Ch. 1101..1110

The sound of screaming, muffled grunts, and cursing in pain intertwined. At that moment, it was unclear whether Isaac was cursing Clayton or begging for mercy.

Yvette watched the show for a while before she got bored.

“Isaac doesn't even know how to fight. How can he be so arrogant?“

At least in their circle, every rich kid knew at least a trick or two.

Whether it was to pick up girls or for self-defense, neither were neglected.

Nicole laughed. “Isaac grew up with bodyguards following him, so there was no need for martial arts.“

Yvette snorted. “So, now he'll just get beaten up.“

Nicole put away her smile and looked at Clayton, who was sitting on Isaac.

Clayton 's usually gentle and elegant demeanor was no longer visible. He looked like a long-dormant beast that was subduing its prey.

His eyes were scarlet and cold without the faintest ripple of emotion.

This side of Clayton Sloan was unfamiliar. It made Nicole's heart ache.

Although Isaac and Clayton were both from the Sloan family, the pampered Isaac had no fighting skills at all because he was so well protected.

It was clear at a glance that Isaac was coddled. However, what about Clayton?

Clayton 's moves were skillfu1, and his strength was ruthless. It was hard to believe that Clayton did not practice those skills through real-life experiences.

At that thought, Nicole stopped feeling admiration for it.

Her chest felt suffocated.

After a long time, Isaac lost the strength to resist. Isaac collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mush. He was not responsive.

His face was bruised and bloodied.

Clayton mechanically flung his fist at Isaac. Nicole could not help but walk forward. “That's enough…“

Her words made Clayton stop in his movements.

Clayton looked up. The stern darkness in his eyes had not faded away yet.

Nicole pulled Clayton's hand over and rubbed his fist where his skin had split open. There was a sourness in her heart.

“That's enough. If you're satisfied, we should go back early.“

Clayton paused for several seconds.

Only then did he get up from Isaac's body. “Did I scare you?“

Clayton's voice was low with a slight tremble as he looked at her cautiously.

Nicole smiled and held his hand.

“Your hand must hurt. I'll put some medicine on it when we get back.“

She was only afraid that Clayton would recklessly hurt himself.

Clayton smiled. The grimness on his face gradually faded away, and a warm smile surfaced.

To the side, Yvette clicked her tongue. Was Clayton the pitiful one here?

She gave a sympathetic glance at Isaac on the ground. He was beaten to a pulp, hanging onto his life, but no one cared about him. It was both pitiful and ridiculous.

Yvette waved her hand and let them go back on their “I plan on going somewhere else, so I won't go back with you guys. Bye!“

Nicole smiled and nodded. She looked at Clayton.“

Let's go?“

Clayton nodded.

The exit was on the other side. Clayton paused in his steps when they passed by Isaac.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Isaac like he was a piece of garbage.

“I locked you up once, and I can lock you up again. You should remember how you lived during those days.“

His voice was low. it made Isaac's skin crawl.

Isaac played dead and did not move a muscle, but his mind was filled with images of those days.

As soon as he woke up, Isaac found that he was in a dilapidated factory that was in a horrible state. It was dark, damp, and eerie.

Isaac thought that Clayton would send someone to watch him, so he did not attempt to escape.

He waited for Clayton to come over and negotiate with him.

However, a few days passed, and no one came.

Isaac was so hungry that he could only eat bread and instant noodles that had long expired and grown moldy.

On the seventh day, someone found him. Isaac would never forget the complex and shocked gaze of Eric and Quavon when they stood in front of him.

Read Chapter 1102 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Quavon said, “Clayton didn't even let anyone watch you. Even if the front door was locked, the door on the second floor could be opened. Was it so difficult to jump out and ask for help?“

Isaac would not die by jumping off the second floor.

He clearly had many opportunities to escape, but he did not.

Isaac just stubbornly ate moldy bread and waited for someone to rescue him.

It was ridiculous.

Clayton did not waste any energy on Isaac. However, Isaac one-sidedly thought that Clayton deliberately locked him up there to kill him.

Isaac plotted Clayton 's death countless times and resented him.

What was the result?

Isaac did not leave, but not because he was unable to.

This incident was simply the greatest shame of his life!

It was because of this matter that Quavon forbade him to retaliate against Clayton.

Clayton did not consider Isaac an opponent at all.

Back at the apartment, Nicole wanted to see Clayton go in first, but Clayton insisted on seeing her go in.

The two of them struggled for a long time, neither entering the door.

In the end, they exchanged a smile, and Clayton pushed her inside.

“Go back and rest early.“

Nicole smiled. “I'll watch you go.“ Clayton was speechless.

He smiled and reached out to take her hand. “How about you come up with me?“

Nicole drew her hand back. “Go up by yourself!“

Clayton smiled helplessly, lowered his head, and rubbed her palms. Then, he suddenly pulled her into his embrace.

Nicole wrapped her arms around his waist, feeling his blazing body warmth, and suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

She was not worried when he fought earlier. However, now, she felt her heart ache.

How could the past be so easily wiped clean? Her heart ached for him. She was heartbroken. It was a while before he gradually let her go.

His eyes were dark, and his voice was hoarse.

“Go on in.“

Nicole nodded. She also noticed the change in his body and could not stay any longer, so she immediately ran inside and closed the door.

She let out a deep breath.

Nicole did not reject a more intimate relationship. She just was not used to it.

The night was dark. It was slightly cold.

Quavon and Isaac brought gifts to the Stanton Mansion but were politely turned away by Floyd.

For several times in a row, Quavon was faced with a closed door.

He realized Floyd's attitude.

Isaac was furious. When was the Sloan family ever disrespected like that?

Floyd was looking down on them too much.

“It must be Nicole! Floyd is making things so stiff. Doesn't he have any intention to cooperate with us?“

Quavon looked at him and spoke in a light tone.

“After coming to Mediania for so long, only the Stanton family hasn't sent anyone to make an appointment with us. You should be able to see their attitude.“

Isaac gritted his teeth. “They're too arrogant. Even Eric Ferguson had to respect us. Who does the Stanton family think they are?“

Quavon said, “Mr. Ferguson did that because he had a purpose, but the Stanton family isn't interested. That's why I think you should give up on Nicole!“

“No. If Clayton can have her, why can't I?“

Isaac refused flatly. The possessiveness in his bones made it so he had to obtain Nicole.

Quavon frowned.

“Clayton won't get his wishes. They might be able to date normally, but it won't go smoothly if he wants t o get married. It doesn't matter how much money Clayton makes. The Stanton family wouldn't accept someone without any background."

Nowadays, marriage alliances were all about connections, resources, and long-term interests.

Money was of no use.

There were many wealthy people, but marriage alliances between affluent families were never about who had more money.

The complexity of the family background, an extensive network of resources, and the involvement of the interests of all parties were the key to the consolidation of a marriage alliance.

What about Clayton?

Read Chapter 1103 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Clayton was rich and talented.

However, after he left the Sloan family, he lost those advantages.

Did Clayton want to marry Nicole? Absolutely impossible!

Quavon was an experienced person and knew this better than anyone.

Isaac's expression eased, but his heart was still furious.

“Then we should seize the opportunity! Nicole doesn't have a good impression of me. We can't let Clayton take this chance.“

“We can't even get into the Stanton Mansion. What's the use of being anxious?“

Quavon was a little annoyed.

Isaac was quite clever at first, but in recent years, he became a little unreasonable in the Sloan family.

Isaac's face changed.

He looked at Quavon with somewhat complex eyes.

“Brother, you don't think that since Clayton is your son, he'll be of help to the Sloan family just the same if he marries Nicole, right?“

He said the word “brother“ through gritted teeth. Quavon 's face changed slightly, and his gaze darkened as he looked at Isaac. “What are you saying?“

His eyes were tinged with a trace of anger. Was he not biased enough?

Isaac's recent actions really disappointed him.

He fought against Clayton at every chance and disgraced himself at every turn.

Isaac glared at Quavon. His eyes were sharp and filled with forbearance.

“ Clayton is also part of the Sloan family, as well as your biological son. He also personally raised your grandson, Michael. Don't you want to acknowledge him back?“

Quavon did not speak and silently looked at Isaac.

Isaac grew even angrier, thinking that he had grasped Quavon's innermost thoughts.

“Clayton has made quite a prestigious name for himself. Are you regretting that you handed over the Sloan family to me in the first place?“

Quavon glared at him. “Isaac Sloan, remember your identity!“

He was warning Isaac.

Every time Isaac got into trouble, Quavon was the one who stepped in to set things right.

Isaac was used to it.

However, Isaac could not accept it. What if Quavon gave up on him?

Isaac sneered as something sinister emerged in his eyes.

“Identity? What identity? Brother, I'm just reminding you that you handed the Sloan family to me, so you can't regret it. No matter who Clayton is and whether or not he's your biological son, you have to stand on my side!“

Isaac shouted hysterically, somewhat out of control.

“The Sloan family is mine. Nicole Stanton will also be mine. Who does Clayton think he is? Who is he to compete with me?!“

Quavon looked at Isaac with gloomy eyes. “Haven't I always been on your side? What do you have to fight for? Just do your part. Holding up the Sloan family is what you should do, not staring at Clayton all day long!“

Quavon finished shouting with some disappointment in his eyes.

He always had high hopes for Isaac.

Even though the board of directors had repeatedly asked Clayton and Michael to join, Quavon had outrightly rejected them.

Quavon did not want to leave any problems for the future.

Was he not biased enough?

Isaac's eyes were bloodshot. He held himself back and clenched his fists tightly.

“Fine, I won't focus on Clayton. I want Nicole. I want to be the son-in-law of the Stanton family!“

Isaac's demand was straightforward.

Isaac wanted to let Clayton see that the woman he was pursuing would end up by his side.

The difference between Isaac and Clayton was not only their origins, but also their strength.

The woman Clayton had his eyes on would never be his.

Quavon looked at Isaac silently for half a minute and left without saying a word.

A malicious light flashed in Isaac's eyes. He had to obtain Nicole.

He wanted to make Clayton feel as if he was better off dead.

Outside the door.

The two people who were waiting quietly heard all this, and their faces were cold and solemn.

The tall and straight man stood there with a chill emanating from his body. He had a bitter aura that kept strangers away from him.

It was none other than Eric Ferguson.

Read Chapter 1104 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Mitchell stood by the side silently.

Eric had been in a good mood when he came, but in less than one minute, he was shrouded in a dense chill.

The Sloan family was really capable. The secretary ran over in a panic.

“I'm sorry for making you wait, Mr. Ferguson. Please come in…“

Eric's complexion recovered quickly. He followed the secretary into Quavon's office with a powerful aura around him.

Quavon immediately stood up to greet Eric.

“Welcome, Mr. Ferguson. I didn't expect something to come up and delay our appointment. My apologies.“

Eric nodded with an indifferent face.

“Chairman Sloan, congratulations on Isaac's freedom. He must be very busy now.“

"He's fine. Isaac is still young, so he's not as earnest as others. He still needs time to hone his skills.“

Eric raised his eyes expressionlessly. His tone was cold.

“Is everything ready?“

Quavon nodded hurriedly.

“Yes, Sloan Corporation intends to place its first property in Atlanta. Construction has already started. The agreement between Ferguson

Corporation and our company has also been drawn up. Please take a look, Mr. Ferguson.“

Although Quavon 's age and seniority were apparent, he was unable to put on airs in front of Eric.

Eric's overbearing aura was impossible to ignore. Even Quavon subconsciously fell behind and had to act according to Eric's cues.

Eric looked at the contract placed in front of him, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He suddenly changed his mind.

The Sloan family was a juicy piece of meat, but he did not want it anymore.

Suddenly, he raised his head.

“There's no rush to sign the contract. It's better to wait until your company is settled here. I heard that the land has already been bought?“

Quavon nodded excitedly.

“Yes, everything is progressing very smoothly, and the dust will settle in less than half a year. When that time comes, I'll have to trouble Mr. Ferguson to come over and give me some pointers.“

“I wouldn 't dare.“ Eric smiled faintly.

He stood up again. “It's getting late. Since you're still busy, I won't bother you.“

Then, Eric straightened his suit, swept his gaze over Quavon, and headed out.

Quavon quickly followed to send him off. When he came back, he looked puzzled.

Isaac's expression was unpleasant. “Did Eric come to sign the contract?“

Quavon was silent and shook his head.

“I also thought that he was here to sign it, but it seems like he's not too interested in it. I can't figure him out.“

“Hah! It's better if he doesn't sign. There are tons of people who want to nibble on the fat meat that's the Sloan family. Since he missed this offer, he'll never get the chance again.“

Quavon was somewhat dissatisfied by Isaac's frivolous attitude.

“A loose tongue will cause all sorts of troubles. You know that it was all thanks to Eric's efforts that you were found. His power in Atlanta can't be underestimated. You'd better watch your attitude. We have to learn to keep a low profile in other people's territory!“

Isaac did not think so and chuckled.

“I think you're just being too cautious. In Liberty, the Sloan family can even come and go to the President's house at will. What's the big deal with a small city like Atlanta?“

Quavon glared at him. He was about to say something, but then he closed his mouth.

Forget it. It was a waste of breath to talk to Isaac about this.

Fortunately, he would be returning to Liberty in a few days.

“The approval procedures here are a bit troublesome and we have to go through many departments of inspection and review, but I've already asked around and there shouldn't be a problem. For now, we'll first transfer part of the business here…"

Quavon chattered on and on about his plan, but Isaac did not listen to it at all.

Ferguson Corporation.

Mitchell was a little confused. Eric had originally gone to sign the contract, so why did he change his mind at the last moment?

Perhaps it had something to do with what Isaac said. Even Isaac had started to set his eyes on Nicole.

Isaac really did not know his place. Eric sat in his chair with a cold face.

“Has Sloan Corporation's registration data been sent to the relevant departments?“

Mitchell nodded.

“Yes, I heard that the preparations have already started, and the soonest they'll get the permit is in half a year. During this period, they probably won't give up and will do a lot of preliminary preparations.“

Eric's gaze was sullen and cold as he snorted lightly.

“Dream on!“

Mitchell raised his eyes cautiously and looked at Eric. “President, are we not going to sign with them?“

Eric's face was expressionless, and he spoke in a cold voice.

“No. They won't be able to spread their roots smoothly anyway, and I don't plan on letting them dO SO.”

Mitchell secretly sighed in his heart. It seemed that Isaac's words had really offended Eric a lot.

He even stopped caring about the meat that was delivered right to his mouth. Now, Eric wanted them to bleed heavily.

“Then shall I go talk to the relevant departments?“ Eric lowered his head and let out a faint “mm“.

Then, he pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes.

“Don't go too far with it. We still have to let them have a sliver of hope so that they'll willingly jump in.“

It was best to attack in one fell swoop.

Mitchell nodded, understanding what Eric meant. He wanted to dig a hole before burying them.

Stanton Corporation.

Grant and Nicole finished their meeting and came out together.

Just before going back to the office, Grant called her. “Lil N, come to my office for a moment.“

Nicole paused and followed him.

Grant's office style leaned towards a calm, simple, and modern look. It was slightly similar to Floyd 's style.

Grant sat on the chair and took out an envelope from the drawer.

“Here.“

Nicole walked over and opened it. It was an invitation letter.

Taking a closer look, the sender was from Camron Dudley. It was from the Dudley family.

Ava York's biological father, Camron Dudley.

She frowned.

Grant pursed his lips and spoke in a clear voice. “The invitation was sent to me, but the person sending it said that it was for you. Uncle Camron has a good relationship with Dad, so it'll be disrespectful if you simply don't go. It'll be disrespectful to the elder.“

Nicole frowned. “This is clearly a party with an ulterior motive. Why should I go join the fun?“

“It's probably that Camron wants to take the opportunity to repair the relationship between you and Ava York. No matter what the result is, I still suggest you go.“

Grant pondered for a moment. “Otherwise, tell Dad to go with you.“

Nicole wrinkled her brows. She really did not want to waste her time on someone like Ava.

However, it was very important to show respect to Uncle Camron.

She sighed. “Forget it. I '11 ask Yvette to come with me. They will at least be more restrained if an outsider is present.“

Grant frowned slightly but finally nodded. “Alright."

He raised his head to look at Nicole. “I heard that the cooperation between Ferguson Corporation and Sloan Corporation failed. Did you know about this? "

Nicole shook her head, bewildered.

“How would I know? I'm not as well-informed as you are!"

Grant paused. “It seems like Logan has been getting lazy lately."

Nicole waved her hand. “It's information that doesn't matter. What's the point of knowing about that?"

Grant choked and looked at her calmly.

“Lil N, the brain is very useful. You have to carry it with you at all times!"

Nicole stiffened and rolled her eyes at him.

“Big Brother, if you say anything more, why don't you go with me instead?"

Read Chapter 1106 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Grant stiffened and immediately shook his head.

“I'm going to watch a movie with your sister-in-law tonight. I'm not free!“

Nicole was speechless. Back to the topic.

Grant pondered for a moment. “Sloan Corporation wants to set up their brand in Atlanta. They're bound to divert some customers away. You should be on your guard. Also, I heard that Isaac offended you at a party?“

Nicole raised her brows. “Not really. I just taught him a lesson.“

“Be careful, but there's no need to hold back.“

Nicole nodded. Those words were quite nice to hear. She waved her hand. “I'll get going then…“

Grant nodded. Then, he suddenly remembered something and called her back. He took out a navy- blue gift box from the side.

“Here.“

Nicole was confused. She took it and opened it up.

Wow!

It was a huge ruby bracelet. The color was indescribably beautiful.

Nicole was shocked, and a smile immediately surfaced on her calm face. “Thank you, my best brother…“ Grant said, “You're welcome.“

“But why are you giving me a gift?“ Nicole asked.

Grant said, “It's from Aida. She bought it at a Swiss auction and said that you'd definitely like it… Well, I wish you all the best tonight.“

Nicole blinked. Was this what it meant by winning favor using someone else's gift?

In any case, Nicole fell in love with the ruby bracelet at first sight.

“Thank Aida for me. I'll welcome gifts like this in the future anytime!“

Grant looked at her speechlessly.

“Get out.“

“Sure thing!“

Nicole left Grant's office with the gift.

She intended to go back and appreciate this ruby bracelet.

The red crystal was warm without a single flaw. It really made her fall in love with it.

After getting such a beautiful bracelet, Nicole's mood for the evening banquet was not too bad.

Gifts were truly a good cure for an unhappy mood. Afterward, Nicole sent a message to Yvette asking if she had time.

Yvette replied in seconds. [Of course, I always have time to watch a show!]

Nicole was speechless.

Since Nicole would be attending a party, she could not be too shabby.

Nicole left the office early and went to pick Yvette up to choose their outfit.

The latest high-fashion clothes had been delivered to her home long ago, but Nicole enjoyed the feeling of shopping at a mall.

It was very relaxing and cozy.

Yvette started shopping with joy the moment she entered the mall.

Nicole clicked her tongue. “Is there usually no one to accompany you shopping?“

“Don't you accompany me?“

Yvette smiled and looked back at her, then sighed.

“Sean is really senseless. He looks wanton and unrestrained on the surface, but he's actually quite serious in his bones. He doesn't have the patience to accompany me shopping. Besides, I 'm also worried that people will point fingers at us if we're seen together…“

Nicole paused and raised her eyes to look at Yvette. “Is your mom fine with it now?“

“Of course not! She wanted to beat me to death at first, then she started to lecture me. She even got Lance to persuade me, but that's all useless since I'm stubborn and don't care about these things."

Nicole frowned. “I haven't heard any news about Lance and you calling off your marriage. Did you call it off in private?"

Yvette paused and looked back at her.

“We didn't call it off. My mom said I can't call it off unless she's dead."

Nicole asked, “Then what are you planning to do?"

“We'll take it one step at a time. I have the time to slowly drag it out, but that might not be true for the Sheldon family. I don't believe that Lance won't get anxious eventually."

Nicole raised her brows. When she thought about Lance Sheldon, it seemed like he would not be anxious either.

“Forget it. You guys should talk about it. There's no need to be so standoffish. Did Sean not show any indication at all?"

Read Chapter 1107 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Yvette smiled. “Sean supported breaking off the marriage. He also wanted to marry me, but I refused. What benefits would I get to marry him besides whitewashing the fact that he had an affair? I 'm not that stupid. We're all just playing around. We'll be together if we see fit and break up if we're unsuitable anymore. What's the point of so much entanglement?“

Nicole took a deep breath. She saw that Yvette's expression was not very happy.

Forget it. Yvette made up her mind, so she would not listen to anything that anyone else said.

She pulled Yvette's hand. “Forget it, stop thinking about it. Don't hold back today. I'll pay for anything you like!“

Yvette blinked. “Seriously?“

“Of course. Have you seen a stingy rich woman before? Pick whatever you want!“

Nicole patted her chest and assured Yvette. It was not like she could not afford it anyway. What was important was that Yvette was happy!

Yvette pulled her excitedly. “Then I won't hold back!“

Then, she rushed into a luxury store.

Nicole smiled and followed her in to choose. Before long, the latest models of jewelry were all laid out in front of them.

Yvette looked at them lovingly. Nicole also felt that they were not bad.

“Lil N, which one of these do you think matches better with the dress tonight?“

Nicole paused. “The dresses are at home, so we'd have to take these home to see. Why not just buy them all? Then you can take your time to match them!“

Yvette was stunned. “Are you serious?“ Nicole nodded naturally.

“Of course. It's all for you. Consider it your appearance fee for tonight!“

Yvette went over to hug her and gave her a fierce kiss. “Nicole, you have to be my friend forever!“

Nicole pushed her away in exasperation with a look of disdain.

The staff did not even have the chance to introduce herself and excitedly packaged the jewelry.

Nicole casually took out a black card, and the staff returned it to her after swiping it.

“Ms. Stanton, the total was $24million. This is your card.“

Yvette casually glanced over and frowned. “Did your third brother's card change?“

Nicole was stunned.

She took the card and looked at it.

“It doesn't look like my third brother's…“

Nicole took out her purse and rummaged through the cards inside.

Kai's card was there. Grant's card was there. Floyd's car was also there.

Maverick's card was at the very inside. Whose card was this?

Nicole indeed found it a little unfamiliar, as if she had not seen it before.

Did Kai secretly sneak another card into her bag? However, that thought was quickly dismissed.

Kai was busy dating Julie recently, so he probably would not even think about that.

The two women looked at each other.

Yvette sighed. “Why don't I have problems like this?“

Nicole could not help but laugh. She looked at the staff to the side.

“Can you help me find out who the owner of this card is?“

“Of course, Ms. Stanton.“

Although this was not in line with the rules, it was the customer's request. No matter how out of line it was, it was justified and reasonable.

Not long after, the staff came over with the card and spoke with a smile.

“Ms. Stanton, I could only find out that the owner of this card 's last name is Sloan. Is that of any help?"

Nicole froze for a moment and raised her head in shock.

Clayton?

Her first instinct was him.

That was because there was no other Sloan who would secretly slip a black card into her bag.

Yvette voiced out, “It's Clayton 's card?!" Nicole looked at her, somewhat bewildered. “You didn't know?" Yvette asked.

Nicole shook her head. “I really didn't."

Nicole did not even know when she got the card. Yvette smiled meaningfully.

“It's not too late to know now. Looks like Mr. Sloan has started to earn money for you to spend. That man is quite conscientious…"

Read Chapter 1108 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Nicole took the card in a complicated mood and put it in her purse.

Since she already used the card, it would be unreasonable to give him back the money.

“Please come again…”

Yvette and Nicole left the store together. The staff politely sent them away.

A long sigh of envy sounded from behind. “Her starting point is our end goal. The cards in Ms. Stanton's bag are enough for me to spend for a few lifetimes. I'm so envious!”

“Exactly…”

After leaving the mall, Nicole called Clayton. He picked up after a few rings.

“Little Nicole…” Nicole was speechless.

Yvette was startled by that name. “Hahahahaha… Mr. Sloan, that pet name is a little too odd!”

There was silence on the phone for half a second. Clayton did not say anything.

Except for the echoing sound of Yvette's laughter, no one else spoke.

Clayton did not expect someone else to be there.

Nicole was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to burrow into.

Clayton was really going too far recently. His pet names for her had completely changed from normal to weird.

It was fine if only Nicole heard it, but if others heard it…

Sigh!

Half a minute passed.

Nicole could not help but cough. “Clayton?“

“Yeah.“

He responded immediately.

Clayton was just waiting for her to speak.

Nicole rolled her eyes at Yvette next to her. “Did you put a card in my bag?“

Without waiting for him to reply, she clarified, “I was shopping with Yvette and found an unfamiliar card after swiping it. The staff said that the owner's last name was Sloan. Is it yours?“

Clayton chuckled. “Yeah, but feel free to buy anything. Don't worry, there's no limit on it.“

Nicole said, “That's not what I meant. Why did you give me a card?“

“Of course, it's your allowance. I'll only have a sense of security if I can dedicate some of my possessions to you.”

To the side, Yvette could no longer hold back and burst out in laughter.

“Why are you saying that, Mr. Sloan? Is a sense of security built with money? Also, Nicole gifted me a lot of things. Don't be heartbroken!“

Clayton's voice was warm.

“Of course not. As long as it's from her, I won't be heartbroken. Please feel free to use them, Ms. Quimbey!“

Yvette looked at Nicole. “You have to spend more money in the future so that Mr. Sloan can feel at ease!“

Nicole pinched her lightly. “That's none of your business.“

It was in front of Yvette, so Nicole felt embarrassed. Nicole hung up after saying a few sentences.

The two of them went back to Nicole's apartment.

The dressing room had all the high-fashion dresses from major brands.

The moment Yvette entered, she forgot all about the black card and focused on the clothes.

Nicole casually found a light blue satin dress that hugged her waist. Her skin was fair and supple, so if she wore this, she would look like snow on top of a mountain. Her unreachable and cold aura instantly made people stay away.

The style of the dress was simple and uncomplicated.

It was not grand, but it was very decent.

For an event like this, having an effect that brought about a sense of distance was more than appropriate.

Yvette chose a short black dress. It was flamboyant and dark, yet noble and sexy, accentuating her figure extremely well.

Nicole nodded and gave her the most suitable black diamond necklace from the jewelry store that she just bought.

The effect was really quite stunning.

The two of them could not drive themselves over, so they called a driver to pick them up.

They arrived at the venue in the evening. They entered the room.

Camron 's son and daughter were present and enthusiastically came over to greet Nicole when they saw her.

Nicole knew them beforehand and did not stand on formality. They exchanged pleasantries with each other.

What was surprising was that in the corner, Ava was present as well.

Read Chapter 1109 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

In the corner.

Ava's face looked very aggrieved, but she was trying hard to suppress her grievances. Her eyes were still red.

When Nicole saw this, she smiled and did not say anything. She naturally would not take the initiative to greet Ava.

Their relationship had not reached that level. Camron looked at Nicole very warmly.

“Nicole, you and Yvette haven't come to my place for a long time.“

Yvette and Nicole grew up together, so naturally, she often visited the places of these acquaintances like Nicole.

Yvette smiled cordially.

“Uncle Camron, you have to make an appointment in advance to see us. We're busy with our businesses…“

Her melodramatic opening made Camron burst out in laughter.

“You youngsters are all very busy and rarely have time to get together. That's why I've specially sent an invitation to invite you here…“

Camron's eldest son greeted them very warmly.

“Ms. Stanton, Ms. Quimbey, I don't know if these are to your liking. If they aren't, we'll change the dishes.“

Nicole smiled. “They're great. There's no need to stand on ceremony.“

The atmosphere here was very cordial, but Ava was like a low-pressure existence.

Ava was out of place.

As they spoke, the room fell silent for an instant.

They suddenly heard Ava sob, which sounded extraordinarily harsh.

Camron's eldest daughter glanced at Ava speechlessly. She wanted to scold Ava, but she had reservations since the occasion today was not appropriate.

The eldest son looked at Camron and also closed his mouth speechlessly.

Ava's existence was not a good thing for the Dudley family.

However, to Camron, it might more or less reduce some of the guilt he felt in his heart.

A few seconds passed.

Camron looked embarrassed and could not hold back. He lifted the wine glass in front of him and looked at Nicole.

“Nicole, there's something that's been bothering me for a while. My daughter Ava, who I just recognized, was unable to live by my side. She grew up outside and learned some bad habits, and she caused a bad impact on you and Stanton Corporation. I apologize to you on her behalf.“

Nicole was silent for a few seconds. Her heart was extremely reluctant to forgive that woman so easily.

However, she knew that for a person of Camron's status and position, he was already showing her a lot of deference by lowering himself so much.

If she did not help him out, it would only make the relationship between the two families unpleasant.

Ava sat to the side, not making a sound. She looked slightly absent-minded.

Nicole was quiet for a while before smiling.

“Uncle Camron, you went through great lengths to find your daughter. It should be something to be happy about. Since it's already a matter of the past, we won't bring it up repeatedly. I only hope that she'll learn from this in the future!“

Camron breathed a sigh of relief and quickly looked at Ava.

“Ava, Nicole isn't going to bicker with you. Hurry up and thank her.“

Ava paused. Her expression was unwilling as she pursed her lips.

She did not open her mouth, and to the side, Yvette spoke with a smile.

“No, she should be apologizing. She should be thanking Nicole. It seems like Ms. York hasn't given a proper apology for the scandalous things she did. Nicole isn't pursuing this matter out of respect for you, Uncle Camron. If it were anyone else, they would've died a housand times over.“

Although Yvette's words were abrupt and impolite, everyone knew in their hearts that there was no exaggeration here.Ava looked at Camron with an unpleasant expression. She hesitated to speak.From the beginning to the end, Ava did not take a stance and did not make a sound. She left everything to Camron.

Camron looked at Ava with grave eyes.

“You should apologize. If you did something wrong, you should bear it yourself.“

There was silence for a few seconds.

Nicole faintly looked at the wine on the table, rippling under the overhead light. The reflected light was extremely bright and beautiful.

Everyone's eyes were on Ava, looking at how uncomfortable she was.

Ava was very slick and smooth in the past. She naturally knew that right now, the best thing to do was to apologize and say some pleasant words. That way, this matter would come to pass.

Although it was very humiliating, compared to dignity, it was more important to be able to stay in this circle.

Now, Ava started to struggle.

After the people in the circle knew that Ava had offended Nicole, they no longer wanted to be associated with her.

Ava did not want to go out and work for others, and her family business did not accept her.

It was hardest to stay in a position that was neither here nor there.

However, at that moment, Ava suddenly did not want to apologize. A man who would be having his second marriage went to her house to kick up a fuss about canceling the engagement, which made her reputation drop to rock bottom.

Ava no longer had anywhere to retreat.

She had already been punished. Why did she still have to bow down to Nicole?

The room was awkwardly silent. Camron's expression slowly sank.

It was such a great opportunity, but Ava was not taking advantage of it to get out of the awkward situation. Why was she hesitating?

Camron 's son and daughter sat to the side, watching the show silently.

Nicole smiled faintly and spoke up in a clear and light voice.

“Forget it. Since she doesn't want to apologize, then don't force her. Besides, Ms. York's apology is of no use to me. I 'm only letting her off the hook out of respect to Uncle Camron, but if there's a next time, I won't care who it is.“

Nicole curled her lips. Her words were straightforward and sharp.

Ava raised her red eyes and looked at Nicole. “Ms. Stanton, you're a winner in life. You can squeeze me to death with just a snap of a finger. Why would you care about my apology?“

Her sudden words made the already awkward atmosphere sink even further.

“I did something wrong, but I already suffered the consequences. I wasn't exempted by those consequences because of your generous forgiveness. In that case, what else is there to apologize for? If I apologize and thank you, will you forget everything and let me go back to work at Cyndro International?“

What bothered Ava the most was that she was kicked out of Cyndro International by Eric Ferguson.

Ava put in countless blood, sweat, and tears to reach the position of senior management in Cyndro International. This was the career she was most proud of.

Ava knew in her heart that as long as Camron's son and daughter were around, they would never allow her into the Dudleys' company.

Even before she joined them, she already knew that the battle for interests among the gentry did not let up in the slightest.

That was why she hated the beginning of her acquaintance with Nicole.

It was because of Nicole that she left Cyndro International.

She finished speaking.

Camron looked at her with complicated eyes. His expression was gloomy.

Nicole raised her head and glanced at Ava indifferently.

She chuckled.

“That's right. Even if you apologize and thank me, I won't speak up for you in front of Eric so that you can go back to Cyndro International. That's because you really don't have that honor and ability. Eric cherishes talents a lot. If he was able to give up on you so decisively, it meant that there was nothing valuable about you. Also, the first time we met, you tried to seduce my boyfriend, then you went and became someone else's mistress. Your despicable character is already deeply rooted in my heart, and my impression of you won't change no matter what anyone says or does, so there's no need to waste your effort trying."
