Everyone was too frightened to figure out if it was real or fake. This was not the time to joke.They opened the car door and ran out.Fortunately, for convenience, Nicole and Julie wore flats.However, Yvette was always the most concerned about her image. Even if she was stepping in mud, she had to step on it in high heels.It was not very convenient when she ran.Ian tried to pull Nicole, but Nicole looked at Julie, whose legs had gone numb.Julie’s face was as white as paper.“Ian, you take Julie, and I’ll take Yvette. Don’t waste energy. Hurry up and run!”“Nicole, you have to keep up!”Julie gritted her teeth and ran ahead with Ian.Based on what they learned in school, they should run perpendicular to the direction of the mudslide at this time.However, it was dark all around without a single trace of light.The faint light emitted by their phones in their hands was of no use at all.Since they could not make any judgments, they could only run in the opposite directi

Julie said, “There was indeed a mudslide, but we were lucky. The direction of the mudslide wasn’t in the direction we ran, so we managed to escape.”‘No wonder! We’re really lucky!’ Nicole thought.“But it was a close call. If Clayton hadn’t arrived in time to save us, we wouldn’t have been able to escape if the mudslide spread too widely.”Yvette nodded. “I always thought that Clayton was treacherous and sly underneath his aloof front. It looks like I was wrong about him. I was scared to death when you fell unconscious. Fortunately, he arrived. Clayton knew the weather was bad but still came to find you because he was afraid that you’d encounter a mudslide. To be honest, I haven’t been moved by a man for a long time.”Julie poked her head with a finger.“Is this the time to make heart-eyes at someone?”Yvette rubbed her head sheepishly and sat down beside Nicole.“Anyway, the man appeared in that life-or-death situation. I feel like he’s completely flawless!”Nicole’s chest tr

However, this time, Nicole had some doubts about her thoughts.If it was a coincidence that Clayton saved her during the car accident in Sand City, then what about this time?Clayton could have chosen not to come. Why did he come at this time?His arrival was like a light in her life that gave her hope.The air was silent for a few seconds.Clayton slowly opened his mouth. His voice was clean and clear.“Yesterday was my birthday so I wanted to have dinner with you. With luck, we could have a late supper too.”His eyes were overflowing with gentleness. He smiled unhurriedly when he saw Nicole’s stiff and shocked look.“I couldn’t find you, but I was unwilling to give up. Ms. Quimbey’s staff said that you went to a bar. The bar owner said you left with Mr. Carter. Mr. Carter’s nanny at home said that you guys came to the mountains to watch the meteor shower…”He frowned slightly as he spoke, looking slightly depressed. Then, he suddenly laughed.“I almost gave up at first, but

Yvette ran over and sat down like an obedient student.“Stop keeping us in suspense and tell us!”Nicole paused before speaking slowly.“There’s nothing much I can repay him with, so I can only devote myself to him.”For an instant, the two people were dumbfounded.It was like a small stone that was thrown into a lake, causing a huge ripple.Yvette looked even more excited than Nicole. “We made a bet earlier that you’d rather give Stanton Corporation to him than give yourself to him. What are you thinking?!”Nicole looked at Julie, who gave her a calm smile.Nicole looked at Yvette. “What did you bet on?”Yvette muttered, “That you’d never give yourself to him, but Julie guessed that you would. I just told her that she’d lose!”Nicole could not help but laugh. “Sorry, but you lost!”Yvette could not help but roll her eyes, angry but also happy. ‘Everyone clearly condemned my idea for being rotten when I suggested it earlier! Why did it come true the moment I thought otherwis

The environment here was special, and the conditions were harsh, so there was not even a wheelchair.Nicole sprained her ankle and could only stand with crutches, but there were no crutches around.Ian very considerately found her a small wooden stick and proudly walked two circles around her with it.“It’s just right for you. I really am a great craftsman! It’s not too late for you to change your boyfriend!”Clayton raised his brows. ‘Ian actually dares to seduce Nicole in front of me?’Nicole snorted coldly. “Don’t insult the real great craftsmen. I’ll use this to beat you to death!”The stick was thinner than her arm. If Nicole really used it, then she would end up breaking her other foot as well.Ian pouted. “You can’t even walk but you still want to beat me?”To the side, Julie, who was watching Ian dig his own grave, said nothing.Clayton spoke calmly. “Her boyfriend can do it for her.”Ian paused and laughed in anger. Then, he lifted his feet and went out. ‘So what if
