Chapter 1397 Married and Divorced

“Then I won’t hold back. I heard that you were dating Mr. Sloan, but I still feel uneasy without hearing

your answer in person,” Asher said. Nicole looked at him. “When did you learn to be cautious, Mr.

Sullivan?” Asher said, “I learn from my mistakes.” He was just about to offer his farewell when Nicole

chuckled. “Oh, it seems like you learned a lot from Ms. York’s experience.”

There was a sneer in her words. Asher’s expression suddenly changed. He was a smart man and was

the best at reading people’s faces. How would he not know why Nicole was bringing Ava up now? It

was because, from the beginning, Nicole knew that he had an affair with Ava. Nicole just watched as

he played dumb and as Ava walked step by step toward death. Then, when his conscience was about

to be relieved of its full burden, the old story was dug up and his shame was revealed, letting him see

what a despicable and shameless man he was. Asher looked at her quietly for a few seconds and

stood up with a slightly pale face, even as he struggled to maintain his remaining dignity. “I’m sorry to

bother you. Goodbye.”

The arrogance and willfulness were completely gone. Logan did not know how Asher changed so

quickly. However, it must be because of Nicole. Logan knocked on the door and walked in, letting the

person outside come in. “President, your dress for Old Master Carter’s birthday banquet tonight is

ready, and the jewelry was sent from the mansion. Do you want to try it on?” Nicole looked at the time.

“There’s no rush. Put it away for now.” Logan nodded and told the staff to put it in the lounge inside

before withdrawing. Grant came over before noon. He sat across from her and did not speak. Nicole

was puzzled. She just took a day off, right? “Big Brother, are you sick?” Grant rolled her eyes at her.

His gaze was sunken. Nicole choked on her words. Grant said, “Why didn’t Mr. Sloan tell us that he

came back?” “He has his own schedule. Why does he need to report to us?” Nicole was a little guilty.

Grant said, “If it were someone else, of course, there wouldn’t be a need, but it’s you.

A relationship is a lifelong matter, not a product of an impulsive mind. You need to consider it well

before deciding on the way forward.” Nicole’s expression also became serious as she looked at Grant.

“I know, Big Brother. You guys think I put precedence on my feelings because I married and divorced

Eric on an impulse. But I don’t regret it. If I went back four years ago, maybe I would still choose Eric.”

She laughed self-deprecatingly. “

But if I met Clayton first, that might not be the case.” Grant’s brows tightened up and turned glum at her

words. However, after hearing the latter part of her words, his expression instantly became

complicated. After that, his expression stabilized. The implication was that in her heart, Clayton was

better than Eric back then. Grant thought about it, stood up, and did not want to say anything more.

“Just make sure you know what you’re doing. Your sister-in-law is going to cook at home, so I won’t be

going to the banquet tonight. You have full authority to go on behalf of the Stanton family.”

Nicole nodded. She originally thought that it would be livelier if they all went, but after Grant got

married, these social functions were pushed away whenever possible. Grant really seemed like he was

going to spend his life with Aida seriously. It was all thanks to Aida’s good training. Even an ice block

managed to turn out like this. It was certainly not an easy task! In the evening. Due to the Stantons’

deep friendship with the Carter family, Nicole did not deliberately go late and went there early after

getting dressed.

Clayton was also going, but he had some matters at hand and would be a little late. The Carter family

generously booked two floors of the banquet hall, upstairs to talk about business and downstairs for

socializing. Nicole thought she arrived early, but once she got there, she realized that almost half of the

people on the guest list had already arrived. She was not early at all!
