Nicole faintly froze as Clayton’s eyes flickered. “Michael has been harping on about you for a long time. Why don’t you come and cook for him as a show of gratitude?”Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. “Sure!”Lil Michael could not sit still once he heard the good news.The nanny said, “Wouldn’t it be better to wait at the hotel?”The bodyguard said, “We can’t let them be together alone. Something will definitely happen if two adults stay together!”Lil Michael nodded in agreement, so he insisted on going with them to shop for ingredients at the supermarket.As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Nicole and Clayton standing together and laughing. Clayton casually bought an ice cream cone and handed it to Nicole, who took it with a smile. She took a bite and nodded approvingly.The nanny said, “A talented man and a beautiful woman. What a perfect match!”The bodyguard looked at her with disdain. “Whose side are you on? Young Master is a better match for her!”Lil Michael said,
At the moment Nicole was lost in thought just now, she seemed to realize that the situation in the kitchen was somewhat ambiguous yet warm.At least, was this not the married life she dreamed of before her divorce?However, the man was Clayton instead of Eric. Her heart did not seem to be so attached to the past anymore.The sudden pain on her wrist came as an afterthought. Clayton held her as he led her to the faucet to rinse her wrist under running water.Their posture was intimate and slightly ambiguous. Nicole tried to pull her hand back, but Clayton thought that it was because her wrist hurt, so he was gentler in his movements. He loosened his grip on her arm, held the spot where she was injured, and blew on her skin, looking distressed.Nicole looked at him. The man in front of her was unfathomably gentle.There was a slight tremor in her chest as if she had been shaken.She hastily lowered her eyes, withdrew her hand, and smiled faintly. “It’s fine. It doesn’t hurt anymor
Nicole curled her lips, and she inadvertently retracted her hand. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”She looked at Clayton, whose face was tinged with slight anger, and the conflict in her heart disappeared.Lil Michael reminded Nicole that Clayton was an exceptional man, so there must be countless people who would surround him. Nicole did not know anything about him except for his deceased ex-wife.How could she think of him as a blank sheet of paper?Nicole returned to her senses in time, never dragging her feet.Clayton slowly and methodically put down the first aid kit. He could not discipline his son with Nicole around, so he had to maintain a decent smile.However, there was no trace of warmth in his smile.He withdrew his gaze, looked at Nicole, and explained patiently, “That’s impossible. My family doctor in Liberty was a very lazy person, so I had no choice but to learn first-aid knowledge by myself.”Nicole smiled faintly, her attitude was polite and slightly detached.“It’s
Soon, the staff noticed this scene and wordlessly raised the temperature of the air conditioner. The temperature in the room rose to the right temperature.On the big screen.An AI car and a real car were competing on the road, using the same chip and system from the accident.The AI car on the screen showed superior skills in different kinds of roads, whether it was on mountains, flat land, or bumpy waterways.When approaching a traffic light, it would slow down. It also slowed down when there was rain.When there were obstacles in front of it, it would bypass it flexibly.When people were crossing the road, it would wait patiently.When encountering an unexpected situation, the automatic alarm would activate.It was gentle, calm, but very dynamic, giving the AI driverless car all the advantages that humans had. Even in an extreme situation where human intervention caused sudden deceleration of the car, it overcame the inertia and stopped the car with maximum agility, complete
Nicole pursed her lips and raised her eyes just in time to meet Eric’s gaze. They coincidentally smiled.Eric’s voice was cold. “Since the system data and the chip records are both normal, there’s only one thing that can be abnormal.”Everyone looked at him silently and nervously.Eric said, “The test car.”For a long time, everyone was silent and did not make a sound. They were shocked, but they had no choice but to accept Eric’s words.“What could be wrong with the car?”Eric pursed his lips. “The car was specially customized, but the components that work hand-in-hand with the AI system were custom-made by a different company. Has anyone checked this?”No one made any sound.However, there was no doubt that a breakthrough had been found in this accident.“Meeting adjourned.”Eric spoke and immediately ended the video conference.Nicole’s eyes fell on the man’s face. She did not say anything, but she had the same thought.She did not expect Eric to have the same idea as he
The office was silent for a moment.Eric raised his head and met Gerard's confused gaze.“I’ve had people investigate that company already. They’re backed by bigwigs in Liberty’s political party, and their shareholders are business leaders from various countries. Don’t try to confront them, and don’t involve Nicole in this either. I’ll see what I can do.”At those words, Gerard glanced at him with a dark gaze.A few seconds later, he could not help but ask, “This company has strong momentum and complex capital sources. There’s no reason for you to look down on them.”He had known Eric for a long time, but Eric’s ability and background could not be easily summarized. His investments which the media reported about were just the tip of the iceberg.In the beginning, Eric was interested in J&L Corporation only because the core R&D team in Gerard’s hands was tenacious and innovative enough. At the early stage of investment, he was just watching the growth potential of J&L.What he di
“Ms. Stanton is investigating the cause of the accident. She’s also following up on Stanton Corporation’s internal business dealings, but since it involves the secrets of Stanton Corporation, I didn’t send anyone to investigate in depth.”Eric let out a faint “mm” with an expressionless face.Mitchell thought about it before quickly saying, “Ms. Nicole will be dining with a few partners at Green Club tonight…”Green Club was a luxury private nightclub under Ferguson Corporation. It was generally not open to the public, and its membership was strictly selected.Thus, Michell was able to obtain first-hand information.......In the evening, Nicole arrived at Green Club as promised.This place was very private and was preferred by many businessmen and celebrities.However, the price point starting at seven figures a night was not something that the average person could afford to spend.A few of the business partners were all prominent people in their circles. Since they had the i
Nicole’s expression darkened as she turned to leave. This room smelled terrible!However, behind her, Ivy very untactfully pounced on her again.“Don’t go, Ms. Stanton. Don’t go! As you can see, I’m about to be kicked out of the Harrison family because Stanton Corporation stole the contract from Harrison Corporation. My family won’t let me off if I don’t get this contract back.”Nicole sidestepped her and said with a cold voice, “Let go.”Ivy looked up at her drunkenly. Even if she was drunk and bolder than before, she still could not help but let go when she saw Nicole’s cold and sullen gaze.“I told you before. Everyone is responsible for their actions. Unless there are greater interests involved, Stanton Corporation won’t give up their interests just because I pity someone.”Nicole’s thought process was clear. She also knew that there was nothing to say to Ivy.Ivy was trying to find a way to get Mr. Zahn to break the contract, right?If they really broke the contract, then
