The doctor smiled. “Ms. Quimbey’s body is fine, but there are still residues of the injected drugs in her body. It’ll take eight to nine hours for her to fully recover. She’s also a little feverish, but we’ve given her a shot for that, so her fever will subside in a while.”Nicole and Julie sighed in relief.It seemed like they went there in time.After the doctor left, the two of them sat there, looking at Yvette who was lying there in a daze.She seemed to be cursing someone in her dreams. She was scolding Sean.They vaguely heard words like “scumbag” and “go to hell”.Nicole and Julie exchanged a smile. If another person experienced this, they might feel so agonized that they would want to die.However, Yvette only thought about revenge!Less than half an hour later, Clayton rushed back.Nicole looked at the logo of the lunch box he was carrying. It looked like it was from a famous private kitchen.People usually did not even have the chance to get their number to make a r
Nicole and Julie, who was on the side, woke up.Clayton’s eyes sank slightly before quickly recovering.He was not angry. Even if Yvette disturbed Nicole’s sleep, it was not on purpose.Nicole got up and walked over to see Yvette’s ruddy and lustrous face. Her eyes were firm and shining, but her voice was still weak.It was probably because she had not eaten.“You’re awake? How do you feel?”Yvette seemed to remember what happened earlier, and her eyes dimmed.Her voice was weak. “I’m hungry.”Nicole and Julie could not help but sigh in relief as Clayton prepared the food and handed it over.As the two people set up the small table for her, Yvette mumbled, “Grant isn’t here?”Nicole paused, and Yvette pursed her lips as her eyes flashed.“I remember that he saved me. I want to thank him personally.”Yvette had already made herself forget the pain of unrequited love.However, in her memory, it was the first time that Grant protected her like that. It was the first time he h
However, before Nicole could react, Clayton already let go of her hand as if nothing happened. He politely nodded to the people inside and then turned to leave with a smile in his eyes.His back was frank and warm, with not the slightest trace of the small action he just did.Nicole secretly clicked her tongue at him and turned around.As soon as she did, she saw Yvette and Julie smiling at her meaningfully.Julie smiled. “Mr. Sloan moves very quickly. You two are so sweet to each other now. Is the next step discussing marriage?”Nicole gave her a chastising glare.“What are you thinking? We should be thinking about Yvette’s matters now. You’re focusing on the wrong point!”Yvette could not help but smile. “Your ability to change the topic has improved. Nicole, are you planning on pursuing love instead of your career?”Nicole opened her mouth seriously.“Those aren’t mutually exclusive. Of course, I’m career-oriented. Love is just icing on the cake!”“Love rat!” The two of th
Grant nodded, his face expressionless.“Then get some rest. If you need help with Sean, you can ask Nicole.”Yvette’s face turned slightly pale. She pursed her lips and suddenly looked up at him.“Thank you for your help, Grant.”Grant frowned but still nodded.“Don’t mention it. You’re Nicole’s friend, and I still have business dealings with your family, so it’s only natural to help you.”In an instant, the light in Yvette’s eyes disappeared completely.At that moment, she felt that it was futile no matter how she tried to hide it.Among the many reasons why Grant helped her, none of it was because she was Yvette.Yes, what qualifications did she have?Nicole pursed her lips. “Big Brother, Aida and you should go back to work if you’re busy. I’ll send Yvette home later.”Grant did not really want to stay here, so he nodded and pulled Aida’s hand to leave.Before they left, Aida glanced back at Yvette.However, there was not much probing in that glance. It seemed there was
For a moment, the room was shocked.External cost quotation was confidential, and no one would know unless they were insiders.“How do you know this, Ms. Quimbey?”“Is that true?”“What’s their relationship?”.....Sean regained his composure, and he fixed his gaze on Yvette with a deadly stare.A slightly fat woman sitting next to him looked a little mean. She recognized Yvette and immediately stood up.“Ms. Quimbey, did Sean not give you enough money? Or are you not satisfied with the amount? What’s your motive for causing trouble now?”Yvette glanced at the woman and gave a cold laugh.“We meet again, Mrs. Moore.”“You act really confident for a mistress. Ms. Quimbey’s skin is really extraordinarily thick. Now that you’ve been dumped, you’re throwing the handle after the blade and throwing mud at us?”Mrs. Moore looked at Yvette, wanting nothing more than to tear her apart. How dare Yvette show up in front of her?Yvette was stimulated by the word ‘mistress’ and her fac
However, Sean did not care about Mrs. Moore. He only had eyes for Yvette and pulled her out despite her struggle.Nicole frowned. She was afraid that Sean would take Yvette away and was just about to chase after them when she suddenly heard Eric’s cold voice.“Mitchell, catch up with Mr. Moore and tell him that the signing of the contract will be postponed indefinitely.”Mitchell was watching all this from the corner and immediately stood up when he was called by name.“Understood, President.”Was it because he did not want Nicole to go after them?The moment Nicole hesitated, Eric called her name.“Nicole…”She turned around. Eric stood up, his eyes still as sharp and oppressive as ever.His voice was low and lazy.“Thank you for telling us this. Otherwise, we would’ve lost a lot of money after signing with Mr. Moore.”Nicole pursed her lips calmly. “If you want to thank someone, then thank Yvette. It was her information.”To the side, Mrs. Moore looked pale when she heard
Eric looked at her profile which was quiet and beautiful, yet she did not belong to him anymore.Dark thoughts were always breeding in his heart. If she did not belong to him, should he just ruin her then?......Nicole saw that Yvette had finished scolding Sean and walked over when she waved.Sean’s expression did not look good.They were just about to leave when Sean’s voice sounded, hoarse as if he was cut by a knife.“Yvette, apart from this matter, I’ve never lied to you. I told her that we’ll be getting a divorce in the afternoon. Please…”Please wait for me.Before he could finish, Yvette sneered at him.“You two are a match made in heaven, so you mustn’t divorce because of me. I was really unlucky to step on dog sh*t like you. Don’t let me see you in Atlanta ever again, or I’ll beat you up every time I do!”After playing around for so long, her heart finally decided to settle down and she accepted a man she wanted to keep in her life for a long time.What was the res
Nicole watched Yvette walk in front and dazedly get on the elevator, her legs still trembling a little.She suddenly felt some pity for Yvette.According to Mrs. Quimbey’s temper, she might really beat Yvette to death.Yvette stood at the door and took a deep breath before mustering the courage to push the door in.“Mom…”Mrs. Quimbey controlled the whole Quimbey family. She raised Yvette alone, but she was also famous for being a strong and able woman.Her temper was thunderous, and her character was uncompromising.Before Nicole went in, several photos were thrown in front of Yvette and fell to the ground.“Look at what you’ve done!”Yvette picked the photos up and had a look, and instantly turned pale.She had not told her mother about this yet. Unexpectedly, someone had already sent photos of Sean and her together, and the photos of Mrs. Moore causing trouble for her.When Nicole came in, she also saw the photos.“Hello, Aunty.”Seeing that Nicole was also here, the fa
