Chapter 1208 Isaac’s Welcoming Party

Clayton criticized his son in exasperation. “He also plans to go back to school tomorrow. This incident

didn’t traumatize him at all. Instead, it made him soar to popularity in school…”

’What kind of taste do kids have these days?’ Nicole laughed and breathed out a sigh. She was

relieved. Michael had always been naughty, but he should know what he was doing. Otherwise, he

would not have asked everyone to leave in advance.

Nicole said a few words to change the subject so that Clayton would stop nagging about Lil Michael.

Letting Michael grow up carefree was not a bad thing. Clayton suddenly remembered something. “I met

a partner today and heard that Eric’s also in Liberty. You guys wouldn’t happen to have met, right?”

Clayton was wary.

Although Nicole now favored Clayton, Eric had been staring at Nicole and waiting for his chance, so

Clayton had to be even more vigilant. Nicole paused. “I already met him…” She casually told Clayton

how she got in the wrong car today. Clayton was silent for a few seconds.

’I shouId’ve gone with her! It was all that troublemaker Michael’s fault!’ “And then?” Clayton asked.

“Then nothing. Then I had dinner with Naomi and Harvey, and you called when I came back…” Nicole

blinked. Clayton knew that she would not lie, but he was puzzled. ’ Eric didn’t try anything else? That

didn’t seem like Eric’s style and method at all…’ “Maybe he knows that he’s out of luck.

Mr. Ferguson knows his boundaries…” Nicole frowned, not wanting to talk about Eric. “By the way…”

Nicole was just about to tell Clayton about Naomi’s attitude toward Harvey when someone knocked at

the door. She thought it was Logan delivering something, so she opened the door while she was still on

the phone with Clayton. Right as she opened the door, her voice sank and turned colder.

“It’s you?” Her gaze was cold as she looked at the person outside the door. Clayton seemed to sense

that something was wrong over the phone. His voice instantly sank with a hint of tension. “Who is it,

Nicole?” Before Nicole could speak, the man took the phone in her hand. He sneered.

“It’s me, Isaac.” Then, he gave the phone back to Nicole. Isaac looked at her with a smile, not caring

that Clayton knew that he was there. On his turf, Isaac could do whatever he wanted. Nicole took her

phone, the corners of her lips slanting slightly. Her eyes were alert. “Mr. Sloan, what brings you here?”

Nicole would not have opened the door if she knew that it was Isaac.

With the Sloan family’s influence in Liberty, Isaac most likely already grasped her whereabouts the

moment she got off the plane. She was too careless. Isaac looked at Nicole with a sorrowful smile and

leaned against the door frame casually. “Ms. Stanton, we’re old friends, aren’t we? Why didn’t you tell

me that you were coming to Liberty? I would’ve given you a welcome party.”

As soon as Isaac got close, Nicole smelled the stench of alcohol on his body. He must have drunk

before coming. Nicole suppressed the nauseous feeling that rose in her heart. She looked up and said

perfunctorily, “There’s no need for that. I’m here on a business trip, not to catch up with friends.” Isaac

chuckled.

“Business trip? That‘s good. You don’t have time for anything else, but you should have time to have a

glass of wine with me, right? Right now. I found some friends who are dying to meet the legendary

Nicole Stanton… They want to see what kind of person made that bastard Cla on so smitten.” At the

mention of Clayton’s name, a strong hostility flashed clearly in Isaac’s eyes.
