Clayton sighed. His dark eyes glanced at Nicole silently.“I just want to take care of you personally. To be closer to you, I wanted to buy adjacent houses under all your properties.”Nicole paused for a moment and pursed her lips. “Will you go back to Liberty as soon as the project with J&L is over?”Clayton’s handsome face tightened before he smiled.“Don’t worry about a long-distance relationship. The development potential in Mediania is huge. Why should I go far away?”Nicole raised her brows and did not continue. It would make it seem as if she did not want him to leave.Clayton was about to say something when his phone rang. He looked at the number and frowned before answering it.He did not avoid Nicole, and his profile was sharp and cold as his voice lowered slightly.Then, he hung up the phone. “I have some urgent matters. If you miss me, then call me.”Nicole paused. “Okay. I won’t see you off.”Clayton could not help but laugh. He walked over to touch her hair and
When Mitchell found out that the Stanton family sent a helicopter to pick Nicole up, he could not help but be speechless.It was a huge sum of money. The cost of using a helicopter was much more than the money the Stanton family donated.However, it was not hard to guess that the Stanton family obviously donated a lot. There were no splashes on the internet because they deliberately kept it on the down-low.Eric’s eyes were deep in thought for a few seconds. The silver watch on his wrist revealed its edge, reflecting a cold light.He raised his eyes and looked at Mitchell coldly.“I’m asking about Nicole, not the Stanton family.”Mitchel froze as his face changed slightly.“Toto went to visit her. Ms. Stanton’s foot injury has recovered very well, and she has been discharged from the hospital.”Eric stared at him intently and narrowed his incredibly icy eyes.Mitchell closed his eyes. He could not hide it. The nature of his work did not allow him to hide anything from Eric.“
Eric’s expression was extremely ugly. His black eyes were cold and dark. He took a step back, turned around, and lifted his feet to leave.Joelle stopped him. “Mr. Ferguson, why don’t you come in?”Her hand almost touched Eric’s sleeve, but he fiercely shook her off.It was as if he was afraid of being stained by garbage.His tone was indifferent and low. “Scram! It’ll be easy for me to kill you, understand?”He was warning her. Not only was she not allowed to approach him, but he also dispelled all the dirty thoughts in her heart.Joelle’s face went white.In the blink of an eye, Eric left with his cold air.She pursed her lips, an indignant look flashing in her eyes. “I still have Kai anyway. Don’t try to get rid of me!”Eric originally wanted to go to Stanton Mansion to ask for clarification, but he retreated halfway.He did not dare to. He did not dare to ask questions. He did not dare to look at Nicole’s bright eyes. He did not dare to accept the truth.In Imperial Gard
Although Eric wanted to kill Toto, he had to admit that what Toto said was quite reasonable.However, he still felt that something was wrong.Eric’s cold and stern eyes glared at Toto. He said in a deep and indifferent voice, “Then what do we do now?”Toto said, “You have to call Mitchell back!”Eric looked at him sharply, remaining silent.No one dared to threaten him like this before, much less for an assistant.Toto said, “As far as I know, Ms. Stanton is much more polite to Mitchell than she is to you…”That was true.Eric’s face was dark as he clenched his teeth.Toto said, “It’s better to keep Mitchell as a messenger…”After a long time, Eric snorted coldly. “Fine. Deduct his bonus for one year and drag him back.”“You’re truly the kindest domineering president I’ve ever seen!”Toto’s back was covered in a cold sweat. He really felt like his legs were about to give out. Eric’s eyes were extremely frightening.If Toto had to persist for one second longer, he would not
The old president of Golden Sea Corporation politely came and greeted Nicole.“What an honor to have you here, Ms. Stanton!”Nicole smiled and handed the gift in her hand to the person behind him. “You’re too polite. Thank you for your invitation.”The man glanced at the gift box and knew that the lady’s watch inside was very valuable. He was shocked by Nicole’s generosity. It really was extraordinary!“There are many people coming today. Please forgive me if I’m not able to entertain you well…”There were also several bigwigs coming up from behind, and the man smiled somewhat apologetically.Nicole was just about to nod when she heard a warm and familiar female voice from behind.“Let me take care of Ms. Stanton…”Nicole turned slightly and saw Ava York dressed in a red dress, walking over with a smile.Her dress today was really seductive and revealing, making her look mature and sexy. The red dress split open at the sides of her legs, and every step revealed her long snow-w
Nicole could not be bothered to look at her. She would not have come if she had known that a piece of garbage would keep pestering her like this.It was just disgusting!“I’m not interested.”Ava brushed her hair. Her eyes were smug.“Mr. Clayton Sloan will be coming today. Did you know that?”Hearing the words “Mr. Clayton Sloan” made Nicole’s footsteps lurch.Nicole’s eyes held a bit of coldness when she looked at Ava. “You mean, your date is Clayton Sloan?”Ava squeezed her wine glass when she saw Nicole’s cold gaze.“Yes, sorry to disappoint you. He’ll be here soon. You didn’t expect that, did you?”Even if there was a large disparity in strength between her and Nicole, Ava felt that it was worth it as long as she could annoy Nicole a little.Thus, Ava started to lie with a completely straight face.Ava lied as easily as she breathed.Nicole sized her up with a vague smile. “Yes, I really didn’t expect that.”Ten minutes ago, Clayton had still been apologizing to Nicol
Ava was just about to say something vague. According to Clayton’s character, he would not embarrass a woman so much.However, Nicole took Clayton’s phone, entered the password, and opened his WhatsApp.She searched for Ava’s name but could not find anything.Nicole looked at him sideways. Clayton smiled gently. “Adding her was out of politeness, so the least I could do is delete her after.”Ava’s face went white. She did not expect Clayton to speak so bluntly.Ava already knew that Clayton deleted her contact, and her multiple friend requests had been ignored, but she did not expect a full-on confrontation today.In this case, she had really put herself in an awkward situation.Nicole returned the phone to Clayton and glanced at Ava coldly.Her lips curled in a sneer. “Ms. York, I can introduce you to a professional psychiatric hospital that specializes in treating delusions.”Ava sucked in a breath and was just about to open her mouth to refute when Nicole simply turned away.
Clayton laughed in a low voice and reached out to brush the hair behind her ears.“I’ll do anything as long as it makes you happy.”Nicole’s face heated up. Why was he saying words of love in public?It was embarrassing!However, she was unwilling to let him see how embarrassed she was. She looked up, a faint smile on her exquisite features.“Even arson and murder are fine?”Clayton’s smile deepened at those words. “Sure. You’ll be the mastermind and I’ll be your accomplice.”He followed her.Nicole rolled her eyes. The gloom in her heart cleared away and she suddenly felt much more relaxed.She put down the glass in her hand. “I’m going to the ladies.”Clayton said, “Shall I accompany you?”Nicole was speechless. “No. What am I, three?”Clayton pouted. “I am.”He did not want to leave her for a moment.Fortunately, their previous relationship had always been good, so no one would suspect their relationship now.Nicole did not want to be lovey-dovey with him here now.
