The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2316

Nicole stood there with her arms folded.

The wind blew and sobered Nicole up. She thought, ‘There’s no need to be unhappy over little things.’

She laughed and said, “It’s okay. I’m glad you get to find your dream. When your first store opens, I’ll ask someone to bring you some more coffee beans from abroad.”

Hamilton readily agreed. “Sure!”

Nicole was speechless.

Hamilton and Nicole chatted happily.

The wind blew the jasmine flowers, which fell on Nicole’s shoulders and hair.

Seeing this, Hamilton casually swept the flowers off her shoulders.

This seemingly intimate scene had a different meaning to it when another person saw it.

Clayton did not know how he felt when he happened to see this scene.

Roland called Clayton to come over because of an important contract, so Clayton had to show up no matter what.

Since Clayton decided to use his real identity to live in Mediania, he had to leave a way out for himself.

He still had to do business and earn money.

Thus, when he went over to the Green Club, he bumped into this scene just in time.

Clayton thought, ‘Why is that annoying young man smiling so happily?’

His eyes turned gloomy.

The way Nicole and Hamilton talked and laughed made Clayton feel defeated, especially when Clayton had decided to open up to Nicole.

Clayton stepped back in pain and hid in the shadow of the door as if he did not exist.

He did not dare to think what if Nicole really gave up on him?

The people in the private room waited for a long time.

When they saw him again, they regained confidence in cooperating with Clayton’s company and renewed the contract.

“Looks like those rumors online that you died in the earthquake aren’t true! Why didn’t you speak out and clarify back then? We really thought something happened to you!”

The other party was puzzled and casually mentioned this after they were done talking about business.

The corners of Clayton’s mouth twitched as he said, “That’s just a rumor, so don’t take it to heart. I was recuperating until now, so it wasn’t convenient for me to show up.”

The other party looked at Clayton’s legs and immediately understood what happened.

However, he did not think much about it and thought that it was a temporary minor injury. Thus, it was not worth making a fuss about.

“If I’d known earlier, I wouldn’t have let you drink with me. I won’t do this again. You can tell me next time, and we can drink tea instead!”

Clayton smiled and nodded. His face was cold and handsome, and he was aloof.

“Ok, we’ll get the chance next time.”

Due to what he saw earlier, Clayton, who usually did not drink alcohol, drank a few shots of strong liquor.

The shots burned his throat, and it felt like his body was torn apart.

Roland watched from the side and could not stop him.

In the end, the business partner was drunk, so Roland booked a room for him upstairs and sent him there.

When Roland returned to the private room, Clayton had already left.

......

After Nicole went to say goodbye to Hamilton, she went home early.

The apartment was empty.

Mrs. Zoe sent her a message earlier saying that she took the two children to the nearby underwater world, so they would only go back later.

Nicole replied. [Sure.]

The quiet house suddenly felt so big and empty to Nicole.

Clayton’s things were kept the same as before, like a thorn in her life that she refused to pull out.

He did not show up, but traces of him were everywhere.

Nicole thought about what Malcolm said.

Clayton actually left her in the hospital alone when she was drunk.

Then, she thought about how Clayton accompanied that restaurant manager to the hospital back then.
