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
Nicole was stunned and wondered why Aida Webber wanted to see her.Since Aida was her soon-to-be sister-in-law, Nicole could not put on airs.“Please come in.”Nicole smiled and watched as Aida walked in. Aida was gentle and pretty, with a smile that made people want to get close to her, like a spring breeze.“Aida, you’re here to look for my big brother, right?”Aida smiled. “I have a lunch date with him later, but I wanted to see you first.”Nicole raised her eyebrows and looked at Logan, who nodded and turned to leave.The two ladies had never been alone together.Although Nicole felt sorry that Yvette and Grant could not end up together, Nicole was not going to get involved in their relationship.Nicole would respect whoever Grant chose.“Is Ms. Quimbey better now?”Nicole paused for a moment. Her eyes flickered slightly. “She’s much better now. She’s just been discharged from the hospital.”“I remember that you two were very close back in high school. She often gives t
Aida smiled and stood up. “Nicole is already working very hard, so shouldn’t you share her burden?”Nicole nodded solemnly.Grant glanced at her, expressionless. “Young people need to experience more.”The corners of Nicole’s lips twitched.Finally, Aida and Grant left Nicole’s office.Nicole speechlessly continued to read some documents.Not long after, Logan knocked on the door again and came in.“President, Mr. Sloan is here…”Nicole frowned slightly. ‘We’ve only been separated for less than three hours. Isn’t the frequency of his appearance a little high?’“Come in.”Clayton was now Nicole’s boyfriend, but they did not make it public yet, so even Logan was not aware and only thought that they were simply business partners.Clayton walked in, smiled at her, and carried a food box in his hand.Nicole’s eyes lit up. ‘Isn’t this from that private chef?’“Finished with your work?”Clayton walked over, took the food box out, and set it on the table.He chuckled and replied
Nicole already put on her coat and scarf, then stood at the door with her bag.She was too fast.Clayton did not dawdle and took his things to follow Nicole downstairs.The weather outside was cold and drizzling.Clayton drove. They encountered red lights all the way to the airport, which delayed them even further.However, Clayton did not intend to call Michael to comfort him. When they arrived at the airport, it was already more than half an hour later.Nicole got out of the car and watched as Clayton unhurriedly took out his phone to call Michael’s bodyguard.Clayton looked back at Nicole and said, “They’re coming right over.”Nicole nodded. In less than two minutes, Nicole saw the bodyguard and nanny Susan with Lil Michael, who was hobbling over.Lil Michael was wearing denim suspenders and a leather hat as he walked over like a little punk. He looked so tenderly cute and handsome.It had been a while since Nicole saw Michael, who seemed to be a little taller. His sapphir
Anyway, Lil Michael was going to give it to either Nicole or Clayton.Nicole and Clayton looked at each other. Clayton’s eyelids jumped.Clayton, who was always good-natured, also had times when he could not resist the urge to punch someone.“You guys told me that I can’t give out money and jewelry. These shoes are so exquisite. They’re the most expensive item at that auction, so all girls will like it!”Lil Michael gleefully went over and added, “Pretty Lady, do you like it?”Nicole’s face stiffened. After a long time, her violently beating heart gradually smoothed out.‘After so long, Lil Michael changed his habit of giving me bereavement flowers and wreaths to a dead woman’s shoes? I really can’t bring myself to like this at all!’ Nicole thought.“Michael, promise me to give normal gifts in the future, okay?”Nicole was truly traumatized.Lil Michael frowned and looked at Nicole, not fully understanding her reaction. He then turned to look at Clayton and said, “Then I’ll ju
Clayton frowned slightly. He saw Nicole’s bewildered face and explained, “Isaac Sloan is my second uncle and the heir of the Sloan family.”Nicole nodded. Clayton never mentioned the Sloan family to Nicole before. Since the Sloan family came to Mediania, Clayton would probably find the opportunity to tell Nicole about it.Lil Michael waved his fist. “He’s also a scumbag!”Nicole raised her eyebrows. ‘It looks like the Sloan family isn’t very harmonious…’She laughed and did not say a word. If she had known earlier, she would have gotten Logan to investigate more about it.They sent Lil Michael back home to rest. Nicole did not stay long when she received a call from Floyd.Floyd sounded quite upset. “Lil N, we have guests, so come back home.”In the end, Floyd added, “Come back by yourself.”His words implied that Nicole should go back alone and not take anyone with her.Nicole let out a faint “mm” and said goodbye to Clayton and Lil Michael.Stanton Mansion.The butler, Mr.
Nicole looked at Isaac Sloan with a faint smile. Isaac was truly worthy of being the heir of the Sloan family because he was so generous with his offer.However, there was a revolting sense of superiority in Isaac’s speech and demeanor.Isaac was clearly very different from the modest and polite Clayton.While Nicole was scrutinizing Isaac, he was doing the same to her.In the end, Kai could not help himself and spoke up.“Give up cooperation with Clayton just to cooperate with Sloan Corporation? This tumultuous operation is really confusing. You’re his uncle, right? Aren’t you digging a grave for your nephew by doing this?”Kai’s bluntness made it a little awkward.Isaac laughed. “Yes, that’s about right.”“Mr. Sloan, I don’t quite understand.”Why did Isaac mention Clayton and the Sloan family separately, as if they were not related?Nicole’s eyes were indifferent. She suddenly remembered Lil Michael’s comment earlier. “He’s a scumbag too!”“Ms. Stanton, it seems that Cl
Isaac Sloan laughed. “The Sloan family can certainly afford to support Clayton. If he goes bankrupt, he can start all over again, but if his father is gone, Clayton will never have a chance to see him again.”Nicole sat there in silence, not saying a word.Isaac made his ploys known to all.However, they did not know which among them was true or false.Isaac was really open about such a backstabbing trick.“I know this may be a bit inappropriate, but we have no other way to make Clayton return to the Sloan family. After all, he’s one of us. Rather than toiling away outside, why not serve his own family?”Isaac made it sound like this was all for Clayton’s sake to let Clayton return to the Sloan family.Nicole hesitated for a moment and smiled. “This is a matter of great importance, so I can’t make this decision alone. Mr. Sloan, give me some time to think about it.”Isaac breathed a sigh of relief. He looked confident as he tidied his collar and smiled with certainty.“This is
