After a while, Nicole gradually calmed her emotions, but her eyes were still a little red.
Clayton was heartbroken as he wiped the corners of her eyes. He reached out to rub her earlobes and sighed.
“Well, I have a surprise for you.” Nicole looked at him, dumbfounded.
Clayton took out a document from the bag on the side. Nicole opened it and froze.
“Isn’t this the 20% of shares that Mrs. Sloan transferred to you?”
Clayton nodded and smiled.
“Look at the bottom…”
Nicole swept a glance. Suddenly, her gaze deepened. “You want me to hold it on your behalf?”
Clayton curled his lips as he sized up Nicole. He simply told her.
“Originally, I was concerned that you won’t have enough shares, or that Quavon bought others to dupe you, so the situation would be unfavorable to you then. That’s why I had someone prepare this document long ago.”
Nicole sniffled. “Turns out it’s a surprise!”
“But the surprise you gave me was even more unexpected. You’re one step ahead of me.”
Clayton looked at her with a seeming smile.
He would never forget Nicole’s actions at the conference hall.
It was not because of those shares, but when those people, including his own father, humiliated and spat on him, only Nicole stood firmly by his side.
Clayton would give up everything to love such a Nicole.
Nicole proudly raised her eyebrows. “You’re welcome! It’s all yours anyway. This is the empire I’ve fought for you, so just accept in peace!”
Clayton did not know whether to laugh or cry as he stood there. He let go of her and spoke solemnly.
“But I don’t want to take over. Since it’s all yours, just keep it and find a professional manager to help you manage it. To be honest, although Sloan Corporation has been going downhill in the past few years, there are still many people who entrust their whole lives to this company.”
Nicole wrinkled her eyebrows. “The best candidate is you, o f course! This should belong to you anyway.”
Clayton frowned slightly. His lips were taut.
“Everything about the Sloan family has nothing to do with me.”
Nicole paused and reached out to take his hand.
“I know what you’re thinking. Of course, you don’t care about this soon-to-be bankrupt Sloan Corporation that takes up so much effort, but you should think about Lil Michael. If you don’t want it, won’t others get this bargain? Once I leave, Quavon’s people will certainly come back. Do you want Sloan Corporation to fall back into his hands? Will he still give it back to Michael by then?”
Clayton’s face instantly turned gloomy.
He had thought about this, but wouldn’t Nicole have
worked this hard for nothing? Nicole sighed arrogantly.
“I originally came over here to vent my anger. I love add ing insult to injury, but I really don’t like cleaning up messes. You know, my family is still waiting for me to make a fortune! Since my elder brother got married, he’s no longer ambitious and doesn’t make any more effort. My second and third brothers can’t be counted on, and Tigger is a fake tiger. It’s all up to me alone to support the family!”
Clayton’s eyelids trembled slightly.
The corners of his lips stifled a laugh.
He thought that she was just joking, but she looked so serious, and did not seem like she was!
“So, you’ve been planning this for a long time?” Clayton looked at her.
Nicole smiled. Her eyes curved and looked as brilliant as the sun.
“Of course!
I know it’s not hard for you. Just think of it as saving money for Lil Michael. In the future, the company will be handed over to him. Our Lil Michael won’t just know how to spend money then!”
Clayton was speechless.
