Nicole went to and from work as usual and did not have any abnormal reactions or behaviors.

However, on this day, many people were still

paying attention to her movements and reactions.

After all, they used to be married. Even after their divorce, Eric’s attitude towards her could be described as extremely humble. Many people were looking forward to them getting back together.

Some people felt that it was best if Nicole did not turn back. It was painful enough to fall once, so it was better if she could just be her beautiful self.

However, some people felt bad for Eric’s humility and hoped that Nicole would give him another chance. After all, these two people looked really good together.

Suddenly, Eric got engaged. It was like he had betrayed their relationship again. His previous deep love and humbleness seemed to have become a deception.

The expectation that everyone had for this relationship turned into sympathy for Nicole.

Even the employees in Stanton Corporation were unable to accept the situation.

They kept cursing Eric for being fickle and disloyal. When it was almost the end of the day, they watched as Nicole’s rumored boyfriend, Clayton Sloan, walked in calmly and briskly with a few boxes of dessert. He got into the elevator and entered Nicole’s office.

Everyone’s resentment suddenly dissipated.

If Nicole did not care, what was the point of their indignation?

Furthermore, Clayton’s qualifications were not bad at all. His resume was clean. He was gentle and upright, and never was condescending or oppressive when he spoke. At this point, everyone’s favorable impression of Clayton doubled.

Clayton knocked on the door and went in. Nicole was packing up to finish work.

Her eyes flashed in surprise when she saw him. Then, she smiled.

“Aren’t you busy today?”

He had to handle his own affairs as well as the decisions for Sloan Corporation in Liberty. He was incredibly busy during this period.

Clayton smiled gently. He had a kind and thoughtful temperament as he stood there and looked at her.

“Eating dessert will boost your mood. I specially went to buy some.”

Nicole looked at him with complicated eyes.“ I’m not in a bad mood. ”

Clayton paused for a moment.“ It was just in case.”

Nicole smiled and walked over. “Do you have such little confidence in yourself?”

Clayton understood the meaning of Nicole’s words and rubbed his temples with a smile.

“The girl I love is too perfect. I ought to have a sense of crisis at all times.”

Nicole laughed.

He was obviously jealous, but how did he manage to make it sound so pleasing?

Clayton went over to hold her waist, familiarly lowered his head, and landed a kiss on her lips. He looked at her fondly, and his voice was slightly dark.

“Do you want to have a taste of the dessert or me?” His clear and elegant voice was slightly husky.

Nicole quickly understood what he meant and pushed him away fiercely.

Her face was slightly red. Her eyelashes quivered.“ We’re in the office…”

What was he thinking?!

Clayton’s smile widened, and he murmured in a low voice.

“Oh… Then shall we go home?”

Clayton was too busy and had not been able to accompany Nicole for several days. He withheld those kinds of thoughts until he felt like dying. Once he had a taste of her, he was unable to quit.

She was his. She could only be his. She had to remember that at all times.

Nicole pushed him gently, slightly angry. “Mr. Sloan, you’ve become a bad boy.”

Clayton blinked and smiled seductively with a hint of restraint. He spoke softly in her ear.

“I’m only bad to you, babe.”

Nicole’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She had to admit that when she was with Clayton, she was happy, relaxed, and addicted to him.

She seemed to be getting more inseparable from him.

Eric suddenly paused and looked back, staring at Angie intently.

“Pick them up so I can be threatened by you? Angie, if you dare to think about doing anything to them, I don’t mind using your life to pay for Charles’s.”

A flash of pale shock flashed in Angie’s eyes.

It was not until Eric slammed the door and left did the unnaturalness on Angie’ s face gradually faded.

No matter what she did, Eric would always get the wrong idea.

Forget it. She would release Charles when they got married.

At that time, Eric would understand her sincerity.

After Nicole and Yvette left, they went to a cafe for some coffee and sighed in relief.

Yvette sent a message to Lance before looking at Nicole in front of her, extremely calm.

“Why didn’t you just let me diss her? That woman is really shallow. She said that she wanted someone else’s wedding dress?”

Just saying it made her angry.

Who dared to think about Yvette’s things? Nicole frowned and looked at her.

“ It’s not like you don’t know Angie’ s background. Don’t cause trouble and save yourself the inconvenience.”

“I’m not afraid of her.”

Yvette smiled fearlessly. “Eric must be blind to take a fancy to that person. Why should I be afraid?”

Nicole looked at her solemnly.

“Ms. Quimbey, don’t think that foreign countries are as peaceful as Mediania. You’ve been to Central Asia as a tourist, but the Central Asia she stays in is war-torn. You’ll really be powerless if she tries to make a move against you.”

Yvette was stunned and blinked. Her voice subconsciously weakened.

“You don’t have to exaggerate that much.”

Nicole shook her head helplessly. She would always remember the turmoil in the streets of Europe. She remembered the brushes with death like it was just yesterday.

Eric and Angie’ s engagement ceremony was a bit too low profile.

No one knew if it was because of Eric’s order, but even the media was not notified. The partners in the industry were not invited in a flamboyant way, and only some people in Atlanta’s business circles received the invitation.

The scope was not clearly defined, and there was no extra planning for those with good or bad relationships. It was as if it was not his own engagement ceremony.

Even so, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to make connections with the Ferguson family. Everyone tried their best to get an invitation to participate.

The closer it got to the day, the more nervous everyone’s movements were.

Even Nicole heard a lot of rumors. Some people even tried to get an invitation to Eric’s engagement ceremony through her.

Nicole politely declined their request and said that she had not received an invitation either.

At that point, everyone looked at Nicole with heartache and regret, feeling indignant for her.

Even if he was her ex-husband, he should not ignore the dignity on the surface.

It was as if she was the one who was abandoned. Men’s hearts changed too quickly.

Eric was really narrow-minded.

Nicole only smiled and did not say anything.

She was not interested in joining the hustle and bustle. Compared to Eric, she was not willing to be tied to marriage and waited to see his next move.

However, on the day of the engagement, Yvette went over with Lance excitedly.

Yvette looked in high spirits as she fanned the flames while watching the bustle. Lance looked exasperated.

She should not be in the business circle. She should be in the entertainment circle instead.

In the most luxurious commercial hotel in Atlanta.

Many people stood at the door, exchanging pleasantries with each other. Before they got out of the car, Lance told Yvette not to wander around.

Yvette answered perfunctorily.

Lance simply took her hand and went in together, not giving her the chance to leave his side.

Even he sensed that today’s engagement party was unusual.

The bodyguards and waiters at the door were most likely not arranged by the hotel. Only professional security teams have that cold aura.

A dangerous aura was secretly surging behind the bright lights.

Angie attached great importance to the engagement. Both the process and the clothing were carefully selected.

Eric’s people were also extremely cooperative.

Eric did not want to participate in the process of trying on wedding dresses, but Angie was extremely serious and had someone call Eric to come over and see.

In this shopping mall, it was difficult to make an appointment in this bridal store.

However, to Angie, it was not hard to name – drop Eric. Who would not show respect to the Ferguson family?

Unexpectedly, when they went there, they saw unexpected people.

Nicole was accompanying Yvette to try on her wedding dress.

The one Yvette was wearing had just been shipped from France. Lance had it booked in advance, so she took the time to find Nicole to try on the dress.

It could be said to be the only one of its kind.

The attendant welcomed Angie and Eric and politely bowed.

“ If you need anything, please call us to serve you.”

Angie looked at Nicole sitting on the sofa, and then at Yvette, and her expression changed.

She looked up at Eric and secretly regretted it in her heart.

Fortunately, there was not much change in his expression.

He sat at a distance, as if he did not see Nicole. Angie smiled.

She walked over to look at Yvette’s wedding dress and admired it.

“This dress is beautiful. I want it too.”

The attendant looked like she was put on the spot.

Yvette smiled. “I had this custom-made. It needed to be booked three months in advance and is the

only one of its kind. You can’t buy it.”

Angie’s face changed slightly. Nicole stood up, stopping Yvette from continuing to provoke Angie, and smiled.

“Yvette’s wedding dress was designed by incorporating her and her husband’s name, so it’s unique. If you wear it, it’ll be like wearing Yvette’s name to get married.”

Angie’s gaze loosened and she nodded. “Then forget it.”

She walked over to Eric. “Let’s customize one too!” Angie wanted to have what others had.

Eric looked up. His eyes suffused with a chill, but his voice was particularly restrained.

“Sure, then postpone the engagement for three months.”

Angie’s eyes flashed for a moment. “Forget it. The engagement is more important than the dress.”

Nicole and Yvette glanced at each other and remained silent.

Yvette originally wanted this designer’s customized model and just came here to see if it was suitable. Since it was, there was no need to continue.

She went in and changed back into her ordinary clothes before coming out. There were just a few details that had to be improved a little.

Yvette pulled Nicole out, and they left without even looking at Eric.

Eric did not take the initiative to greet them either. It was like seeing a stranger.

When she left and the wind chime of the door closing sounded, veins slightly raised on the back of Eric’s hand.

Angie tried on the wedding dress and came out, happily carrying the skirt to receive praise from others.

“Eric, look. Do I look good? I want to be your most beautiful bride!”

Eric was indifferent. His eyes did not land on Angie’s body.

Angie did not mind either. She went over and sat on his lap, deliberately wrapping his arms around his neck and speaking with a smile.

“Look, you already forgot about her. You can do it. A s long as you don’t look at her, I won’t touch her.”

A trace of coldness flashed in Eric’s eyes, and he fiercely pushed her off him.

It was like even restraining himself felt offensive. “Try it on yourself. I have work to do.”

His tone was icy as he straightened his clothes and lifted his feet to leave.

The corners of Angie’ s mouth twitched. ”Will your relatives not attend the wedding? Do you want to pick up your elders and sister from abroad?”

Fortunately, Clayton’s dealings with Angie were not that deep. That woman almost harmed him.

After this incident, almost everyone knew that Eric’s fiancée was a remarkable person.

However, although she was great, they did not dare to touch her.

They did not even know to kiss up to her.

After all, if they were not careful, they would easily end up getting themselves killed.

Before the engagement, Angie was in a hurry to expand her forces to Atlanta. She constantly attended various major celebrity gatherings, and Eric seemed to let her do as she pleased.

He did not care, did not ask, and did not stop her. He only sent someone to follow her, so no one could figure out what he wanted.

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric had just hung up the phone when someone knocked on the door and came in.

Keith was panting as he sat opposite Eric with a smug look, tossing the document in his hand on the table.

“Ferg, you have to thank me well this time. Do you know how much effort I went through to get this thing?”

Eric faintly hooked his lips. His eyes were obscure and sharp.

“ I left a villa over in the harbor for you. Didn’t you say that Livia was pregnant and wanted to go there to raise the baby?”

Keith was stunned. That place was completely bought off before it even finished construction, so even someone like him did not manage to get a place. Eric probably took a lot of effort to get it.

He did not expect such generosity. “Ferg…”

Keith was incredibly touched.

Although Livia was with him, it was mostly because of the child.

Living in their previous house always made her think about the bad past.

That was why Keith wanted to move out, but he did not take a liking to ordinary places and was unable to obtain the place he did take a liking to.

Eric’s generous move helped him solve a big problem!

Eric was disgusted by that emotional response. “Get down to business.”

Keith immediately turned serious.“ Don’t worry. You let Angie expand her business. On one hand, you arranged for assistants to help her, and you also let her in and out of the relevant departments for quality control, letting her think that things are going well. She has already started to contact her people in East Asia. The people on that side also foolishly think that there’s a big fat piece of meat waiting for them here…”

Eric’s eyes darkened for a moment. “There’s no movement from her father?” Keith spoke seriously.

“Not yet, but the people in contact with Angie won’t fail to tell that arms dealer Caleb. After all, he’s been eyeing the firearms business here for a long time. He just doesn’t have enough connections for now. If you marry his daughter, he’ll get the connections he needs. It’s unlikely he’ll step in to stop it, and he might even facilitate your marriage. I think that Caleb will probably come over when you get engaged.”

Eric narrowed his eyes. The atmosphere in the office was dark and gloomy.

“Dig along this line. If Caleb comes, he won’t fail to bring my father along either. When that time comes, no one can leave. ”

There was an intimidating chill in his tone.

Keith nodded. “Don’t worry, I’m keeping an eye out for you. Uncle Charles… He’ll be fine…”

What he wanted to say was that it was good enough that Charles was still alive.

After all, Angie was a psycho.

To force Eric into marriage, Angie really dared to chop off one of Charles’s legs. If not for the DNA test proving that the severed limb was from Charles, Eric would not have agreed to it.

Although there was little movement domestically, the matter had spread in the foreign mob.

Eric had to save him.

He was threatened and provoked by a woman. Who was the one being forced here?

Eric’s forehead bulged with veins as he held back his emotions. He only let out a dull sound from his throat.

Seeing that he had no intention of continuing the chat, Keith got up and left.

Keith had not seen Eric in action for a long time. Vaguely, he felt some anticipation.

Clayton felt that something was wrong with Nicole in an instant. He took a deep breath. “Babe…”

Nicole interrupted him and looked at the driver in front.

“Pull over.”

The driver was Clayton’s. He hesitated, not knowing what to do.

There was clearly nothing wrong when they came here. How did it suddenly change?

When Nicole saw that the driver had no intention of stopping, she immediately tried to open the door. Clayton’s face changed, and he immediately stopped her hand.

“Nicole…”

There was anxiousness in his tone.

He looked at the driver. “Stop the car.”

The car slowly stopped at the side of the road, and Nicole got out without saying a word.

She did not know what she was angry about, but her heart was stuffy.

It was not because of Eric and Angie, but because Clayton was also involved in this matter.

Nicole never suspected him, but he hid it well.

Clayton naturally did not let Nicole leave like that and chased after her, standing in front of her.

“Wait, I’ll tell you everything.”

He was really scared. He was so scared that Nicole would look at him with such indifferent eyes.

It was like she did not know him.

He took a deep breath and could only tell her what he told Angie privately.

“I didn’t want to hurt anyone. I just hoped that Angie wouldn’t try anything with you, and I don’t want her to step on you to contact Eric, so I provided her with a few ideas for her to pester Eric.”

When Clayton saw Nicole standing there stoically, he was at a loss and panicked.

“Nicole, don’t give me the silent treatment. If you’re angry, you can hit me and scold me all you want.”

When such a gentle person said such humble words, it was indeed quite pitiful.

Nicole pursed her lips as her heart wavered.

If it was just that, there was indeed nothing to be angry about.

She looked at him with a deep gaze. “Do you know what your mistake was?”

“Yes.”

Clayton spoke firmly.

Nicole’s lips curled. “What is it then?”

Clayton hesitated for a few seconds before speaking. “I should’ve told you from the beginning…”

Nicole smiled. “I’m not interested in knowing that. Your biggest mistake was that you lied to me when I asked you just now.”

“Babe, I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again, I promise!”

Clayton looked at her with sincere eyes. The gentleness in his eyes looked like he wanted to take her in.

Nicole was really powerless against that gaze. He was the best at using this trick against her.

When Clayton saw her attitude soften, he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her. His actions were extremely gentle.

“Nicole, I did it completely out of jealousy. I admit my selfishness, but if I made you upset because of this matter, I’m sorry.”

His tone was low and raspy, like a wisp of fog in the darkness.

Nicole paused and wrapped her arms around his waist, sighing.

“Forget it. I’ll forgive you this time.”

Clayton put some force in his hands and held her tightly. His warmth instantly enveloped her. Nicole smiled.

“Well, let’s go back?”

Clayton nodded, and his gaze darkened. “To the apartment?”

She knew at a glance what he was up to.

Nicole chuckled. “To the mansion! My dad is waiting for me to have dinner.”

She waved her phone in front of him to show that she was not lying.

The light in Clayton ‘s eyes dimmed. He sighed and was unwilling but compelled to let go.

“ If only Uncle Floyd liked me as much as he likes Michael. That way, I could live in your house.”

There were surprisingly a few hints of coquettishness in those words.

Nicole smiled. “Then you have to work hard.”

Clayton sent her back to the mansion and watched her go in before he slowly sighed in relief.

He almost lost her.

Angie flaunted how her love for Eric was more solid than gold before looking at the silent Mitchell behind her.

“Mitchell, please ask Eric to pick me up. I’m tired…”

Mitchell expressionless retreated to the side to make a phone call.

Nicole and Clayton exchanged a glance. Just then, Yvette came over to say hello and pulled Nicole away.

Nicole was still a little worried about Clayton, who was still standing there.

Yvette said, “Are you afraid she’ll eat him up? That woman’s target isn’t Clayton.”

That was true.

Nicole sighed in relief.

Yvette spoke with a smile.

“Those people were originally inquiring about the identity of Eric’s fiancée. After this, no one will inquire again. Hahaha…”

Nicole also curled her lips. For some reason, she found it quite funny.

It was such a sensitive word, but Angie said it like she was selling toys.

Clayton said a few words and wanted to leave, but Angie suddenly stopped him.

“Mr. Sloan, keep an eye on Nicole. Don’t let her come out and cause trouble when I’m engaged!”

Clayton frowned slightly. “Of course. I wish you a happy engagement. ”

Angie smiled. “Mr. Sloan, don’t you want to know how I proceeded so smoothly?”

Without waiting for him to refuse, she spoke up.

“ I chopped off one of Charles’ s legs. Eric actually got scared and agreed to the engagement obediently. I plan to expand part of our power in East Asia over here, so Eric won’ t easily break off the marriage. He’ll be dead set on me! Do you think my method is good?”

Clayton was silent for more than half a minute and did not have any reaction.

In the end, he let out a light laugh. “It’s a good idea.”

Angie smiled in satisfaction upon seeing his approval.

“I like talking with smart people like you. When you get married to Nicole, I’ll definitely send you a big gift.”

Clayton did not say anything else and turned around to search for Nicole’s figure.

That stupid woman. Angie was basically sold out by Eric, yet she was still helping him to count money.

How could Clayton believe that such a woman would pose a threat to Eric?

Nicole said goodbye to Yvette and went outside to get a breather. It felt much better than the room inside, which was mixed with a mess of perfume fragrances.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she went out, she saw a tall shadow standing at the door.

The man stood there, and his gaze was blazing as he saw her too.

His voice was a little raspy. “Nicole…”

He did not manage to hide the cold frown between his eyes.

Nicole paused and nodded as if nothing happened,

intending to go around him.

Eric did not make any other move and just said one sentence.

“Tell Clayton not to have any ideas about Angie. Otherwise, I’ll kill him as well.”

There was a dense chill in those words.

Nicole did not understand and wanted to ask for clarification, but Eric had already pushed the door open and walked in.

She did not go after him. Not long after, Clayton came out.

He held her coat, and his eyes were warm. “Let’s go. It’s a little cold outside…”

Nicole nodded and got into the car. When she looked sideways at him, he also happened to look at her.

He seemed to catch on and pursed his lips. “Do you have something to say?”

Nicole nodded.

“You didn’t make any deals with Angie, right?”

The meaning in Eric’s words just now clearly meant that he knew that Clayton and Angie had a private connection.

However, why did they have a connection?

Nicole did not understand. It was like a fog densely shrouded her vision so that she could not see anything.

She did not want to speculate or doubt Clayton, so she asked straightforwardly.

Clayton paused for a moment. His gaze darkened in an instant.

“No.”

Nicole pursed her lips. She pulled her hand out of Clayton’s, and her expression turned glum.

She clearly saw a trace of nervousness across Clayton’s eyes.

He was lying.

Everyone was in an uproar, especially when they heard the words Ferguson Corporation.

Some people looked at Angie in the direction the host pointed to.

Others turned their eyes to Nicole.

Nicole was really speechless and could only sit there calmly and pretend to be surprised.

What a group of dramatists!

Next to Nicole, Clayton gently held her hand and spoke in a low and mellow voice.

“Don’t buy anything. I’ll take you to the mall later?”

Nicole’s mood instantly became better. “That’s tiring. Just send it straight home.”

Clayton said, “Sounds good.”

However, their deliberate ignorance did not mean that a certain person would also pretend as if they had no relationship.

Angie finally gave up the path of imitating Nicole. She wore a dark suit belonging to her own style and looked cool. Like this, she appeared bolder, pleasing to the eye, and recognizable.

The result of her throwing money away to buy out the place also attracted many ladies to follow suit.

Furthermore, with her identity as Eric’s fiancée, there were plenty of people around who wanted to ask her about it.

No one investigated why Eric himself did not come. He was not the kind of person to attend this kind of occasion.

Angie stood there beside Eric’ s assistant, Mitchell. Mitchell kept silent and acted as a bodyguard.

Angie’s eyes overflowed with smugness and pride a s she looked at the people around her.

“You all aren’t familiar with me, but we’ll get to know each other soon. I’ll be coming here often after marrying Eric, so there are plenty of opportunities to meet.”

“Ms. Angie, what kind of business are you in? You and Mr. Ferguson look like a perfect match! You’re made for each other!”

To the side, Mitchell was silent without any reaction.

Originally, everyone speculated about Angie’s mysterious identity. There were many doubts about their engagement. They could not find out Angie’s background, so they were unable to start.

However, since Eric’ s assistant was here today, it meant he was standing up for her, right?

Thus, they were relieved and joined in the fun with confidence.

Angie smiled. “My family is in the firearms business and is planning to expand the market here. I surveyed Mediania. There are very few arms dealers with deep roots like my family. I’m going to build an R&D center here and expand it across the country. If you need weapons, just come to me and I’ll give you a special discount!”

The ladies paled and looked at each other, momentarily speechless.

It seemed there was no possibility to cooperate with her business.

A special discount? What was the point?

Angie wanted to get a foothold here, but she could not just rely on Eric. She had to rely on herself too.

Selling weapons was her calling, so she easily found her way.

Who would not want something secure?

Angie did not mind everyone’s shocked faces, but she saw two familiar acquaintances.

She walked over with a smile. “Mr. Sloan, we must cooperate if there’s a chance. Weren’t you always looking for a direction of investment?”

To the side, Nicole naturally heard Angie’s bold words. She wondered whether this woman was actually stupid or just simple-minded.

Clayton’s lips twitched, and his expression was calm.

“Sorry. Selling weapons isn’t within the scope of my investment.”

Angie ruffled her hair regretfully. “Very well then. What a pity.”

Then, she looked at Nicole. “What about you, Ms. Stanton? Are you interested?”

Nicole smiled. “No.” Angie said, “Boring.”

She turned the topic back to Nicole.“ I really hope you’ll attend my wedding with Eric, but Eric has his own concerns and might feel a little awkward, so I hope you won’t mind!”

Nicole smiled, not reacting much to this. “Of course not. I can understand. ”

When Clayton and Nicole took out the gift, Yvette’s eyes went wide with joy.

She held the small gift box and wanted to jump up and kiss Nicole.

“OMG! I dreamed of getting this when I was eighteen. Nicole, it’s true that I have to rely on my best friends to achieve my dreams! What’s the use of relying on myself?”

Yvette wanted to stomp her feet in excitement. Her eyes shone as she stared at the huge pink diamond in the box.

Unlike the one in Nicole’ s safe, this one was from Chile and was also a treasured item of the royal family. It took a lot of time and contacts to get it.

However, Nicole was relieved to see Yvette so happy.

“This is a personal gift. My father and brothers also prepared a lot of wedding gifts for you, so don’t hold back! Our beloved Ms. Quimbey’s wedding must be grand!”

Yvette was all smiles and went over to hug her.“ Nikki baby, let me marry you!”

Beside them, Clayton coughed helplessly and broke her excited mood.

“Ms. Quimbey, please watch yourself…”

Sure enough, the person who knew Yvette the most was still her best friend.

Nicole patted her shoulder and disgustedly pried her off.

“You have to thank Clayton more. If not for him, I would’ve fooled you with other pink diamonds. It’s thanks to him that we got this one.”

Yvette looked at Clayton and sized him up with a smile.

“That’s also because of you. Otherwise, why would Mr. Sloan put so much thought into it?”

Clayton said, “That’s true.”

The three looked at each other and laughed. Yvette put the things away and sighed.

“ In the future, I’m just a salaryman, so I can’t just squander money anymore. I have to take advantage of this wedding to save more money! ”

Nicole knew about Yvette and Lance’ s affairs and did not ask any more questions.

The lights flashed, and there was a feeling of indulging in luxury.

Yvette dragged Nicole to the side and quietly leaned in.

“Did you know? Don’t be surprised later. Eric’s fiancée is also coming.”

Nicole’s lips pulled. She really was a little surprised.

To be honest, this circle was only suitable for young ladies who indulged in luxury. The daughter of an arms dealer like Angie did not fit in.

Yvette muttered, “I didn’t invite her, but she pulled a lot of strings from asking many people. I heard that she wanted to get into this circle to help Eric. She’s really obsessed.”

Nicole raised her brows. “Don’t talk about her. Is there anything interesting in the charity auction in a few minutes?”

Yvette said, “It’s all cosmetic stuff and nothing good. It’s just to fill up the numbers. Everyone will only buy it out of respect. I don’t want to be a spendthrift, but I took out one of my mother’s necklaces to support the scene.”

Nicole smiled. After a while, the scene heated up.

Ever since Clayton moved his business to Mediania, countless people have wanted to cooperate with him.

The Wall Street capital behind him was beyond the reach of many people. Furthermore, Sloan Corporation was already in his hands.

Clayton was clearly a mighty figure on this kind of occasion, but Clayton did not want to socialize here. He either stood beside Nicole to talk or sat alone in his seat, letting people have a good impression of him.

The auction started.

At first, the bidding was respectable. Whether it was luxury items or collectibles, it was not outrageous.

Everyone thought that at the end of the day, someone would come forward to push up the price, buying the whole lot in essence.

It was very hard not to attract everyone’s attention.

By the end, except for that buyer, the others had basically stopped raising their bids and were even more curious about the person.

“Alright, let’s thank this kind lady for sending warmth to the children in the mountains. She’s the fiancée of the President of Ferguson Corporation, Ms. Angie!”

In Mediania, the least extensive field was probably firearms.

It was too much trouble that could not be messed with.

No matter how stupid Eric was, he would not drag Ferguson Corporation into the mud.

Furthermore, he did not lack money or power. Why was he marrying Angie?

It was either because of true love or because he was forced to.

Between the two scenarios, the latter was more convincing.

Floyd paused and pondered for a moment.

“I heard that you and Eric have an awkward relationship. Keep your distance for now and don’t invite trouble to yourself.”

Nicole nodded.

That was also why she respected Angie from a distance away.

After dinner, Clayton took Lil Michael back.

Nicole stayed at the mansion, and Floyd went to bed after a while.

After one night of tossing and turning, Nicole had a bad feeling, but she could not say what was wrong.

The consequence of her insomnia was that she got up late.

She was even late for work.

Nicole drove to the office before she had time to eat.

Yvette tried to get a chance to host a bachelor party before her wedding. The party was only in the name of charity. She did not want to publicize her married status yet.

Nicole thought that it was just a small party, but it was unexpectedly quite large. At least more than half of the high society ladies in the circle came, and most of the other half were people Yvette disliked.

Clayton had something to handle and came a little late, but Yvette did not care much about that.

Nicole ate some snacks and sat on the side. There were many people gathered there. On occasions like these, she was always the focus.

She could not hide.

“Ms. Stanton, can you pass on some experience? My family says that I’m lazy and can’t help out in the company. What can I do?”

“Ms. Stanton, I recently opened a new design studio. Do you want to check it out?”

“Ms. Stanton, there’s a big show in Europe in a few days. Do you want to go?”

Nicole smiled and dealt with them as they came. It was much easier than dealing with those businessmen in the industry.

After all, none of them really wanted anything from her. Maintaining a harmonious superficial relationship was the biggest role for these young ladies.

Clayton walked over in an expensive and neat suit. His pace was firm, and his modest and reserved appearance instantly attracted the attention of many people.

He nodded slightly as his hand gently landed on Nicole’s shoulder. The meaning of it naturally spoke for itself.

“Sorry for the disturbance. I was late.”

The last words were said to Nicole.

Nicole’s eyes lit up as she laughed. “You’re not late. It hasn’t officially started yet…”

“Mr. Sloan, I heard that you’ve moved your business to Mediania and that you’re planning to invest in some areas. My father has been wanting to talk to you…”

A young lady who was a good talker did not let go of this opportunity to make friends with Clayton and hastily opened her mouth to stop him.

Just as she was about to introduce herself, Clayton smiled and nodded.

“Alright, I’ll definitely have a good talk when we get the chance later.”

Then, he looked down at Nicole and spoke in a much softer tone.

“Didn’t you tell me to bring a gift for Ms. Quimbey? Do you want to go through it first?”

Nicole nodded. “Of course, let’s go…”

She simply put down the wine glass, stood up, waved to everyone, and walked away with Clayton.

The group of ladies in the back were envious.

“Every time Nicole shows up, we’ll be reduced to supporting characters. When will this young lady become an old maiden?”

“Look at how she’s being pampered. She’s a princess and also a president. What are we being compared to?”

“The point is that she has a great life. First, Eric loves her to death, and now, she also has Clayton’ s undying devotion. How can we get her luck?”

Clayton silently withdrew his hand, stood up, and walked over.

“Chairman Stanton, Michael has stayed here for a long time. I’m sorry to disturb you.”

Floyd had a problem with Clayton, but he loved Lil Michael from the bottom of his heart.

He rolled his eyes. “No need for that. I did it for that poor child.”

Poor child?

Clayton did not understand how this adjective could be used to describe Michael.

However, he did not argue.

Nicole walked over leisurely and stood behind Floyd, placing her hands on his shoulders to massage him.

“You’ve worked hard, Dad, but we’ve contacted Lil Michael’s school. He’ll go back and board there again after a few days. It’s still an international school after all, so its standard is trustworthy.”

She gave him a heads up so he would let Michael leave when the time came.

Floyd frowned.

“It’s just that stupid school that charges several hundred thousand a year and watched as children fight each other. It’s not as good as compulsory education back then where things were done properly. Those aren’t any worse than this one!”

Clayton paused. “Yes, Uncle Floyd, you’re right, but there’s no suitable school that’ll accept Michael’ s syllabus right now. Besides, he’s still so young. It’s easy for problems to crop up if he doesn’t get special care.”

Hearing Clayton’s explanation, Floyd finally eased up.

Floyd was not qualified to take care of Lil Michael’ s academic affairs.

Clayton was the guardian.

However, it just broke Floyd’s heart to see Lil Michael being so tired at such a young age.

After talking for a while, Lil Michael woke up from his nap upstairs.

When he saw Nicole, he was so excited that he ran over and hugged her, refusing to let go.

“Pretty Lady, Uncle Floyd and I missed you so much, right?”

Floyd scoffed, unable to get angry with Lil Michael at all.

“Who missed her?”

“Uncle Floyd said that he’ll let me marry you when I grow up!”

Clayton narrowed his eyes and glanced at his son dangerously. He took Michael from the collar and yanked him back.

“Let’s go. I’ll check your homework.” “Pretty Lady, save me…”

The father and son pair disappeared upstairs, and Nicole laughed.

Floyd rolled his eyes at her. “Don’t be too happy yet.”

Nicole blinked. “What’s wrong?”

“I like that boy, but not his father. Don’t think I can’t see how he’s eyeing you.”

Nicole laughed and gently squeezed his shoulders.

“Dad, that’s because I’m too likable!” Floyd chuckled. “Cheeky monkey!”

The two of them chatted and went out to the garden.

Under the setting sun, Floyd stood there and hesitated for a long time before speaking.

“Do you know about Eric’s engagement?”

Nicole nodded.

“I originally thought that there was still hope between you. I wanted you two to get back together but was afraid that you’ll suffer even more. Have you really let go of him?”

Floyd fixed his eyes on his daughter.

Nicole smiled.“ Dad, if I hadn’t let go, I wouldn’t have divorced him.”

Floyd paused for a few seconds before smiling self- deprecatingly.

“That’s true. You’re just like your mother, never dragging your feet.”

“It’s also good that he can start over.”

Nicole said and paused before she added, “But it seems like he’s not serious.”

Floyd turned to the side. “You could tell too?” Nicole nodded.

“Although Ferguson Corporation was very tight-

lipped about it, our people still managed to find something out from the investigation. Eric’s fiancée, Angie, is the daughter of an arms dealer in East Asia. They’re very powerful. Ferguson Corporation is completely clean without the slightest stain on the surface. How would they deliberately let themselves get involved in firearms? Wouldn’t that be intentionally giving people dirt on them?”
