Chapter 2339 Explosive
yton touched Nicole’s head. His eyes deepened, and his voice was warm and clear as he said, “If
you like, I can adapt.”
The two looked at each other just as the elevator opened.
Ian came out to make a phone call, just in time to see the couple smiling at each other with affection.
He suddenly felt like he was forced to watch them be all lovey-dovey.
He coughed and looked at the two with a cheeky smile.
“Aren’t you guys going toe out?“
The two were stunned and walked out with a smile. yton stretched out his hand for a handshake,
but Ian did not shake his hand and hugged him instead. Ian patted yton on the shoulder.
“Wee back, yton!”
yton also patted Ian on the shoulder and felt touched.
“Thanks.”
Ian nced at Nicole and raised his eyebrows.
“Julie came early, but we’re expecting one more — Lance.”
Nicole was slightly taken aback. “He hasn’t left yet?”
Ian lowered his eyes slightly.
“It’s Yvette’s death anniversary soon.”
Nicole did not speak and stayed silent for a moment. yton took her hand and said, “Let’s go in.”
The private room was dimly lit.
When yton opened the door and went in, he heard Lumi singing her heart out while Julie apuded
on the side.
Everyoneughed and said Lumi sang well. When they saw Nicole and yton, they fell silent.
Ian said to everyone, “Come on, let’s raise our sses to congratte yton for his narrow escape
from death!”
yton did not expect everyone to be so enthusiastic. He thought this was just a gathering in his
name.
Thus, he felt a little awkward.
Nicole took his hand and sat down. They were easygoing and took a ss of red wine each to clink
sses with everyone. yton smiled and said something to Nicole, who smiled and nodded.
yton also smiled.
The room became lively again with everyone singing, dancing, and drinking.

Nicole was a little drunk when she watched as Ian went to drink with yton. There was no way
yton could beat Ian in drinking because Ian was an experienced drinker. Ian drank three sses in
a row.
She knew that they would not really go overboard by forcing yton to drink, and the alcohol content in
the drinks was not very high.
Julie had a few drinks, leaned over Nicole’s shoulder, and sighed.
“It’s great that we can still get together like this.”
Nicole agreed. She suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Lance, who was sitting silently
in the corner. Her heart sank a little.
All of these people had their own families and careers.
Lance could have moved on with his life without a care, but he did not.
Although Lance and Yvette had a marriage alliance, it was clear from Yvette’s attitude before her death
that the two of them had long broken through that boundary.
When Lance came back for the first time, he was different from his past calm and spirited self.
He became more reserved and stern.
Nicole heard that his influence in the central region expanded significantly. It seemed that Lance had
devoted all his energy to his work, and the way he dealt with things was more resolute.
Lance seemed to be packing his schedule and forcing himself to be too busy with work so that he had
no time to think about other things.
She sighed and patted Julie’s shoulder.
“We’ll have plenty of opportunities to get together again. Lance hasn’t moved on yet?”
Julie shook her head.
“Aunt Quimbey went to live in Hong Kong. Sheldon Corporation also withdrew from Anta’s business
scene. Lance didn’t attend any business receptions here except for our party. I guess he wanted to
Nicole’s heart was gloomy, and her eyes were a little sore.
“She’s the only one missing, yet she’s the one who loves partying the most.”
Yvette was usually the one hosting such parties.
Julie and Nicole did not know how to persuade Lance. They did not know if they should tell him to
forget about Yvette or persuade him otherwise.
That was because no one could forget about Yvette.
Ian, who was on the other side of the room, patted yton’s shoulder and said with a smile, “To be
honest, during the days you disappeared, everyone really thought you were dead. The sky was falling
for Nicole, and so many people were just waiting to see her embarrass herself. You wouldn’t me me
for posting that picture of you guys, right?”
yton smiled, and his heart ached.
“Of course I won’t.”
“But I’m d you came back, really… Otherwise, Nicole would’ve been miserable. We didn’t dare to
invite her out to parties, and she wouldn’t attend even if we did. She just seemed so out of touch with
us, ya know?”
Ian was a little tipsy, but what he said was the truth.
yton’s eyes were dark. He could not help but clench the cup in his hand. He raised his eyes to look
in Nicole’s direction.
He saw that drunkenness in her eyes. The dim light outlined her delicate side profile, and she was
exuding such tenderness and mncholy.
That kind of sadness seemed like it was stuck to her, and it made yton feel heartbroken.
His heart clenched, and his Adam’s apple bobbed. yton nodded, stood up, and sat down next to
Nicole.
Their palms were close together and their fingers were intertwined.
The two looked at each other with tenderness overflowing from their eyes.
Julie tactfully went back to her seat.
After a while, everyone dragged yton for another drink.
He smiled helplessly and could not refuse.
In a blink of an eye, Julie pulled Nicole out of the room.
Julie saw more and more people on the dance floor downstairs. She smiled and took a deep breath.
She casually pointed to a fat man sitting in a booth below.
Nicole raised her eyebrows in shock. “Whoa!”
“I wanted to buy this ce, but I was a step toote.”
Julie exined.
Nicole seemed to have a vague impression of thedy boss. She was beautiful and had a good figure.
However, her marriage was so unfortunate.
“He’s so bold! Doesn’t his wife know?”
“Why didn’t she get a divorce then?”
Julie shook her head. “Her family is in trouble and needs that man’s help. She’s the only granddaughter
of Orville Nelson, who sold her out for his own benefit. I hope that histe son wille and im
him…” Co?tent of Dr?manovеls
Nicole sighed.
yton came out of the private room and walked over with heavy footsteps.
Julie nced back and went downstairs to dance.
yton hugged Nicole from behind. The faint smell of alcohol on his body instantly enveloped Nicole.
“What are you looking at?”
Nicole hooked the corners of her lips.
“I’ve been here before.”
yton raised his eyebrows and instantly remembered the drunken episode thatnded her in the
hospital.
“You got drunk here?”
Nicole nodded, turned around, and hugged him.
“Did you know? I did it on purpose…”
