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
Besides saving Nicole twice by luck, Eric really could not figure out what else Clayton had for her to like him.That was gratitude, not love.He wanted to let Nicole recognize that clearly. Do not be fooled by him just because of gratitude!Nicole was silent for a few seconds before her voice lowered.“I’m together with him because I know what kind of person he is, but I don’t have to explain it to other people.”Lil Michael’s existence could be considered a stain to Clayton.However, Nicole never minded it. She only felt heartache on behalf of Clayton.Eric’s fist tightened and loosened.His voice was hoarse. “I can also risk my life for you, Nicole…”His tone was almost pleading.Nicole’s eyes moved slightly as she looked at him coldly and seriously.“Mr. Ferguson, it has been proven that we’re not suitable. Please stop wasting your time on me. I hope that our relationship will just remain as business partners…”Just as she spoke, Clayton could not hold back anymore and
After Clayton heard her words, the corners of his mouth swelled with a warm smile.He was completely reassured.From the beginning, Nicole had never said “I like you” before, but she was already prepared to like him.That was enough.Eric was not important. No matter what Eric did, it was impossible for him to get Nicole’s heart again.Clayton held her hand and did not let go.Although Nicole was not used to it, she did not feel uncomfortable.Clayton sent her to her door but did not go in.He looked at her with a gentle smile. “Goodnight, Nicole.”Clayton lived just upstairs, so close to her.Nicole smiled and waved. “Goodnight.”The two of them stood face to face, no one leaving first.“You go first?” Nicole suggested.Clayton said, “You go in first.”......The two of them struggled for a while and Nicole’s face quietly grew red.The phone in the room suddenly rang, and she sighed in relief. “Okay, I’ll go in first!”She ran inside as if she was fleeing.Nicole hea
Nicole nodded calmly and looked at them.“My bodyguards will come over to help in a moment. Just let them in.Then, she drove straight in.As soon as Nicole got out of the car, she saw Julie who was hurrying over.The two of them exchanged a glance. Before they could speak, the car behind them suddenly lit up its headlights.Nicole turned around and looked at the three cars that stopped in front of her.Then, a dozen people dressed in black shirts and trousers got out. Judging by their stern expressions, it was clear that they were not ordinary.They were all bodyguards for the Stanton family.Then, Grant got out of the car and walked over expressionlessly.“Let’s go…”Julie looked like she was a little stunned by the momentum but quickly reacted. It was indeed a little risky if it were just Nicole and her.Nicole did not expect Grant to come over personally, but she did not think much about it. Saving Yvette was more important.They arrived at the door.Julie knocked on t
