After a while, Nicole gradually calmed her emotions, but her eyes were still a little red.
Clayton was heartbroken as he wiped the corners of her eyes. He reached out to rub her earlobes and sighed.
"Well, I have a surprise for you."
Nicole looked at him, dumbfounded.
Clayton took out a document from the bag on the side.
Nicole opened it and froze.
"Isn't this the 20% of shares that Mrs. Sloan transferred to you?”
Clayton nodded and smiled.
"Look at the bottom..."
Nicole swept a glance. Suddenly, her gaze deepened.
"You want me to hold it on your behalf?"
Clayton curled his lips as he sized up Nicole. He simply told her.
"Originally, I was concerned that you won't have enough shares, or that Quavon bought others to dupe you, so the situation would be unfavorable to you then. That's why I had someone prepare this document long ago.
Nicole sniffled. "Turns out it's a surprise!” "But the surprise you gave me was even more unexpected. You're one step ahead of me."
Clayton looked at her with a seeming smile.
He would never forget Nicole's actions at the conference hall.
It was not because of those shares, but when those people, including his own father, humiliated and spat on him, only Nicole stood firmly by his side.
Clayton would give up everything to love such a Nicole.
Nicole proudly raised her eyebrows. "You're welcome! It’s all yours anyway. This is the empire I've fought for you, so just accept in peace!"
Nicole sighed arrogantly.
"I originally came over here to vent my anger. I love adding insult to injury, but I really don't like cleaning u p messes. You know, my family is still waiting for me t o make a fortune! Since my elder brother got married, he’s no longer ambitious and doesn't make any more effort. My second and third brothers can’t be counted o n, and Tigger is a fake tiger. It's all up to me alone to support the family!"
Clayton's eyelids trembled slightly. The corners of his lips stifled a laugh.
He thought that she was just joking, but she looked so serious, and did not seem like she was!
"So, you've been planning this for a long time?"
Clayton looked at her.
Nicole smiled. Her eyes curved and looked as brilliant as the sun.
"Of course! I know it's not hard for you. Just think of it as saving money for Lil Michael. In the future, the company will be handed over to him. Our Lil Michael won't just know how to spend money then!”
Clayton was speechless.
