Nicole nodded. All she cared about was the medical device he brought back from abroad. She watched him use it just now.
The sky was clear and the air quality was exceptionally good.
In a blink of an eye, Aida finished her confinement, and Kenji was a hundred days old.
Floyd hosted a big party for Kenji, which doubled as a celebration of Clayton’s return.
Everyone had no comments about it.
The party was held at the Hilton Hotel.
Floyd invited many socialites, business partners, and friends.
Even Lance came.
There were all kinds of people at the reception with an endless stream of congratulations.
Floyd smiled so much that he had creases at the corners of his eyes. The huge and luxurious banquet hall was packed with people.
Aida recovered very well from her pregnancy and was in a good state.
She stood beside Grant and chatted with the guests while little Kenji was sleeping peacefully in Grant’s arms.
Clayton followed Floyd to socialize with the guests, acting as the perfect son-in-law from before.
Nicole and Julie were sitting at a booth while Kai was busy exchanging pleasantries with guests.
It was a great day.
Julie glanced at Nicole indiscriminately.
She smiled. The light that was as bright as a diamond shone on Nicole’s skin, which made her skin look fair and translucent. Nicole drank some wine, so her skin was slightly flushed.
Nicole was beautiful and vivid. She was like a completely different person compared to the days when Clayton was missing.
Julie smiled and leaned into Nicole quietly.
“Your face has been glowing recently. Did you go for a facial? Or did you and Clayton keep doing it now that he’s back?”
Nicole’s calm face turned red instantly, and she almost spilled the wine in her glass.
She looked a little nervous and embarrassed.
“Julie, you’re getting more unrestrained!”
Nicole glared at Julie with drunken eyes and looked around to see if there was anyone nearby.
She looked like a kitten whose secret had been exposed.
Julie smiled nonchalantly.
“I’m just talking about scientific truth. Don’t deny it. Having sex frequently makes people’s skin glow.”
Nicole’s face flushed, and she could not sit still.
“I’m leaving if you continue this!”
Julie smiled. “Alright, I won’t joke with you anymore. Look, everyone’s surrounding Clayton. I’m afraid that Atlanta’s businesses will be shaken up with his return.”
Clayton had shaken up the business scene in Atlanta when he came to Mediania because no one could compare to his background and skills.
In the business world, the surface seemed calm, but it could be a bloody fight behind the scenes.
When people heard the news of the earthquake, everyone thought that Clayton was dead. Some people were happy while others were worried.
The situation was reshuffled. Even though the company was still around, Roland’s skills could not compare to Clayton, so they stole a lot of businesses under Clayton’s name.
Now that Clayton made a strong comeback without warning, everyone started to panic again.
Nicole looked back with a smile. Clayton followed Floyd with a smile on his face. He had a calm and dignified demeanor that was not arrogant. He was also obedient and humble to Floyd.
Everyone was talking about Clayton’s return.
“Mr. Sloan, I heard that you had an accident during the earthquake. I guess those were all rumors!”
“Mr. Sloan, I hope we can cooperate well in the future!”
“Chairman Stanton, your son-in-law is really outstanding. He’s good-looking and capable. What a rare find!”
