As soon as Nicole answered Yvette’s call, Yvette’s voice came through.

"Nicole, you know Dominic Young, right? Do me a favor."

Nicole frowned. Usually, when Dominic Young was involved, it was about online public opinion.

"What for?"

Yvette spilled her guts to Nicole.

"After that f*ckboy Sean Moore got a divorce, he posted his divorce certificate on his social media as if he’s afraid that people won’t know. Our mutual friends took a screenshot for me and asked me to reconsider. Consider my *ss! Since I saw his true face, I just wanted to gouge my eyes out because I was so blind to fall for him!"

Nicole wrinkled her eyebrows slightly and asked her seriously, "Then what do you want to do?"

"I’m getting engaged to Lance Sheldon. To make Sean give up completely, I’m going to announce my engagement to the whole world!"

Nicole could imagine Yvette’s angry expression. "Engaged? So sudden? You shouldn’t be impetuous!"

Nicole advised Yvette that it would be bad if Yvette later regretted the engagement after it had become a big deal.

Yvette was silent for a few seconds.

"Anyway, I’ll have to get engaged sooner or later, so I might as well take the opportunity to get rid of this entanglement with Sean. My mom is right. I can’t do anything but play. If the company is given to me, it’ll collapse in less than five years. I know that I’m not capable, so I have to find a man who can take me along with him."

Nicole paused when she heard that Yvette suddenly got serious. "Yvette, what’s wrong?"

Somehow, Nicole’s heart was all over the place. ’Yvette isn’t someone who will just resign to her fate!’

The person on the phone was silent. Yvette took a deep breath and said, "I’ve been watching my mom working at the office for the past two days. She’s really old, and the people under her all have their own agendas, so she has to be alert and fight to cope with them. She even has to care if I’m living well. Now, the company’s deficit is growing. My mom told me frankly that the Sheldon family has a strong capital, and the only way for them to willingly invest in our company is through a marriage alliance. My mom didn’t want to sell me for that money either, so she’s letting me decide for myself. I just think that I should do something…"

By the end of it, Yvette’s voice became softer and was filled with bitterness.

Nicole felt a little suffocated. "If you’re short of money, I can lend it to you…"

"No, I can’t be you guys’ parasite for life. Of course, I’ll have to scourge others too! Lance Sheldon is a good person. Although he’s seven or eight years older than me and is a little older than I’d prefer, he’s still so much better than that scum Sean Moore, right?"

Yvette pretended to sound relaxed. "So, don’t worry. Plus, this is only an engagement. If I’m not satisfied with him later, I won’t marry him. But I do need Dominic’s help to spread out the news of this engagement. It’s best if everyone knows that Yvette Quimbey is going to get married!"

Nicole listened to her words and thought that it was indeed not too impulsive since this was just an engagement and there was still room for maneuver.

”Good, since you asked for it, I’ll make sure that tomorrow’s headline will be about your engagement!”

Yvette laughed. ”I’ll send you a few photos later. It’ll be more credible with pictures.”

Nicole curled her lips and hung up after talking to Yvette for a few minutes.

She also called Dominic and told him the news.

Dominic said, "No problem! All the headlines tomorrow will be about Ms. Yvette Quimbey!”

Marriage alliances between affluent families were rarely this high profile.

Although the two sides were not celebrities, the power behind both parties involved was widespread.

Ordinary people were always curious about marriage alliances between rich families, so this would certainly cause a viral sensation.

Nicole finished washing up and went back to bed in peace.

Early in the morning, the sunlight lazily shone through the window.

Nicole was woken up by her phone.

Need less to say, no one else but Yvette Quimbey would disturb her sleep at this hour.

Since it was Yvette, Nicole did not get mad.

When Nicole picked up her phone, Yvette’s voice came through.

"Nicole, Mr. Young is just so dedicated! My news is everywhere! Hahaha… The whole country knows me now!"

Nicole’s voice was still hoarse. "Don’t be so happy yet. Having so much attention isn’t a good thing. Everyone will be staring at you!"

Netizens would either like her to the extreme or wait to see her collapse at any moment.

Once her reputation took a dive, those people who gave out their blessings would become executioners and add insult to injury when the time comes.

"I don’t care what others think. I just want that scum Sean Moore to see this news and get the hell out of my face!"

Nicole took a deep breath. Her phone was on speaker mode, so she got up slowly and freshened up while talking to Yvette.

"This is too big a price for you. Isn’t he angry that you ruined his cooperation with Ferguson Corporation?"

After all, it was a big deal to cooperate with Ferguson Corporation, so it should have been important to Sean Moore.

Yvette snorted coldly.

"He dares? If I had falsely accused him at all, I would be the despicable one, but every word I said at that time was true. He could only blame himself for being incompetent!"

When a woman became ruthless, it would not end well.

Nicole sighed and said a few words to her. She then hung up the phone, packed her things, and got ready to go to the office.

As soon as she went out, she saw Clayton and Lil Michael standing at the door.

The father-son duo smiled and greeted her in unison. "Hi!" Nicole was shocked and unconsciously laughed out loud. "What are you guys doing here?"

Lil Michael ran over with his short legs and hugged Nicole tightly, not letting go. "I want to send you to work, Pretty Lady. I don’t want to be separated from you for a moment. Can I follow you today?"

Nicole tousled his shaggy curly hair and looked at his tender and fair smiling face that was as sweet and soft as a marshmallow.

"Not today. I’m very busy today and don’t have time to take care of you. Why don’t you follow Daddy today?"

Lil Michael looked disappointed because this was the first time his pretty lady refused him.

’It seems like she’s really busy. I must grow up quickly and give her lots and lots of money so that she’ll never have to be so busy again!’ Lil Michael thought.

At that thought, Lil Michael stretched out his clenched fist and announced, "Okay, I’ve decided to go to the library today! I want to study hard!"

Nicole and Clayton were amazed at his change in attitude. ’What was in this child’s head?’ Clayton thought.

The corners of Clayton’s mouth twitched. "Let’s go. We’ll send Pretty Lady to work first, then go to the library."

Of course, Clayton would not accompany Michael to the library. When they got downstairs, Clayton sent a text message to Michael’s bodyguard and instructed the bodyguard and the maid to wait at the entrance of the library.

They finally arrived at Stanton Tower.

Nicole got out of the car and waved goodbye to them.

Lil Michael stuck his face onto the window and looked at Nicole’s departing figure with fondness.

He could not help but sigh. "How great would it be if Pretty Lady could marry me!"

Clayton’s eyelids jumped. His dark eyes glanced at his son. "You’d better study hard!"

Lil Michael pouted and said, "She doesn’t have a boyfriend, right? Daddy, you have to watch her for me. When I grow up, I’ll marry her!"

’Haha, too late!’ Clayton thought as he looked down at his phone expressionlessly.

Clayton let out a perfunctory "mm" and thought, ’I’ll definitely watch her well, then marry her myself!’

As soon as Nicole entered the office, Logan came in with her coffee and placed the documents on the desk as usual.

"President, everyone is here for today’s morning meeting. We can start anytime."

Nicole looked at the time. It was just right. She nodded and stood up.

"Harvey Sage came early in the morning and has been waiting here for almost an hour. Should we inform him first?"

Logan was surprised by Harvey’s arrival. He even thought that last night would be the last time he would see Harvey a t Stanton Corporation.

This kind of scandal-ridden celebrity would certainly implicate Stanton Corporation’s long-standing good reputation.

Nicole said, "No, let him wait."

If it was that simple to get an opportunity with Stanton Corporation, it would set a precedent for everyone to set their eyes on Stanton Corporation’s resources in the future.

Logan nodded. They walked out one after the other and went directly to the conference room.

The twenty-minute meeting lasted for an hour and a half.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was not great, but Nicole remained calm and collected. When it was over, everyone except Nicole was drenched in sweat.

Back in the office, Logan made Nicole another cup of coffee.

Nicole paused and asked, "Is he still there?"

"Yes"

Logan knew that Nicole was referring to Harvey.

"Make an appointment with Dominic Young. I’ll go over to him later."

Unlike the situation with Yvette last night that was just a matter of words, Harvey’s situation was more troublesome.

Logan nodded, turned around, and left.

A moment later, Logan set a time and place for the meeting.

Dominic Young certainly would not give himself airs in front of Nicole. After all, Kai was the real boss of Falcon Entertainment, and Dominic was just an employee.

Nicole took Harvey to Falcon Entertainment. Harvey was very calm and indifferent as he followed Nicole. He did not ask anything on the way over.

When they arrived at Dominic’s office, they pushed open the door.

Dominic was not the only one in his office. Kai also appeared out of nowhere.

Nicole frowned. "Why are you here?" Kai laughed. "I’m at work!"

What a big joke!

Nicole rolled her eyes at Kai and looked at Dominic with a polite smile on her face.

"Mr. Young, it’s been a while."

Dominic smiled. "If you have any orders, you can just call me. Why do you need to make a trip here personally?"

Kai laughed nonchalantly from the side.

"Of course, she has something that can’t be solved. You gotta know Lil N’s bad temper by now."

If this was not someone else’s office, Nicole would have hurled her stilettos at Kai.

Nicole held back her annoyance and smiled as she beckoned to Harvey, who was behind her.

"I don’t need to introduce who this is, right?"

Dominic was really worthy of being a big shot in the entertainment industry. His perfunctory efforts were spot on.

"Mr. Sage, you’ve been quite low profile recently. It’s obvious that your acting and singing skills are great, but it’s a pity that you’ve been delayed by other matters. Even so, gold will always shine. You’ll definitely get your fame one day based on your ability!"

Nicole almost laughed at these words.

Harvey hung his head. His eyebrows were slightly lowered, and his posture looked indifferent and nonchalant.

Kai glanced at Harvey, then sized up his little sister. He suddenly had an indescribable expression.

"You broke up with Clayton and you’re now interested in him? Your preferences change too fast, right?"

For a moment, the office turned cold. Dominic did not even dare to laugh.

Kai dared to tease Nicole, but others did not. Nicole glared at Kai coldly. "Do you want to die?"

Kai instantly put away his smile and pursed his lips. "Don’t

tattletale to Dad! Tal k to me if you have any difficulties.” Hah!

Nicole ignored Kai.

Nicole sat on the opposite sofa and gestured for Harvey to sit down as well.

"Harvey is the spokesperson for Stanton Corporation’s new product."

Everyone’s bodies stiffened with this statement. Kai stood up abruptly. His face was grim. "What?!" Kai’s reaction was a little too excessive.

Harvey did not react to or feel guilty for Kai’s reaction.

After all, Harvey’s reputation was already in the gutter.

Dominic was relatively calm. After getting over the shock, Dominic looked at Harvey with a complicated look in his eyes. He seemed to be thinking about something.

Nicole sighed.

"It was an accident, but I want to see if there’s another way besides canceling the contract."

Kai and Dominic both gave her an incredulous look like it was impossible.

Nicole said, "For example… Whitewashing?" Kai snorted coldly and rolled his eyes.

Dominic also did not want to say another word. ’No wonder Nicole personally came over. What a tricky dilemma!’

"Anyway, I brought him over, so you guys find a way to clear up his past before we announce the endorsement!"

Nicole shrugged her shoulders.

Kai gave her a speechless look and quietly leaned over to advise her in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Just get another guy. There are so many young hunks recently in the circle. It’s the type you like too…"

Nicole glared at Kai. "If I can just get another guy, will I even come over? Solving this problem is the most pressing thing now. You’re a big-name movie star. Don’t you have the ability to help?"

Kai sighed. He really did not want to get into this kind of trouble.

After a silent stalemate, Dominic coughed.

"How about this, let’s first listen to what Mr. Sage has to say. Most of the news on the internet is usually misrepresented. We ought to know the truth before we can decide how to respond, right?"

When he said that, Nicole looked at him appreciatively and nodded.

’Dominic is a true professional. Kai’s just a useless good-for -nothing who only eats and doesn't work!’ Nicole thought.

Everyone turned their attention to Harvey.

Harvey lowered his eyes slightly. His face was calm, and his sharp features naturally carried a hint of indifference.

Soon, Harvey calmed down.

"From the time I was photographed hitting someone, people have been spreading rumors about me."

Harvey paused. "That’s because the person I hit was my ex- wife."

Kai lazily leaned back on the sofa, waiting to hear the gossip.

Dominic looked at Harvey solemnly and observed whether what he said was true or not.

"There’s actually a reason why I hit her, but I didn’t want to mention it at first. If I mention it now, it‘ll just seem like I’m deliberately whitewashing myself and falsely accusing others."

"Tell us about it." Dominic urged.

"At that time, I was busy filming. My ex-wife was fooling around with a director in our house, and my mom found out."

A hint of embarrassment crossed his face.

"My mom called me, and when I rushed back in a frenzy, I saw my ex-wife and that director pushing my mom down the stairs. I was so angry at that time that I lost all reason. I went after my ex-wife at our apartment lobby to beat up that director, but my ex-wife stopped me. That’s when I got angry and slapped her."

The office was silent and cold. Harvey’s face gradually sank.

No wonder Harvey was not willing to clarify this even if his career was at risk.

Who would want to go around proclaiming that he was being cheated on?

Harvey’s hands were tightly interlocked. The veins between his eyebrows jumped, and his eyebrows were cold and rigid.

It was obvious that he was actually very nervous.

Read Chapter 975 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Dominic shook his head and looked at Harvey with some sympathy.

"Your career was on the rise back then. So many reporters were waiting to photograph you. Unexpectedly, you’re photographed just when you hit your ex-wife. Needless to say, what happened later is your name being associated with domestic violence. All the scandals are focused on you, and everyone only cares about the hype regardless of whether it‘s true or not."

Harvey lowered his head and let out a bitter laugh.

"It’s a good thing my manager didn’t abandon me. Otherwise, I’ll have a problem eating."

Although Harvey’s management was well-connected and shrewd, he still had to beg and work hard to arrange jobs and activities for Harvey since he felt that Harvey could still survive in the industry.

Kai pursed his lips and did not say anything. Nicole was a bit sympathetic to Harvey.

The story behind this domestic violence allegation was so tragic.

"Then is everything okay with your mother?"

Harvey curled his lips and said, "Yes, she’s fine. I sent her back to my hometown, so she doesn’t even know about my situation today."

Nicole took a deep breath and looked at Dominic. "So, do you have a solution?"

Dominic was silent and did not make a sound for a while.

This was too difficult.

It was difficult and expensive to whitewash a scandal- ridden celebrity and alleged abuser in everyone’s heart.

However, this difficulty was brought by Nicole, so there was simply no room to refuse.

"There is a way, but it takes time."

"How long?"

"At least half a year."

Nicole was silent and hesitant.

Originally, the official endorsement was scheduled for three months later.

Half a year was too long.

Kai lightly laughed. "Half a year is considered short. We gotta redeem the netizens’ impression of Harvey little by little. That way, it won’t seem too deliberate so as not to be perceived as purposeful and utilitarian. This is true whitewashing. Otherwise, do you think that anyone will believe the truth? It’s been so long, so who knows if Harvey is just falsely accusing his wife because he wants to make it big?"

Kai was very blunt. The corners of Harvey’s lips were tense, and he did not make a sound.

What Kai said was not wrong at all. Netizens were not easy to fool.

Nicole hesitated. "Then where should we start?" Dominic paused.

"We’ll have a professional public relations team to develop several proposals, then choose the optimal one to implement. But the general public opinion will be similar. A s long as we can control the online public opinion, it’s just a matter of time to whitewash Harvey’s reputation."

Kai nodded and raised his eyebrows.

"I remember that you debuted through films. Back then, several directors had a pretty good impression of you.

Let’s ask them if they have any movies first, so you can use your acting skills to brush some good feelings on the audience."

Kai looked at Dominic. "You’ll arrange it?" Dominic nodded. "Of course."

Harvey jerked his head up and looked at Kai in shock.

Kai meant that he was willing to help Harvey and let him film movies.

’I can start all over again!’ Harvey suddenly stood up, a little emotional.

"Thank you…"

’Thank you, Stanton Corporation, for not throwing me away like a piece of trash. Thank you for still giving me a chance! Harvey thought.

Kai smiled. "No need to thank me. Stanton Corporation is my family’s anyway…"

’How could I let my own family suffer?’ Kai thought.

The corners of Dominic’s mouth twitched. ’What a pompous speech!’

Nicole smiled with satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief.

”Then I’ll leave him to you guys. I’ll try to delay the schedule as much as possible. He’ll contact you directly in the future.”

After that, Nicole picked up her bag. “Let’s go, I’ll treat you to lunch first.” Nicole looked at Harvey.

Dominic and Kai were speechless. ’What about us? Don’t we need to eat too?’

Read Chapter 976 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Dominic and Kai watched as Nicole led Harvey out. Harvey’s face clearly had a relaxed smile.

Dominic clicked his tongue and looked at Kai. ”Is she really your sister?”

Kai’s eyes were helpless. ”Yeah…”

Kai would like to think that Nicole was not his sister, but the truth did not allow it.

Nicole was really hungry after working all morning. She found a quieter restaurant nearby.

There were very few people in the restaurant, so Nicole sat at a seat against the window.

Harvey sat down on the opposite side. It was clear that there was less gloom in his eyes.

He smiled, a little embarrassed. "Ms. Stanton, this meal is on me.”

Nicole looked at him. ”Sure!”

It was just a meal, so it did not matter whose treat it was.

This was Harvey’s way of expressing his gratitude, so Nicole accepted it.

After ordering the food, Nicole went to the bathroom.

When she came back, she saw another person in her seat.

That person’s back figure was cold and familiar. He was sitting several meters away, but Nicole could recognize him at a glance.

It was none other than Eric Ferguson.

Harvey sat opposite Eric and looked very cautious.

Eric said something that made Harvey’s face a little glum.

Nicole wanted to turn around and leave, but when she thought about Harvey, she still walked over.

Her tone was dull. "Mr. Ferguson, aren’t you sitting in the wrong seat?"

They had not seen each other in a few days.

Eric’s temperament was cold and noble. He was exuding a chill that was even more frightening than before.

Eric looked sideways and saw Nicole standing in front of him. He smiled and said slowly, "I saw an acquaintance, so came over to say hello. I didn’t expect you to be here."

Harvey opened his mouth, but when he saw Eric’s warning glance, he closed his mouth again.

However, Harvey looked at Nicole and shook his head, indicating that it was not at all as Eric said.

Nicole also knew that Eric was lying. If Harvey knew Eric,

why would he end up like this?

She had a dull look on her face as she said, "Mr. Ferguson, we haven’t eaten yet."

What Nicole implied was for Eric to hurry up and leave.

Eric’s cold and depressive eyes suddenly relaxed. "What a coincidence! I haven’t eaten either. Let’s eat together then."

Eric tried hard to make himself appear gentle and calm and struggled to hide the anger and cold-bloodedness in his eyes.

He had just finished eating with a client earlier. When he came out, he saw Nicole talking and laughing with Harvey.

That scene was really harsh and obtrusive to him because it turned out that Nicole was not only gentle to Clayton. She was also gentle to others.

Eric thought, ’Nicole is only merciless to me. But why did I become an exception?’

Nicole stood there and looked at Eric dully.

She was obviously not willing to eat with Eric.

Eric saw that Nicole was not moving. His face sank slightly. He raised his head, with darkness and madness in his eyes. A certain emotion in his eyes seemed to gush out. "What? Can’t ordinary friends have a meal together? Will Clayton Sloan get angry? Doesn’t he know that Stanton Corporation and Ferguson Corporation have ties that can never be completely severed?" His voice had a hint of warning and reminder.

Nicole wrinkled her eyebrows. Before she could speak, Eric sneered and said in a low and raspy voice, "How can you do it with others, but not with me? Nicole, have you changed your tastes?"

Eric’s hands on the table were clenched together, and his veins were faintly bulging.

The atmosphere was stagnant and cold for a moment.

Harvey looked at Nicole. He knew that Eric had misunderstood something.

’Should I explain something? But Nicole didn’t ask me to say anything.’ Harvey thought.

Nicole smiled coldly. Her eyes were icy. "You’re not to your taste, so of course, I’ll have to change it until I’m satisfied."

Eric’s smile froze on his face.

Read Chapter 977 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Since things came to this point, Nicole had lost the mood to eat.

Nicole tilted her head and looked at Harvey. "Let’s go. I lost my appetite."

Harvey hurriedly stood up and went to get the bill.

Nicole and Eric stared at each other. No one refused to admit defeat first, as if it was a staring contest.

Gradually, Eric silently lowered his eyes. When he saw Nicole’s gentle but cold eyes, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It was painful and sour.

If Eric was ruthless enough, he would have countless despicable ways to snatch her away and hide her so that the only person Nicole would see for the rest of her life was him.

However, he could not bring himself to do it.

Eric suppressed this dark thought through countless dark nights.

He was speculating why Nicole chose Clayton instead of him.

Perhaps Eric also knew that it was because Clayton would never use those dark, despicable, and underhanded means.

Clayton loved her openly and was not afraid of the darkness.

Eric’s cold, hard brows turned fragile. The corners of his eyes gradually reddened as his face became taut.

He was resentful and aggrieved.

The knot in his throat bobbed slightly.

In the end, Eric was the one who bowed his head and apologized first.Eric should not have said that about her.

’How could I use such a method to get such a gentle and wonderful Nicole’s attention? It’s so childish and ridiculous…’ Eric thought.

Nicole was really confused by this jerk, Eric.

One moment, he provoked her, but the next second, he apologized.

’Is he schizophrenic?’ Nicole thought. Eric pursed his lips. His voice was deep.

"I was overwhelmed by jealousy, and when I saw you with another man, I couldn’t control myself. It’s my fault.”

Nicole wrinkled her brows and thought, ’He is really schizophrenic!’

Eric looked at Nicole. A rare trace of bitterness crossed the corner of his lips. "But you said that we can be ordinary friends, yet you don’t even want to eat a single meal with me. You broke your promise!”

Nicole was clearly the one who was being unfair to him first.Nicole was speechless. The current Eric in front of her was obviously a fierce leopard, but he was now acting like an aggrieved and meek dog."Mr. Ferguson, you were intimidating my guest. Don’t think that I can’t see that.”

’Did he think that I was blind?’ Nicole thought.

Eric’s voice lowered. "I wasn’t. I just asked him to introduce himself."Nicole was speechless.

’Introduce himself? Hah! That’s really the style of a president! I’m also a president, but I’m clearly not as good as Eric.’"If he’s angry, I’ll go and apologize to him?"

Eric patiently lowered his voice like he was coaxing her. "No need, he’ll be scared to death."Nicole spoke coldly.

Eric laughed. He lowered his eyes slightly and quietly looked at her. "I know I’ve upset you. I tried my best to control my emotions. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t hurt you, let alone intentionally deal with him."

Eric would not deal with Clayton intentionally. That would be too silly.

Nicole saw Eric’s change in attitude and thought that Eric had finally thought it through.

She thought about her attitude earlier, which was really unreasonable.

She was at fault too.

"Great. Remember what you said."

Nicole pursed her lips and turned around to leave. Eric suddenly pulled her wrist. It was warm and tense. "Nicole, we’re still friends, right?"

This was the only concession he could make.

Eric could not lose the chance to stand by Nicole’s side.

The difference between "friend" and "boyfriend" was one syllable.

Eric was patient and extremely confident.

Nicole noticed that there was something indescribably wrong with Eric’s mood.

This should not be Eric’s reaction.

However, Nicole did not have time to study it carefully. "Right, friends," Nicole said perfunctorily.

Read Chapter 978 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

When Eric heard Nicole’s answer, he was satisfied and let go of her hand.Nicole finally broke free. She did not even want to say goodbye to him and only wanted to get away from him.’Eric F*ckerson’s mood swings are really puzzling and suffocating!’ Nicole thought.Harvey settled the bill and waited at the entrance of the restaurant. He was carrying several boxes of packed meals in his hand.Nicole was stunned.

Harvey pursed his lips and handed the bag of food over. " I’m afraid that you’ll get hungry later when you’re at the office. The few dishes were already served, so I got them to pack it up."Nicole raised her eyebrows. ’His attitude before and after solving his problem is really so different…’She took it over and asked, "Shall we go together?"

Harvey shook his head, pondered for a moment, and explained."My manager arranged an activity for me. Although I’m not the main character, it’s still important, so I should go."Nicole nodded. After all, his manager’s contract was not with Falcon Entertainment.Harvey should not refuse the activities arranged by his manager.Nicole said, "Then I’ll get going. If you need anything, just look for Dominic. Goodbye."

Harvey nodded his head and watched as Nicole’s car departed before he left.After a few days, Kai casually told Nicole that Harvey was selected as a male lead in a movie.Nicole frowned and discussed with Kai on the phone."He’s now covered in so many scandals. Isn’t being a male lead too eye-catching? Shouldn’t he just play a supporting role and act miserable?"Kai laughed lightly."You’re quite clever, but this script is rare. It’s low budget but high quality. The male lead is outstanding. If his acting skills don’t hold him back, the odds are that he’ll attract a big wave of fans. Let’s wait and see. I hope his luck isn’t too bad."Nicole nodded, smiled, and praised Kai as usual.

"My third brother is really amazing!"

Kai said, "Quit that sh”t. If you really wanna thank me, invite me and Julie to dinner! I haven’t seen her lately…"Nicole retorted, "She doesn’t have time and is clearly avoiding you!"

After that, Nicole hung up. Kai was speechless.Stanton Corporation.Nicole returned to the office.After a while, she received some flowers. Logan brought them up to her. The fragrance was light and refreshing.Nicole looked at the small Swiss lilies in a delicate box and smiled.

"Who sent it?"

Nicole thought that it was most likely Clayton because Clayton gave her these flowers not long ago.Logan said, "Mitchell."

Nicole’s smile froze.

Logan continued, "Since Mitchell is Mr. Ferguson’s assistant, he didn’t just leave it at the reception. He even asked the receptionist to inform me to pick it up."Thus, there was no chance to refuse it.

Eric openly got Michell to come over and send Nicole flowers just to let everyone know that he did not give up on Nicole.So, they should not get complacent too early.

Nicole could not help but grunt. ’That bastard certainly doesn’t have good intentions!’Logan thought about it and mustered up the courage to convey what Mitchell said."Mitchell said to convey Mr. Ferguson’s message, which is, if you don’t like Mitchell to come over, Mr. Ferguson will personally come over to deliver them in the future."That meant that Eric was forcing Nicole to accept it.

Nicole initially wanted to have the flowers sent back, but when she heard that, she immediately dismissed this idea. ’ I don’t wanna see Eric F*ckerson’s face every day!’After some thought, Nicole said, "Then just accept it and give it away. Don’t bring it to me again."Logan was stunned, nodded, and turned around to leave.

After a few days, an uninvited guest came to the door.

Nicole just finished a meeting when Logan came over to tell her.

“Isaac Sloan has been here for a long time.” Nicole frowned. Her face was glum.Since the last time Isaac had visited the Stanton Mansion and proposed cooperation, Nicole had not given him any feedback.It looked like Isaac really could not sit still anymore.

Read Chapter 979 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Not many people knew about Nicole and Clayton’s relationship, so Isaac Sloan would not know about it either.

Perhaps Isaac was thinking that Clayton was still bitterly pursuing Nicole.

Getting Nicole to destroy Clayton was a really well-thought- out plan.

Nicole curled the corners of her lips. "Let him in." Logan nodded, turned around, and walked out.

Afterward, Isaac Sloan walked in fully decked out.

Isaac smiled. He had the superiority of a typical rich man from Liberty. He also looked somewhat self-conceited.

What an exquisite bad guy!

"Ms. Stanton, it’s been a long time…"

Nicole smiled and stood up to shake hands with him. The two of them sat down on the sofa.

Logan brought up the coffee.

"Mr. Sloan, it has indeed been a long time. Are you used to living in Mediania?"

Isaac laughed helplessly. "Isn’t this kind of business trip a common occurrence for people like us? Even if I’m not used to it, I have to learn to get used to it."

Nicole raised her eyebrows and sneered in her heart, but she did not show it on the surface.

"It’s rare for you to visit Mediania. I shouId’ve invited you to dinner, but I was worried about interrupting your business previously. I’m also particularly busy and really can’t get away from work lately. Please excuse me for my lack of hospitality."

A trace of displeasure crossed Isaac’s eyes.

What she meant was that she would not even accompany him for a meal.

She was also saying this to show that he was unwelcomed.

Isaac laughed. "Of course, I also came uninvited. This visit is actually for the cooperation of our companies. Some businesses of Sloan Corporation will soon be expanded to Mediania. By then, there will be more opportunities for cooperation."

He threw out a huge bait and observed Nicole’s reaction.

Nicole just smiled calmly and took a sip of coffee. "That’s something to look forward to."

After all, cooperating with Sloan Corporation was an opportunity that many companies could not even dream of.

’How can this woman be so calm?’ Isaac thought.

Isaac had little patience and spoke bluntly, "Ms. Stanton, have you considered what I proposed last time? The Sloan family has been looking forward to Clayton’s return. My elder brother is on his sickbed and is about to die. If Clayton doesn’t go back to see his father, he’ll definitely regret it."

Nicole paused in her hand movements and slowly put down the cup.

"If that’s the case, you should go and talk to Clayton in person. I believe he’ll make the right choice."

"He refuses to take a step into the Sloan Mansion. Now, he needs someone else to give him a push. Ms. Stanton, in Mediania, your cooperation is vital to his career. As long as you give up your cooperation with him and persuade him to return and work for the Sloan family, he will definitely respect your opinion."

Isaac looked at her like he refused to give up. Nicole lowered her eyes and smiled.

"Clayton is also a vital partner of Stanton Corporation. If our cooperation is abandoned midway, the amount of compensation money is exorbitant, so this won’t be appropriate in any aspect."

"If Stanton Corporation can terminate the contract with Clayton, there’s no need to worry about the compensation. When I bring Clayton back to Liberty, you won’t need to pay the compensation."

Isaac hooked his lips into an extraordinarily bright smile.

Nicole sneered in her heart. "It’s not that I don’t trust you, but in business, empty words and big talk don’t count. This certainly doesn’t give me any degree of trust."

Isaac’s face stiffened. "Ms. Stanton, you mean…"

"Mr. Sloan, if you’re willing, we can get a lawyer to notarize and draw up a contract. If Clayton Sloan pursues the compensation fees, will this be paid by Sloan Corporation or by you personally on behalf of Stanton Corporation?"

Isaac’s smile faded.

Isaac Sloan knew very well that he certainly could not draw up this contract. Once it had legal effect, then he would be admitting a commercial crime.

In Mediania, Isaac certainly could not have free reign as he did in Liberty.

What’s more, once Clayton got his hands on this contract, Clayton would have something over Isaac.

Rumor has it that Nicole was just a spoiled young lady, but she was actually more cautious than anyone else.

Seeing Isaac’s hesitance, Nicole smirked. Her expression was slightly cold.

”The most important thing Stanton Corporation looks for in a partner is integrity. If we don’t have integrity ourselves and even sell out our partner for a small profit, we really can’t maintain our status in the industry. Besides, Mr.

Sloan, we have always kept business and private affairs separate. We will never interfere with the family matters you mentioned. I’m in no position to sway Clayton’s decisions.”

Isaac’s face turned colder by the minute. The temperature in the room also dropped.

Isaac glared at the woman in front of him coldly. A trace of ruthlessness crossed his face.

’She’s definitely a stunned with her looks, but she doesn’t listen. I’ve never seen such a disobedient woman before.’ Isaac thought.

Isaac had played around with countless high-society ladies like Nicole, so he knew what they were thinking about.

They were only superficially disdainful toward suitors.

However, high-society ladies like Nicole wanted to occupy a high position in men’s hearts and dictate the men’s lives and careers so as to seem important.

After the women turned the men’s world upside down, they would quietly withdraw.

At this point, the woman would feel great satisfaction.

However, at this time, Isaac’s dark eyes were fixated on Nicole, who emanated a gentle chill from her body and looked so unapproachable.

’How can she be such a person?’ Isaac was puzzled.

When Nicole saw that Isaac was silent, she smiled and reminded him.

"Mr. Sloan, I’m sorry, but I have an important meeting soon."

’It’s a blatant expulsion order. Can he understand?’ Nicole thought.

Isaac’s face became uncontrollably glum.

His breathing became heavier.

"Ms. Stanton, you’re not willing to give in?"

His words were undisciplined, unreasonable, and condescending with a hint of threat.

Nicole was slightly stunned, but she smiled calmly.

"Mm."

This simple sound was like a slap on Isaac’s face.

It was crisp.

Isaac could no longer sit down and stood up abruptly. He buttoned up his suit in rough motions and said, ”Then I

won’t bother you anymore. Goodbye."

Nicole did not even bother to stand up. She just sat there leisurely and calmly in a very relaxed posture.

"Logan, please see the guest off."

Logan, who was at the door, heard everything and immediately opened the door. "Mr. Sloan, this way, please

Isaac glared at Nicole fiercely and strode out. In twenty minutes, Logan came back.

Logan looked a little helpless.

"After Mr. Sloan left your office, he insisted on going to see President Grant. President Grant was in a meeting, so Mr. Sloan willingly waited."

Nicole raised her eyebrows. ’Isaac Sloan intends to try another way?’

"What did my brother say?"

Logan said, "President Grant had a twenty-minute meeting. After the meeting was adjourned, President Grant didn’t see Mr. Sloan. Instead, President Grant went out with the customer he had a prior appointment with. Mr. Sloan was furious and finally left."

Nicole snorted coldly. Isaac thought that it would be useful to find another person?

Stanton Corporation had a united front in every decision made.

After Logan left, Nicole walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look at the cloudless blue sky outside. She was in a really good mood.

After a while, someone knocked on the door and came in.

Nicole thought that it was Logan, so she did not turn around and waited for him to speak.
