Nicole walked over. Someone immediately went over to open the car door.
Clayton sat inside and smiled at her. âMs. Stanton, youâre so pretty today.â
Nicole smiled and stroked her hair by her ear.
âMr. Sloan, Iâve heard this kind of praise so much until my ears get calluses.â
Clayton froze for a moment, then his smile deepened.
âItâs only right for you to get calluses from hearing this. After all, what I said comes from the heart.â
Nicole rolled her eyes at him. âClayton âs slick tongue must be his natural ability. I really canât beat him
in this aspect.â
The driver hurriedly got into the car with his head bowed and tried to minimize his presence.
Soon, they arrived at the venue.
Clayton got out to open the door for Nicole.
Once they were inside, many people came up to exchange pleasantries.
Nicole chatted for a while and found an excuse to get out, then ran away by herself to sit on the sofa
and breathed a sigh of relief.
In less than a minute, a tall figure stood behind her and smiled playfully.
âDid you just leave me behind like that?â Clayton was amused and annoyed. âShe actually found an
excuse herself and walked awayâ¦?â
Nicole paused. She forgot about Clayton and thought that she came with Grant or Kai. She smiled
sheepishly. âSorry, itâs a habit. I forgot for a moment.â Clayton laughed helplessly. Not far away, Keith
saw this scene as soon as he came in and immediately wanted to cover his eyes. âHow could Nicole
smile so brightly at another man? Isnât this a deliberate attempt to make Eric sad?â
Eric then followed Keith in and also saw this scene. His face instantly turned cold and glum. Keith
laughed. âHey, sheâs just blinded by the freshness of the moment. Donât take it to heart!â
Ericâs gaze was cold as he stared at them for a few seconds and looked away, then strode to the other
side.
Keith immediately sighed with relief. The organizer spoke from above.
âLadies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight âs dinner. In fact, this is a dinner to welcome my friend who
came from Liberty. Please welcome the Chairman of Sloan Corporation, Quavon Sloan!â
Nicole heard this and shifted her gaze.
A refined and elegant feeble old man slowly walked out stiffly, looking sickly pale, but with an energetic
face. As soon as Clayton saw that man, Clayton narrowed his eyes. The mild expression on his face
instantly turned gloomy. Nicole blinked. No matter how slow she was, she could feel that Clayton âs bad
mood came from this nominal father.
From what Isaac Sloan said earlier, Clayton had pushed his father down the stairs, which turned his
father into a cripple, but it did not
look like that.
Chairman Quavon Sloan said some opening remarks and came down to exchange pleasantries with
everyone.
Such a rich financier would surely attract a host of people with other intentions.
Clayton just stayed by Nicoleâs side, somewhat silent. Nicole paused. âYou donât want to say
something?â
Clayton froze, reached out, and stroked her hair with a gentle smile on his face.
âThereâs nothing to say. Heâll come over later anyway. You donât have to say or do anything, just watch
the show.â
Nicole nodded.
In the next second, the old voice gradually approached them.
âThank you for the reception dinner you prepared for me, old friend. Youâre too polite. Although Iâm not
in Mediania these years, I always think about you âDonât worry about it!â
âClayton, have you forgotten all your manners ever since you came to Mediania?â
Clayton, who was named, stood up slowly, turned around calmly, and hooked his lips.
âGood evening⦠Father.â
