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 should’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 tumed 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
o f 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.
