Nicole smiled and looked inside.
“Did you rest enough? Were we too noisy?”
When Clayton looked at Nicole, his gaze was warm and soft like it was filled with light. “It’s fine.”
Clayton walked over and stood behind Nicole’s chair. He was tall and handsome, and his gaze was somber as he looked at Autumn.
“Ms. Ferguson, you repeatedly tried to destroy my relationship with my girlfriend. Do I know you? Are we even familiar with each other? Why are you so proud to sabotage someone else’s relationship?”
Clayton’s questioning tone was like a thorn stabbed into Autumn’s heart.
It was shameful and embarrassing at the same time. Autumn had never confessed her love to him.
That was because before she could find a chance to get close to him, he was already with someone else.
The room was silent.
Autumn’s face had turned from red to white.
It was only after a long time that Autumn found a trace of courage to save her image under everyone’s gaze.
Autumn clenched her fists and restrained her body from trembling.
She spoke bluntly.
“Do you think you’ll both be together forever? Nicole is only with you to provoke my cousin Eric. Back then, she was infatuated with Eric and gave everything just to marry him. But what about you? What did she give you after she got together with you?”
Autumn’s voice was trembling and resentful. Clayton’s face sank even more.
The meeting room instantly became chilly.
Even Luca had lost the mood to play games, and his gaze was slightly cold as he looked at Autumn.
Nicole was just about to open her mouth when Clayton reached out and pressed Nicole’s shoulder. His tone was cold.
“Ms. Ferguson, have you never been successful in your own relationships?”
Autumn froze.
Clayton said nonchalantly, “Is that why you can’t bear to see others being happy together?”
Autumn’s face instantly turned glum.
The man she liked humiliated her like this. A normal person would not stay indifferent.
Clayton did not give Autumn a chance to retort. His tone was cold.
“Whatever happened between Mr. Ferguson and Nicole are all in the past. What does an outsider like you have a say in this anyway? Nicole and I have a strong reciprocal relationship. It’s foolish for anyone to give unilaterally, so how can you measure love with how much sacrifice one makes?”
Nicole raised her eyebrows. She was originally annoyed that this reckless Autumn brought up her past marriage with Eric.
She did not expect Clayton to use this to his advantage and refute it so quickly.
Before Autumn could come back to her senses, Clayton coldly gave the order of expulsion.
“Ms. Ferguson, I hope that after you leave this door, you’ll stop mentioning my name again, lest people misunderstand that I’m the same kind of person as you.”
It was not very damaging, but extremely insulting.
Nicole saw that Autumn‘s face was pale and even felt a trace of pity for her.
However, when Nicole thought that the purpose of Autumn’s visit today was to threaten her, this trace of pity quickly disappeared.
Clayton patted Nicole’s shoulder. “Since there’s no deal, there’s no need to talk. Let’s send off the guest?”
Nicole nodded and glanced at Logan.
Logan immediately understood and stood in front of Autumn.
“Ms. Ferguson, this way, please…”
Autumn felt suffocated and vexed. She did not achieve her purpose and was even humiliated by Clayton.
She just wanted to burrow into a hole in the ground because she felt so ashamed.
Autumn snorted coldIy and glared at Nicole and Clayton.
“I’ve come for nothing today. Next time, I won’t come even if you beg me to.”
Nicole thought, ’Why would that ever happen?’
The veins on Autumn’s hands were bulging, and her body trembled with anger.
Autumn then turned around and ran out.
