Nicole was startled and took a closer look. It was Keith Ludwig!When Livia saw him, her face sank, and her smile completely disappeared.“How did you come in again?”Keith pursed his lips. Just as he was about to betray Nicole, Nicole shot him a fierce glare.He turned his head away. “I snuck in.”“You’re not welcome here!”Keith snorted coldly. “You’re the one who doesn’t welcome me here, right?”“It’s good that you know.”Nicole felt a little awkward sitting there. Should she find another place to sit?She quickly and calmly analyzed her position and decided it was better to leave first.Before Nicole got up, Keith clenched his teeth and said, “What’s so good about that pretty boy? He can’t get a penny of the Ferguson family fortune and he’s only playing with you because he feels that you’re something refreshing…”Slap!Livia could not help but slap Keith on the face. Her gaze was extremely cold.“Get lost! I don’t need you to interfere in my affairs!”Keith’s face was
Nicole sat there, subconsciously looked up, and coincidentally saw that Nathaniel and Livia were looking at each other with such deep affection.She pursed her lips and hung her head in silence.If Nathaniel was serious about Livia, then it was okay for them to be together.They could always break up if they found that they were not suitable for each other. It was not necessary to date someone for marriage.Like when Livia got married to Keith, Livia had tolerated him to the extreme before they divorced. Besides hatred, there was nothing left.Who said that divorced women could not love capriciously?Moreover, although Nathaniel looked unreliable, he was not a bad person.Nicole compared the two men and began to like that Livia and Nathaniel were a pair.However, Keith’s body was shaking with anger.Before Keith could raise his hand to slap Livia, Nathaniel stood in front of her.It looked like Nathaniel was going to take a beating for her.“Livia, you’re amazing. Even if Mr
It was not that Clayton Sloan had no temper. He just kept his temper hidden.When Clayton saw that Nicole was being bullied, he could no longer hide it.Nicole’s heart stalled for a moment. This kind of brazen protectiveness made her heart warm and comfortable.Nicole smiled at Clayton to express her gratitude.There were still so many people around watching. Keith immediately felt humiliated after getting lectured by Clayton.Keith thought, ‘Who the hell does he think he is?! How dare he lecture me?!’He was standing on Eric’s side and did not have a good impression of Clayton.Keith was about to turn around and scold him when he suddenly saw the chill in Nicole’s eyes.He shuddered and realized that he had just scolded Nicole earlier.Suddenly, a chill emerged from his bones.Nicole had Keith’s nudes. If she sent them out, his reputation would be ruined.Moreover, she was Nicole Stanton!At that thought, Keith swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.He lo
A big man like Keith sounded like a spouse that was scolding a mistress. This feeling was just awkward!Nicole took a deep breath. She felt embarrassed and denied it. “I didn’t laugh…”However, her smile was so wide that it was almost overflowing from her face.Clayton walked to the side and sat down. “Do you guys mind me sitting here?”He did not want to be too far away from Nicole, but he was also worried that it would be offensive if he overheard someone’s privacy.Such considerate people were comfortable to get along with.Livia was a little embarrassed and waved her hands.“Of course, we won’t mind. Thanks for earlier, Mr. Sloan…”Thanks to the shocking slander earlier, people got to know Clayton Sloan.Nathaniel looked at Clayton, then at Nicole.He sighed and turned to look at Livia. “There’s no need to thank him. He did it for Nikki’s sake.”Clayton did not intervene for their sake.Thus, the thick-skinned Nathaniel would not appreciate it.Nicole rolled her eyes a
Livia was very clear about her feelings. She liked Nathaniel, who was a year younger than her, yet he was very thoughtful and reliable.Thus, Livia listened to her heart and did not play hard to getShe did not regret being together with Nathaniel.This impulse and enthusiasm would definitely last a lifetime.It was the best thing Livia had done in her life.As soon as Livia and Nathaniel looked at each other, Nicole knew that Keith was out of luck.No matter how hard Keith tried, he could not beat Nathaniel and Livia’s momentary glance at each other, with sparks flying and such profound love.Nicole lowered her eyes and smiled, then reached out and applauded.“Wow, it’s so beautiful! I hope that you both will always be this happy!”They could only feel the blazing love because they rushed into a relationship.Once the passion faded and faced with other gossip or trivial difficulties, perhaps their love might even be deeper and lasted longer.Nicole believed that they would.
Clayton laughed and said in a light-hearted way.“I won’t be going back to Liberty in the near future. My friends told me that living in a hotel long-term will be difficult to get a girlfriend, so I bought a house.”Nicole’s face suddenly felt a little hot. She wondered if Clayton was determined to chase her, so he bought a house and planned to stay in Mediania long term.The two of them did not speak on the way to The Grand Manor.The driver played an old song to ease the atmosphere.The car was just too silent.“We’re here, Mr. Sloan. Non-resident cars can’t get in.” The driver reminded him.Clayton smiled. He looked warm and modest as he turned to look at Nicole.“You don’t want to talk to me?”Nicole was stunned, then shook her head. “No…”Clayton asked, “Do you want to come in and take a look?”He was afraid that she would refuse and hastily added, “Lil Michael asked me to bring you something from abroad. I haven’t found the opportunity to give it to you. You can come a
Clayton’s words implied that he only bought this place to be closer to Nicole.Nicole was surprised for a moment, then naturally recovered her expression.“That apartment has been sold out. A few years back, it’s still relatively sought-after. My third brother bought it for me with his first film payment. But the good thing is that the surrounding area is located in a prosperous area. The Grand Manor is the only property in Atlanta that still maintained its high prices during the real estate downturn.”After all, properties here were only sold to the rich, so why would the rich be so calculative for that little price difference?Such a reputable investor like Clayton also bought it without even blinking an eye.At that thought, Nicole had full confidence in that project in Sand City. She wanted to drive up the real estate industry there.Clayton laughed and could not help but hold his forehead. ‘Did she misread the point?’However, he gave her an appreciative look.“Ms. Stanton
Clayton smiled apologetically and went over to close the door to block Nicole’s view.“I didn’t want to give this on Michael’s behalf for fear that it’ll scare you, but Michael insisted on giving you a surprise…”Nicole’s face was pale. “It’s not a surprise…”She had to thank her youthfulness and good health for not having a heart attack.Clayton felt very sorry and went over to hug her gently. He then let go and pulled her wrist to the living room.“Argus, a glass of warm water, please.”Nicole seemed to be really shocked.Had he known, he would not have brought her over to see it.A cylindrical white robot butler about one and a half meters came over and handed the water to Nicole.“Dear, have some water…”‘Uh… This address…’ Nicole raised her head. The white robot pretended to think about it and confirmed once again in a cute voice.“Yes, you’re Nicole Dearest. Have some water…”‘It knows me?!’ Nicole thought.On the side, Clayton took the water and glanced at the robot
