Nicole lowered her eyes. "Forget it. I can't drag you into my mess because of my selfish reasons.”
She knew very well that Eric would not believe a simple photo.
Eric was only so mad just now because he did not come to his senses.
Nicole withdrew her gaze and smiled. "Goodnight, Mr. Sloan."
"Goodnight."
She went back to her room.
Nicole took a shower, changed into her pajamas, and was called over by her father to have a video call with the rest of the family.
Grant had some work matters to discuss with Nicole. After the two of them sorted it out, the heaviness on Grant's brow remained unabated. At that moment, Kai showed up on the screen.
Kai yelled, "Are you really dating Clayton Sloan?!"
Nicole knew that Kai was the biggest gossip queen in their family.
"No!"
She was speechless.
Kai let out a sigh of relief.
"That's good. You can have a fling, but don’t take it seriously. If you do, you're really a lost cause."
Nicole was speechless.
Grant said, "K has a point."
It was rare that Grant agreed with Kai.
They were really heartbroken to see Nicole in love because of her humility and cautiousness when she was with Eric back then.
To them, the person who was good enough for Nicole did not exist!
Floyd hung up the call on the iPad. He coughed a little.
"Never mind them. Lil N, you can be with whoever you want, rich or poor. Daddy won't mind. It’s not like we can't afford it, right?”
Nicole blinked and laughed out loud.
"Yes, yes, yes, but I still think that making money is more important. After all, with money, I can have as many men as I want!"
