    Nicole took a sip and did not drink much, but Gerard drank with gusto.

    Eric, who was sitting to the side, did not say a word. His eyes occasionally glanced over to Nicole.

    His stares were prickling, making it so that she could not ignore him even if she wanted to.

    Nicole tilted her head, unable to bear it. What was he looking at?

    “What are you looking at me for, Mr. Ferguson?”

    Eric’s figure was tall and straight as he sat there casually. His collar was opened to reveal his delicate and cold collarbone, his shirt was tucked into his pants, and his straight legs were so long that there was no place to put them. His legs almost occupied Nicole’s position.

    Two pairs of eyes met each other.

    Eric’s eyes changed a few times in a complicated manner,

    and his voice was low as he spoke. “Didn’t you look at me first?”

    There was a hint of deep coldness in his tone.

    ’If you weren’t looking at me, how would you know that I was looking at you?’

    It was an endless loop that had no definite starting point.

    ’Eric F*ckerson is so unreasonable!’

    Nicole took a deep breath and told herself not to bicker with him.

    Otherwise, she would die from anger sooner or later.

    She looked away and smiled at Gerard. “How is the autopilot driving project going?”

    Gerard became extremely excited at that mention.

    “Although we’re not the first to research this project, our current research results can be regarded as the forefront of the world. Some of our core technologies are beyond the reach of foreign countries!”

    Nicole raised her brows. “Has it been tested?”

    Gerard nodded and shared the joy of this milestone with a pleasant surprise.

    ”We’ve added the most advanced AI sensing system to the chip and assembled it with brakes and acceleration.

    “I went abroad to visit several automotive research centers.

    I’ve basically gone to all the major brands, and I even studied race cars. Foreign sensing technology only determines braking and acceleration according to the obstacles in front of the car, which is easy to confuse if they’re muddled together.

    However, if we apply the braking advantage of race cars to the AI system, a car going at a high speed of 1 80mph can still stop in three seconds while remaining extremely stable.”

    Nicole and Molly looked at him in admiration.

    For some reason, Gerard’s explanation was extraordinarily infectious.

    He was like a pyramid scheme salesman.

    Nicole smiled and even poured him a glass of wine personally.

    “Good work, Mr. Lichman.”

    Gerard waved his hand, equally proud and modest. “It’s what I should do.”

    It was all about the money!

    To the side, Eric swirled his glass and said in an indifferent tone, “Applying the braking principle of race cars to ordinary cars was proposed thirty years ago.

    “So, what exactly is the advantage of our AI car compared to the others?”

    The room instantly fell silent.

    It was like a bucket of cold water splashed on them… Gerard looked at Eric speechlessly.

    He knew that the hardest person to fool here was Eric.

    Especially because this was a profession that Eric loved. Eric loved cars but never raced because he cherished life. Gerard coughed. “Safety.”

    He pursed his lips. “Our biggest advantage is safety. Our cars have been experimented with hundreds of times, and airbags are installed in places that people can touch, both automatically and manually.

    More importantly, humans do not believe that AI can respond emotionally. Thus, in the car, whenever the driver touches the relevant devices, the full-alert mode will be activated and the driver will be able to take the wheel himself, nullifying the control of the AI.”

    This was their final step.

    No matter how advanced the AI system was, no matter how above life it was, they put the ultimate decision- making right into the hands of humans.

    That was the most practical way.

    Molly nodded and picked up where he left off.

    “That’s right. More than that, we used the flight principle in our chip. During critical moments, such as during a coIlision between two cars or the car falling off a cliff, the driver’s seat will rise for about five seconds if it suffers a violent collision or contraction. Three meters is our latest research result.”

    Nicole got into the car.

    As soon as she did, Molly ended a call.

    “Mr. Lichman is back and asked you out for dinner. Do you want me to refuse it for you?”

    Nicole shook her head without hesitation.

    “No need. I just so happen to have a few things I want to ask him about.”

    Molly nodded and said to the phone, “She agreed. She has some things to talk to you about too.”

    It was not polite at all. Nicole was faintly stunned.

    Gerard was the president, right? Could Molly do this?

    Would he not make things difficult for her?

    She pursed her lips and asked tentatively, ”Are you getting by well here? Do you want to go to my company?”

    Molly shook her head.

    ”No, I’m very sentimental towards the company, sigh… Gerard was also a member of our research team, but his ability was limited, so we kicked him out to let him manage the company. Fortunately, he’s quite capable in that aspect Nicole thought, ’Oh, so Molly is one of the founders of the company! It’s no wonder she treated money like dirt!’

    Downstairs, at the J&L Corporation office.

    Nicole told Molly to call Gerard down while Nicole drove personally. There was no need to waste time.

    In less than five minutes, Gerard jogged down. His face still seemed slightly haggard.

    Nicole frowned. “Are you sure you want to have dinner when you’re so tired, Mr. Lichman?”

    Gerard perked up. There was a helpless light behind his elegant glasses.

    “One can’t function on an empty stomach!”

    No matter how tired he was, he still had to eat.

    Nicole fell silent and was just about to start the car when someone opened the passenger door.

    A man with a cold and quiet aura got in. The temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.

    Nicole was startled. Eric sat in the passenger seat boldIy, and his face was as gloomy as ever.

    Did he not leave earlier?

    Nicole thought that Eric had gone back to Ferguson Corporation to smash things in a fit of anger.

    Looking at her shocked expression, Gerard cleared his throat.

    “Um, I just so happened to meet him at the door. You don’t mind, right?”

    It seemed like Gerard already knew.

    Gerard smiled. He had not slept after coming back from a day-long business trip, but Eric called him out to socialize.

    He was really trying his best!

    Eric’s cold face twitched, and his dark eyes gazed deeply at her.

    “You don’t mind, right? We’ll be talking about business, so your boyfriend shouldn’t mind either…”

    Well, Clayton succeeded. Eric took it seriously!

    Nicole quietly turned away and started the car without any explanation.

    Seeing that she did not say a word, Eric’s dark eyes became even more gloomy.

    In the backseat, Gerard and Molly exchanged glances.

    They both sensed that the atmosphere was not quite right. Molly knew very well what was happening between them. However, she could not say…

    Three presidents sat in the car to get together for a meal.

    Nicole got Logan to make a reservation in advance. Logan then went home right after he booked it.

    At the restaurant, they went straight into a private room.

    Gerard first went to the washroom to wash his face. He came back much more refreshed after washing away the fatigue.

    His golden-framed glasses made his skin look fair and cold, giving him an air of abstinence. When people talked about “refined degenerates”, they were talking about people like him.

    Nicole could not help but shoot him a few glances.

    Eric noticed her gaze and his eyes grew slightly colder when he looked at Gerard.

    Inexplicably receiving Eric’s cold treatment, Gerard did his best to ignore it as much as possible.

    “Ms. Stanton, the AI doctor we listed abroad before has already received unanimous praise, but the medical conditions locally and abroad are different, so further integration is needed. How about it? Do you plan to make an additional investment?”

    Nicole knew that he would talk about this the moment he opened his mouth.

    She smiled. “Sure. Send me the plan for the second round of investment. The money will arrive immediately as soon as our board of directors approves it.”

    Gerard knew that she would agree quickly.

    He swept away his fatigue. “Let’s have a toast.”

    Nicole reached out, wanting to do it herself. Beside her, Clayton quietly walked over. “Let me.” His face was as gentle as usual.

    However, Nicole did not feel the slightest warmth.

    She subconsciously dodged, and Molly did not let go either. “I’ll do it instead. I’m more experienced in drying hair!” Clayton was speechless.

    Ten minutes later.

    When Nicole’s hair was dry, Yannick walked in. ”Ms. Stanton, please come again anytime…”

    Nicole smiled. ”My friend has an annual card here. Please look after her.”

    “Of course, of course.”

    The beads of sweat on Yannick’s head were as large as beans, but he still endured the pain and smiled.

    How dedicated.

    Nicole said, “Go see a doctor. A dislocation will heal with around two days of rest.”

    Yannick’s face stiffened as his smile became slightly guilty.

    He had been thinking about going easy on her, but he ended up having his arm dislocated by the delicate young lady.

    That was so embarrassing!

    The three people left the place. Clayton’s eyes darkened when he saw that her expression was off. He pulled open the car door.

    Nicole paused. “I need to send Molly back to the office. You should go back to work, Mr. Sloan.”

    Clayton froze. He was not stupid, so he could feel the sudden alienation from Nicole.

    Molly happily got into Nicole’s car.

    She matched Nicole’s rhythm.

    Clayton’s expression changed slightly. “Are you angry?” Nicole raised her eyes. She was not angry.

    Why would she be angry because Clayton deliberately targeted Eric?

    Logically, she should be on Clayton’s side.

    They had more common interests.

    However, she admitted that she felt very uncomfortable.

    She smiled. “Why should I be angry?”

    “Because I deliberately let Mr. Ferguson misunderstand our relationship.”

    Clayton spoke bluntly.

    Did that not mean that Nicole was still hung up about Eric?

    Was that not why Nicole got angry when Clayton deliberately led Eric to misunderstand?

    Why would she care about that if she did not like him?

    Nicole’s smile was slightly cold.

    “Mr. Sloan, Eric and I are something of the past. There’s no need for others to verify anything. I’m uncomfortable because you’re using me to provoke him.”

    She was not dumb. It was not like she could not tell.

    If it were just a contest between their relationships, Clayton would not disregard her feelings.

    It was because he was taking revenge.

    Well, no matter how perfect a person was, he was still a human. He had selfishness and could feel both happiness and anger.

    Clayton’s heart still bore grudges against Eric for using public opinion to attack him back then.

    He was just looking for an opportunity.

    However, no matter how he searched, Eric’s only weak point was Nicole.

    Clayton thought that Nicole would not be able to tell. He thought that Nicole would play along with him.

    However, she was too sharp. She saw through the little selfishness in his heart.

    Clayton’s expression was complicated, and he did not know what to say for a while.

    The next second, Nicole smiled sincerely and naturally. She relieved his embarrassment.

    “It’s fine. We’ve known each other for so long, so it’s natural that we use each other. How could I forget that you’ve always helped me?”

    Clayton suddenly looked up. Nicole’s smile was bright and perfect, and he could not see any anger from her expression at all.

    Her tone was gentle, and her eyes were sincere. “Don’t take it to heart. Eric isn’t my limit. Goodbye, Mr. Sloan.”

    Clayton visibly froze, his dark eyes gazing deeply at her back.

    Eric was not her limit, but it meant that he had tried to cross her limit.

    She was too sman:.

    Clayton instantly regretted that he overstepped his boundaries.

    It was not easy to gain a little trust from her, but he wore it away so easily.

    Clayton clenched his fingers until his knuckles turned white, and his expression also sank.

    Eric’s expression darkened visibly, and a coldness instantly spread around his body.

    He turned his head, his black eyes staring at Clayton.

    Eric looked at Clayton like he was looking at an opponent, alert and full of bloodlust.

    Clayton also saw Eric. His face froze faintly before he smiled warmly.

    “What a coincidence. You’re here too, Mr. Ferguson?”

    They had not seen each other since the last time Eric made some small moves online specifically targeting Clayton.

    Nicole looked at the aura of these two men and saw that something was off. She wondered why Clayton had suddenly appeared.

    Molly walked out from the end of the corridor leisurely and waved. “Has Mr. Sloan come to pick you up? He just called to ask me…”

    Oh, so it was Molly.

    Yannick did not expect this scene to happen in his gym. ’Did I just shoot myself in the foot?’ Yannick thought.

    Eric’s eyes were dark and deep, and the aura around him suddenly became chilly.

    Clayton Sloan was the person he wanted to get rid of. Nicole pursed her lips and walked over.

    “You haven’t left yet, Mr. Sloan?”

    “I wanted to wait for you to have dinner together…”

    Clayton smiled gently and casually took the bag from her hand.

    It was such a casual and thoughtful move as if he was a good man carrying his girlfriend’s bag.

    That scene pierced into Eric’s heart when he saw it. His breathing became slightly heavier.

    ’Did their relationship progress to this extent?’

    Nicole did not plan to agree to have dinner with him, but he had already taken the stuff from her hands. If she refused him in public, it would be the same as a slap to his face.

    She smiled and was just about to walk out when her wrist was pulled.

    The grip was extremely strong.

    Nicole looked over and saw Eric’s cold eyes and his handsome but gloomy face.

    His grip tightened and his gaze was dark and bloodthirsty.

    “What is your relationship with him?” 1

    Eric’s question came without warning as if he was anxious to know the truth.

    He knew very well that the truth was something he did not want to hear.

    His blood surged with rage as he looked at Clayton. His eyes were faintly tinged with darkness.

    Clayton’s aura was not as overbearing and cold as Eric’s, but his warmth and modesty made it so he was not disadvantaged at all.

    Clayton smiled calmly at the words.

    “I’m afraid you wouldn’t want to hear the answer, Mr. Ferguson.”

    Those words were undoubtedIy like an iron lid sliding into place.

    Clayton was not telling the truth, but he was not lying either. He was deliberately misleading Eric.

    Clayton watched as Eric lost his temper, composure, and rationality.

    How satisfying!

    Nicole raised her eyes in surprise. She looked at Clayton and opened her mouth, wanting to explain.

    However, she did not say anything.

    The atmosphere was stagnant and became cold. Some time passed.

    Nicole thought that Eric would do something irrational, but he slowly let go of her hand.

    She looked to the side. Eric’s face was cold as frost, and his pupils permeated with iciness.

    However, he withdrew his hand silently. His dark eyes gazed deeply and quietly at Nicole.

    His voice was so deep that it was raspy.

    Slowly, he said, “Blow dry your hair before you go. It’s too cold outside.”

    Nicole was speechless.

    Then, he took a deep look at Clayton and left the place. Yannick hurried Iy followed to send him off, not daring to be negligent.

    Nicole looked at his back. For some reason, she felt like her heart was pinched.

    There was a deep and vague prickling feeling in her heart as if needles were poking her chest.

    It was a very unpleasant feeling. What did he mean by that?

    Clayton also froze for a moment, his dark expression unreadable.

    To the side, Molly was not slow to react and took the towel handed over by the staff to wipe Nicole’s hair.

    ”It’s indeed quite cold outside.”

    Nicole’s face went white before it returned to normal.

    The coach held back his laughter to carry Yannick down, taking him to the side so he could rest. “The doctor will be here soon.”

    Then, he returned the phone to Yannick.

    That video was truly sensational. Nicole gave Yannick a chance by letting him have so many moves, but he still lost!

    The coach was much more professional. While sparring with her, he also left her plenty of room for improvement.

    This was what an opponent should be like! This was a real professional.

    Yannick looked at the two people sparring and gnashed his teeth. His tears almost fell.

    He did not know that Nicole was so amazing.

    Yannick took out his phone and recorded a short video. In i t, Nicole was cool and valiant. Her movements were like the wind, crisp, bright, and flamboyant. She looked too beautiful!

    He posted the video onto his social media platform where his old friends were.

    Soon, the video was forwarded to Eric.

    Eric stared at it for a while before he called Yannick without much thought.

    When Yannick saw the familiar number, he forgot all his pain and was so happy that he wanted to kiss his phone.

    He suppressed his excitement and answered the call.

    “Mr. Ferguson…”

    He used to call Eric “Ferg” as Keith did, but he could not do that now.

    Yannick would only have the nerve to do so if Eric allowed him to.

    “Did you take the video?”

    Eric’s voice was low and permeated with coldness.

    “Yes…”

    “Is she still there?” “Yes.”

    Yannick looked at Nicole, who had not noticed what was happening here.

    “Send me the address. Also… Delete the video.”

    Eric hung up after he finished speaking.

    He did not want Nicole to be seen by so many people.

    Eric wanted to be the only one to see such a beautiful Nicole.

    Yannick hurriedIy sent him the address and sighed in relief. It should not be too late to make amends!

    Less than half an hour later.

    Eric came.

    Nicole was covered in sweat as she walked down with the coach.

    It was clear that she had quite a lot of fun sparring. She was very satisfied and was in a good mood.

    It was also the coach’s first time meeting such an unpretentious girl. She was agile and athletic, and more importantly, she was beautiful.

    Even when he put a little more force in some of his moves, she did not utter a word of pain.

    Nicole was drinking water and just about to go take a shower when she suddenly saw Eric.

    Yannick held his dislocated arm and talked to Eric.

    Eric’s cold eyes just so happened to look over, which made Nicole frown.

    He really was like a ghost that haunted her.

    Eric ignored Yannick and walked over to her with his long legs.

    When Eric approached her, the coldness on his face was well hidden.

    Then, he carelessly glanced at the coach who was next to her.

    His voice was low and slow. “Why did you suddenly think of coming here?”

    Eric handed a towel over.

    Nicole originally did not want to answer, but the atmosphere was too stiff and seemed bizarre.

    “It was along the way from J&L Corporation.”

    Eric was not surprised. This place was indeed close to J&L Corporation. According to Nicole’s character, she would not go to an unfamiliar gym to exercise for no reason.

    Yannick said that she came with a female companion who had gone to the meditation room to meditate.

    Nicole glanced at Yannick and knew why Eric suddenly appeared here. ’Yannick must’ve made a lot of secret reports, huh?’

    Yannick dodged Nicole’s gaze and waited for them in the corner.

    Nicole looked away and said casually, ”I’m going to take a shower. You guys make yourselves comfortable.”

    Then, she simply left.

    She showered as fast as possible, changed her clothes, and came out in a hurry with her still-wet hair draped behind her.

    As soon as she came out, she saw Eric sitting somewhere not far away.

    Eric spoke to Yannick with a condescending posture, talking to him from high above.

    Yannick’s attitude was obviously too respectful. He was even more cautious than Eric’s subordinates.

    Seeing Nicole come out, Eric smiled and just stood up when he heard a man’s voice from the door.

    ”It’s almost time. Shall we go?” It was Clayton.

    Nicole was speechless. Spending tens of thousands to come to the gym just to meditate?

    Yannick finally reacted and gave an enthusiastic introduction.

    “This guru is an enlightened monk from the mountains, and his meditation experience is unparalleled in this world.

    There is no truth in this world that is impenetrable to him! You’re his first student!”

    Molly was very happy. She finally found a sweat-free sport!

    Immediately afterward, Yannick had someone send Molly to the “meditation room”.

    “What would you like to do, Ms. Stanton?”

    Yannick thought that she would choose light exercise like yoga that would not hurt her and also make her happy.

    Nicole hesitated for a moment. Since she was already here and the instructors were national-level champions, she should give it a try.

    “Taekwondo.”

    Yannick paused and looked at her. “Sure. You can change your clothes inside. I’ll practice with you later.”

    He gritted his teeth. The instructor for taekwondo was a world champion.

    If the instructor accidentally crippled Nicole, Yannick would not be able to bear the consequences.

    Thus, Yannick could only spar with her himself. At most, he would just let her win.

    Nicole looked at him with surprise but said nothing and went in to change her clothes.

    The high-end service of this gym was that everything was prepared for the customers. They would definitely not try to scrimp on anything.

    After all, the people who came here were extremely sophisticated high-end people, so it was impossible to fool them with poor clothes and tools.

    Nicole chose a gray sports suit. With her beautiful body and bright features, she attracted too much attention at a glance.

    However, she looked delicate and weak, as if just one punch was enough to kill her.

    She went to one side to run and warm up. Yannick changed his clothes and came out. Compared to her, his muscles looked like he would wipe the floor with her.

    The taekwondo coach said, “You’re going?”

    Yannick nodded and frowned tightly. He could not be too hard on her later because he would not be able to explain himself if she tried to fight him seriously.

    A porcelain doll-like little princess had to be coddled after all.

    Thee taekwondo coach said, “Why don’t you go and warm up.”

    Yannick shook his head. “Forget it. I’m afraid she’ll be overwhelmed if I warm up and hit her harder. Remember to record a video when I go up later…”

    He took out his phone and handed it over. The taekwondo coach was confused.

    Yannick had to record it. What if Nicole accidentally fell by herself and blamed it on him?

    The taekwondo coach observed Nicole’s professional movements as she warmed up. Although she looked slender and delicate, her actions were very proficient and up to standard.

    It did not look like she was not experienced.

    Just as the coach was about to tell Yannick to be careful, Nicole put on her gear and got on the platform.

    Yannick took a sip of water and walked over leisurely. Nicole looked at him, then at the coach not far away. “Are you sure you want to do this?”

    Yannick nodded. “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I’m no worse than the coach.”

    Nicole raised her brows. ’Well, he asked for it.’

    Yannick let Nicole make the first move. Nicole also did not hold back and swept a roundhouse kick at him.

    Yannick was startled by the strong wind, but fortunately, he dodged in time.

    Nicole’s moves were crisp and neat, not unnecessarily showy.

    However, under the flurry of blows, Yannick was struggling to hold his ground.

    In less than five minutes, Nicole dodged sideways and pinned his arm backward, taking the opportunity to trip him and press him down.

    With a crisp click, Yannick’s arm seemed to be dislocated. It was a complete and utter defeat.

    Nicole stood up in disdain and did not look at him. “Go down. Let the coach come.”

    Yannick looked quite strong, but his moves were like a weak chicken.

    If she had not held back a little to let him adapt, she could have thrown him down with her first move.

    Yannick’s face turned white in pain as his weak screams echoed in the hall. What a miserable man!

    In J&L Corporation, Molly Stewart had millions of dollars in annual salary. She also had bonuses and allowances, so she was not interested in money.

    Molly lowered her eyes and suddenly opened her arms and shouted, “I want to be famous!”

    Nicole blinked and curbed her smile. “This… Will be a little difficult.”

    It was also not as practical as making money.

    After Molly was done daydreaming, she dragged Nicole to her research room and introduced her to the gadgets she invented.

    It was true that scientists’ brains were different from normal people’s.

    A regular girl’s way to relax was shopping, eating, and more shopping.

    However, Molly’s way of relaxation was to do research.

    Nicole was afraid that Molly’s body would collapse, so she dragged Molly to the nearest gym to sweat it out and relax.

    They told Clayton about it and ran out.

    Molly was familiar with skipping work, so she must have frequently gone out of the office during work hours.

    She scrolled through her phone and said, “I heard of a new gym that just opened. Let’s go there…”

    Nicole did not object to it. If it was nearer to J&L Corporation, Molly could go over often.

    This gym was well decorated. Once they went inside,

    someone came over to greet them.

    Nicole swept a glance and saw a large advertisement board that read, “Annual membership: 850,000 non- negotiable. Pretty ladies: FREE!”

    The corners of Nicole’s lips twitched as she thought that this gym was a little shady.

    Molly looked at the sign on the side and was quite interested.

    She thought about it and took out her bank card. “I want the annual membership.”

    The receptionist was dozing off. He did not really expect to have business at this hour.

    He saw the gorgeous woman in front of him and was slightly stunned. This woman looked familiar.

    In a moment of hesitation, a surprised voice came from the side. “Nicole Stanton?”

    Nicole turned to the side and recognized the guy. He was Eric’s friend, Yannick Zabinski.

    She had a slight impression of the guy. Last time, when Nicole and Xander appeared in the same frame on the trending topics, everyone thought that Xander was Eric, but Yannick came out to clarify that it was not Eric and cleared his name.

    After that, Nicole did not see this person in the gentry circle again.

    It was quite a coincidence.

    When Yannick saw that it was really her, he ran over excitedly. “Nicole, is it really you?”

    He was so happy that Nicole felt a little surprised.

    “Mr. Zabinski?”

    Yannick rubbed his hands. He was really regretful of his behavior back then.

    He thought that he was doing something good for Eric, but he ended up ruining Eric’s chance to save Nicole. Eric was so mad that he withdrew all of Ferguson Corporation’s cooperation with the Zabinskis.

    In just a few months, the Zabinski family’s business declined, and everyone just added insult to injury.

    Even with that compensation money from the contract withdrawal, they did not have the opportunity to rise again.

    Yannick was ostracized from that circle.

    Due to that, Yannick used that money to open a gym, intending to break into that circle again and only receive rich people.

    Yannick smiled and came over. “Ms. Stanton, if you want to work out, you don’t need an annual membership. You can just come over anytime and use our facilities as you please.

    You’re always welcome here.”

    Nicole pulled the corners of her lips into a perfunctory and polite smile.

    “That won’t do. I’m here to accompany my friend.”

    Nicole looked at Molly, who did not care who the boss was.

    Yannick’s eyes flickered. He walked over and instructed the receptionist, “Since it’s Ms. Stanton’s friend, we’ll offer a 40% discount.”

    The receptionist nodded and answered.

    Nicole thanked him and did not intend to be so clear-cut for this small amount of money. Yannick did not lack this money anyway, and he was just trying to please her. She was clear about this.

    “So, what do you two ladies want to try out? Running? Yoga? Our teachers here are all national professional teachers and are highly paid.

    We emphasize quality over quantity.”

    Nicole looked at Molly, who pointed to one of the items and said, “I want to learn to meditate! I won’t need to move and just sit there.”

    For a moment, everyone fell silent.

    Molly froze and immediately shook her head. “Absolutely not!”

    Nicole could finally rest assured.

    She smiled and took a sip of coffee. The few of them changed their clothes and went to the core research lab.

    Clayton and Logan were very involved in the tour. In fact, they could just look at the data on the report, but the site visit was more impactful.

    Molly introduced the latest progress in the front.

    “In fact, our focus is on intelligent living, not only on the scope of smart home devices, but also in the decor and design, like maintaining the temperature and humidity throughout the year, waterproofing, and fire extinguishing. Of course, the most difficult thing to control is the change of human emotions. We have now completed the detection of human emotions, so the indoor space can be converted based on happiness, anger, sadness, or any subtle mood changes. We have applied the latest medical research to this.

    The artificial intelligence chip will automatically detect human health conditions and conduct a daily medical checkup without leaving the comfort of one’s home. It can also respond to emergencies anytime and anywhere.”

    Molly’s words made Clayton’s eyes lit up. This progress was certainly more rapid than he imagined.

    There were two huge labs in front. Molly reached out and said, ”You can go in and experience it.”

    Clayton nodded and went in without much thought. Logan hesitated a bit and followed inside.

    Nicole stood outside. Molly looked at her. “Nikki, you’re not going?”

    Nicole shook her head. “The things in the lab are naturally the best, but it must be really cutting-edge technology to be applied to everyday life. Later, help me to set up one in my house.”

    Molly was speechless.

    She silently turned around. Through the glass, she saw Clayton standing upright in the lab. His side profile was so handsome, and he had a sense of nobility.

    Molly shook her head and could not help but compliment him.

    “Mr. Sloan really looks better by the day. He’s good-looking and has a nice body. His waist is so lean, and more importantly, his legs are so long…”

    Nicole froze for a moment and looked strangely at Molly, who was immersed in nymphomania.

    “Molly, my second brother is also quite decent…” Molly frowned. “I can’t see him right now.”

    Thus, she could only admire other men in a dignified manner.

    Nicole helplessly shook her head. ’Forget it, Molly has always been like this…’

    Molly gently bumped Nicole with her shoulder and squinted her eyes with a smile.

    “Nikki, will your heart flutter when you spend all day with such a good-looking person? Isn’t the feeling of an accelerated heartbeat very hard to endure?”

    Nicole was silent for a while and corrected Molly.

    “We’re not always together, and my heart didn’t beat any faster.”

    “How is that possible?!”

    Molly did not believe there were hormones that a handsome man could not excite.

    Nicole added. “Only the fluctuation of the stock market can make my heart beat faster.”

    In other words, Nicole only cared about making money.

    Molly looked at Nicole and blinked. No wonder when Molly was wondering what birthday gift Maverick usually gave his little sister, Maverick did not hesitate to say, “I prepared a bank card for her.”

    With a bank card, what else could she not buy?

    Molly thought that someone as high-spirited as Nicole would be speechless when she saw Maverick’s tacky gift.

    She did not think Maverick was actually just giving Nicole what she liked most.

    Now, Molly was convinced that Nicole’s taste was very much like commoners.

    Nicole mentioned the topic with great interest. She grabbed Molly’s hand and said, “Do you want to make money too? I can introduce you to stocks, or liquid and non -liquid assets. I can give you all kinds of recommendations!”

    Molly gulped. She fully believed that Nicole truly wanted to take her on the path of wealth and prosperity, but she was not that ambitious.

    Nicole was silent and thought about it for a moment.

    “My company’s lawyer hasn’t arrived yet and will be delayed on the road. Let’s make an appointment some other time.”

    Since the matter came to this point, signing the contract was not so important anymore.

    With that, Nicole simply turned around and left.

    Clayton nodded slightly and followed behind Nicole. He completely avoided the gaze of the couple behind her.

    Inside the elevator, Nicole’s face sank.

    “Mr. Sloan, who do you think is lying?”

    Clayton did not know what Yuliana said, but he saw her running out with the child in her arms earlier.

    He recognized Yuliana from the celebration party.

    Clayton narrowed his eyes and hesitated for a few seconds. He said with certainty, “They’re all lying.”

    Nicole looked at him in surprise. Clayton smiled faintly and swept away the panic and intense feeling that Nicole felt earlier.

    It was like fine spring rain that made her relax.

    Nicole also smiled.

    The elevator arrived at the lobby. Only Logan was left waiting there. “Where’s Yuliana?”

    Logan said, “She ran away. I couldn’t stop her.”

    Yuliana did not even say a word of thanks, but Nicole did not care.

    Logan looked at Clayton and nodded. “Thank you, Mr.

    Sloan.”

    Nicole was suspicious.

    Clayton smiled warmly and explained, “I was just here discussing some business and happened to pass by, so Logan asked me to go up to help out…”

    No wonder.

    Clayton had saved her twice, so Nicole felt bad if she did not treat Clayton to a meal.

    Nicole proposed. “Let’s eat together?”

    Clayton nodded. There was no reason to refuse.

    “Sure.”

    On the way, Nicole called Grant and told him about Andrew’s situation.

    Grant did not know much about Andrew as a person either because they only had a cooperative relationship.

    After Grant heard the story, he was silent for a moment. ” You did the right thing. Don’t sign the contract until things are clear.”

    Too many bosses with corrupt moral character caused the demise of their businesses because of certain things.

    Not to mention, this even concerned Yuliana, a public figure, as well as abuse, which was a vile behavior that would make anyone infuriated.

    Although there were some social interactions in the mall that one needed to suit the other party’s liking, there were some things that could not be tolerated because it would implicate the company’s image. They could not risk it.

    Clayton chose a restaurant with a quiet atmosphere.

    Logan ate with them. The meal was calm and pleasant, and not at all awkward.

    After the meal, Clayton proposed to go to J&L Corporation to check on the closing work of the project.

    Nicole had wanted to take time to go and see it, so she gladly agreed.

    Gerard Lichman had something to do, so Molly Stewart accompanied them instead.

    Molly knew more about the progress of the research, so she was brief and concise in her presentation.

    Nicole was holding a cup of coffee when she saw Molly jumping over to her. Nicole hurriedIy dodged her. “Molly, calm down!”

    Molly immediately stopped. “I haven’t seen anyone outside the company for a long time!”

    Nicole frowned. “You didn’t get a break?”

    Molly glanced at Clayton, then nodded and greeted him before she walked forward tugging Nicole’s arm.

    “Don’t mention it. Mr. Ferguson dug up a few god-level geniuses from Denmark. Everyone’s still getting to know each other. They’re so hardworking, so of course, we can’t lag behind. It’s a matter of national dignity!”

    Molly even raised a small fist. Nicole could not help but laugh, but she looked at Molly sympathetically.

    “It’s been a long time since you’ve seen my second brother, right?”

    Molly was embarrassed and looked left and right. ”Yeah! The Great God Maverick has a confidential national research project in his hand, so he’s much busier than me.”

    Nicole heard Maverick mention that he would be in a closed study and would not show up in at least two months.

    However, Nicole still felt sorry for Molly.

    She grabbed Molly’s hand, pursed her lips, and begged pitifully.

    “Molly, you can’t dump him because of your infrequent meetups!”

    In the next second, a strong force tugged on Nicole’s arm and yanked Nicole to the side.

    Instantly, there was a sound of a vase shattering, and the pieces landed right where Nicole was standing earlier.

    Nicole then crashed into a clean, warm, and sturdy embrace.

    It felt somewhat familiar. “Mr. Sloan?”

    Nicole was surprised at why Clayton would appear here?

    In the next second, Clayton dragged her behind him. His gaze swept harshly over the woman who chased after Nicole.

    The woman wanted to chase after Nicole again, but when she saw Clayton, who was behind Nicole, her body froze in place.

    She also recognized Nicole at that time. The woman’s face turned pale.

    She did not dare to make another rash move.

    Andrew Zeno, who heard the commotion, rushed over and was visibly startled.

    “What’s going on here?”

    The woman went over with a displeased face. “That b”tch snatched the child away…”

    Andrew was shocked. ’two people can’t even watch a child? You guys…”

    He was aware that there were outsiders here, so he did not say any harsh words. He turned to the side and looked at Nicole and Clayton, slightly surprised.

    “President Nicole, why are you here?”

    “Ms. Stanton helped that b”tch to take away the child!” The woman could not wait to speak.

    Andrew’s face changed slightly.

    His eyes when he looked at Nicole had more wariness and dissatisfaction.

    “Ms. Stanton, may I ask why?”

    Did she have to mess up their good cooperation?

    Nicole thought about it. If this was true, then she was willing to lose this cooperation to save a child. Moreover, it was inherently risky to cooperate with such morally indecent people.

    If it was not true, Nicole would at most learn a lesson from this and get Grant to clean up the mess.

    Anyway, Nicole had the power to do so.

    Nicole looked at them and came out from behind Clayton.

    ”That’s Yuliana’s child. She begged me for help, so there’s no reason for me to not come to her rescue in her moment of need.

    Andrew took a deep breath and suppressed the twitching of his facial muscles.

    “That’s also my child! She repeatedly abused the child, so I just want the child to live a normal life. Is that so wrong?”

    Nicole was shaken. Why did both of them say the same thing?

    Andrew asked, “Did that crazy woman say that I abused the child? She’s crazy and mentally unsound! She’s acting all day long, so her brain is fried. She hides the child away all day and brings the child to various men’s houses. She’s the most terrible woman!”

    Nicole was heckled by Andrew, and she did not know how to react. ’Did I do something wrong?’

    Clayton was a lot calmer.

    He went over and took Nicole’s hand, then said in a deep and cold voice, “In that case, I think it’s better to call the police. Nicole had good intentions. If she accidentally helped the perpetrator, we’re willing to compensate and apologize for any losses.”

    Nicole turned to the side. When she heard Clayton’s words, she was confident.

    ’That’s right! If there’s anything, we can still call the police!’ Nicole thought.

    Andrew’s face was pale. Just as he was about to speak, the woman could not hold back.

    “No, why should we involve the police? We can solve our own family matters, so why should the family scandal be publicized?”

    The woman tugged on Andrew’s clothes. “Hubby, say something…”

    Nicole heard this address and raised her eyebrows.

    Something was off about it. Who was the liar here?

    The woman had called Yuliana a “b”tch”, but she wanted to snatch Yuliana’s child?

    According to logic, the woman should want Yuliana and the child to leave, the further the better so that they were out of sight and out of mind.

    Andrew wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead to calm himself down.

    “Forget it. There’s no need to make a big deal out of this since it’s a scandal. We’ll solve it ourselves.”

    Andrew then looked at Nicole and said, “President Nicole, let’s just go down and sign the contract…”
