Midway through the meeting.
Nicole received several phone calls and text messages from Xander.
She did not answer.
His text messages came one after another.
[Ms. Stanton, you have to believe me... This is all a trap by Mr. Ferguson and Yuliana. They set me up!]
[Ms. Stanton, I respect and like you very much. The first time I saw you, I knew that you were unique. I approached you with great respect and sacredness and love you so much...]
[Ms. Stanton, please save me. I don’t want my career to end. I still have a long way to go in life...]
Nicole swept a glance and immediately felt a gag reflex. She felt extremely disgusted.
'I was so blind! How could I think to support such a rotten person before?!’
Without hesitation, Nicole blocked Xander.
In the meantime, she also sent a text message to Dominic. [Tell Xander to get lost, the farther the better!]
Nicole did not want to care anymore. What was supposed to be her money tree became a value trap. This was simply a big, failed investment to Nicole.
Applause erupted in the meeting.
The host invited the next speaker.
Clayton smiled, stood up, and lowered his head to look at Nicole as he spoke softly, "It's my turn to go on. If I slip up, please correct me."
Nicole clenched her fist in a cheering gesture.
Clayton walked up with smiling eyes and instantly became the center of attention. The whole room quieted down.
He was tall and well-built. His movements were elegant, and his aura was calm and steady. His sharpness was hidden under his modest eyes, which gave others the impression that he was gentle.
However, an inadvertent glance would vaguely reveal his cold profundity.
