Chapter 1233

Whose Sister-In-Law?

Nicole only met Autumn once at Old Master Ferguson’s birthday party. She had hurried back and left in
a hurry as well.
Autumn always prided herself on being a top student and looked down on people everywhere. She
touted her independence, but she always took pocket money from her home.
Nicole did not have a deep impression of Autumn, but after calculating the years, Autumn probably just
graduated this year and came back.

Autumn also looked at Nicole’s face. Her face was clear, cold, and bright with delicate features. Autumn
had to admit that the woman in front of her was extremely beautiful.
However… Why did the woman look so familiar?
Autumn pondered for a while, and her face suddenly changed.
“Aren’t you, my sister-in-law?”

Autumn pointed at Nicole and looked at her in shock.
Although Autumn did not have an impression of Nicole, she saw the photos of Eric and her that Ingrid
sent her before.
In the photos, Nicole always followed Eric. Her eyes never moved away from him.

Ingrid laughed at Nicole for being a country bumpkin, and that Nicole had married above her social
status. Ingrid’s words were full of disdain for Nicole.

Autumn’s impression of Nicole was a submissive woman who did not dare to speak up in the Ferguson
family. Nicole used despicable means to marry Eric, and no one in the Ferguson family liked her,
including Eric. Nicole had no presence in the Ferguson family. However, this woman in front of Autumn
turned into a different person.



Although Nicole did not speak, the cold and noble trace in her eyes revealed an unattainable feeling. It
was completely different from the impression Autumn had of her. Clayton’s face changed slightly when
he heard that term of address. The polite smile that had been hanging at the corner of his lips suddenly
disappeared. Nicole pursed her lips and spoke calmly.

“Ms. Ferguson, although you were abroad, Liberty isn’t a primitive society, so why did you get the news
so slowly?” News of Nicole’s divorce with Eric had been sensational back then. How did Autumn not
know about it despite being a member of the Ferguson family?

Autumn even called her “sister-in-law”. That was something worth investigating.

Autumn pursed his lips, seemingly a little embarrassed. She looked at Clayton. “Sorry, sister-in-law, I
didn’t manage to react. Are you talking about business with Mr. Sloan? I won’t disturb you then…”
Autumn was very reluctant to leave because of Nicole. However, Autumn knew very well how Ingrid
was driven out to live in Liberty.

Clayton called out to Autumn. His tone was a little cold.

“Ms. Ferguson, I’ll repeat what Ms. Stanton said earlier. I believe you also know that Mr. Ferguson and
Ms. Stanton are divorced, so it’s not very appropriate to call her your sister-in-law. I hope that you’ll
keep that in mind so as not t o cause unnecessary inconvenience to each other.” Clayton’s words were
very disrespectful. He never got hung up about something like this before.

However, because of Nicole…

Autumn’s fists clenched tightly, and she took a deep breath. “My apologies, Ms. Stanton. It was a slip of
the tongue.”
Even Clayton was treating her like that. What kind of spell did Nicole cast on him?
Nicole smiled faintly.



“It’s fine. Just remember it next time.”
Autumn stood there. The atmosphere was a bit off.

Clayton and Nicole could not continue to chat and joke, and Autumn did not want to leave just like that.
Autumn had overheard them before she came over. After connecting it with the recent events in Liberty,
Autumn felt like this was a little hint.

Autumn looked at Nicole. ’Could Nicole really do something that ruthless?’ When Clayton saw that
Autumn had no intention of leaving, he paused and looked gently at Nicole. “I’m sorry for giving you
such a bad dining experience. When we come out to eat in the future, I’ll reserve a private

room in advance so no one will disturb your appetite when we’re eating.”
