Nicole was still in Erethea when she received the invitation to this auction.Grant wanted to make her happy, so he asked her to participate in such activities more often.Although she did not have an extra invitation, she did not need one to enter and only needed to show her face.Thus, Nicole gave Luke the invitation as soon as she got home.A few days later, the auction went ahead as scheduled.Nicole and Clayton went together. She wore a beige dress that made her look like an effortless beauty. Her waist also looked very slim in the dress.The highlight of this dress was that it was backless, which showed off Nicole’s beautiful and delicate back.Many guests who attended went to greet Nicole, and Nicole nodded in response.Meanwhile, Clayton had been standing behind Nicole and did not even take one step away from her.Clayton was deliberately trying to block others from seeing Nicole’s bare back.If he had known that Nicole wore such a sexy and beautiful dress, he would h

Nicole watched Luke quietly for a few seconds.Under bright lights, Luke’s eyes were glimmering, as if he had the urge to break through the limits.It was the kind of youthful struggle that any self-made man would have.Nicole smiled.“Continue.”“I plan to change our research to focus on aerospace. Although there are many monopolies in the aerospace field, it’s the most extensive and lenient in terms of technological design. Our research results overlap with the aerospace field to some extent, so we’ll still be able to make it if we change direction now.”Luke said excitedly.Nicole was silent as she fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist.“So, do you have a plan?”“I had a few conversations with the people from Aerospace Corporation just now and noticed that they were unsure about the frequency of accidents in the current field. Although our technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, in some respects, Liberty’s technology is more refined and better than ours. Since we have

Clayton paused for a moment.His face turned dark as he looked at Nicole.Clayton was not stupid and knew that Nicole was implying something.After pondering for half a second, he said in a light voice, “I don’t know.”Nicole smiled and nudged his shoulder.“What would you do if it were you? Tina wants a divorce, and she has evidence of his affairs, so Zach will most likely end up with nothing. His company isn’t doing very well. Once there is a financial problem, it’s very likely that he has to declare bankruptcy. Getting a divorce now won’t benefit him at all. He definitely knows this. Zach suddenly fell into this dilemma. So, if you were in his situation, what would you do?”Nicole was curious what Clayton would do if he was in Zach’s shoes.Clayton seemed to know what Nicole was thinking and smiled helplessly.He sighed and somewhat regretted standing here.It was simply an unexpected disaster.“Baby, I’ll never become such a scumbag. There are no what-ifs in this world. I

In an instant, Cheryl froze in place.She suddenly understood all of Eric’s abnormal behavior tonight.Eric bid a sky-high price for that raw diamond not because of Chery’s passing compliment, but because he wanted to give the best things to Nicole, even when Nicole was already married to someone else!Thus, when Nicole offered a price, Eric immediately stopped bidding.Was it because he was afraid that Nicole would spend more money, or because he was afraid that Nicole would get angry?Cheryl could not imagine what was the relationship between Eric and Nicole.Thinking of this, Cheryl immediately called Gerard.Her tone was restrained and calm.“Brother, what’s the relationship between Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Stanton?”Gerard was silent. “You just returned to Mediania, so you don’t know what happened between them. Anyway, don’t harbor any thoughts about him.”After speaking, Gerard hung up the phone.Cheryl stood there in a trance when Eric’s driver came over and asked her, “M

Before Nicole could speak, Tina broke down in tears. She gritted her teeth and put out a tempting offer.“I don’t have any friends. If you come over and accompany me, I’ll sell you the shares of Zach’s company that I’ll get from the divorce!”Tina knew that Nicole did not have a deep friendship with her.Nicole would not come if Tina did not offer any benefits.Sure enough, Nicole got out of bed and got dressed while she answered the phone in a polite voice, “How silly of you. As a woman, I can understand how you feel, really…”Nicole did not dress too lavishly. She chose a low-key beige long dress with a matching thin cardigan and went out the door.When she arrived at Tina’s house, she was stunned to see the extravagant style that was typical of a parvenu.The house was so densely packed that there was no room for her to walk around.Nicole looked closely and saw piles of cash on the table.There was also a lot of gold jewelry.Tina welcomed Nicole. Her eyes were red, and s
