Nicole said, "You actually forgot about it? What a waste of a good horse! It's clear at a glance that this horse can win the championship!"
Clayton said, "Everyone said the same at that time, but if it’s really trained for the championship, there's no telling how many such horses there are. Since I bought it, it won't have to worry about desperately trying to win the championship!"
Nicole shook her head. "Does the horse know how thoughtful you are?"
"Maybe?" Clayton spoke casually.
Nicole choked. "I’m going to start riding. Let's talk later? Oh right, thank you for the gift. I love it!"
Clayton smiled. "I'm glad you like it.”
After he finished speaking dotingly, Nicole hung up the phone.
He shook his head in exasperation. The dull mood he had for a day finally improved.
The assistant on the side knocked on the door and came in. "Mr. Sloan, Chairman Sloan asked to see you."
Clayton paused as his gaze sank slightly.
His happiness dwindled visibly, and his face turned cold.
There was a pause.
"I know what he wants. What do you think people do before they’re on the verge of despair?"
That person was his biological father.
The assistant was well aware of Clayton’s complicated relationship with the Sloan family.
"They’ll probably put on their final struggle. It's better than doing nothing."
Clayton's lips curled. His eyes were cold.
"Turn him away."
The assistant hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Mr. Sloan, this is already the second time. If you keep refusing to see him, there's no guarantee that he won't shift his attention to Mediania or Michael."
As soon as the assistant finished speaking, Clayton's eyes instantly shrank and cooled down with a hint of ruthlessness.
Clayton gritted his teeth secretly. There seemed to be a slight crack on his warm and modest face.
"Let him in."
The assistant nodded and turned to walk out.
Clayton did not want to meet Quavon. He did not want to appreciate the despair or bitterly pleading attitude o n Quavon's face.
