Nicole was stunned. Her smile froze on her face.
It felt like someone triggered something in her heart.
“Really?”
Nicole did not hear Clayton mention Zuthi before, so she was not familiar with him.
However, judging by Zuthi’s behavior, Nicole thought that he seemed to be very familiar with Clayton. His overly-friendly character was not annoying after all.
Now, few people dared to mention Clayton in front of Nicole.
Thus, Nicole’s attitude toward Zuthi eased a little.
Zuthi sat on the side and said, “Of course! But he doesn’t go there very often anymore. I still miss those times when he was around. By the way, do you know how I got to know you?”
Nicole shook her head.
“You know Samuel Lindstrom, right? Back then when the Lindstrom family invested in the oil industry in South Africa, they took my shares. Later, when he got into an accident, the Lindstrom family withdrew their shares, so I became the main shareholder.”
Zuthi told her about such private business matters to her without any concerns.
She smiled. “Oh? So, you’re Mr. Lindstrom’s acquaintance?”
“We’re not just acquaintances. Samuel Lindstrom is my nephew! We’re very close. It’s just that our direction of development is different. I like the freedom abroad, but they can’t let go of everything in Mediania, so we don’t really get together often.”
Nicole nodded with understanding.
However, what was surprising was that the Lindstrom family was not considered powerful in Mediania, yet they had such an influential relative.
This blood relationship was quite impressive.
“Have you heard? I heard that whatever Sebastian has in store today is illegal in Europe, but he didn’t want to give up, so…”
When Eric saw Zuthi and Nicole whispering and laughing joyously, he stared at Zuthi coldly. His eyes became darker and colder.
Eric’s gaze was so intense that it could bore a hole through Zuthi’s head.
However, Zuthi had always been rich and powerful, so he did not care about what others thought of him.
Zuthi did not notice Eric’s gaze at all.
Finally, Eric could not bear it anymore. He coughed heavily and interrupted their conversation.
“Mr. Camus, I heard that your third wife is going to have a second child soon?”
Nicole was taken aback. She looked at Zuthi in shock.
“Third wife?”
Eric smiled and said in a cold voice, “In South Africa, men are allowed to marry several women. It’s a free country. If it weren’t for this, Mr. Camus wouldn’t have stayed there for so long! I heard that his wives can get along peacefully at home. Mr. Camus, you’re really capable. I should go to you for advice sometime…”
Zuthi paused and did not notice Eric’s hostility toward him.
However, he had a feeling that Eric was not a good person.
They were in public. Even if there were only a few people around, Eric should not have revealed their private affairs in front of a lady.
Moreover, the topics they talked about did not involve their personal relationship status.
Eric was really annoying!
Zuthi took a deep breath, maintained a polite smile, and said to Eric, “Why, Mr. Ferguson, are you envious?”
He sighed and showed off seemingly unintentionally.
“I can’t help it. My wives are precious to me, and they insist on following me. If I didn’t agree to marry them, they would rather die. It’s truly different from Mediania. By the way, Mr. Ferguson, I heard that you’ve been divorced twice? Hahahahaha…”
Zuthi raised his head and laughed while Eric’s expression became darker and colder.
Nicole, who was sitting in the middle, slowly calmed down and wanted to watch this show unfold.
Only a frivolous person like Zuthi could diss Eric so smoothly.
Zuthi would not want to build a relationship with Eric just because Eric was more powerful than him.
