It was not that Clayton Sloan had no temper. He just kept his temper hidden.
When Clayton saw that Nicole was being bullied, he could no longer hide it.
Nicole’s heart stalled for a moment. This kind of brazen protectiveness made her heart warm and
comfortable.
Nicole smiled at Clayton to express her gratitude.
There were still so many people around watching. Keith immediately felt humiliated after getting
lectured by Clayton.
Keith thought, ’Who the hell does he think he is?! How dare he lecture me?!’
He was standing on Eric’s side and did not have a good impression of Clayton.
Keith was about to turn around and scold him when he suddenly saw the chill in Nicole’s eyes.
He shuddered and realized that he had just scolded Nicole earlier.
Suddenly, a chill emerged from his bones.
Nicole had Keith’s nudes. If she sent them out, his reputation would be ruined.
Moreover, she was Nicole Stanton!
At that thought, Keith swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue. He looked at Nicole, then
at Clayton. He kept his angry gaze hidden.
Just when everyone thought that Keith was going to make a scene again, he suddenly pulled out a
smile and went in front of Nicole. Keith bowed slightly in front of everyone.
“It was just a slip of the tongue. I’m sorry, Nicole. I was too impulsive. Please forgive me!” Keith smiled
stiffly and carefully.
The people present were undoubtedly close to being scared out of their wits. After all, Keith was the
President of Ludwig Corporation.
Although Ludwig Corporation was not what it used to be and could not be compared with the growing
Stanton Corporation, Keith had been in this circle for a long time. His status was also held in high
regard. Everyone knew that Keith was Eric Ferguson’s best friend. The President of Ludwig
Corporation apologized so humbly just because he said something wrong? For a while, everyone was
shocked beyond words.
However, Nicole curled her lips and was not at all surprised or apprehensive about this scene.
Nicole quietly and calmly swept a glance at Keith. This bastard finally grew a brain and realized the
benefits of admitting his mistakes in time.
Otherwise, Nicole would certainly make him pay.
After a few seconds of silence, everyone was still watching. Nicole smiled faintly and blinked her bright
and beautiful eyes. “I forgive you, Mr. Ludwig, but only this time. Next time, you’d better be careful with
your words.”
Nicole smiled graciously as if she was joking. Only Keith could hear her warning. He felt a tingling in his
scalp in an instant.
For the sake of his dignity, he had to endure it.
Nicole looked at Dominic, who was watching from the side. “Is it time to pop the champagne?” Dominic
understood and replied, “I almost forgot! Come on, let’s raise a glass together…” The surrounding
people’s attention was soon attracted by Dominic.
Keith sighed with relief and looked at Nathaniel indignantly. When he was just about to speak,
Nathaniel blinked and looked at Nicole.
“Nikki, we’ve gone through life and death together…” Nicole stood up and put down the cup in her
hand. At that moment, she did not want to see Keith either. “Get out…” Keith clenched his teeth. He
originally wanted to find trouble with Nathaniel, but he was ruined by his own words.
He could offend anyone at this event, but he offended Nicole, the person he could not afford to offend
the most. After some thought, Keith forced a smile and nodded his head. “Okay…”
Keith turned to glare coldly at Nathaniel, then threw down a vicious sentence. “Manipulative b*tch, just
you wait!”
As soon as Keith left, Nicole could not help but laugh.
However, she had to control her emotions again because Livia was still there. Nathaniel rolled his eyes
at Nicole, then took Livia’s hand to sit down. “He’s not wrong, so laugh if you want…”
