The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss Chapters 499
Chapter 499 Clueless Gerard
Lichman could not bring himself to smile because he could clearly feel the tension in the air. Eric’s eyes
were gloomy and cold as he met Clayton’s deep and arrogant gaze without flinching.
“It seems that some people don’t have any self-awareness.” ) “Mr. Ferguson, if you don’t have any, why
should I?” 1 This was considered an official confrontation. Clayton laughed and turned to leave.
Eric snorted. His smile was arrogant and ruthless with a hint of powerlessness. The room was extremely
chilly. The lobby of J&L Corporation.
Nicole stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with her phone. She was o na call and looked
very relaxed as she stared out the window with a faint smile while she held her coat with one hand. while
she held her at with one hand, She seemed pleased with herself. Seeing Clayton walking over, Nicole
hung up the phone.
“Mr. Sloan, is there something else?” Clayton had his hand in his pocket as he smiled at her.

was not good to refuse. Nicole paused and chuckled. “Okay, but it should be my treat.”
She only refused earlier because she did not want to share the same table with Eric Ferguson. Without
Eric there, she had no worries. The two of them got into the same car, which was seen by Eric, who was
standing upstairs.
A thick coldness shrouded his body. The displeasure in Eric’s heart was shown on his face. Even his
chest felt stuffy. Gerard cleared his throat. “Don’t be sad. Leaving together doesn’t mean anything.” He
could only give Eric such dry consolation.
Why didn’t Eric appreciate Nicole back when they were married if he likes her so much?’ Clayton and
Nicole went to a private restaurant.
The customers there were all regulars. It was situated in a suburban villa with a nice environment. The
food served was also delicious. Nicole came here with Yvette and her friends a few times before, but a
reservation was needed to enter.
The restaurant’s business that day was too good. They even met quite a few acquaintances when they
arrived.
Keith Ludwig and Colton White were also there. Since Nicole was not friends with them, there was no
need to exchange pleasantries. They then went to a quiet spot. a Clayton handed her a wet wipe for her
hands and smiled gently.
“I have a feeling that you’re uncomfortable because of that you’re uncomfortable because of what I said
last time?” “Mm, a little.” Nicole was very straightforward. There was no need to hide it. It would be
strange if she was unmoved by it.
Clayton chuckled. “Sorry, that was my fault for being too abrupt, but it was effective.” Nicole said, “I don’t
want to waste time on relationships, but I appreciate your good intentions, Mr. Sloan.”
“Ms. Stanton, may I ask why you rejected me so curtly? Are you dissatisfied with me in any way?”
Clayton’s smile was sincere and genuine, which made her relax. Nicole raised an eyebrow.
“No. If it’s a marriage alliance, you are indeed a good partner, but I can generate the value that a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmarriage alliance will bring by myself.” Clayton instantly understood Nicole’s words. If he was only
pursuing her for the sake of profit and a marriage alliance, sake of profit and a riage alliance, Nicole was
unfazed by it. She was not the type to sell herself for profit.
If it was not for profit, there did not seem to be any feelings to speak of between them.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Clayton’s eyes were gentle as he rubbed his temples. His tone
was apologetic, and his voice was low. “This is poor consideration on my part. I’m not pursuing you for
the sake of a marriage alliance.
What if I said that it was for selfish reasons? I’ve admired you for a long time.” Nicole poured a cup of tea
with lowered eyes. When she heard the last sentence, her wrist shook slightly.
The fragrance of the tea filled the space. A few drops of clear brown liquid spilled out of the cup. It
suddenly felt as if the blazing warm sun was shining on her.
The momentary fluttering of her heart The momentary flaring of her heart made her slightly shaken.
However, she soon regained her composure. Her voice was a few degrees colder than earlier.
“Except for business matters, we don’t know each other well. I can even say that we’re clueless about
each other, so how long exactly is a long time for you, Mr. Sloan?”
