Old Master Carter paced around them twice and smiled.“Good. Nicole, you have a good eye! Mr. Sloan is a talented man with outstanding abilities. Your father must be overjoyed, right?”Nicole’s lips twitched as she remained silent, letting this topic slide in jest.If her father were to know, he might die of anger.Overjoyed?Nicole did not dare to entertain the thought.Old Master Carter was clearly interested in Clayton.He pulled Clayton and chatted with him for a while before letting them leave.Nicole did not want to socialize since she felt that it was too annoying. After a few people came to exchange pleasantries with her, she made excuses to run away.Clayton was left there to helplessly take over everyone’s greetings.Yvette popped up from somewhere and went over with a grin.“You left Mr. Sloan behind? I heard that everyone is very interested in him, but those who want to build connections with him can’t find a way to.”Nicole pursed her lips. “Whatever. Let him d

Eric stood up, frowned, and turned to leave.Ann suddenly took a step ahead of him and tried to support his arm.However, he flung her away.Ann refused to give up and went up again, but she was pushed away again.It happened several times until Eric became annoyed. He turned his head to say something. Ann stood where she was, and her expression turned glum.......At the railing on the second floor.Nicole and Yvette watched the scene.Nicole did not say anything, as if she was deep in thought.Yvette could not hold back and blurted out the words in her heart.“Do they know each other? It looks like Eric didn’t mistake her for you, but he’s not familiar with her either. It looks like they know each other, at least.”Even after a long time, there was no answer.Yvette looked at Nicole.Nicole was speechless. “Do you think I could possibly know?”Yvette said, “That’s true. Even Eric’s marriage was hidden. How would he tell you that?”Everyone knew that marriage was absurd

Nicole calmed down and subconsciously stepped on the gas pedal, picking up speed.“Don’t worry, I’ll be right there. Just make sure she’s safe.”Julie said a few words and quickly hung up. She could not be distracted.Nicole hurriedly turned the corner and chose an alley to take a shortcut.In less than fifteen minutes, Nicole arrived downstairs at Yvette’s house.It was the apartment where she now lived with Sean.Nicole looked upstairs. She should not be back yet.Looking down at the time, Nicole was just about to send a message to Clayton when two cars drove in one after another.It was a quiet and upscale neighborhood, and almost all of them were detached buildings.Thus, others did not notice what was going on here.Yvette soon got out of the car in a fury and was about to run in.Nicole hurriedly got out and stopped her.“Yvette!”Yvette froze and looked back at her.“Why are you here?”Nicole was helpless. It seemed like Yvette did not see her at all.Julie caugh

Julie went to find three cups, and the three ladies sat down on the carpet, each person holding a glass.Yvette’s tears could not stop flowing down her face.“Do you know who went this evening?”Julie shook her head. “I didn’t pay attention. Was it someone Sean knew?”Nicole recalled, “Who was the girl beside Sean?”Yvette’s tears flowed even harder.She sniffled and wiped her face.“She’s his wife’s younger sister. She grew up in their house. When I was toasting with Sean, she ran over and saw me. Do you know what she said?”Yvette sneered with sullen hatred in her eyes.“A vixen?”Yvette laughed. “It doesn’t matter if she calls me a vixen. Before I could say anything, Sean told me not to bother with a child. What the f*ck? A seventeen-year-old is considered a child? If it were in the past, someone her age could already have a few kids of their own. Is their family retarded?”Nicole felt uncomfortable.Yvette did not stop and continued to speak.“That’s fine, but do you k

Clayton sneered in his heart.Those good words about him were because he could show a side of himself that he wanted others to see.He did not say those words himself, so he would not admit it.Ann’s smile became completely strained.She looked at him with a cold gaze.“Fine, then I’ll get to the point. Mr. Sloan, why don’t we make a deal?”Clayton looked at her silently.......In Nicole’s home.Yvette drank cup after cup, cursing as she drank and venting out all her aggression and resentment.When she drank until she vomited, Nicole and Julie helped her to the bathroom to wash up, then took her to the bed to rest.The two of them also drank a lot, but at least they were still conscious.Julie looked at the time. It was almost 10:00 pm.“I have to go back.”Nicole held her forehead. “It’s already so late. Just stay the night before leaving.”Julie shook her head. “I can’t. I have a flight to Milan early tomorrow morning. I have a very important show.”Then, she walked
