Clayton’s kisses were faint and shallow. Just as Nicole took a breath after getting over her nervousness, she was suddenly kissed again, more fiercely than earlier.

Clayton endured so hard that it hurt. The moment he tasted the sweetness, he went out of control and did not want to let go.

Nicole did not reject him. His body screamed with the idea of devouring her, making every pore of his body sing with thrill and excitement.

However, he simply delicately traced her lips with his tongue, tasting every bit of her and enjoying the hard-won feast.

Then, little by little, he swallowed her into his belly to savor her deliciousness.

Nicole was left breathless by his kissing skills and felt her body go soft. If not for his strong arms holding her waist, her legs would have given out and caused her to fall.

It was just a kiss.

Nicole was embarrassed by her own reaction, and her face was even hotter than the feverish Clayton.

It must be because she had not been surrounded by young hunks for a long time, so her hormones were going haywire!

However, Nicole did not understand how the gentleman who had always been warm and elegant could kiss like a highly intelligent devil.

She could only follow his lead and subconsciously sink down Nicole felt her body heat up. Just as she was about to suffocate, the man finally let her go reluctantly.

His loving gaze was filled with delight. "Breathe…"

His voice was husky and deadly.

Nicole instantly woke up and was able to breathe normally again. Her embarrassed appearance caught the man’s eyes.

Her heart was beating so fast it felt somewhat abnormal.

She suddenly stood up, but her legs were weak and unstable, so she fell again.

Fortunately, the man nimbly dragged her into his arms. He let out a muffled grunt and laughed hoarsely.

"Do you like me that much? Can’t bear to let me go?" Men truly were inherently bad.

Nicole bit her lower lip. Her face almost turned completely red. She struggled to get up and avoided his dark gaze.

”If not for the fact that you’re sick…

She grumbled in a small voice, making excuses for herself. Nicole would not admit that she was bewitched by him. "Don’t move."

The man’s voice lowered a fraction. There was a slight warning in his tone.

Nicole suddenly understood something. She seemed to have accidentally touched a spot earlier.

She sat on his lap and did not dare to move a muscle.

She was so embarrassed that she wanted to just dig a hole on the ground with her toes and bury herself in it!

Clayton gradually calmed his breathing. The red lines in his eyes faded away and returned to their usual pale and warm appearance.

He let go and looked at her with a smile. "Can you still stand?”

Nicole took a deep breath and immediately jumped up. She stood far away from him.

Clayton tidied up his shirt, looking as elegant as he possibly could.

Then, he looked at her seriously.

”I’m sorry, I forgot my manners earlier. Maybe I lost my self- control because of the fever.”

Clayton was completely different from the man who kissed her just now.

Nicole’s face turned red as her brain short-circuited.

"Oh… It’s nothing much. It’s just a kiss, right? I’ll think of it as a mosquito bite!”

She really just said whatever came to mind. She did not even know what she was saying.

Clayton pursed his lips as he looked at her. His expression was very complicated.

He touched his feverish forehead and then ground his molars.

”Did you enjoy it this much when you were bitten by a mosquito?”

He really wanted to laugh from exasperation. Nicole was stunned by his bluntness.

Her face turned as red as a tomato at his implication.

Her beautiful eyes widened, and she pointed at him, stammering, “You… Hoodlum!”

Clayton suddenly smiled and blinked. The love in his eyes deepened slightly.

Nicole’s current reaction was too different from the strong president who often made trending topics with popular idols.

She was lofty but childish, mature but not worldly, and the surprise and fright in her eyes made him feel as if he had just picked up a treasure.

Clayton’s smile was gentle and warm. His deep eyes looked at her.

"Nicole, we’re a couple. This isn’t called being a hoodlum. It’s called love."

He lowered his voice and asked with a smile, "Did you like it?”

The sudden seriousness made Nicole’s face redder. ’Clayton Sloan, you really—!’

She could not fall behind. She had to try and get rid of her blush and racing heart.

However, she did not dare to recall that kiss. She felt like her heart was trembling.

She pursed her lips, steeled her nerves, and gave a serious evaluation.

"It was so-so. The technique was average, but I can tell that it was well-practiced. Mr. Sloan, how many girlfriends did you have, exactly?"

She unintentionally asked about his relationship history. She believed it when he said he did not have any in the past.

However, that kiss earlier was not rusty at all.

Who was he trying to fool by saying he had no experience?

She crossed her arms around her chest and looked at him, gauging his reaction.

Clayton gave a shallow smile and raised his hand very calmly. "You’re the only one. I was self-taught. If you want, we can explore more techniques and I can strive to see what satisfies you."

Nicole froze and suddenly felt that she could not say anything else.

She really felt that she could not win this game. She had never lost so completely before.

Just then, Lil Michael tottered in and broke the ambiguous silence between them.

He looked at Clayton with wide eyes, turned to Nicole, and finally looked at Clayton again. He said sweetly, "Daddy, congratulations! You haven’t died yet…"

The emotion in Clayton’s eyes instantly froze. His lips tightened as he looked at his son. "Thanks…"

Lil Michael blinked. Sensing that Clayton’s mood was not good, the boy went over and hugged his father’s arm, shaking it around.

"Daddy, it wasn’t easy for me to take care of you when you had a fever. I tried giving you medicine, but you refused to eat it!"

Nicole nodded. The scene she saw when she entered the door was that of Lil Michael trying to stuff pills into Clayton’s mouth.

Clayton’s eyebrows twitched as he looked at Lil Michael speechlessly.

"Don’t think I didn’t see it. You took the pills from a box of laxatives…"

Lil Michael did not know. He was still young and only knew a few words, so of course, he did not know what that medicine was for.

He originally wanted to feed all types of medicine to Clayton. There was bound to be one that was effective against fever.

In the end, before he could succeed, the Pretty Lady arrived.

The corners of Nicole’s mouth twitched, and she hurriedly pulled Lil Michael’s hand out.

Turning around, she said, "You should rest for a while and eat something when your fever goes down. We won’t disturb you."

Clayton smiled. The fever medicine had a strong drowsiness side-effect, so his head felt groggy, and he wanted to sleep.

The little energy Clayton forcefully held onto to take advantage of Nicole faded as sleepiness emerged. He fell into a deep sleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Nicole sighed in relief when she went out with Lil Michael.

Fortunately, Lil Michael came in just in time. Otherwise, she really would not know how to deal with it.

"Pretty Lady, why is your face so red?"

Lil Michael’s beautiful eyes looked at Nicole, curious and worried.

“Were you infected by Daddy?”

Nicole pursed her lips and touched her burning face. She took a deep breath to make herself look calm.

“Yeah, it’s quite possible.”

Lil Michael grew anxious and nervous when he heard Nicole say that she was sick. His fair and tender face was full of helplessness.

"I’ll call the doctor for you right away…"

He went to get the phone but was stopped by Nicole. She opened her mouth and felt a little helpless.

Clayton was seriously ill earlier, but Lil Michael had not been as anxious to find a doctor. How did Clayton raise his son?

She smiled and said, "No need. I’ll be fine after taking medicine. Are you hungry? Why don’t I make some chicken soup for you?"

It was better for sick people to eat something light, right? Lil Michael nodded and then shook his head.

"Cooking is too hard. I’ll just go hungry. I can’t let Pretty Lady suffer!"

Nicole’s heart softened and she grinned at him. "It’s fine, it won’t be that hard. It’ll just take a while." Nicole went to the kitchen and slowly let it simmer. The sky gradually darkened.

Lil Michael and Nicole had some soup, and Lil Michael conscientiously went back to his room to do his homework.

Nicole went to the room to check on Clayton again. She touched his forehead. ’Good, the fever went down.’ She breathed a sigh of relief.

Her phone just so happened to ring.

It was from Logan.

Nicole answered it. "What’s wrong?"

Logan said, "President, there’s an urgent document here. The European region needs your signature as soon as possible. If it’s convenient for you…"

Nicole paused and was already used to it. "Alright, send it to my email."

She hung up the phone, left a note on the table, and went downstairs.

Fortunately, they just lived on different floors, so it was very convenient. It would not be too late to come back up when she was done reading the papers.

The computer in Nicole’s study was encrypted. She browsed through the documents and pointed out a few of the more obscure issues, then waited for Logan to redo them.

Time passed little by little.

By the time she finished re-reading the papers, she was so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open.

She looked at her phone. There were no messages or calls.

Clayton was probably still sleeping, so she did not go up to disturb him. She washed up and went straight to bed.

Early morning.

She stretched and walked on her slippers to the bathroom to wash up.

Today was Saturday, but Nicole still had some unfinished work to do, so she could not rest.

The moment she went out, she saw Clayton standing there, holding Lil Michael’s hand.

Clayton finally regained his usual warmth and gentleness. He stood there in good spirits, waving with Lil Michael.

"Good morning…"

Light filled the room when Nicole woke up. She had forgotten to close the curtains and adjust it to sleep mode.

However, since she was awake, she did not go back to sleep.

Nicole could not help but smile. "I slept too late yesterday, so I didn’t go up…"

Clayton nodded, signaling that he understood.

"I know. The soup was delicious, so I finished it all. This is today’s breakfast. Take it to the office to eat!"

He handed over the box in his hand, and Nicole took it. ’He had still been feverish last night, but he got up in the morning to prepare breakfast for me?’

A warm current rushed through her heart as she grew a little embarrassed.

She looked at the grinning Lil Michael and felt a little bad. "You can come in and wait."

Lil Michael shook his head and said seriously, "Daddy said we can’t. We can’t just randomly go into a girl’s house. It’ll scare you."

What a great upbringing!

Nicole rubbed Lil Michael’s head. "It’s fine, I won’t get scared."

Clayton smiled and changed the topic.

“Although I really want to see you off, my face isn’t suitable to meet with others for the time being. Drive carefully…”

As soon as Nicole looked at him, she remembered the kiss from last night and hastily turned away.

She quickly nodded and left.

Lil Michael and Clayton watched Nicole’s fleeing back, and Clayton smiled meaningfully.

Lil Michael said, "Why is Pretty Lady’s face red again? Is she still running a fever?"

Clayton stroked his head. "The bodyguard is already downstairs waiting for you to go to the library. Go on…"

If Michael had not begged and pleaded to wait for a glimpse of Nicole before leaving, Clayton would not have tolerated him until now.

Lil Michael sighed weakly. ’If only Daddy had a fever every day, I'd be able to take care of him at home all day! I’m really the most filial son in the world!’

A few days passed.

Yvette’s mood fluctuated between good and bad, and she insisted on dragging Nicole to do beauty treatments.

Julie was unable to make time, and Ian fought with her the moment they met.

Thus, Nicole had no choice but to go by herself.

The two of them booked a VIP service in advance, so there was a person responsible for receiving them.

After more than two hours, they finally finished the program and lay on the rest chair for an automatic massage.

During this period, Nicole told her about Grant and Aida’s engagement.

Yvette was silent for less than three seconds before laughing in a relaxed tone.

"It turns out that fairy tales are true. I believe in love again."

Nicole knew that the impact of this matter on her was no longer that severe.

Yvette slowly accepted it all.

Sean Moore pestered Yvette for a while after his divorce. When he heard the news of her engagement, he went to the Quimbey family like he had gone crazy.

Unfortunately, Yvette’s mother just happened to be there, and he was kicked out by the bodyguard on the spot.

Rumor had it one of his legs was lame now.

Regarding this, Yvette said that it was none of her concern. He deserved it.

After that, Sean disappeared from Yvette’s world.

The whole world knew about Yvette and Lance’s engagement.

They did a good job with public relations, giving everyone a feeling that they were lovers that were finally getting married, and that they were a lovely young couple who were a great match.

However, in reality, Yvette and Lance had no private contact with each other. Even when they met up, they would ask their assistants to make an appointment in advance.

There were a few minutes of silence.

Suddenly, a familiar laugh was heard walking in from the door.

The mention of Nicole’s name was what got them to notice the voices.

”It’s ridiculous. Nicole is soft and weak on the surface, but in reality, she’s better than anyone at holding a grudge. You guys don’t know this yet, but she was the one who stirred up the trouble that caused me to leave Cyndro International.”

It was Ava’s voice. Yvette looked at Nicole.

Nicole raised her brows. She naturally heard it.

Now, both of them had masks on their face and wore the same clothes, so none of the three people opposite them recognized her as the person they were talking about.

They sat down on the massage chairs diagonally across Nicole and Yvette, looking very relaxed.

The girl beside Ava looked a little familiar.

Nicole could not remember her name, so she was probably from a mediocre background. The elite circles did not take her out much and only let her join insignificant drinking parties.

The other woman used to curry favor with Ingrid. Nicole

remembered her very well. Her name was Macy.

As soon as Ingrid left the circle, this woman also gradually disappeared.

It was probably because Ingrid offended too many people, and Macy followed her example and abused her power, so no one wanted to hang around with her.

Right now, these three people appearing in front of Nicole made her feel very uncomfortable.

However, Nicole did not intend to stand up and leave. After all, since she was the protagonist, it would be a pity if she did not stay and listen to what stories they made up about her.

Ava complained to her new friends spiritedly.

"Believe me. Don’t just look at the fact that Ms. Stanton and Mr. Ferguson are divorced. Her possessiveness of men is really strong. She’s clearly hooking up with Mr.

Sloan, but she’s still longing for Mr. Ferguson. I’m the most direct victim of it!"

Macy asked in disbelief, "Did you leave Cyndro International because she was jealous of you being around Mr. Ferguson?"

"Exactly. I was still fine before Mr. Ferguson’s identity in Cyndro International was revealed. I was about to become the president of the Asian region, but as soon as the news came to light, of course, my exceptional resume would be noticed and attacked. Thus, I was forced to leave Cyndro International…"

Ava shook her head regretfully and sighed innocently.

The other woman said, "I’ve long heard how overbearing Nicole is. No one dares to provoke her, and the ladies in the circle have it drilled into their skulls to not offend her. Ms. York, you just returned to your father, so you might not have known this. In the future, you have to avoid her if you see her!"

Ava was unconvinced and snorted coldly.

"I’m no longer a sheep that can be taken advantage of by others. I have my father to back me up now. Why should I still cater to her whims?"

Macy’s smiled and rushed to flatter her.

”That’s right. Ms. York is also from a wealthy family. What’s the difference between you and Nicole? Besides, you also worked at Cyndro International before and your ability is unmatched. When you take over the company, you definitely won’t be worse than Nicole!"

To the side, Yvette could not help but snicker.

Macy subconsciously glanced over but did not see anything besides two masked women indulging in their massages.

Her attention turned back to Ava. "Also, I think that Ms. York and Mr. Ferguson are more well-matched. Those men are just bewitched by Nicole’s face, but when it comes to ability and background, no one is more suitable than you!"

Ava felt a little flattered at the words.

She originally just wanted to spread some bad rumors about Nicole and ruin her image.

Unexpectedly, these two women were on the same page, so she could say anything she wanted.

Ava laughed. "Sigh, it’s a pity that only a few of us know Nicole’s true nature. Everyone else is blinded. If only the other ladies could realize Nicole’s character in time…"

Yvette could not help but laugh coldly again.

Nicole clicked her tongue. Yvette only knew how to mess things up.

The two of them definitely attracted their attention now.

Macy had become suspicious and sized Yvette up several times.

Her cautious character made her unable to ignore the two women diagonally across them.

Thus, she walked over with a condescending attitude, looking at Yvette with her arms crossed.

"Miss, may I ask for your name? It’s bad enough that you were eavesdropping on our conversation. Why are you laughing so exaggeratedly? Do you have any problems with our conversation?”

As expected of someone who used to follow Ingrid around, Macy was very good at being a lapdog.

Even Ava and the other woman looked over.

Yvette opened her eyes and sneered. Her disdain and mockery were able to be felt even with her mask on.

"Are you worthy of knowing my name?” Macy froze. ’This voice was a little familiar…’

Before she could figure out who it was, Nicole helplessly removed her mask, her smile was completely cold.

”You should pick a proper place if you want to talk bad about others. It’s easy to flop if you’re in public.”

Macy’s body shook as her pupils shrank fiercely. It seems like she did not suffer a small fright!

Nicole’s lips curled. ’Am I that scary? Look how frightened this woman is!’

Ava and the other woman were shocked too.

The other woman immediately stood up and bowed at Nicole.

"Hello, Ms. Stanton!"

Yvette laughed in amusement.

Then, with a disdainful glance at Macy, she tore off the mask on her face.

Macy swallowed her saliva in horror, at a loss. "Ms. Stanton, 1… I didn’t mean to say that—"

Ava glared at her fiercely. Macy was so proactive when she came over to flatter Ava.

Now, she was quicker than anyone in shirking her responsibility.

Nicole did not care about these two women at all.

She looked at Ava indifferently. Her voice was cold with a condescending tone.

"Even if you want to spread rumors about me, it’s useless to go to them. They can’t even brush against the edge of the upper-class circle. They’re just scraps of leftovers waiting to be picked up. How would they have found you otherwise?"

The two women’s faces turned as red as tomatoes. They did not dare to look up, so they could only play dead and keep silent.

What Nicole said was unpleasant, but it was the truth.

Without idiots like Ingrid who were willing to take them to parties, they could not occupy a place in the upper-class even if they tried all their means.

However, they were not capable enough to hook up with men like Eric. Facing those rich men and women who only knew how to play around, their mouths were full of hypocritical shows of affection. There was no hope at all.

They would also be humiliated by others.

Furthermore, those rich men and women preferred internet celebrities who could be bought with money.

If they played with people like Macy, they had to carry the responsibility of their families.

It was too troublesome.

The circle at Nicole’s level was tightly bound and truly looked down upon "lap dogs" like them.

Thus, they could go neither up nor down and could only go to people who were easy to curry favor with.

Ava’s face turned white.

Her confidence faded a little when Nicole exposed her plan.

However, Ava did not have to worry and fear as much as before. She had a powerful family behind her now. She had the same family background as Nicole and was of noble origin.

Now that her father finally found her again after having lost her, he agreed to everything she wanted.

How could Ava be afraid of Nicole?

It was unthinkable!

At that thought, Ava raised her chin. Her gaze filled with arrogance and complacency.

“Don’t say such unpleasant words, Nicole. Do you think you’re that great? Do you think that you’re the strongest no matter where you are? Now that I’ve left Cyndro International, what else can you threaten me with? Don’t forget. My status today is not worse than yours. If you dare to bully me, my family won’t forgive you!”

It was the first time Ava spoke so boldly to Nicole.

Ava felt her entire body relax. It was too satisfying.

Nicole smiled silently with a mocking expression on her beautiful face.

Beside her, Yvette snorted. She really could not stand it anymore. She said, “Your status? Not worse than here? Where did you get the self-confidence to say that? Who are you trying to scare by bringing up your family that’s about to go bankrupt? You can’t even hold a candle to Nicole. Even if your father lives for another thirty years, his wealth won’t reach half of what Nicole has. You’re going to make me die of laughter!”

Yvette mocked without hesitation and looked at the two lapdogs next to Ava.

“You should remind her to recognize the situation and her own identity. Don’t think that you can take bite out of anything just because you went from being a stray dog to an adopted dog!”

Ava’s face suddenly changed.

“How… How could you say something that offensive?”

Read Chapter 997 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Yvette laughed.

"Offensive? I can say even more offensive stuff. Do you think your family will be willing to do everything for you? Stop dreaming. Your family assets were notarized by a lawyer before you came back. You have no share in it. If your ability was so outstanding, why didn’t anyone in your family offer you to join the company?"

Ava’s body shook violently. Her seductive face grew slightly sinister and doubtful.

Slowly, she also felt that something was wrong.

Ava had mentioned her excellent resume many times, but her father had interrupted her and changed the topic.

Her brother and sister also never brought up company affairs.

They all told her to "enjoy life" affectionately.

Ava thought that she had really become the family’s little princess. ’Could it be…’

Yvette was satisfied when she saw Ava’s change in expression.

What was there to pity for a stupid woman who lacked self- awareness?

Nicole was impatient and let out a faint laugh.

"Well, what’s the use of talking about this? Ms. York, for you to recognize your reality, I’ll give you a gift as punishment for making up stories about me behind my back!"

Nicole was straightforward.

She would not put up with it time and time again. It would be fine if Ava settled down.

However, since she could not learn how to settle down, Nicole would let her suffer some losses again for her to remember her lesson.

Nicole smiled faintly. Her gaze was cool and calm as she leisurely left from the side.

The corners of her mouth curled in a small arc.

Her social media must be exploding right about now. She wondered if Ava could continue to laugh.

Nicole and Yvette went to the dressing room to change clothes.

Yvette could not help but ask, "What gift did you prepare?” Nicole blinked. "Check your social media…”

Yvette opened it up.

The video that Nicole posted was on the front page. The video angle was crisp and clear.

Ava’s infuriating voice sounded.

"Nicole brought you here, which means that she still believes in you. Mr. Sage, you have to step up your game! During your contract period, you need to deliberately give reporters and gossip bloggers some scandal. Take a scandalous picture or even badmouth Stanton Corporation’s products in a group chat. That way, Stanton Corporation will be done for!”

There were a few seconds of silence. Then, Harvey’s voice sounded.

"Stanton Corporation won’t be done for. If anything, I’m the first one to be done for! Do you take me for a fool?"

Ava said, "Of course, I won’t treat you badly. I was the one who got you this contract anyway. When this is done, I’ll give you a large sum of money. Even if you quit showbiz, you’ll still be able to live a good life. After all, can you still survive in this circle?"

Yvette’s expression twisted in anger when she finished watching the video.

"What the f*ck! Is this woman insane?"

Ava had gotten off too lightly by just getting scolded earlier. Yvette should have beat her up too.

Nicole smiled coldly. "I want to let her see if her family will still protect her after finding out what she did."

Yvette shook her head. "That’s obvious. That family always prioritizes profit. They’re the same as that old man. Does she think that he’s some kind of loving father?"

Dream on!

Nicole raised her brows. "Then let her expect a miracle!"

This video was intended to be the icing on the cake when Harvey tried to clear his name.

However, it was fine to upload it now too, lest someone kept trying to throw sand in her eyes.

In an instant.

Nicole’s video was forwarded by countless friends to their own social media.

Discerning people all knew that Nicole was "hanging" someone, and the person being hanged was Ava York.

Read Chapter 998 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Everyone got the news about how Harvey became the new spokesperson of Stanton Corporation’s new product.

It was all a trap set by Ava York. Nicole was just retaliating openly.

However, Harvey seemed to give off a different impression for someone who had a reputation for domestic violence.

Why did Harvey seem like a decent person?

Not courting death along with Ava showed that this person could still be redeemed.

It was Ava who was completely hopeless.

Who were the people in Nicole’s social media?

They were business partners, high-end international talents, and countless elites and well-known noblewomen in the circle.

With this, everyone knew what kind of idiot Ava, the person who had just been accepted by her family, was.

Who would dare to continue mingling with Ava?

Nicole and Yvette casually left the beauty salon and ran into Ava who was about to lose control and go crazy.

"Nicole Stanton, are you insane? What was that video? How dare you secretly take a video? You have no regard for our families’ reputation…"

Ava spoke incoherently.

She really hated Nicole’s innate sense of superiority. Although Nicole was not from the entertainment industry, her influence was much stronger than those actresses.

Every time Nicole made it to the trending topics because of a conflict with someone else, the netizens always took Nicole’s side.

It was like they were bewitched. Nicole sneered.

"Wrong. I just don’t care about your family’s reputation. Although our families used to have a good relationship before, we haven’t worked together for a long time. All that’s left is just surface politeness. Also, the ’victim’ in the video is the Stanton family. I believe your father will understand."

Ava’s phone rang incessantly, and she could barely answer all of them. All of them were from people at home asking why she had to offend the Stanton family.

The gentle attitude from before had completely disappeared from their tones.

She finally felt panic!

Ava looked at the calm Nicole and felt her blood surge. A chill rose from the bottom of her feet and invaded her body, penetrating every pore.

Nicole revealed a faint smile of satisfaction and walked forward with her high heels.

"Nicole—" Ava shouted.

Nicole raised her brows and smiled. "Don’t worry about the rest. Your father will come to me personally."

Ava’s apology was worthless.

With Nicole’s position, even if Ava’s father wanted to see her, he had to make an appointment in advance.

In other words, Ava was not worth sh*t.

Nicole left with a flourish. Yvette and Nicole went back to their respective homes.

The people on social media were making huge waves against Ava.

There was no hint of soft-heartedness.

Ava could not stand it anymore. ’I can’t lose everything I just obtained!’

"If I apologize, will you delete that video?"

Ava gritted her teeth and tried to calm down and negotiate with Nicole.

Nicole went straight to Stanton Mansion.

If she was right, Ava’s father would have gone to Stanton Mansion to find her.

Floyd was still fishing and knew nothing about what was going on online.

However, Kai was so angry that he started cursing with expletives.

When Nicole entered, he ran over and snapped severely, "I was wondering why the company was so stupid to insist on that troublesome Harvey Sage. We spent so much manpower and resources to clean up his image. Why didn’t you tell us that the woman was trying to trap you?"

Nicole smiled calmly and looked at him.

"It wasn’t time yet. Back then, I wanted to see what other tricks she had. She just returned to her biological family, so I had to let her have a good day or two, right?"

Kai looked at Nicole with anger. He still felt that Nicole was too soft-hearted.

Read Chapter 999 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

If it were Kai, he would definitely have gotten rid of this woman long ago so that she could not continue mixing around in the circle.

Kai would not have let Ava stay until today. However, it was not too late now.

"Although Harvey didn’t follow her example, he was also someone who was forced here by another person…"

Kai was conflicted and truly disgusted by all this.

"Try your best. It’s best if the official spokesperson isn’t changed. In fact, Harvey’s overall style matches our product very well. There’s always a complex and profound feel to him, and our new men’s watch is being marketed as a luxury product. It won’t fit if we use a young idol instead…"

Nicole explained patiently as the butler brought her a glass of milk.

"Ms. Stanton, someone wants to see Chairman Stanton. He’s an old friend from many years ago. I’ll call Chairman Stanton now."

’Huh, that was quick!’ Nicole raised her head and exchanged a glance with Kai.

Everyone knew that the visitor was none other than Ava’s biological father, Camron Dudley.

Kai sneered. "He still has the cheek to come?"

Nicole pondered for a moment before finding the video in her phone and handing it over to the butler.

"Let my father watch this video before deciding if he wants to meet Mr. Dudley."

The butler nodded, took the phone, and went to the backyard where Floyd was fishing.

Not long after, the butler came back helplessly with a shattered phone.

"Chairman Stanton was too angry and…" Nicole could not help but laugh. "It’s okay…" It was clear that Floyd was indeed very angry! Fortunately, she had a spare phone upstairs.

The next second, Floyd came in through the door, cursing up a storm.

"Camron still has the cheek to come here? I originally felt that he was quite pitiful for losing his child, but it turns out that the child isn’t a good person at all. How dare she try to scheme against us?"

Nicole could not help but laugh.

"Dad, Uncle Camron probably doesn’t know about what Ava did, or he wouldn’t be in such a hurry to come over."

Kai sneered. "Is he coming over for himself? He’s coming for the sake of his son’s company because he’s afraid that we’ll retaliate against him!"

That was the truth!

Nicole raised her brows. "The relationship between the Stanton and Dudley families isn’t that good or bad either. We’re just on regular terms."

In fact, Nicole knew very well that the son of the Dud ley family had gone to great lengths to try to get involved with the Stanton family in the past few years. Although his ability was mediocre, he tried his best to keep his company that was on the verge of collapse.

If they did not have strong capital support, they would be eliminated from the market very soon.

Stanton Corporation never chimed in and had no intention to cooperate with them.

Their production line equipment was old, their management was lax, and they had no advantages.

Acquiring them might even result in trouble down the line.

On the surface, it had a market value of tens of billions, but in reality, it owed a huge debt to the bank.

In less than ten years, their family would go bankrupt.

There was no need.

Only that fool Ava thought she fell into the same golden nest as Nicole.

Nicole pondered for a few seconds and looked at the butler.

"Go tell the visitor that Ms. York wasn’t a member of his family when this happened. We won’t implicate the innocent."

The butler nodded, looked at Floyd, who offered no reaction, and turned to leave.

Kai said, "You’re letting them off easy!"

Nicole said, "Uncle Camron and Dad used to have a good relationship and only gradually grew distant because of differing philosophies. Dad favored the practical work entrepreneurs, but Uncle Camron wants to preserve the achievements of the previous generation. They’re both right. We can’t make things hard for Uncle Camron just because of the distance between our families now."

Nicole glanced at Floyd.

Floyd frowned, then his face eased up with a sigh.

“Lil N is right. I 'm upset at him, but he wasn't the one who raised that child. It mustn't have been easy for him to put his ego aside to come here. Forget it… But that is that, and this is this. That woman dared to scheme against us. I won't just let the matter drop!“

Floyd looked at his daughter and reminded her.

He had an old friendship with Camron, but there was no such thing with that woman.

Nicole nodded. She did not plan to let Ava off just like that either.

Ava wanted to pick a fight, right? Then a fight was what she would get! Before long, the butler came back.

“The guest has left. He looked much better than when he first came, but it still wasn't that good. He also asked what Ms. Stanton likes.“

Nicole raised her brows. The direction Camron was looking at was quite accurate.

If Nicole did not relent, the Stanton family would definitely not relent either.

Floyd scoffed coldly and stood up, cursing all the while.

“Why is he caring about that at his old age?“

It was a last-minute decision that Nicole did not meet him.

After all, Floyd was here and would feel bad if he saw his friend being troubled.

However, it was good to air it out. That way, they would not mention unacceptable conditions as soon as they met in the future.

Nicole thought about it and went upstairs to change her phone. She transferred all the contents in her broken phone to the spare phone.

She stayed at Stanton Mansion the whole day and did not go out.

Tigger was so bored at home that it tried to upgrade its own system. However, it ended up dying.

When Nicole found out, it was hanging on the swing inside the house with a paralyzed face like a dead tiger cub, still draped in Gucci's custom-made small sweater.

She contacted Molly, and after remote manipulation, Tigger came back online.

Nicole asked, “How did it die?“

Molly said, “It mistakenly thought that it had a high Hand was very capable, so…“

Tigger woke up, wagged its tail, glanced around cutely, and pounced into Nicole's arms to pout.

“Wow, what a beauty…“

Nicole was amused. “Stupid tiger!“

“I'm not stupid! Boo hoo hoo—“ Tigger also felt humiliated and pestered Nicole to play with it for a while before it ran off to go fishing with Floyd. After dinner, Nicole took her keys and went out. Clayton had already contacted her several times.

He kept using roundabout methods to ask about her. “Have you eaten? I made a nutritious meal. Do you want to come back and eat?“

“It'll rain tomorrow. Will it be inconvenient for you to go to work from the mansion tomorrow morning?“

“I saw the video you posted on social media and have some pertinent advice. Do you want to hear it?“

Nicole received another message right before she went out.

[I don't have a fever anymore. I promise I won't do anything bad to you!]

Clayton thought that Nicole did not go back because she did not want to face him due to the kiss in the morning.

In fact, he was just overthinking it.

Nicole took a deep breath and wanted to turn around. He touched a soft spot.

Clayton Sloan was really inexplicable.

Along the way, she happened to see her favorite dessert shop still open, so she excitedly went down to pick up a slice of orange cake.

Her self-discipline did not allow her to eat these desserts with impunity.

It felt extremely sinful.

'It's just this once, so it doesn't matter…' Nicole comforted herself.

Back at the apartment, the AI housekeeper automatically adjusted the temperature for her and had her acclimatized in ten seconds.

“Master, shall I put the hot water on?"

This time of day was very suitable for a hot bath!

Nicole hesitated for a moment. “No, put it on in thirty minutes."

She turned around, took the orange cake, and went upstairs…
