Chapter 957 Fragile Little Heart
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
Chapter 958 He’s a Liar
Lil Michael ran out happily.Clayton laughed helplessly and made way for Nicole. Nicole swept a glance at Clayton’s home decor, which was cozy and very comfortable to look at.“Did you come to see me for something?”Nicole nodded her head.“Isaac Sloan went to my house…”Clayton’s face changed slightly. His smile froze at the corners of his mouth.Nicole told him what Isaac said, word for word.“I think that you should be aware of this and make preparations early.”Clayton was silent for a few seconds. For those few seconds, his eyes were indifferent without a touch of warmth.Soon, he regained his gentle smile.Clayton raised his eyes to look at Nicole.“Thank you for telling me this, Nicole. It seems that I’m already your person.”Nicole was dumbfounded. “Your focus is just as off as Kai’s!”Clayton laughed with a playful glint in his eyes.“Your attitude is my focus. No one else matters.”Clayton reached out and took Nicole’s hand, which made the tip of her heart trem
Chapter 959 I Want to Kiss You
This question stunned Nicole a little.“Logan’s already married.”Nicole remembered that Logan even took a wedding leave before this.Clayton laughed. “What a pity, I was planning to introduce a girlfriend to him.”Nicole frowned. “How come I didn’t hear you mention it before?”“I forgot. Must’ve been too busy…”Nicole walked to the door. “I’m leaving now. Why don’t you go downstairs too?”“Wait.”Clayton took a flower from the vase in the living room and walked over. Nicole’s heart skipped a beat.The delicate little Swiss lily was brought in front of her eyes.“I hope this last gift today will make you forget the unhappiness from what you saw at the airport earlier.”The pair of shoes was probably at the museum by now. The curator even called earlier to thank them and repeatedly praised their generosity.Nicole smiled and took the flower. “Thank you.”Of all the gifts, this flower was the most normal one.Clayton smiled and squatted down to put on her shoes.Nicole rea
Chapter 960 Men’s Words Can’t Be Trusted
The two supervisors wanted to say something else, but in the end, no one dared to speak.They knew Grant’s temper. Grant would not give them a second chance when they did something wrong.Once they left, Nicole sat opposite Grant, puzzled.“Didn’t you say that something happened to the project?”Grant lifted his chin. His face was cold as frost.“Those two you saw were bribed by someone and intended to sabotage the project. They were discovered by their subordinates.”“Who bribed them?”“Golden Sea Corporation, a woman named Ava York.”Nicole’s eyes narrowed. “It’s her?”“You know her?”“I’ve dealt with her before. Are there any losses to the project?”“Not yet, but soon. Do you know who is the spokesperson that these two hired?”Grant’s face was grim. He was probably really pissed off by this crazy woman.Nicole shook her head. She was not aware.Usually, real estate projects did not need spokespersons, unless it was a high-end construction.Grant gritted his teeth. “Ha
Chapter 961 Are You My Sister?
When Nicole was still torn between asking what was in it, Grant had already made the decision for her.Learn from past mistakes.The past was a truly bloody lesson learned.When Nicole fell in love, her whole family was apprehensive about any small movements.‘How did I get such a warm and loving family?’ Nicole thought.Nicole smiled and walked over to take the document bag. “You’re right. I can’t believe everything I hear. I should get to know his bottom line before I get sucked in.”Grant looked at his extremely understanding sister with satisfaction. ‘How sensible!’Nicole raised her eyes and looked at him with a smirk.“Big Brother, you’re also a man, so I’ll have to remind Aida of what you just told me too!”Grant’s face changed slightly. He gritted his teeth.“Are you my sister?!”Nicole playfully stuck out her tongue, took her things, and left.Grant was flustered and thought, ‘She’d better not badmouth me in front of Aida!’Nicole’s mood was much better all of a s
Chapter 962 Just to Give You a Hard Time
Logan looked at Nicole in surprise.Nicole’s tone was extremely light. “Since this information was cleaned up beforehand, it means that only the Sloan family knows of what’s beneath all this. Clayton will naturally tell me when he wants to.”Nicole was not blindly confident of how important she was to Clayton to expect him to tell her everything about himself without reservation.It was just that it was not very good to probe into other people’s secrets.After all, it did not matter much to her.Logan sensed that Nicole was not in a great mood, so he took the document over and nodded.“Yes, President.”Nicole stood up and went over to get a cup of coffee.Logan looked at her schedule.“There’s a party tonight that invited President Grant, but he asked you to go in his stead.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Why wasn’t I invited?”Logan nodded, puzzled. He was also not aware of what was going on either.Since Nicole got a firm foothold in Stanton Corporation after her divorce,
Chapter 963 Didn’t Hear Anything
Harvey Sage handed Nicole’s phone to her, expressionless.Nicole said, “Thank you.”“You’re welcome.”It was a call from Clayton, so Nicole picked it up.“Pretty Lady, are you working overtime? Do you want me to pick you up?”No one could resist Lil Michael’s soft and childish voice when he started to act cute.Nicole smiled gently with her eyes. “I have to attend an event, so I can’t go home yet. Have you eaten yet, Michael?”“Oh no! What should I do? I won’t be able to eat without seeing you, Pretty Lady…” Lil Michael muttered sadly.Nicole was heartbroken and was about to persuade him to eat properly when another mature and gentle voice came through.“Don’t listen to his nonsense. He didn’t have dinner yet, but he devoured all the snacks that you asked Logan to send over…”Clayton’s tone was a little helpless.Lil Michael retorted, “I’m still growing, so what’s wrong with eating some snacks?”Nicole’s tone was gentle as she said, “Lil Michael, listen to Daddy. You can’t
Chapter 964 Tattletale
Ava’s face faintly stiffened when she saw Nicole.Ava was surprised and amazed at Nicole’s arrival. ‘The invitation wasn’t for her, but she actually came?’Nicole looked at the old man standing next to Ava York. This event was organized by this old man, who had been silent for a long time. Back in the day, the old man had some status and power, but he was gradually replaced by new forces.Even so, he was still more influential and richer than ordinary people. His contacts and resources accumulated were still there. People in the business world more or less still respected him. Thus, a lot of familiar old bosses came to this banquet.Nicole smiled. The old man naturally knew Nicole because he watched her grow up as a child.He stepped forward. “Ms. Stanton, welcome! I should be calling you President Nicole now, right?”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Uncle, do you really welcome me? I thought I had offended you somehow…”The old man frowned. “Why do you say that?”Nicole glanced at
