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. Ma
This low-level game was a trap designed by Ava.Unfortunately, the girl encountered Nicole, and she was quick-witted to see through Ava’s plan at once.The scheme died before it even started.Ava was such an idiot. She was really brainless.Nicole had some doubts. How did a woman like that get to such a high position in Cyndro International?Just as she was thinking, the door in front of her suddenly opened from the inside.Ava was sobbing pitifully.“I’ll let your dad explain it to you. I really had good intentions…”Before Ava could finish speaking, Ava saw Nicole standing there with a smile, looking elegant and cold.The sneer in her eyes was simply too obvious.Nicole heard everything.Before Ava could react, a vase was thrown over and hit her back, causing her to stagger in pain.The girl pounced over and yanked Ava’s hair, not holding back at all.It was clear at a glance that she was used to bullying others.“You still dare to tell on me? I’ve always been displease
Everyone could clearly see the “Atlanta Psychiatric Hospital Welcomes You” logo written on the back of the white coats.Nicole smiled and calmly drank the red wine in the glass, suddenly feeling very satisfied.How would she be so kind as to repay her grievances with virtue?The ambulance she called was naturally the most suitable ambulance for Ava York.That little lady who dared to beat people up was really beautiful and clever. She won Nicole’s heart.When dealing with fake and “innocent” women, they had to be decisive and crisp! There was no need to talk nonsense.Clayton glanced at Nicole from the side and lowered his voice.“Did you do it?”Nicole raised a brow. “If I did, I wouldn’t make it so obvious. It’ll only be internal injuries.”Inflicting pain that could not be seen on the outside. That was Nicole’s way of doing things.Clayton thought about it and then smiled.He was relieved.“She already deserves to be beaten up. I guess there must be many people who want
Eric’s voice was low and raspy as if he was deliberately coaxing her, unknowingly drawing closer to her.Nicole’s eye twitched. She clearly felt that there was something wrong with Eric.She subconsciously looked at Clayton beside her. At that moment, Clayton’s warm and modest face was cold.Noticing Nicole’s reaction, Eric’s face became even gloomier.As expected…Nicole smiled, her attitude somewhat detached. “The doctor didn’t allow me to use my phone, and I forgot about it after I was discharged. Sorry.”Eric’s face stiffened faintly. He knew that it was just an excuse, but he had to believe it.“It’s okay. I’m relieved to see you standing well here.”The music started playing.Eric’s eyes flickered and he suddenly extended his hand. “May I have this dance?”Nicole did not move. She looked at his extended hand silently and smiled.The last time she danced with him, it was during a party they attended together after the divorce. Back then, her identity had not been expose
The air stagnated, and there seemed to be a chill gradually permeating Eric’s body.He said the words through gritted teeth. It was like the word stabbed him in the chest.Clayton stepped forward and smiled gently.“I’m very honored to be her boyfriend. Mr. Ferguson, please stay away from my girlfriend in the future.”It was a great feeling to warn others, especially with his identity as Nicole’s boyfriend!Eric’s eyes were bloodshot. He almost snapped from anger, but he tried his best to restrain his emotions.Even if his heart was dripping with blood, he did not want to embarrass Nicole here.Eric was scared that Nicole would be afraid if she saw him lose control.He took a deep breath and stared at her closely.“Come out. You know what will happen if you don’t.”Then, Eric turned and left.The garden outside was chilly and quiet, bringing with it a cold breeze.He stood there immersed in the shadows. His cold face was dark and obscure.Nicole paused and felt slightly ov
