know what they were talking about, but he could not understand what they were saying.It was so complicated with so many twists and turns.Nicole thought that
Chance was stunned by Fischer’s sudden remarks.His expression was tense, and his gaze was uneasy as he looked at Chatty.Although Chance was young, he remembered the past clearly because all his experiences were unpleasant.That was his fate, and he had no strength to resist.While he grew up, no one paid attention to his emotions.That unforgettable birthday party was the day that Chatty was pushed into the water.Chance would always remember that he and his mother were involved in it.Compared to a mother who used him to hurt others, a father who only disliked and ignored him was considered a good outcome for Chance.At least, his father did not make him do things he did not like.His father just did not like him.Chance stood there with apprehension and embarrassment.The unhappy memories swarmed up.He clenched his fists nervously and remained silent.Fischer’s fair and tender face was full of disdain for Chance.To them, Chance’s silence was his admission of guilt.
The Stantons had everything – love and money.However, they did not splurge or waste anything.Nicole pursed her lips. “Thank you, Dad. Let’s go upstairs.”Floyd nodded.Nicole went to help him. Floyd had undergone surgery, so he was not as strong as before. He needed a cane to walk.In the dark, Nicole blamed herself for ignoring Floyd too much while she had been immersed in her own grief.Floyd was getting old too fast.He was no longer the forever invincible figure that he was in her memory.Nicole suddenly teared up, and subconsciously wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.She should not have thought of ending her life when something bad happens.She was not so cowardly and pathetic and should be stronger than others imagined her to be.She did not live for a man.Regardless of whether Clayton was dead or alive, Nicole must live a fulfilling and happy life.Nicole wanted to send Floyd back to his room, but Floyd paused in his footsteps.“I’ll watch you go i
Coincidentally, Mr. Anderson was downstairs talking to someone.When he saw Nicole coming downstairs, he quickly greeted her.“Miss, come and have brunch!”Nicole smiled. “I won’t eat. I still have work to do at the office.”Floyd came in with a bucket and looked like he just came back from fishing.“Don’t worry about the office. Go after you have a meal. Anyway, you’re already late, and your brother already called me.”Nicole opened her mouth guilty and scratched her head.“Well… He can’t blame me. My phone ran out of battery last night, and no one woke me up this morning.”The butler smiled.“The Chairman didn’t want us to wake you up. You worked so hard yesterday, and the Eldest Young Master came back early last night. How could he understand your hard work?”Nicole immediately forgave herself when she heard the butler’s words.“You’re right!”Seeing that the dining table was full of her favorite food, Nicole was not in a hurry to leave. She put her bag aside and went to
Nicole looked at the opened document. On the other side was Clayton’s name.She was familiar with his handwriting.It was presented in front of her eyes in this way.Nicole gritted her teeth and hesitated to sign.Roland pursed his lips.“Madam, you can only take over everything of Mr. Sloan after you sign this. That way, I can officially start the formalities. Mr. Sloan also bought an additional fund for Chatty and Michael. However, Michael can only receive his after reaching adulthood, and Chatty can withdraw hers at any time. Some projects abroad require the follow-up signature of the administrator. If you don’t sign, it’ll be completely put on hold. Madam…”He hesitated to speak and was in a difficult position.They did not hold a funeral for Clayton because they did not want to admit his death.They were more hopeful that he would appear one day, or that he only disappeared temporarily.The Stanton family was silent about this, and Roland had no reason to intervene.Howe
Kai knew that the only person who could change Grant’s mind was Floyd.Thus, Kai’s only choice was to beg for Floyd’s approval without a care for his image.Floyd rolled his eyes speechlessly and could not push Kai away even if he wanted to.Kai was like a bubblegum stuck to his leg.Aida was the first one who could not help but laugh out loud.Then, Mr. Anderson and Nicole laughed.Grant could not help but curl his lips as he looked at Kai mockingly.“Dad, I think Lil K’s problem still hasn’t been corrected after almost 30 years.”Floyd nodded in agreement.“Yes, it’s a good thing Julie accepted him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to find a wife.”Kai felt aggrieved and was about to fake cry.Finally, Nicole smiled and let him go.“Forget it. Kai will just cause more trouble if he goes. How can you expect him to protect me?”Everyone could not help but laugh.The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable.Kai glanced at Nicole with annoyance.Although he wanted to defend
The next day, even Nicole realized the seriousness of the matter.When she was having dinner with several high-level executives, someone secretly asked if this matter was true.Nicole looked at the news on the internet and felt a lump in her chest.According to Kai’s personality, he should have resolved it immediately.The lack of a timely solution only showed that he was worried about certain things.Moreover, although the woman in each photo wore a mask and a hat and was tightly wrapped up, Nicole could recognize that it was Julie at a glance!After some thought, Nicole made a phone call.Julie picked up the call calmly.“Nicole?”Nicole paused. “Jules, are you still on the set?”Julie replied, “Yeah, I’m here.”“Do you know what’s happening online?”“Yeah. Don’t worry, I know how to deal with this.”Nicole paused. “Okay. I don’t think Kai is doing anything about it, so I think he’s just leaving it be. If you don’t feel comfortable at the set, just come back and hide out
Although the public opinion was temporarily suppressed, there was still the matter of those two women.Soon after, there was a new movement on the internet.Someone went to observe the time, place, and hotel arrangement of the two crews respectively.They also specifically asked the actors on set.Some people wanted to use the opportunity to create trouble and implied that Kai was flirting with them at that time.For a while, these statements suppressed Stanton Corporation’s clarification.This wave of news angered Kai.He thought he had to put up with this, but he did not expect that when the two actresses came out to testify against Kai, there was a new update on his account.His account was finally active after staying silent for so long.However, it was not his doing.Julie was the one who posted a few photos in Kai’s name.It was a photo of her and Kai, and a photo of her work permit in the crew at that time.Julie worked behind the scenes and needed a permit to get on
