After returning from the Stanton Mansion, Clayton kept frowning. Nicole was not sure if he was too tired or if he was thinking about something.Nicole answered a few calls from Logan, so she did not bother to ask Clayton about it for a while.When Clayton came back to his senses, he called Roland.“Yes. Sell it, preferably to someone with experience.”Nicole frowned and saw that Clayton had hung up the phone.“What are you selling?”“The restaurant. I don’t plan to continue running it.”Clayton regarded the restaurant as a temporary residence. It was not a business that he wanted to run.The restaurant’s profit was not enough to make ends meet. Roland could tell that the restaurant would not be profitable for at least three years.In the early stage, it was necessary to provide the best ingredients and services to win customers and gain a reputation.However, those were the most expensive aspects of a business.Instead of wasting time here, Clayton might as well manage his b
Clayton stood there with earnest and serious eyes. He did not look like he was joking.For a moment, Nicole seemed to see the old Clayton standing at the door of the club, teaching her to identify girls who liked to put on the pity act.Nicole felt like her head was spinning as if the past scene was overlapping with the current scene.The bittersweet feeling in her heart made her forget all the unhappiness of seeing Kira.She raised her head with a slight smile.“Got it, Boss! Since you knew she was this kind of person, why did you bring her back to Mediania?”Why did he get close to Kira?Of course, Nicole would not ask that question.After all, Kira was a scheming woman, and Clayton was an unassuming man. Although Clayton might not have that intention, he could not escape Kira’s schemes.“I didn’t investigate it at that time because I didn’t have enough resources. I only did a background check on her after I returned to Mediania, but it was too late.”Clayton’s voice was de
Nicole nodded. All she cared about was the medical device he brought back from abroad. She watched him use it just now.The sky was clear and the air quality was exceptionally good.In a blink of an eye, Aida finished her confinement, and Kenji was a hundred days old.Floyd hosted a big party for Kenji, which doubled as a celebration of Clayton’s return.Everyone had no comments about it.The party was held at the Hilton Hotel.Floyd invited many socialites, business partners, and friends.Even Lance came.There were all kinds of people at the reception with an endless stream of congratulations.Floyd smiled so much that he had creases at the corners of his eyes. The huge and luxurious banquet hall was packed with people.Aida recovered very well from her pregnancy and was in a good state.She stood beside Grant and chatted with the guests while little Kenji was sleeping peacefully in Grant’s arms.Clayton followed Floyd to socialize with the guests, acting as the perfect s
Eric put his slender and beautiful hands on the steering wheel. His expression was always calm.He gave off an indifferent and aloof vibe. He looked gloomy and arrogant.Mitchell, who was next to him, hesitated to speak. They still had to pass a traffic light before they arrived at the Hilton Hotel.Mitchell held the invitation card and did not know what to say.“President…”Seeing that Mitchell did not speak for a long time, Eric looked over indifferently.Mitchell gritted his teeth and said, “President, Clayton is back. The Stanton family held this banquet to celebrate the hundredth day of Grant’s second son's birth and to announce Clayton’s return. Why should we join in the fun? There must be media present on this occasion. If the media exaggerates our presence, we’ll incur more losses. Why don’t I deliver the gift? Then we can go back.”No matter how much he thought about it, Mitchell felt that it was inappropriate for Eric to show up at the party.In the beginning, Mitchel
Indifference and tenderness seemed to coexist on Eric’s face, which created a shocking contrast.If the nurse really did as Eric wished and drained his blood, he would die.Before the nurse left, she was still thinking why would such a man give up on his life?The emergency room was lit up for around five hours.When Mitchell came back, he had already gone to the police station. Mitchell was not driving, and there was surveillance to prove it.Although Eric ran the red light, Mitchell explained that he had distracted Eric because he was talking to Eric. That was why something unexpected happened.From the surveillance footage, their car bumped into the woman, but the woman also ran onto the road before the green light for pedestrians was lit up. That was why she bumped into their car.Eric also braked in time. That was why the woman fell in front of the car and did not fly into the air.Although they did not know why that woman was so bloody, Eric could still avoid any legal re
At this time, the driver might already be sleeping, so Mitchell contacted a substitute driver.Eric nodded and walked out without hesitation.The smell of blood in the car made him a little sick to his stomach. He did not expect a light bump to cause so much blood loss and a broken rib.It was his fault, so he had to admit it.It took fifteen minutes for the substitute driver to arrive.Eric did not think about anything else. He did not open his mouth until he got home.The substitute driver did not dare to say anything. After all, he never expected to drive this luxury car, so he had to be extra careful since he was driving such an expensive car for the first time.When he arrived at the villa, there was a light in the living room.Eric walked in with an indifferent expression. He took a deep look at Chance, who had not slept yet, with a warning silence.Chance pursed his lips, walked over, and carefully raised his eyes.“Daddy, have you seen Levi and Aunt Nicole? Levi said
The last thing Clayton wanted was to see Nicole suffer, but he was even more afraid that something would happen to her.Thus, he did not want to take any risks.When Nicole was with him, she was perfectly normal and was the same as before.Clayton was afraid that something would happen to her while he was away.Every time he saw the scars on her arm, he was heartbroken and reminded himself not to take it lightly.He tried to act nonchalantly, and both of them tried their best to ignore the hidden dangers of depression.However, he would not neglect it.Nicole did not persist on this matter for too long and took over the glass of warm water. Clayton took the medicine for her and was relieved after he watched her take it.Finally, he stroked her hair to express his appreciation and encouragement.“What a good girl.”He went out and put the glass away.When Clayton came back, he casually told Nicole what Roland said in order to divert her attention.Nicole was quite surprised
Mitchell took the initiative to talk since he felt guilty.“Ms. Nelson, I’ll get a caregiver to take care of you this afternoon. This is my contact information. If you need anything, you can contact me anytime.”Selena looked at his business card and looked away.“You don’t have a say in this. Give me Eric’s number.”The corner of Mitchell’s mouth twitched.“Sorry. I can’t give out Mr. Ferguson’s phone number to just anyone.”“Okay, then. I’ll just contact the police and ask about how one should be sentenced for hitting someone with a car.”Selena hit the nail on the head with that sentence.Mitchell took a deep breath.Finally, he realized that Selena was not a simple woman.Was she planning to take advantage of this incident to extort them?Mitchell had a bad premonition.Eric had really bumped into big trouble.It was a good thing that Selena was married. Otherwise, she might set her sights on Eric.Mitchell believed that Eric was still stuck in his failed relationship
