Lil Michael sheepishly looked away and took the opportunity to slip away.

Nicole laughed and slapped Clayton's arm, chiding him for being too harsh.

"What's the point of scaring him?"

Clayton habitually smiled and took her hand. He squeezed the back of her hand and carried his daughter upstairs.

A few days later, the news about Riley and that delicate girl spread.

Everyone knew that Riley was duped, so Riley felt ashamed. He was not sad, just angry.

After all, he was just playing around with that woman.

Riley often had control over everything in this aspect, but now that he got tricked, he was so angry that he was annoyed at everything for several days. Although Riley did not like that girl much, he spent a lot of money on her because she was obedient and was good at sweettalking.

Now, Riley just felt like a fool.

He put out the word so that the woman would not be able to get any benefits from his connections.

Initially, the delicate girl could still rely on some people in the major film crews to make an appearance in films for a living.

However, she could not do that anymore.

She was truly desperate.

The girl hid at home and was afraid to go out as she was scared that Riley would replace her and settle accounts with her. After a few days, it was Chatty's first birthday.

They did not host a big party after Chatty's first month of birth, so her first birthday had to be grand.

Floyd made it a big deal. He booked a banquet hall and invited many friends from the industry to Chatty's party.

Clayton also designed the venue personally.

Nicole felt a little helpless with their enthusiasm. After all, Chatty only needed a bottle of milk to be happy.

However, Nicole was so happy that she could not stop smiling on that day.

As a new mother, Nicole received a lot of gifts.

She especially liked a diamond bracelet that Clayton customized from abroad, so much so that she simply could not get enough of it. Grant was generous enough to give his little niece a trust fund so that she would not need to worry about money in the future.

Kai invited many celebrities with children to bring their little ones over to play, which added to the lively atmosphere at the venue.

Although Maverick was stuck in the research institute, his gift had already arrived.

It was a bank card.

Nicole did not even have to think about it to know that it must be his latest bonus.

Floyd gave Nicole a set of emerald jewelry and told her that it was worn by her mother, so she should also pass it on to Chatty in the future. Nicole gladly accepted it.

If possible, Nicole would like her birthday to be this grand every year.

The lighting in the banquet hall was soothing.

Initially, Clayton carried his precious daughter to show her off to others.

Clayton was very proud of Chatty. She had beautiful and twinkling big eyes that completely inherited Nicole's advantages. She was so cute, soft, and lovable that everyone just wanted to pinch her.

More importantly, she did not cry in Clayton's arms. Everything was new to her, so her curious big eyes were busy looking around. From time to time, she pointed to the bright lights and made an incoherent sound.

Clayton patiently talked to his baby daughter as if he was discussing something with her.

When Yvette and the ladies arrived, Nicole went over to carry Chatty over to another group of people to admire.

Although Clayton was a little reluctant to part with his daughter, he did not follow her.

Julie and Yvette took turns playing with the baby, making Chatty giggle.

Some people came over to exchange pleasantries, so Clayton had no choice but to go over.

After they were done chatting, the guest had something to do and had to leave first.

Clayton sent the guest to the door and saw a familiar person walking over.

He paused and looked at the oncoming person with a smile. "Welcome, Mr. Crawford!"

Although others might not know who Mitchell was representing, Clayton knew exactly. Thus, Clayton did not even send Mitchell a n invitation.
