Chapter 1660

Small Conflict

Nicole sat on the sofa and stared at her phone, lost in thought.

She checked the flights and saw that the earliest flight to Liberty this morning had arrived an hour ago.

There was another flight that landed ten minutes ago.

However, Nicole was not sure which flight Clayton was on.

Should she ask?

Nicole could ask his assistant, but once she did, Clayton would certainly know.

How would she explain then?

Nicole felt confused for a moment. Her mind was a mess.

During her hesitation, her phone suddenly rang.

Nicole was so startled that she almost dropped her phone on the floor. She quickly took a look.

It was Julie.

Nicole did not know if she was disappointed that it was not Clayton, but she picked up

anyway.

“Jules?”

Outside, Kai was still knocking on the door desperately.



Nicole finally had the strength to ignore it.

Julie’s voice was a little upset.

“There’s a show in Italy in the next two days that’s quite important, so I had to bring someone here
personally. Nothing’s going on at home, right?”

Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Which aspect are you referring to?” Julie said, “What do you think?”

“Kai’s well-behaved and absolutely won’t flirt with other girls. You can rest assured!”

Nicole wanted to bite off her tongue. She looked at the door indignantly and tried to shoot daggers at
Kai through the door.

Julie laughed lightly, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

“Of course, I’m assured. It’s up to him to be self-conscious.”

“Did you guys get into a fight?”

Nicole asked. Kai was clearly at a disadvantage based on what he said earlier.

In any case, Kai was Nicole’s brother, so she did not want either of them to get hurt.

Julie paused for a second before speaking slowly.

“Not really. We just have a difference in opinion. I just want to give him the cold shoulder for a bit so
that he can reflect on himself.”

Julie sighed and said bluntly, “Do you remember the day that you left early from the party?”





Nicole responded. Of course, she remembered.

Julie said, “I drank too much that day. Yvette was taken away by Lance, so the manager got a few
people to take care of me. Yeah, it’s the young hunks that you’re thinking of. But they didn’t do anything
and only took care of me…”

Nicole raised an eyebrow. “My brother saw it?”

“Yeah… He went berserk! He beat those people up and even scolded me. I know that I was at fault, so
I apologized to him. But do you know what happened?! Mr. Superstar told me to shut down my
company and not to work again. What century are we in?! He still has such feudalistic ideas?”

Julie’s tone was tired and helpless. ”You know that I’ll never be able to accept that with what I’ve
experienced before. So, I left on a business trip.”

Nicole paused and cursed up a storm.

“Kai’s such a f*cking psycho! You did well, Jules. Why are you still with him?!”

Nicole could not help but raise her voice.

Julie laughed with joy. Outside, Kai seemed to hear it and knocked on the door with more intensity.

“Nicole Ann Stanton! Are you bad-mouthing me? Don’t try to break us up! Watch how I’ll settle
accounts with you!”

Nicole was not afraid of his threats.

Kai dug a hole for himself, and Nicole only pushed some dirt into it.

Julie heard that and paused for a second.



“Is he next to you?”

Nicole said, “No, he’s outside the door. Grant forced him to come to the office, so it’s his first day at
work and he’s throwing a tantrum…”

Julie instantly understood. “Oh, that’s great! Don’t let him be idle. Otherwise, he’ll keep bothering me. I
need to reconsider our relationship.”

Nicole firmly supported her. Both of them were important to Nicole, so she did not want anyone to get
hurt.

It was best if they could stay together, but if not, they should just break up.

They should not wait until things get irrevocable and start hurting each other before breaking up.

Nicole asked, “But… Did you go on the business trip to avoid him?”
