Chapter 2067

Holding Back Something Big

Zach could not cover up this matter no matter how much money he put into it.

Countless videos and photos were leaked.

Everyone unscrupulously condemned the cheating couple.

Zach’s assets were frozen.

Someone even leaked information proving that Zach’s property had been transferred to Kirsi’s name.

Nicole and Clayton were eating in the restaurant.

Nicole was a little wary of places with few people perhaps because of the strange and creepy feeling
from the last incident.She planned to move back to the Stanton Mansion in the next few days.

Clayton had been persuading her not to be so impulsive.

Nicole glanced at the news on her phone, looked up at the man who was cutting steak for her, and
smiled.

"You didn’t do this, right?" Clayton raised his eyebrows.

"I did it."

He admitted it so quickly that Nicole was caught off guard.

"Why? Why would you pay attention to such a menial thing?" Clayton smiled.

"Tina always wanted to sell her property to you, and I knew you put a lot of energy into this matter, but
the transfer was delayed just because the document wasn’t notarized.It should be effective since Tina



signed it herself.Now, the biggest obstacle is Zach Gilbert.As long as we can prove that Zach was
unfaithful in his marriage and transferred his property, the public would add fuel to the flames, making
this trivial matter a major incident that must be dealt with fairly.This way, his assets would be frozen by
the relevant departments, and that little actress would also be pressured to respond.Anyway, it’s more
beneficial to you if their situation was more chaotic."

Nicole stared at him blankly and was somewhat shocked by Clayton’s actions.She was still wallowing
in Tina’s sudden death, but Clayton was one step ahead of her and had already thought of a way to
secure the property.

Nicole was negligent.If Nicole had waited for the police to get to the bottom of Tina’s death before
dealing with the property issue, Zach would have already transferred out the property.

Clayton pursed his lips BGr'\kKML looked at Nicole with an enigmatic smile on his gentle face.

"Aren't I clever?"

Nicole nodded in a daze.

Clayton’s eyes flickered.

"Do you wanna learn some tricks? If we go back to the mansion, Dad will reprimand me for using such
despicable methods."

His expression was somewhat innocent.

Nicole blinked.

"He won’t! Doesn’t he like you the most?"

Clayton was slightly aggrieved.



"Only because of you."

Nicole was speechless.It was already dark by the time the two of them finished their meal.

Nicole got in the car.

Clayton also followed suit with a smile on his face.

Just as Clayton was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang.His face darkened slightly when
he took a look at his phone.

Nicole asked, "What’s wrong?"

Clayton frowned slightly.

"I asked someone to monitor Angie’s movements.They said she’s been very compliant and quiet
lately.She even ignored Snakehead’s provocation."

Nicole blinked.

"Is she scared? Or is she just holding back for something big?"

Clayton glanced at her and smiled.

"Don’t think too highly of her.If she has brains, she won’t fall in love with Eric."

Nicole was puzzled.

Clayton put away his mobile phone and motioned for the driver to drive.He picked up the plum juice on
the side and handed it over to Nicole.



"Caleb’s and Tyler’s forces were mostly obliterated, but some insignificant troublemakers managed to
escape.This was why I kept Angie alive.I intended for her to be a puppet to resolve those troubles, but
she shouldn’t be this quiet."

Nicole frowned.

She initially thought that Clayton would hand Angie over to Interpol.It looked like her thinking was too
naive.

Nicole was a little lost.

If this was something related to business, she might be able to come up with some ideas.

However, Nicole was brought up in a proper and conservative environment under Grant’s watch, which
was much stricter than Floyd’s.

Thus, Nicole could not understand such shady business.

She blinked.

"Maybe she’s afraid of you?"

After all, Clayton showed no mercy when they were in Erethea.

The corners of Clayton’s mouth twitched.He obviously did not care about that statement.

The next day, Nicole did not go to the office because she had to attend Levi’s parent-teacher meeting.

Grant and Aida could not find time to attend, so Grant asked Nicole to go in their stead.

Nicole was obliged to go.She really wanted to experience this feeling and took the opportunity to scout
the environment for Chatty.



However, Clayton disagreed with Nicole bringing Chatty with her; reason being Chatty would be scared
at school.

Scared? Nicole did not notice that Chatty disliked going to school.

On the contrary, Chatty was elated whenever she saw many children of her age group.

Early that morning, Clayton took Chatty to the office, saying that he wanted to cultivate Chatty’s
management ability.

Thus, Nicole could only go to Levi’s school by herself.

Nicole dressed up properly since this was her first time participating in Levi's parent-teacher
conference.She could not embarrass Aida and Grant.She deliberately went ahead of schedule and
greeted the teacher beforehand.

When Nicole saw that almost all parents had arrived, she felt that she was not early enough.

Nicole arrived five minutes ahead of schedule, but these parents were earlier than her! However, one
parent was absent.

This was an elite school, so the school had informed all parents in advance, and they would wait until
all parents were present before they began.

After all, these parents were not easy to mess with.

Everyone sat at a large round table, chit-chatting.

Nicole was not that interested, so she walked out.She walked around and came to Levi’s classroom.

At that time, Levi was speaking to another person.



Nicole happily ran in, hugged Levi from behind, and spun Levi around.

She covered his eyes and said, "Guess..."

Before she finished speaking, Levi helplessly replied, "Auntie Nicole."

"How do you know?"

His fair and tender face was a little red as he touched his face.

"I remember your scent.Daddy said that your perfume is specially made for you and that no one will
have the same scent."Nicole clicked her tongue and pinched his little face.

"You’re so smart! I’ll reward you with a kiss!"

Nicole did not give Levi a chance to refuse and kissed his tender and fair cheek.

Levi was really small, so he did not have the strength to fight back.

Otherwise, he would have run far away from Nicole.

Levi pouted and looked at her.

"Auntie, I'll tell Daddy if you don’t attend the parent- teaching meeting!"

"How dare you snitch on me!"

Nicole thought in exasperation, ‘This little Leaf is becoming more and more like Grant!’

As they were talking, a kid appeared next to Nicole.

The kid tugged at Nicole’s clothes and looked up at her cautiously.His clear eyes were very bright.



Nicole paused and realized that it was Chance Ferguson.She was stunned for a moment before she
smiled at the boy.

"Hello, we meet again!"

Chance nodded and smiled silently with a look of anticipation on his face.He seemed to expect Nicole
to hug, pinch, and kiss him just like she did to Levi.

However, nothing happened after he waited for a long time.

The pretty woman just said hello and continued to bow her head to tidy up Levi's clothes.The light in
Chance’s eyes slowly dimmed.
