Grant still sent Nicole to Director Sven’s hospital.
The injured area was obviously the ankle, but she got a full-body physical examination.
At this time, Ian and Grant had already left.
Kai waited for Nicole outside with Julie while he sized up Clayton, who was on the side.
Clayton had a faint smile plastered on his face. He clearly looked like he was in a good mood.
Kai could not help but laugh. "Mr. Sloan, are you that happy that my sister was injured?”
Clayton froze. His smile faded slightly as he looked at Kai.
"I'm not happy because she was injured, Kai. Please don't misunderstand.”
Since Kai was Nicole’s brother, Clayton made sure he used 120% of his patience when facing him.
Kai smirked. "Although my dad and big brother told m e to be polite to you, to be honest, I don’t approve of Nicole being with you."
Julie cast a sidelong glance at Kai and wanted to say something, but she shut her mouth instead. There was a trace of helplessness in her eyes.
Clayton frowned solemnly and looked at Kai. He
pursed his lips. "May I ask why?"
Kai smiled. His handsome face was enough to charm everyone who saw him.
"You have money, but that's the last thing our family i s short of. To us, you don't have any special advantages. Also... You have a child with you.
Although the public opinion on the internet some time ago was very unfair to you, it had some points of truth to it, right?"
Clayton's eyes darkened slightly as he remained silent.
Kai smiled.
"Although Nicole has been married before, she will never lower her standards for others. It's pitiful enough that she hasn’t even dated properly once at her age, but we won't be in a rush to let her marry just any man with good prospects who comes up to our door. If it's up to me, I'd ask Nicole to go out more and date more. When she’s finally seen all kinds of people, she’ll naturally know who she wants to get married to. Am I right, Mr. Sloan?"
Those words were incredibly awkward.
Clayton lowered his eyes slightly and curled his lips, his smile warm yet indifferent.
"There's not much benefit to dating too much.
Wouldn't it be regrettable to miss someone you really like? I believe that you should have a deep understanding regarding this."
Then, Clayton glanced at Julie, who was beside him, meaningfully.
The atmosphere instantly turned cold.
Kai’s body stiffened slightly as his eyes widened. He hurriedly looked at Julie.
Julie already took her phone and stood up, then turned around with a calm face.
She did not even look at Kai.
"Hey, I'm in the hospital. I'll be back at the office immediately. The meeting will go on as usual."
Julie finished the call and left, but her back looked a little desolate.
