Ch. 2031..2040
Chapter 2031
Nicole received the invitation to this auction when she was still in Esperanza.
It was Grant who wanted to make her happy, so she asked him to participate in such activities more.
Although there were no extra invitations, she didn't need it herself, just brush her face.
So as soon as she got home, she gave Luke the invitation.
A few days later.
The auction went ahead as scheduled.
Nicole and Clayton were together, she was wearing a beige skirt, which set off her laziness and beauty, and her slender waist was not full of grip.
The biggest highlight of this skirt was that the back was hollow, and anyone could vaguely see the beautiful and delicate butterfly bones.
Many people who came and went greeted Nicole, and Nicole nodded.
On the other hand, Clayton had been standing behind her, never leaving her. He was deliberately trying to block the eyes of others looking at her from behind. If he had known that Nicole was so sexy and beautiful, he would have participated in her hobby of choosing clothes. But when he sent the talk to the old house, Nicole had already arrived ahead of schedule.
Fortunately, Nicole also wore a transparent tulle shawl, which could create beautiful water patterns in the moonlight or in the gentle light, which matched her clothes well.
Jewelry auction was the last link. The banquet was brought forward.
Nicole looked around and really saw Luke. She breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that he was someone who could take chances very well.
She was right.
Clayton was saying a few words to the person opposite, and Nicole walked over with a glass of wine.
Opposite Luke was a colleague she knew, so it was appropriate to say hello.
But she didn't notice that there was a thick pillar where they were standing, and Eric was just blocked by the pillar. Hearing their conversation, Nicole nodded slightly.
"I am very interested in Mr. Youngblood's company. If Ferguson Corporation is willing to invest, H's project can be done together."
Nicole was taken aback. She held back and didn't roll her eyes.
The person who robbed her of Eric's dog days?
Luke smiled and declined, still acquainted: "Thank you for the kindness of President Ferguson, but Z Technologies has already been acquired, and I am not the actual shareholder."
"Oh? Why don't you bring your team and join J&L Corporation together? The Corporation is good…"
Luke said, "Z Technologies is the hard work of our team. It exists like a biological child. Which parent can throw away their child?"
Eric sank his face and did not continue to speak. Then turned around and left.
Luke was inexplicable, "Which sentence did I say wrong?"
The person on the opposite side smiled and smoothed out: "What a good opportunity, you rejected Eric. Of course he has a temper."
Luke thought to himself, what he said just now, isn't it? For Eric?
Luke smiled and shook his head and sighed: "It's embarrassing, but I can't help it."
If Nicole knew that he was against the water, he would like to find someone to kill him.
The person on the other side jumped in their hearts when they saw Nicole approaching, and quickly greeted them with a smile: "Miss Stanton, long time no see…"
Luke's eyelids also jumped, looking at Nicole, thinking to himself Your performance just now was not wrong, right?
Nicole glanced at Luke and Tina, Then said, "It's been a long time indeed."
Although the two were not familiar with each other to that extent, they still had a friendship playing of play-cards.
Tina took her arm affectionately: "It's been a long time since you came out to play. It's boring without you."
Nicole smiled, she actually admired Tina.
It was obvious that she and her husband had a very unsatisfactory life, but when they went out, they were of one mind.
Well, like the honey love period, She completely forgot about the third, fourth, and fifth. "I'll play again when I have a chance next time."
Luke nodded when they saw what they had to say: "Ms. Stanton, I'll excuse me now."
Nicole nodded.
Luke smiled and left immediately.
Tina stared at Luke, approached Nicole, and said in a low voice, "You know him? He's really handsome, and he's a good little fresh meat."
Nicole raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Why, I'm interested?"
"Can't you? After all, there are so many talented people around you. How can you turn one eye and close one eye?"
Tina was full of suspicion.
If Nicole and Luke were not familiar with each other, Luke would not stop at just two sentences if he wanted to cooperate.
They must know each other very well before they say hello and leave.
As for the degree of familiarity, Tina felt that Luke was right.
According to Nicole's playful temperament, there were constant rumors of little fresh meat before marriage. How could he be willing to be ordinary after marriage?
A moment of silence.
Nicole thought about it seriously and knew that Tina had misunderstood.
But how can you let others misunderstand yourself?
Is her image in everyone's heart so romantic?
Suddenly.
She choked on her chest, feeling inexplicably angry.
She stared at Tina for a few seconds, or maybe Tina was testing her here out of interest in Luke?
Then she can't make her wish. She smiled, groped for the wine glass in her hand, and said sloppily: "It's the same sentence, only children can do multiple-choice questions, adults can ask for several at a time."
Nicole admitted that it was too generous.
Tina choked, her face inexplicably became a little hesitant to speak.
The admiration in her eyes was uncontrollable.
Nicole couldn't help laughing.
Next second.
The sound of steady footsteps gradually came, and a hand was placed on Nicole's slender waist. She froze for a second, smelling the familiar warm and cold fragrance on Clayton.
She turned her head slowly.
Sure enough, Clayton's warm eyebrows and eyes were dyed a bit cold, and he looked at her with dark eyes.
Nicole's heart sank.
Didn't Clayton hear what she said just now? She paused for a while, then slowly pulled out a little smile: "Husband?"
Tina got into trouble. Seeing that, he couldn't stay any longer. He immediately put down the glass and found a reason: "Oh, Ms. Tina, it's been a long time."
Before he could finish his words, the person disappeared.
Nicole scolded her more than 800 times in her heart. Clayton squeezed her waist tightly, as if with a warning: "What did you say, Miss Stanton? Would you like to explain it to me?"
Nicole's insistence was all of a sudden deflated, and she snuggled softly against him. In his arms: "Just kidding, Tina always does things like this. I have to pull it back, you know I only have you in my heart. Don't you know Luke? Tina is thinking about him. I…I can't let my employees be poisoned by her."
Clayton stared at her with a look of scrutiny in his dark eyes.
Nicole knew that Clayton wasn't out of breath, so she immediately climbed up on his arm and kissed his lips.
As a result, he hides.
Nicole fluttered.
Apparently Clayton was really angry.
Nicole pouted, knowing that it is not good to coax now, it will be more serious in a while. She pulled him down relentlessly, and she had to kiss him.
She was making trouble in her arms like a kitten, and Clayton's initial coldness gradually faded, and there was some gentle playfulness in his eyes.
Chapter 2032
It was very noisy today.
Nicole's skirt was also slightly wrinkled.
This scene falls in the eyes of others, and they all know that the relationship between Clayton and Nicole is extremely deep and sweet.
Finally, seeing that she was in a hurry, Clayton stopped teasing her. He lowered his head and leaned forward, leaning her whole body against him.
Music played at this time.
Where they were right on the dance floor.
In a gentle kiss, it was the easiest thing to appease Nicole.
Clayton lingered on her lips reluctantly, and his footsteps moved gently with the music, and the graceful voice rang in his ears.
When everyone saw the pair, they smiled embarrassedly.
But no one stopped to watch, everyone dragged their partners into the dance floor one after another.
Over half of the song.
Clayton raised his head slightly and looked at the woman with ruddy lips. His throat moved, his eyes slightly deep.
"Forget it this time, I'll spare you."
He don't know if it was her gaffe or something else.
Nicole gasped softly, looking at so many people around her, her face flushed instantly. It's all because she was so invested in it just now that she didn't notice it for a while.
She bit her lower lip, pulled Clayton and walked out. The face has not been cultivated to that extent.
Clayton loosened his neckline, followed her with a smile in his eyes.
Standing in a place with few people, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Next time, pay attention to the occasion."
Clayton raised his eyebrows, his face had long since lost his temper: "We are legal, what are you afraid of?"
Nicole looked at him with an innocent look on her face, she was speechless for a while. She took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, I'll go see the auction."
In fact, I already knew today's auction before I came.
Nicole is mainly interested in jewelry, and has never been interested in antiques.
But Clayton, as always, looked pleasing to the eye and shot.
Gifts or collections can always bring out the overflow value beyond the original value of antiques.
This is what Nicole particularly admires.
Clayton smiled, followed him two steps, and Roland hurried over:
"Mr. Sloan, is in a hurry, can you spare a few minutes?"
Clayton was stunned.
Nicole smiled, let go, and patted his shoulder understandingly: "Go, make good money."
Clayton smiled helplessly, bowed his head and kissed the back of her hand: "Dance by yourself, I'll be right back."
He stood up straight, and returned to his usual gentleness and prudence.
Just as Nicole was about to turn around and leave, Clayton grabbed her.
He frowned and lowered his tone: "It's so happy, why don't you come with me?"
Nicole was silent. She smiled and looked at him, her eyes reflecting the bright light in the hall:
"I can't bear you either, I want to be with you all the time. But your business is important, go quickly, I'll watch you go!"
Nicole said a few words, and Clayton left comfortably and satisfied.
Roland, who was standing on the sidelines: Why do you want me to see this?
As soon as Clayton left, Nicole restrained her smile and looked at Roland: "Why are you still stunned, follow along."
Roland then reacted and quickly caught up with Clayton's pace. He also didn't expect that a successful person like Clayton would be more sticky when married than in love.
Don't they have a cooling off period?
Clayton walked to Mr. Collins's side. He was not the only one. Coincidentally, there were several acquaintances in the shopping mall, including Eric.
Mr. Collins doesn't stay in the country very often. This time, it was also a temporary stop. He was going to leave by plane in a few hours.
He smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Clayton:
"Mr. Sloan, since you settled in Mediania, it's even harder to meet you."
Clayton smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Blame me, my wife is more clingy when she is young. I had to hold me for a few more minutes just now, or I would get angry, I can't really leave her and go. After all I have to coax her out of anger before I rush over, not to mention going abroad…"
Mr. Collins looked at him with a big laugh: "You have today too!"
Clayton loosened his neckline, and he didn't clean up the corner of his mouth that was bitten just now because he kissed Nicole, and he looked a little bit romantic.
There was a hint of playfulness on the corner of his mouth, and he smiled.
Everyone smiled tacitly.
Only Eric, who was standing there, had a dark and ugly expression on his face. He seemed to be enveloped in a thick layer of black mist, and the chill was constantly radiating out.
Roland stood there frowning. He didn't quite understand, when did Clayton develop his black-and-white skills?
…
Nicole simply turned to look for Luke.
Although Luke was slumped at Eric's place, he seemed to have a good time chatting with other people. He didn't feel embarrassed or depressed at all, on the contrary, there was an idle old god like a son-in-law.
Nicole nodded with satisfaction.
Such a little blow Luke did not take it to heart.
It means Nicole was not wrong. She was really afraid that she would fall down and her money would be lost.
Luke was talking eloquently in front of several bosses, and those people seemed to be attracted and listened very seriously.
Nicole walked over and interrupted them with a smile: "I didn't bother you, did I?"
Several people quickly smiled: "Ms. Stanton, of course not, this is Mr. Youngblood, a young talent with a bright future… ."
Luke smiled in a low-key manner, but he didn't take this compliment to heart at first glance.
Nicole raised her eyebrows: "Since several of you are so optimistic about him, remember to contact him when there is a chance for cooperation. Mr. Youngblood, do you have a business card?"
He quickly took out his business card and handed it to him.
Several bosses looked at each other, took it over, and asked Nicole hesitantly: "Boss Stanton and President Youngblood know each other?"
Nicole's words were obviously introducing Luke. She smiled, "Of course, I invested in Mr. Youngblood's company, and I still need your support in the future."
The boss nodded suddenly, and quickly took out his business card and handed it to Luke.
If there is no Nicole behind them, their business cards will not be easily taken out.
After saying a few words, Nicole and Luke left.
Luke breathed a sigh of relief, visibly relieved for a moment of tension.
Nicole smiled: "Luke, I thought you weren't nervous!"
Luke was helpless: "If I came to play, I wouldn't be nervous. Isn't this coming with a purpose?"
There was nothing wrong with his answer.
Nicole: "How is the harvest?"
Luke looked at her solemnly: "I want to give up the H Project, I want to completely specialize in one aspect."
Nicole frowned, "Give up so easily?"
Although she also I felt that Eric would not give Luke a piece of the pie, but it was too easy for Luke to give up.
Luke pursed his lips, his face slightly grim: "Ms. Stanton, it is time to stop the loss, Ferguson always will not share the project, nor will he watch us grow bigger and threaten the interests of J&L Corporation, why bother Doing it in vain?"
Chapter 2033
Nicole watched him quietly for a few seconds under bright lights. Luke's eyes were full of brilliance, as if he had the urge to break through the confinement.
The kind of youthful struggle that any self-made man has ever had.
Nicole smiled, "Continue."
"I plan to change the research project to aerospace. Although there are many monopolies in the aerospace field, the technological aspects of design are the most extensive and the most tolerant. Our research results overlap with the aerospace field to some extent. If If you change direction now, everything will be in time."
Luke said excitedly.
Nicole was silent, and turned the bracelet on her wrist intentionally or unintentionally.
"So, do you have a plan?"
"I had a few conversations with the people from the Aerospace Corporation just now. In their conversations, they were unsure about the frequency of accidents in the current field. Although our technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, in a certain In some respects, it is still more refined, more perfect, and better in Liberty. Since we can have overlapping research parts. It is better to directly change the research direction.
The situation that aviation technology is monopolized should also change.” The last sentence, He said it calmly, but the people who listened were enthusiastic.
Nicole has long lost the mood to drink, and has been listening to him with her eyes down.
When Luke finished speaking, Nicole slowly reacted. Her eyes flashed, but there was no stingy admiration in her eyes: "You are right, President Youngblood, I look forward to your achievements."
She had a vague intuition that Luke would soar to the sky sooner or later.
In this mixed shopping mall, occupy a place.
Just as he was talking, Tina searched around to find Nicole, and came over happily.
"Mr. Youngblood is also here?"
Tina looked at Nicole with a lot of change in her eyes, which was meaningful.
Was caught by Clayton just now, turned around and mixed up again?
Really superb.
Nicole was too lazy to explain and smiled perfunctorily.
"Is something wrong?"
Tina leaned closer to her ear and said softly, "I have a pair of earrings."
Nicole was stunned, "Okay, no problem."
She glanced at Luke and clicked nod.
Luke left very sensible.
Nicole followed Tina to the auction. Another exhibition hall is full of collections from the meal auction. Favorite here.
Tina pulled Nicole in, and the bodyguard at the door saw Nicole, nodded and moved away.
The manager greeted him and said with a smile, "Miss Stanton, the auction will start in 15 minutes, do you want to enjoy it in advance?"
Nicole nodded, and Tina couldn't wait to run in.
"Look, this earring is so beautiful!" Tina said, pointing to one of the earrings inside the glass.
Nicole walked over and squinted, she was really beautiful and exaggerated.
The manager smiled and came over to introduce: "This is a lot brought by Mr. Gelinas. He said that his wife voluntarily donated this earring. We also sent a thank you letter to Mrs. Gelinas!"
Bloodless and stiff.
Nicole was also stunned.
She was pulled over by Tina to look at the earrings. When she was waiting for the auction, if someone robbed her, she would let Nicole take a picture, and she would go back and buy it from Nicole.
In this way, those who are interested in fear of Nicole's identity will give up bidding.
Tina will have to pay a lot less.
Nicole didn't mind doing a little favor. When she started watching this scene, she seemed to think that things were not so simple.
Sorry for helping.
The expression on her face was a little unstoppable. It took only a few seconds for Tina's expression to go from stiff to collapsed.
But these few seconds, She didn't know how many days have been accumulated. Her liking for the pair of earrings also turned into disgust and indifference.
She suddenly wanted to pounce and smashed the glass box. But she was stopped by the quick-witted manager and bodyguard.
"Mrs. Gelinas, what are you doing?"
Nicole had vaguely realized something.
Tina always pretended to be generous and dignified in front of others. Even if everyone in the circle knew that her husband was spending a lot of money, the women around her never stopped, and she never said a word.
She has always been a model good wife in the circle. It doesn't matter where a man's heart is, as long as it occupies a position. But at this moment, she suddenly collapsed.
She screamed and roared. It attracted everyone from outside the exhibition hall.
The manager looked at Nicole in embarrassment: "Ms. Stanton, what's going on?"
Nicole raised her eyes and said indifferently, "Mrs. Gelinas you want to thank is not the righteous master in front of you."
Choked to the point of speechless.
She only knew that the earrings were sent by Mr. Gelinas in the name of Mrs. Gelinas, who knew that there were so many twists and turns inside.
No one could hold back the scene where Tina collapsed and cried.
Nicole clicked her tongue. She really couldn't stand indifferent. She walked over and persuaded Tina softly: "What are you crying for? Don't you know? Since you already knew it, why did you make trouble at this time?
"On the ground, she pointed to the pair of earrings: "You know what? I know there are women outside but I can bear it, because he said that the women outside are just for fun, and no one can move my position. He said, the company was in trouble. I asked so many relatives and friends to help him. I was reluctant to buy even a piece of jewelry that I was frugal. He bought such precious jewelry for a woman outside, and he could donate it at will. I'm still trying my best to buy this second-hand product!"
Tina cried hysterically.
Everyone looked at this scene and sighed.
Zach Gelinas hasn't come yet, and he didn't see it after turning around just now, so he probably will come later.
It's not good for Nicole to stay here, but it's not good to leave Tina alone.
What can she do?
Tina and Zach's marriage was already crumbling, and Tina felt that there was no problem and could go on.
If she persuaded her to break up and turned back to Tina and made up with Zach, wouldn't she be a human being inside and out?
The manager squatted down and looked at her in embarrassment: "Mrs. Gelinas, this auction item was sent by Mr. Gelinas. Unless it involves the stolen goods from the police, we still have to auction it according to the regulations…"
Tina raised her head suddenly, his eyes were scarlet One piece: "Shoot, who rarely wants second-hand goods from this vixen!"
While speaking.
Clayton heard the movement and walked in and looked at Nicole.
Nicole pursed her lips and spread her hands helplessly. The two looked at each other helplessly.
Tina's collapse may have been expected, but this situation is really not suitable for further trouble.
Clayton said: "Mrs. Gelinas, I heard that President Gelinas has already arrived at the door. If you have something to say, you might as well make it clear to him. It's useless to cry here."
Tina wiped her face and raised her head with undisguised anger in it: "Really?"
Clayton nodded.
Tina stood up without saying a word, without caring about her image, she ran out with her skirt in hand.
Chapter 2034
Clayton took Nicole's hand and looked at her with concern:"It's okay Right?"
Nicole shook her head and sighed: "What can I do? Zach is really here?"
Wasn't it a nonsense made up by Clayton to calm things down?
Clayton raised his eyebrows, "Of course, he's not the only one here."
Nicole was slightly startled.
At the door, Tina stumbled out and watched Zach get out of a newly bought luxury car.
Maybe it was because Tina was too embarrassed and didn't act like his usual style, so Zach didn't even see that it was his wife.
Although most of the people in the venue were embarrassed to go out to watch. But there were also a few, who couldn't stand their curiosity and ran to the door to see.
For example, Nicole and Clayton.
Nicole was puzzled by what Clayton was following. She looked around and saw that all the people who came over to look were women.
Only Clayton is a man. And many people around him have their eyes on him.
Nicole whispered: "If you have something to do, go and do it."
Clayton smiled and shook his hand: "I'm fine, I'm here to accompany you."
Nicole turned her head helplessly.
The woman next to her was so envious, her envious gaze almost drowned Nicole.
Next second.
Looking outside from Zach's car, a tall and slender beauty with long hair and slightly curly hair, long waist and thin legs, is sexy and beautiful.
It's completely different from Tina, who dresses up casually on weekdays.
Tina was completely compared.
This person, Nicole, looked very familiar.
Isn't this Kirsi?
She squinted, it was Kirsi.
Zach's mistress is Kirsi?
A woman like Kirsi who was used to being held by Samuel could actually see Zach?
Although Zach looked decent, he was also slightly blessed.
It seems that she was really not doing well recently.
But the two embraced each other, Kirsi snuggled on Zach's body, and the two were sweet as if they were a couple.
Zach also unceremoniously wrapped his arms around Kirsi's waist and patted her h-i-p.
The two people looked at each other, and the ambiguous feeling came up all of a sudden.
Just the next second, Tina couldn't bear to rush over, and slapped Kirsi's face with a slap.
"Ah—" Kirsi leaned back on the car in fright.
Zach's face turned red and white, and he looked at her in surprise: "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you that you don't need to come?"
Tina looked at him with red eyes and gritted teeth: "I didn't come because I wanted to make room for your fox spirit? You said you wouldn't bring people out to hit me in the face, what are you doing?"
"What are you making a fool of? I'm too lazy to tell you more!"
Zach Looking at the glass at the door, there are several figures standing inside.
Although he couldn't tell who was standing there, it was definitely not an ordinary waiter who could blatantly watch.
His face changed slightly, this scene really embarrassed him too much.
Tina took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and looked at him coldly and indifferently: "I've had enough, Zach, we have known each other since elementary school. We started dating in high school and now, today, it's over."
Zach's face changed. He frowned and looked at her: "What do you want to do? I've already said that I'm just playing on the scene. You are the forever Mrs. Gelinas, why are you making a fuss? There's no money to spend? Or someone else said something to you?"
Zach took a deep breath and took a step forward: "Okay, what happened today is my fault, I'll let her go, and there won't be such a thing in the future, I'll be careful."
Except for his first The cheating was caught by Tina for the first time, and Tina made trouble to the point of getting a divorce.
It took a lot of effort to make her endure it.
Tina knew that Zach was fluttering with colorful flags outside, but opening one eye and closing one eye increased his arrogance.
So Zach had no fear. But today, he could see that Tina was really angry.
So he quickly relaxed.
But Tina doesn't eat this set anymore. She looked at him coldly: "I always thought I could endure it, but Zach, you lied to my company for running out of money. I'll save you money and find resources for you. But when you take out the jewelry you bought for other women and put it up for auction. I didn't expect that the pair of earrings I took a fancy to tonight, is it someone else's leftovers?"
She shouted hysterically, as if she didn't care about maintaining the decency for so many years.
Those grievances, sadness, resentment, all of a sudden found a reason to pour out. The image she had always established among the noble ladies in the circle collapsed instantly.
Zach also froze in place.
"I didn't know you liked…"
He just bought it to make the women outside happy. But the woman didn't like it, so he just donated it.
Who knows…
Tina gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. She wiped her face and wiped away her tears. She looked at Zach and took a step forward.
Zach thought that the most important thing right now was to coax her, and he had figured out her temper in the past 20 years.
Just as he was about to come forward and hug her, Tina pushed him away.
She slapped her heavily, and then slapped again…
Zach was still confused at first. But after being beaten a lot, he reacted.
Besides, it's still in such a decent public place.
His face became ugly and cold, and finally when Tina raised her hand again, he pushed her away.
Looking at her fiercely: "Are you crazy?"
Tina didn't fight, she gave a cold smile: "Zach, I have all the evidence of your cheating, wait for my lawyer's letter."
After Tina finished speaking, she took her skirt and left.
Put Zach and the upper-class circle behind him.
The back looks very light.
Zach was still there at first.
Just the next second, suddenly panic. He raised his foot to catch up, but was stopped by Kirsi: "Mr. Gelinas, didn't you say that you hate this yellow-faced woman from your family the most? You said that you would file for divorce after the transfer of the property. Anyway, it's almost the same, simply take this opportunity to leave. You said that you will marry me as soon as you get divorced…"
Zach was confused by the annoyance, he shook off Kirsi and lowered his eyes: "What do you know? If she proposes a temporary divorce, she will notice the transfer of property, what will we spend if we get divorced?"
Kirsi was slightly taken aback.
Zach hurriedly chased and all he had to do now was to appease Tina.
The rest will be discussed later.
Nicole saw all of this in her eyes. The heart also followed up and down, and Tina's decision was undoubtedly a delight.
But this is a moment of excitement, or a painful decision, there are two endings.
Clayton stood there frowning, sloppy but cold.
Looking at the scene just now, it was as if watching an uninteresting play.
Nicole paused, lowered her eyes slightly, looked at Clayton handsome profile, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think Zach can do now to get out?"
Chapter 2035
Clayton face sank slightly.
He looked at her.
He wasn't so stupid, he always felt that there was something in her words.
After pondering for half a second, Clayton said lightly: "I don't know."
Nicole smiled and rubbed her shoulder: "You said what would you do if it were you?
Tina wanted a divorce, there was evidence. Gelinas Most of the time went out of the house. The company in his hands was not strong. Once there was a financial problem, it would very likely to declare bankruptcy.
Divorce now will not benefit him at all, he will not understand.
He instantly fell into Dilemma."
She was curious, what if it was Clayton?
Clayton seemed to know what she was thinking, and smiled helplessly. He sighed, somewhat regretting coming here to stand.
It's simply a disaster.
"Baby, I will never become such a scmbag. There is no if in this world. If you insist on telling me, I fully support his wife's divorce. Only by divorce can the scmbag know how powerful it is!"
Nicole lowered her eyes slightly, smiled.
Still satisfied and never mind.
She didn't embarrass him about this kind of death. She thought for a while, "Tina didn't even have the money to buy jewelry. It's very likely that there is an economic problem, but Zach has changed to a new car, and he can't see the economic problem. It can only mean that Zach is transferring property and deceiving Tina."
Clayton was silent: "Well, you are still smart."
Clayton had already seen it, but he couldn't say it.
Nicole sighed and stretched.
Zach outside had already driven away and left Kirsi behind.
There was a good show without entering the door, and everyone was more enjoyable to watch.
Nicole turned around and looked at the glittering hall inside: "Let's go, the auction is about to start."
Clayton took his hand with a smile, and became more interested: "There is a rough diamond, it's pink and blue, for Can you make a brooch?"
Nicole smiled, the two entered the exhibition hall, and the auction had just started.
She don't know if the organizer did this on purpose.
Opposite the positions of Nicole and Clayton are Eric and his female companion.
Nicole hadn't looked at his female companion carefully, and she hadn't paid much attention. But she also looked like a lady from an aristocratic family, dressed delicately, and when she looked at Eric, the admiration in her eyes was too easy to see through her mind.
Nicole looked familiar, but couldn't name her. However, she didn't pay much attention to his female companion, and was quickly attracted by the auction item.
Perhaps because of Tina's trouble, everyone knew that the pair of earrings would be of no value, so they temporarily changed the auction order and placed the earrings in the front.
As a result, only a few people made bids several times, and they couldn't call any high prices.
The original value of the earrings may be very high, but the helpless people present are very face-saving people, and this auction is not anonymous, so until the end, the earrings have not been sold.
The organizer had to remove the earrings and replace them with the next one.
Clayton was optimistic about a set of tea sets, and whispered in Nicole's ear with great interest: "Just now, Dad wants a new set, give him a surprise."
Nicole thought about the tea set in her cupboard, Use it according to the sunny day, rainy day, cloudy day and his mood.
She don't know what her hobbies are. She smiled and looked at Clayton: "Well, that's fine."
Nicole only thought about diamonds, diamonds, big diamonds. She was eager to see.
Because the rough diamonds are precious, they are not displayed here, so everyone has not seen them.
The two whispered a few whispers, with a few tacit smiles on their faces.
He didn't notice the fiery gaze of the person on the other side watching them all the time.
Since entering here, Eric had not said a word. Maybe it's because He didn't know what to say.
Nicole can still stand here alive and kicking. she should be happy.
But inexplicably, there was always an indescribable loss in Eric heart. He would speculate privately, if there were not so many twists and turns, the one standing beside Nicole now would be himself.
How good would that be. But this was the ending he could never dream of. He was even a little worried that Nicole would know about his plan.
From the bottom of his heart, He thought that he was a despicable and shameless person. But he felt that every step he took, there was a legitimate reason to cover up his selfishness.
She will never know.
The girl next to him was Clarissa.
She had already heard of Eric's name, but she had no chance to contact him.
Although Eric and Gerard have always had a good relationship, they are not his friends.
So Clarissa's mind, Gerard let her hide it tightly, don't ask for trouble.
Gerard knew the person in Eric's heart. If he want to find a replacement, most of them are not Clarissa.
But before this auction, Eric and Gerard were talking about something, and Clarissa happened to be looking for Gerard when they met.
She really wanted to come over to see but Gerard had something to do and couldn't get away, so he could only ask Eric.
Eric didn't think too much about it, and things went smoothly.
So, in everyone's eyes, Clarissa became Eric's female companion.
Clarissa returned from studying abroad for a few months, and she only saw Eric for a few seconds. She only know everything on Bing Encyclopedia about Eric.
Clarissa looked at the rough diamond, the light seemed to be a light blue, subtle and mysterious. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"
The host: "Okay, this diamond is in the hands of a collector from Italy. If you are interested, you can start the auction. The starting price is $9 million…"
Starting auction The price is $9 million, which is for nine figures.
Clarissa dismissed the idea in an instant.
The opposite Clayton's voice reverberated in the exhibition hall: "$20 million."
Everyone sighed.
Although the people present are not bad, but people like Clayton who started with $20 million in one shot, everyone also has a new insight into his net worth.
Nicole stood there calmly, beautiful and slim, bright and lustrous, standing there, the facial features under the light seemed to be extraordinarily delicate and beautiful.
She seemed to be completely out of the way, her eyes fixed on the diamond in front of her.
Cold and noble, just like her.
Eric stared at her for a few seconds, and immediately said:
"$30 million…"
"$50 million…"
"$60 million…"
At first, there were people in the exhibition hall eager to try want to bid.
But when she heard the two people's bidding as if vindictive, she lost her mood in an instant.
As for Clarissa, who was standing beside Eric, she couldn't help but look at Eric shyly in surprise and joy.
Could it be because of the sentence she sighed: "It's so beautiful!"
Eric wanted to take a photo of it and give it to himself?
She heard from Gerard that Eric has always been generous to women.
Clayton didn't seem to be angry, nor did he have any opinion because of Eric's bid.
Chapter 2036
Clayton stood there warmly. The gentle self-confidence in his eyebrows, the noble and handsome, makes people feel that in Atlanta. He is someone who can compete with Eric.
Nicole doesn't seem to have any feelings about the higher and higher numbers. She stood there quietly, as if wondering if it would be too wasteful to use it as a brooch?
The people around Eric couldn't stand.
It's already close to $200 million.
Nicole seems a little guilty from the excitement at the beginning to the panic now. She thought it was her words that made Eric angry. She couldn't help tugging at Eric's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Mr. Ferguson, forget it. I don't like it very much either."
If Gerard found out, 80% of them would scold her to death.
Eric frowned, glanced at her, said nothing, and continued to bid. It seems that he will not give up until he achieves his goal.
Clarissa's heart was uneasy. It seemed a little excited, but also a little nervous.
But the people in the arena watched this scene with a smile.
Because it was brought by Eric, he didn't say it blatantly.
The woman around him persuades the man to forget it, which is a very frustrating thing in itself.
A calm person like Nicole, standing beside Clayton, although he didn't say a word, his aura was there, and the two complemented each other well.
The asking price suddenly reached $400 million.
Nicole woke up like a dream. She interrupted the contest between Clayton and Eric, and said a price with a smile. Everyone looked at her in astonishment.
Undoubtedly, the focus of the highest price in the field today is Nicole. As soon as she exited, Clayton didn't say any more.
Eric was also strangely silent.
This contest ended silently, and everyone enjoyed it. There seems to be no winning or losing. After all, no one is asking for a higher price than Nicole.
The last thing was in Nicole's hands.
Clarissa couldn't help but glance at Nicole a few more times, and the envy in her eyes was undisguised.
Nicole smiled and accepted everyone's attention.
In the next auction, Eric took a ring. The meaning of this ring was extraordinary, and the women present were amazed. For a diamond king like Eric, the meaning of photographing the ring did not mean that he is getting married?
He don't know who had such luck!
Clarissa came out of the loss of that diamond, because this ring was more attractive to her. She was Eric female companion, and she was excitedly looking forward to Eric giving her the ring.
The manager asked the bodyguard to find Nicole with the diamond and said a few words of congratulations.
To be honest, Nicole felt that the diamond was worth the money, so when The manager heard that they had taken it to a certain level, he stopped.
Nicole glanced at Clayton, and Clayton took out the card very interestingly.
The manager smiled.
With a clear door in Nicole's heart, Clayton is still better. If it wasn't for Nicole who made the bid, how could Eric give up?
"Mr. Sloan, President Stanton, do you need a bodyguard to deliver it to your home?" The manager asked. They have such a service.
Nicole smiled, picked up the priceless diamonds inside, and put them in her bag. Clayton patted and said with a smile, "Manager, no need to be so troublesome. Thank you. We'll take it away by ourselves."
As the end drew to a close, Clayton also took the tea set he had photographed for his father-in-law and had them put it on the car ahead of time.
Nicole greeted several celebrities she knew in the circle.
Clayton was inconvenient to follow, so he waited not far away.
Seeing Eric's female companion, Clarissa coming out of the bathroom alone, Clayton didn't seem to be in high spirits.
Clarissa came to the front, only to realize that she almost bumped into Clayton.
She quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention."
Clayton raised his eyebrows and smiled gently, "It's okay, Miss."
His polite appearance really made people feel no sense of distance.
Clarissa looked up at him in surprise: "Do you know who I am?"
Clayton said sincerely and politely: "Of course, almost all of the women who can appear beside President Ferguson don't know. They are really talented and also a natural pair."
Perhaps Clayton was too blunt, and Clarissa's face instantly turned red. She faltered and was speechless. Finally shyly said goodbye and ran away.
It turns out that everyone thinks so, and has it been tacitly agreed that she and Eric are a couple?
Clarissa was running and accidentally bumped into someone.
Looking up, it was Eric.
Her face turned redder.
Eric frowned slightly and spoke to the manager across from him with a grim expression.
The manager glanced at Clarissa and recognized that she was Eric's female companion.
He smiled and complimented a few words: "The young lady brought by Mr. Ferguson is really beautiful, and the color of the dress she wears matches this diamond ring."
Clarissa looked up and heard that she matched the diamond ring very well. Immediately, her mood was up and down, and she looked at Eric excitedly and nervously.
She Seems to be expecting something from him.
Eric didn't notice.
Her usual shyness did not allow her to take the initiative to ask for it. It was just a secret message from time to time, hoping that Eric would understand.
After the manager finished speaking, he left with someone.
Eric was playing with the textured velvet-colored box, which he could hold with one hand.
Clarissa kept her eyes on the box and pursed her lips. She looked back and looked at Eric and asked, "Mr. Ferguson, shall we go back?"
Eric paused before noticing her. Instead of answering, he stretched out his hand to say hello, and someone immediately greeted him.
He looked at one of them and handed over the velvet box in his hand: "Give it to her, just say I wish her happiness."
He didn't name it clearly, but Clarissa understood it too. The ring was given to someone else, not hers.
All night, Clarissa was under the spotlight, thinking that she really looked like Eric. But Eric changed his hands and gave the ring to someone else. Her face turned red and white, indescribably colorful and complicated.
Disappointment and embarrassment all came together, making Clarissa feel as though a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.
The bodyguard left with something.
Eric called and asked the driver to wait outside. After he finished speaking, he looked at Clarissa: "I will ask the driver to take you back, be careful on the road."
After Eric finished speaking, he turned and left. He doesn't care about Clarissa's hypocritical thoughts.
Clarissa suddenly came up with a thought, wanting to know who this gift was given to. She subconsciously followed the bodyguard and ran out.
People left one after another at the door, and private cars were more expensive than the other. Everyone greeted and said goodbye.
Among the crowd, Clarissa watched sharply as the bodyguard ran to the last car, a black Bentley.
Clayton was chatting with the bosses in front, and the bodyguard ran to the back. The car window fell, revealing Nicole's bright and intoxicating face.
Chapter 2037
Clarissa froze in place like a thunderclap. She suddenly understood all the abnormal behavior of Eric tonight.
Eric set a sky-high price for that rough diamond, and it wasn't because of her casual compliment.
But Eric wanted to give the best things to Nicole. Even if she is married and is someone else's wife.
So when Nicole opened her mouth to bid, Eric immediately did not follow.
Is it because he is afraid of Nicole spending money, or because he is afraid that Nicole will get angry?
Clarissa couldn't imagine at all, what is the relationship between Eric and Nicole?
Thinking of this, she immediately called Gerard.
The tone was restrained calm.
"Brother, what's the relationship between President Ferguson and Nicole?"
Gerard was silent, "You just returned to Liberty, and you don't know what happened to them. In short, don't be imaginative."
After speaking, Gerard hung up the phone.
Clarissa stood there in a trance, and Eric's driver came over and asked, "Miss Clarissa, do you need me to take you back?"
Clarissa looked in Nicole's direction.
In between, she looked at what the bodyguard handed over, Nicole thanked him indifferently, did not take it, just rolled up the car window, and the bodyguard stood there holding the box, embarrassed.
Soon, Clayton got into the car, and their car disappeared in front of him.
Clarissa looked back and looked at the driver: "Thank you."
She said dryly. Her mood felt like a roller coaster overnight.
Nicole took out her mobile phone and looked at Whatsapp, replying with interest.
Clayton came up, "What?"
Nicole: "Miss Quimbey is coming back."
Clayton raised his eyebrows, "I didn't hear that she settled the mess in Cali, why did she suddenly give up?"
Nicole smiled, looked at the passing scenery outside, and sighed: "Isn't she pregnant, Lance won't let her stay there for too long."
Clayton smiled and said: "Alright, if you have one more friend, you won't be bored anymore."
Nicole nodded with a smile: "Yes, without Yvette, I always feel that there are a lot of interesting things missing during this time."
" I'm bored?"
"Don't you know that distance produces beauty?"
"Are you implying that I'm too clingy?" Clayton frowned in dissatisfaction.
"I like sticky people."
Nicole hurriedly leaned over to hug his slender waist and smiled.
Clayton helplessly let her hold him.
Every time Nicole bickered, she was always on the verge of angering him.
But Nicole always coaxed him a second before he got angry.
No way, Nicole found out Clayton's petty temper.
Father Ferguson's funeral is coming soon.
Nicole and Grant attended together.
It's all about the shopping mall, so it doesn't matter whether Kai and Maverick go or not.
Floyd's identity is there, it's not easy to pass.
Clayton went there once, and left in a hurry, without staying any longer.
Fortunately nothing happened.
The funeral held by Eric was not a low-key one. The location was chosen in a secret manor of the Ferguson family, and all media reporters were kept outside.
Anyone who enters must verify their identity again and again.
The weather was a little gloomy today. There was also a chill in the wind.
Out of respect, all those who went put on plain clothes.
Nicole and Grant went in, and Mitchell personally came to pick them up.
The mourning hall was magnificent, but the old man had been cremated long ago, and in the middle was a black and white photo of him.
It was cold and solemn.
The two bowed over and could smell the sandalwood.
Eric's face was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't hide his tiredness.
But when the people of the Stanton family came, they walked over in person.
Grant: "Mr. Ferguson, my condolences."
Eric nodded, and when he looked up again, he looked at Nicole.
Nicole pursed her lips, "My condolences."
Eric lowered his eyes, a little gentleness flashed in his expression.
"Don't mind that gift. I gave it to you because I felt I owed you. If you don't want it, I won't force it."
His voice was rough, hoarse, and tired. It seems that he has completely let go of his past with Nicole.
Nicole hesitated for a few seconds before realizing that the gift he said should be the ring from the day of the auction.
She nodded and didn't say much.
In this case, it was not suitable to talk about other things.
People came one after another, and they needed Eric to greet him.
Eric glanced at Nicole, said "self", and walked out.
Nicole felt that Eric had really let go.
This was good for both parties.
Grant took Nicole to the other side: "I saw an acquaintance, it's your sister-in-law's classmate, I'll go say hello?"
This means that Nicole was not suitable to follow. She wasn't so interested either. "Well, then I'll turn around and call me later."
Grant touched her head: "Okay, wait for me here."
Nicole nodded obediently. She was too dull inside and turned out.
Looking at the small building not far from here, it seems that smoke was coming out.
Smoke, was it on fire?
Nicole's face froze, because she was not sure, so she didn't dare to call someone over rashly. She could only run over by herself.
It was quiet inside, nothing was moving.
However, from the gap in the window on the second floor, thick smoke kept coming out and scattered into the air.
She paused, feeling a little anxious and anxious for no apparent reason.
She didn't know if anyone was up there? If anyone had, they would have called for help.
Suddenly, Nicole seemed to hear something.
It looked like something was beating against the glass of the window.
One after another…
Nicole was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted for help, and was about to rush in.
But the smoke inside was thicker.
There's obviously someone up there.
How could Eric make such a low-level mistake?
Nicole didn't have time to think about it, and she didn't see the flames, indicating that the source was not nearby. She took a few steps up, but the door couldn't be opened.
It was locked by someone, so the talents inside couldn't get out.
She was horrified.
Listening to the movement downstairs, She knew that someone should come in soon to put out the fire.
She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly saw that the door of the room on the other side was open. She remembered seeing it just below that the balconies of the two rooms were connected.
She pushed the door in and ran directly to the balcony, only to think of the locked room next door, with a railing in the middle.
Hearing the sound of slapping the glass getting faster and faster, Nicole didn't have time to think about it, she took off her high heels and stepped on it.
Next, Eric was attracted by her voice of help, and there were many others.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked to death.
"Nicole, what are you doing, come down quickly."
Eric's face suddenly turned pale.
Grant also ran over, panting: "You…"
Before Grant finished speaking, he looked at the smoke coming out of the window and was shocked: "It's on fire, put out the fire quickly…"
Chapter 2038
The face of the person changed, and Mitchell suddenly reacted.
"No, the young master is inside."
Eric was shocked and glanced coldly.
Mitchell's face turned pale: "You said don't let him come out, I will let the young master play by himself after the memorial service, the young master is tired, so I let him sleep here, but I didn't light the fire, and I didn't close the door."
Mitchell said in a hurry but no one listened.
Eric looked up with a livid face, his whole body tense.
"Nicole, come down quickly." Eric gritted his teeth. Knowing that someone may have deliberately created a chaos or crisis. But the purpose was definitely not to involve Nicole.
Nicole's face was pale, and the wind was blowing, a little cold, making her clothes rattle.
She brushed a strand of hair that was hanging at the corner of her mouth, and it fell down again with her breathing.
Fortunately, it went smoothly, and she jumped off the railing and breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to look below.
She opened the window from the outside, and the smoke inside came out.
Sure enough, a child was kneeling in front of the window, his eyes were red, and he was out of breath crying, but he couldn't make a sound.
The pitiful appearance made people unable to help but feel pity, and his breathing began to weaken.
If Nicole didn't save him, he would be suffocated by the thick smoke at a loss. She paused, as if she had seen him.
He was the kid who played with Levi at school that day.
This kid was Eric's son.
Nicole didn't have time to think about it, she stretched out her hand and said softly, "Come on, give me your hand."
Easton seemed to have lost the strength to cry. He didn't expect that someone would save him. He silently called for help many times inside, and called Daddy many times, but no one came.
Looking at Nicole, he seemed to see a savior.
He stretched out two hands, and Nicole picked him up forcefully and carried him out of the window.
Eric's people had already gone in to put out the fire.
A tall ladder was also placed on the balcony.
Someone was holding on below.
It was Eric who watched from the balcony, his eyes closely following Nicole.
"Come down, be careful…"
Nicole couldn't go down with the child in his arms, so he had to go down first.
The child has no strength to cry, the key is that there was no sound.
Lying on the ladder shivering.
Eric frowned, with a bit of impatient coldness: "Why are you crying?"
Mitchell glanced at Easton, and hurriedly climbed up, put him on his arm, and slowly hugged him down.
"Young master, don't be afraid, it's all my fault."
Mitchell was really afraid.
Although Eric didn't like this son. But after all, he was the eldest grandson of the Ferguson family, and his status was naturally different.
If something happened, Eric couldn't bear it.
Nicole got down from the ladder, and at the last step, someone helped her.
It was Eric who was originally standing there, but was taken by Grant.
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.
Grant patted the dust on her clothes: "Are you okay?"
Nicole shook her head.
Someone picked up Nicole's high heels long ago.
Just as Eric was about to take it over, Grant took the lead in taking it over.
Eric breathed a sigh of relief and put it at Nicole's feet: "Impulse, good luck this time, and next time, you are lucky enough to be so good?"
Nicole also felt scared.
Fortunately, the fire was small and did not catch fire to the adjacent room. Otherwise, she would be trapped in it herself.
Nicole frowned slightly and looked at Eric: "Mr. Ferguson, today is the big day of the old man, you might really make a fool of yourself."
Eric didn't speak, and stood there silently: "Thank you."
Nicole pursed his lips, "Forget it, it's getting late, shall we go back?"
Grant nodded and Nicole immediately said goodbye to Eric.
The slender figure left, Eric's face was gloomy, and he stood there as if no strangers should be approached.
Ingrid came out of the building in front and watched this scene: "What's going on?"
Eric glanced at her indifferently, and his tone was cold: "You'd better not have anything to do with this matter, otherwise…"
Ingrid froze when she heard this: "Otherwise what? Isn't it miserable enough? If it wasn't for Grandpa's funeral, would you imprison me for the rest of my life?"
The people around him dispersed one after another.
The fire also went out.
In the garden in front, many participants saw this scene.
Eric didn't speak, and turned around silently.
Instructed Mitchell: "Find out the reasons."
Mitchell nodded.
Easton had been taken to the hospital just now, but he didn't follow him without Eric's consent.
Clarissa walked down from the front softly and held Gerard's arm: "Brother, let's go and comfort President Ferguson?"
Gerard pursed his lips and sniffed: "Forget it, I'm getting angry, what's the use of comforting?"
"Angry?" Clarissa frowned, puzzled, shouldn't it be the time to be sad?
Gerard said, "Let's go."
Clarissa: "Don't you need to say hello?"
Gerard: "No."
"Oh." Clarissa followed.
Just as Gerard was about to get in the car, he suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Clarissa: "I remember you went out for a while, where did you go?"
Clarissa clenched her fists for a moment, hiding her inner nervousness. Face pretending to be calm: "No… I didn't go anywhere, I just went to the bathroom."
Gerard looked at his sister, pursed his lips, and touched her hair: "Sister, some people don't even think about it. I can't think, I'm not from the same world, if you think too much, you will get hurt. You are a smart and sensible child, you are different from those rich second-generation ladies in the circle, right?"
Clarissa was stimulated by Gerard's words. Her face was white and red.
She don't know if she saw something, but his brother who always loved her suddenly said this.
Clarissa stiffened her numb scalp and nodded slightly.
Gerard smiled and got out of the way: "Get in the car."
Clarissa pretended to be calm and got into the car.
……
Nicole arrived home on the front foot, and the thank gift from the Ferguson family on the back foot has been delivered to the door.
She looked at it, fortunately there was nothing out of proportion. If she gave him any more rings and necklaces, she would throw them out for him.
Grant sent her home and went to the company alone.
After all, one of the two brother and sister is enough to paddle, and the other still has to work hard to make money.
Going back to take a nap, Nicole heard the phone ringing in a daze.
She thought it was Clayton's call. She picked it up and listened to a woman weeping on the phone for a while.
"Nicole, can you come and accompany me?"
Nicole was slightly sober, and after identifying for a while, she asked tentatively,"Tina?"
"Hmm." Tina paused.
Nicole's relationship with Tina wasn't that good either. She thought that Tina would be busy with divorce these days and would not be in the mood to come out.
Why did you call yourself over?
She didn't want to get involved in the affairs of their husband and wife and didn't have a deep relationship and couldn't handle it well. She was not a person inside or outside.
Chapter 2039
Nicole has not spoken yet.
Hearing that Tina could not help gnashing her teeth, she released a tempting bait: "I don't have any friends anymore. If you come to accompany me, I will sell you the shares of GH Company that I can get from my divorce."
She knows that Nicole doesn't have a deep friendship with her.
If there is no attraction, how can Nicole come?
Nicole got out of bed and put on clothes while answering the phone, and said politely, "You are too outside, you are all women, I can understand you, really…"
She didn't make too much publicity. She chose to put on a low-key beige long dress, put on a thin coat and went out the door.
When she arrived at Tina's house, the upstart style of local tyrants really made Nicole stunned for a while.
It's just that there was no place for feet in the densely packed house.
She looked closely, and there were piles of cash on the table.
There was also a lot of gold jewelry.
Tina welcomed Nicole in with her eyes wide open, sniffing her nose, and didn't make up for the past two days.
"You're here, just sit down."
Nicole twitched the corners of her mouth, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Tina sighed: "No, I'll just watch you. After all, in the circle, You are the most that I admire you."
Nicole dared not think it was a compliment. She smiled embarrassingly: "Tina, you've talked about it and decided to get a divorce?"
Tina pursed her lips, went into the bathroom to wash her face, and came out without makeup, "No, he doesn't agree, I plan to sue. "
Nicole: "Oh, I didn't expect you to come."
Tina: "I've been confused for half my life, can't I wake up once? He dared to hit me in the face outside, did he really think I would endure it? Don't worry, I will give you what I promised you. but you can't deliberately lower the price, I'm divorced, and there are many places where money is used."
Nicole raised an eyebrow and nodded understandingly: "Don't worry, it's all women, I won't treat you badly."
Tina went back to the sofa and continued to pack her things: "These are all the cash and jewelry at home, as well as some important contracts and shares. I need to do calculate all."
Her eyebrows were heavy and her face was not good-looking: "I suspect that b*stard. The transfer of property has already begun, half of the property on the book is gone, and the company is also in a state of loss, but there are people in the company who say that the company has been operating normally and there is no loss recently."
Nicole nodded, "You have to find and come up with evidence, otherwise the divorce will be very unfavorable to you."
Tina gritted her teeth angrily: "Of course, but I am afraid that after the divorce, the property will be transferred by him. I have been unable to control the company's affairs these years, of course you can cover the sky with one hand."
Just as she was talking, the doorbell rang.
Nicole looked at her: "Who is it?"
Tina ignored it and continued to lower her head to sort out:
"Who else could it be, that b*stard has been attentive these two days, do you think I will still believe him?"
The doorbell kept ringing.
Nicole was surprised that Zach Gelinas didn't have the keys to his home.
Or rather, Tina quickly changed the lock.
Nicole chatted with her while chatting with Clayton on the mobile phone, without delay.
Tina was busy sweating and took out a few photos from the bedroom.
They were all photos of her and Zach. It can be seen that the two had a good relationship when they were young, and their eyes were full of affection.
It's just that men's eyes have always been deceptive.
She threw it to the ground angrily, with red eyes: "Since he was cheating and I caught him for the first time, the two of us have never taken any pictures. This marriage is a mere formality, and I have given him enough face but how could he bully me like that."
Nicole said nothing.
The doorbell outside continued.
No intention to stop.
Tina angrily ran over and opened the door. "Get out! Waiting for my lawyer to talk to you."
"Wife, I've broken up with people outside, I really can't bear you. I'm wrong, okay. You know, I only have you in my heart. It's all a show, I can't compare with you."
Nicole listened inside, quietly looking at the green plants on the balcony.
Green and dripping, suddenly fluffy and damp, someone took care of it carefully.
Tina usually has a carefree temperament and can do these small things, and he is not less boring on weekdays.
The two people outside continued to shout: "Go away, I'm telling you, I've had enough, I can still find a younger brother to support me if I stop the loss in time, I don't want to spend my life on you."
Zach's tone pleaded humble: "Wife, we have known each other for so many years, and your position in my heart is irreplaceable. We have known each other since junior high school. For so many years, you know how difficult it is for us to go from school uniforms to wedding dresses."
Tina sound gradually disappeared.
Zach struck while the iron was hot: "Wife, you forgot that when you had surgery for appendicitis, I gave up the opportunity to sign with others and ran back to the hospital behind your back. At that time, your family did not agree with us being together. I paid you for the medical bills after I sold my blood. We have been here for so many years. Don’t file for divorce lightly. If you are dissatisfied with me, you can beat me and scold me, and I will accept it.”
Tina's cries grew louder.
But the next second, she pushed him away suddenly, looking at her indifferently: "I didn't forget, if I hadn't remembered the past feelings, do you think I would endure it now? But after so many years, I have become acquainted with you. I thought you were just playing with people outside, just having fun. I thought you would come back to me one day. But when you took the v*xen to public places, I knew you had changed. "
Zach's face was on the side, and he has to explain in a hurry.
Tina didn't give him a chance, her voice was hoarse and hoarse: "You are testing my bottom line, don't admit it, the way you bring people out in a grand manner is nothing more than not taking me seriously, not putting me on the line. In your eyes, you are so disrespectful to me. Don't keep talking about Mrs. Gelinas, I'm already a joke, don't you know?
You broke the balance between us by doing this. Others can laugh at me, but you can't."
Nicole closed her eyes, her heart was quite blocked. She shouldn't have come.
In the eyes of her and outsiders, Tina deserved it today.
A good deck of cards smashed.
Poor and hateful.
But she deserved it, it should not just be the name of Mrs. Gelinas.
From school uniforms to wedding dresses, that moment of romance is enough to burn for a long time in life.
"Wife, I was wrong…" Zach didn't know what to say, so he could only apologize.
No conscience and superficial apology can solve anything.
It will only urge Tina to strengthen his determination.
"Zach, force me to tear my face, I'm divorced from this marriage."
Zach's face changed a few times, but he finally left.
The sound of Tina closing the door was very loud and loud. The tears had been wiped off her face when she came back.
But the eye sockets were red, and the red blood was particularly obvious.
Chapter 2040
Nicole opened her mouth but did not know what to say and did not know how to persuade.
Suddenly.
Tina sat up straight and picked up the phone on the table and said, "Yes, just left, follow me right away, Zach is likely to find that vixen, this time he must take evidence."
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone and looked at Nicole: "Come, come with me? "
Nicole was stunned: "Is it suitable for me to go?"
"Why not, I wish people all over the world would go and see the good show between him and that vixen." Tina gritted her teeth.
Nicole pursed her lips, for the sake of the shares, okay.
Go, go and see, it doesn't hurt.
It's just that Tina is in a bad mood and doesn't drive.
Nicole became her driver.
Tina was in command.
The car went downstairs in a high-end community.
Nicole knew that many actors liked to buy houses here. It was clean and the paparazzi couldn't get in.
She frowned slightly, thinking of Kirsi, it seems that she and Zach have been together for a long time.
Nicole looked at Tina: "Did you find a private detective?"
Tina replied: "Forget it, it's his former driver, from my hometown. He looked dissatisfied and made an excuse to drive, and then I gave him a sum of money to help me watch."
Nicole nodded.
It seems that no matter when, she still have to have her own confidant.
In less than five minutes, Tina's phone rang.
After listening, she hung up the phone.
"They came out." Nicole immediately looked over attentively.
Soon.
Two people appeared at the door of the apartment. they looked very familiar.
As soon as Zach came out of Tina's place, he turned his head and threw himself into the arms of his new love. This made Tina's breath a little heavier, and it seemed that he was very angry.
But Kirsi seemed a little weird. Maybe it was the night of the auction that day and she didn't see it clearly.
Nicole always feel that Kirsi has gained a bit of weight, and female stars have always paid great attention to their figure.
She didn't realize what happened until she saw Zach excitedly and cautiously putting his hand on Kirsi's stomach.
Nicole can see it, and so can Tina.
Nicole turned her head to look at her subconsciously. she saw that Tina's face was pale, her lips were all white, and he was trembling slightly, unable to speak.
It was a look of a huge blow. It's just that this blow didn't make her crazy, but rather a bit of despair.
Tina sighed, leaned against the car, and closed her eyes. Her voice was hoarse: "Nicole, take me back."
Nicole was surprised by Tina reaction.
According to Tina's temper, she should go up and beat these two dogs.
Until the car left here, The two dogs were also left behind.
Tina suddenly spoke, her voice low and hoarse: "When I had appendicitis, I took the wrong medicine, and the two-month-old child in my belly was gone. Since then, I have never been pregnant again. I always felt that I owed Zach, so I could turn a blind eye to his romantic affairs outside. He said he didn't mind, didn't like children. And I took it seriously. "
Her voice suddenly choked up and felt sad.
Nicole pursed her lips and coughed: "A man's derailment is a matter of nature, and it has nothing to do with whether he has children. After all, he didn't like that woman because he had children."
Tina covered her face and her shoulders trembled slightly: "Me too I don't know, how did you get to where you are today?"
Nicole sighed: "What should I do now? Tore his face, or pretend he doesn't know anything? Going out with your child, you won't continue to endure it. At this point, everyone won't be fighting for one breath, but every cent."
After hearing Nicole's words, Tina's face gradually calmed down.
Tina nodded: "Nicole, you're right, I still have a tough battle to fight."
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief, and now she doesn't care about any shares. She just hope that Tina would stop being stupid. Otherwise, there was really no cure.
Nicole sent her home and returned her home alone.
Being upset by Tina, Nicole simply went to Clayton's company.
Clayton was very surprised by her arrival. He not only went down to pick her up in person, but also carried the bag diligently.
This made everyone envious of Nicole.
Nicole couldn't stand the attention of so many people, it was too enthusiastic, she immediately got on the elevator.
There were only two people, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why is it so high-profile, I can go up by myself!"
Clayton smiled, "Isn't this all basic courtesy? You're my wife, if I don't go down to pick my wife up, it will make others speculate that there is not a good relationship between us."
Nicole really believed what he said seriously.
Seeing her listless appearance, Clayton asked what she was doing just now.
Nicole simply recounted what happened from going to Ferguson's house in the morning to what happened just now.
Coincidentally, he opened the door of the office in front, and Nicole walked straight in.
She sat in Clayton's seat, her long hair ran down her shoulders to her ears, and her delicate earrings were small and beautiful.
Clayton put his hands on both sides of the chair and looked at her with a smile: "Just because of this unhappy?"
Nicole put her arms around his neck: "Not unhappy, but not too happy either."
Clayton clicked, He lowered his head and kissed her lips, then said with a smile: "Then let's do something fun?"
Nicole was taken aback.
Suddenly, he was in the air, and Clayton picked her up.
Nicole quickly refused, a little nervous: " Are you crazy? this is the company!"
Clayton didn't care where it was. He put Nicole in the lounge inside and Nicole glanced at the lounge, she chose this bed herself.
Immediately Clayton face flushed, he pushed and refused.
Nicole swears that she really didn't come here for this.
Clayton kissed for a while, then smiled and looked at her: "Don't be unhappy because of others, our marriage is no problem, you see all my energy is spent on you and there is absolutely no second heart."
Nicole blushed when Clayton said it. Heartbeat, it feels like the heart is about to jump out.
The breaths of the two people were intertwined, and Nicole sat unsteadily and subconsciously leaned back.
Clayton followed suit and fell on top.
Nicole opened her eyes slightly, her eyes were hazy and moist, looking at the strong love in Clayton's dark eyes, as if she had discovered something.
Just as she was about to investigate carefully, Clayton's kiss came to her face, giving her no chance to react.
They are chasing each other, Clayton's big hand is clasping her waist and she can't control it. Suddenly the door of the office is pushed open.
"Mr. Sloan…"
Clayton froze slightly, and his face sank instantly.
Nicole took a deep breath, let out a sigh of relief, watched him raise his eyebrows, and tidied up the buttons of his shirt, while exhorting:
"Look, I'll say it's not suitable, it's more important to work, let's go."
