The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 2296

Nicole hastily recharged Chatty’s smartwatch and left the room.

She went back to her bedroom and had no desire to continue working.

After taking a shower, she lay on the bed without a hint of sleepiness.

She went to look for the medicine prescribed by the psychiatrist, took two pills, and lay down again.

Nicole felt that her current state was very strange.

However, she did not know what was weird about it.

They were obviously close, but there seemed to be an invisible distance between them. Thus, they lacked the intimacy of reuniting after so long.

Hamilton was right. Nicole and Clayton did not look like a married couple.

Something went wrong between them.

That was the weird part.

Nicole reached out and subconsciously touched her arm. She suddenly felt like hurting herself.

The place she cut herself had a light scar.

Thus, she avoided wearing sleeveless clothes recently.

Fortunately, it was not summer.

The corners of her mouth twitched. Soon after, she felt sleepy and closed her eyes.

The next day, Chatty was still excited because she saw her father. She did not laze around in bed anymore and got up early in the morning wanting to find Clayton.

Nicole coaxed her for a long time before she agreed to go to school today.

“It’s Saturday tomorrow, so you can do whatever you want then. Today, you must go to school. You’re a sensible kid, so don’t be stubborn.”

Chatty had no choice but to agree perfunctorily.

No one could stop her from meeting her father.

Chatty lied to Nicole, who watched the two kids enter the school compound before she left.

Unexpectedly, they ran away after half a day.

No one knew if the hole in the school’s wall was fixed or not.

At that time, Nicole was having a meeting in the office. When she came out, she saw Logan and Roland whispering.

Seeing Roland at this time, Nicole was reminded of someone.

Nicole’s heart sank, and she walked into the office with her usual expression.

Logan and Roland also went in.

“President, Roland wants to report to you about the recent situation at Mr. Sloan’s company. Some things need to be decided by you.”

Roland nodded while he held several stacks of documents.

Nicole glanced at him and thought, ‘He probably doesn’t know anything yet.’

She chuckled.

Suddenly, she remembered what Roland said about losing an important flash drive in the hotel where Clayton usually stayed when they were abroad.

Thus far, Clayton’s business did not have any problems, which meant that the flash drive was not stolen and misused by a rival.

The only thing that made sense was that the owner of the flash drive had taken it back.

They were so stupid to be played by Clayton.

If Clayton had no choice but to become Jeff Lieberman back then, what did it mean now?

He had Clayton’s face, but what about his identity?

Logan and Roland saw Nicole’s expression. They looked at each other and did not know what happened.

Nicole stared at Roland and took a deep breath.

“In the future, there’s no need to report to me about his business.”

Roland’s face changed slightly. He was clueless.

“Madam, this…”

Nicole raised her eyes indifferently.

“Since he’s back, I have no reason to watch over his company. He can take care of his own business.”

Roland’s body stiffened. He was shocked and confused.

“What? Who came back? Do you mean Mr. Sloan?”

Nicole pursed her lips. “You can go to the “S” French restaurant to have a look. In the future, you don’t need to send his things to me anymore.”

Since Clayton was back, everything that belonged to him should return to him.

Nicole did not have that much energy to look after them.

Roland’s eyes widened in shock. Before he could react, Nicole had already waved them off.

Logan was also shocked. He went out and returned to his senses.
