The Divorced Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 2296 Find Him

Nicole hastily recharged Chatty's smartwatch and left the room.

She went back to her bedroom and had no desire to continue working.

After taking a shower, she lay on the bed without a hint of sleepiness.

She went to look for the medicine prescribed by the psychiatrist, took two pills, and lay down again.

Nicole felt that her current state was very strange.

However, she did not know what was weird about it.

They were obviously close, but there seemed to be an invisible distance between them. Thus, they lacked the

intimacy of reuniting after so long.

Hamilton was right. Nicole and Clayton did not look like a married couple.

Something went wrong between them.

That was the weird part.

Nicole reached out and subconsciously touched her arm. She suddenly felt like hurting herself.

The place she cut herself had a light scar.

Thus, she avoided wearing sleeveless clothes recently, 1

Fortunately, it was not summer.

The corners of her mouth twitched. Soon after, she felt sleepy and closed her eyes.

The next day, Chatty was still excited because she saw her father. She did not laze around in bed anymore and got

up early in the morning wanting to find Clayton.

Nicole coaxed her for a long time before she agreed to go to school today.

"It's Saturday tomorrow, so you can do whatever you want then. Today, you must go to school. You're a sensible

kid, so don’t be stubborn.”

Chatty had no choice but to agree perfunctorily.

No one could stop her from meeting her father.

Chatty lied to Nicole, who watched the two kids enter the school compound before she left.

Unexpectedly, they ran away after half a day.

No one knew if the hole in the school's wall was fixed or not.

At that time, Nicole was having a meeting in the office. When she came out, she saw Logan and Roland whispering.

Seeing Roland at this time, Nicole was reminded of someone.

Nicole's heart sank, and she walked into the office with her usual expression.

Logan and Roland also went in.

"President, Roland wants to report to you about the recent situation at Mr. Sloan’s company. Some things need to

be decided by you."

Roland nodded while he held several stacks of documents.

Nicole glanced at him and thought, 'He probably doesn't know anything yet.’

She chuckled.

Suddenly, she remembered what Roland said about losing an important flash drive in the hotel where Clayton

usually stayed when they were abroad.

Thus far, Clayton's business did not have any problems, which meant that the flash drive was not stolen and

misused by a rival.

The only thing that made sense was that the owner of the flash drive had taken it back.

They were so stupid to be played by Clayton.

If Clayton had no choice but to become Jeff Lieberman back then, what did it mean now?

He had Clayton's face, but what about his identity?

Logan and Roland saw Nicole's expression. They looked at each other and did not know what happened.

Nicole stared at Roland and took a deep breath.

"In the future, there's no need to report to me about his business."

Roland's face changed slightly. He was clueless.

"Madam, this..."

Nicole raised her eyes indifferently.

"Since he's back, I have no reason to watch over his company. He can take care of his own business."

Roland's body stiffened. He was shocked and confused.

"What? Who came back? Do you mean Mr. Sloan?"

Nicole pursed her lips. "You can go to the "S" French restaurant to have a look. In the future, you don't need to send

his things to me anymore."

Since Clayton was back, everything that belonged to him should return to him.

Nicole did not have that much energy to look after them.

Roland’s eyes widened in shock. Before he could react, Nicole had already waved them off.

Logan was also shocked. He went out and returned to his senses.

He watched as Hamilton walked over with a croissant and coffee, looking relaxed and content.

Logan suddenly remembered that Hamilton followed Nicole out yesterday.

He immediately went up to Hamilton and asked, "Hamilton, did something happen yesterday?"

Hamilton asked back, "What do you mean?"

"Did you see anyone?" i

Hamilton looked puzzled. "Who?"

"Someone... Special...?"

Logan did not know what to say.

After all, Hamilton was Nicole’s blind date, so it would be awkward to make things clear.

Hamilton pursed his lips lightly, took a sip of coffee, and shook his head.

"No, everything was normal."

After that, Hamilton continued to tinker with coffee in the pantry on his own.

Logan and Roland glanced at each other.

They felt that something was wrong.

Roland lowered his voice. "Logan, even you didn’t know about this?

Hamilton doesn’t seem to know anything. Is he really stupid or faking it?"

Logan also felt that he was going to be fired for a moment.

According to experience, if he lost the boss's trust, then he would not be able to intervene in their private affairs.

This was not a good sign!

Logan gulped and said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if he's faking it or not. You’d better go there and have a

look to see if Mr. Sloan is really back

Only then did Roland realize that they should not take such an important matter lightly.

"Right. I'll get going then. See you later!"

Logan smiled and nodded. He watched as Logan left and felt confused again. 1

If Clayton was back, how could Nicole be so calm?

This was too abnormal!

Logan also did not expect Hamilton to do his job well.

Roland left Stanton Corporation and did not return to the office. Instead, he went straight to the restaurant Nicole

mentioned.

He could not believe it. If Clayton was back, how could everything be so calm?

Clayton should reappear with great fanfare, and his return should be announced to everyone!

What was this?

It was an uncanny silence.

Roland walked in, and the waiter went over to greet him.

"Excuse me, do you need something?"

Roland paused. "I’m looking for... Mr. Sloan."

The waiter replied with a smile, "Sorry, there's no one here by that name."

Roland breathed a sigh of relief and calmed his emotions.

He knew that Nicole was joking with him.

How was that possible?

Roland smiled and said, "Alright. Goodbye."

He turned around to leave.

At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away that made Roland pause in his footsteps, 1

"Roland?"

Roland froze, turned around slowly, looked at Clayton, who was standing upstairs in black clothes, and frowned.

He thought he was mistaken and rubbed his eyes.

"Mr. Sloan?"

The waiter saw this and left. He did not know that the person Roland was looking for was their boss.

Clayton pursed his lips and did not speak. His eyes were cold and indifferent.

"Why did you come here?”

Although Clayton did not want to announce his identity so soon, Nicole and Eric had already seen him yesterday, so

it was impossible for him to keep hiding.

Clayton just needed time to lessen the shock and other emotions in everyone's hearts.

Roland turned around and quickly walked over. He could not contain his excitement.

"Mr. Sloan, is it really you? You're not dead? I thought you died during the earthquake, and Madam was..."
