"Nick, how are you? Did you take Clarice out for something good to eat?" "Yes, we just had lunch," Nicholas replied. "So, are you guys talking? Did you have a good conversation? How's the atmosphere for dinner?" Mary's heart burned with gossip flames.Nicholas felt that her question was a bit direct, and he turned to see Clarice looking at her finger with a thoughtful expression. "What are you trying to say? I'm coming back." Nicholas deliberately reminded her."Oh? Haven't you sent her home yet? Alright then, I'll hang up. I won't disturb you; take your time talking." After Mary finished speaking, she immediately hung up the phone.Clarice sensed that something was wrong with Mary's last sentence, and why did her last sentence sound a bit strange? What does she mean by not disturbing them anymore? What does that imply? Did she know what had happened between them? But that's not right; if Mary knew she was with Nicholas before, she should be even more cautious with her. Why did she le

Upon hearing Edward's words, Carlos's face froze, and his smile instantly disappeared, replaced by a dark and angry look. He had always feared his capable and young niece. All these years, his younger brother, Benjamin, had been in poor health, so he was waiting for his health to worsen, anticipating that he would take control. However, he never expected that just as he was about to achieve his goal, Benjamin would actually marry his daughter to Nicholas and secretly make a will. After his death, all his properties and shares in the company would be inherited by Mary.This also meant that when Benjamin passed away, Mary would replace him and become the largest shareholder, thus having absolute authority."I am old, and when I retire, I have no regrets. I am not like Mr. Edward, who is willing to hand over the good fortune left by his grandparents at such a young age." Carlos suppressed the anger in his heart and taunted Edward. "What a pity. At first, I thought you were someone with a

Clarice remained in her original position, stunned for a moment, waiting for the man to leave before coming back to her senses. As she prepared to leave, she heard Nicholas walking towards her.She turned around, and her beautiful eyes moved slightly as she looked directly at Nicholas, a faint smile appearing on her face."Is that so?" Nicholas looked at her expressionlessly, a pair of cold eyes resting on her perfect and beautiful shoulder.Her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she averted her gaze to her own face. Her look made Clarice uncomfortable, and she leaned her body slightly backward, straightening her back and pretending to be calm."If President Nicholas has nothing else, then I will leave first. Thirty-six strategies, fleeing is the best strategy. If I can't provoke him, how can I avoid him?"She was about to leave, but as her skirt was really too long, and her steps were too quick, she accidentally stepped on her skirt and stumbled, causing her body to fall forwa

After hearing these words, Clarice suddenly understood that Nicholas had asked her to leave because he cared about her. And how could she forget that she was a pregnant woman? Not to mention the low temperature here, which made it very easy for her to catch a cold while wearing this. Even if the temperature here wasn't low, as a pregnant woman, she still couldn't stay up late.Why was she so confused and yelling at him?If it weren't for Nicholas, who knows what Edward would have done? Stupid! She was so stupid!"Clarice, shall we? The president is probably still in the parking lot, and you should go and ask him to take you home." Luna saw that Clarice seemed to be regretting her decision, so she patted her shoulders and said."No need, he's definitely angry with me now, so I'll take a bus home." Clarice didn't dare to go see Nicholas."Don't worry, the president won't really be angry with you. Even if he is, it will be easy to persuade him." Luna comforted her."Is that true?" After

There were no streetlights on the road, making it dark, and cars occasionally splashed water on her. It was ten o'clock at night, and she felt cold, tired, and scared. Unable to hitch a ride, she could only walk alone to the city center, and at that moment, the long and elegant dress she wore became a burden. After being soaked by the rain, the long skirt became incredibly heavy as it dragged on the ground. Although the high heels on her feet served her well, they were still relatively new shoes. She had worn them for a long time, and after dipping them in water, her feet were a bit scratched."Bip Bip." Suddenly, two loud horns sounded behind her, and turning her head, she saw a car coming from behind and almost colliding with her. As it passed by her, the driver unhappily lowered the car window and shouted at her."F * ck, are you trying to die, you crazy woman?"Clarice was so frightened that she immediately stepped aside from the road and continued on the dark path. Tears continue
