Nicole's face sunk. "They fought?"
Ian nodded. "Neither was willing to compromise.
Yvette hit him, and Sean yelled at her. Julie already drove out to chase Yvette."
Nicole let go of Clayton. Her tone turned cold.
"Where's Sean?"
"He's still there..."
Before Ian could finish, Nicole had already run out.
Clayton sighed helplessly and chased after Nicole.
In the banquet hall, the small commotion drew the attention of many people.
It was quite lively tonight.
Sean stood at the door. His expression was still glum. His eyes looked out into the darkness of the night, angry but very worried.
A teenage girl stood beside him, looking timid, and hesitantly spoke.
"Brother, did I say something wrong?"
Sean did not answer. Nicole already came out with a gust of cold wind.
Before leaving, she threw a complex glance at Sean.
Nothing was said.
However, Sean opened his mouth to call out to her.
"Ms. Stanton, please, you have to find her. I'm very worried about her safety."
Nicole snorted coldly, said nothing, and got into the car in front of her.
Clayton was about to follow when Nicole locked the door.
His face changed, and his voice was low. "Nicole..."
Nicole looked at Clayton through the window.
"Go home after the banquet is over. I'll call you after I find Yvette. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. If you follow, Yvette will feel uncomfortable."
Clayton was worried about Nicole going by herself, but her last words put his mind at ease.
With that explanation, the frown on Clayton's brows smoothed out.
