Aida’s expression also became unpleasant.Clayton stood there with a cold look on his face and dark eyes. It was clear that his anxiousness could no longer be restrained by his self-control.Nicole pursed her lips, her face a little pale.“That place is dark. It’s only 10ft away. Did he disappear here?”Aida pursed her lips and nodded.“This place is an aisle, and it’s also the only way for the guests to enter. By right, no one would stay there for more than ten seconds, so how did Lil Michael...”How could he have disappeared here?Nicole looked at Clayton. “Call the police. We’ll search by ourselves before the police arrive. We won’t spare any corner.”Then, she looked at Aida apologetically.“Aida...”Aida nodded at her with extreme tenderness and understanding on her beautiful face.“Don’t apologize. We’re a family. The most important thing now is to find the child.”Nicole nodded and walked out.Clayton stood there. His gaze was fixed on the screen that Lil Michael di
Floyd’s eyes darkened, and his voice was heavy. “Tell him to get out!”There was a subtle chill in the air.Nicole was surprised, but Clayton had already walked down from upstairs.“Nicole, tell everyone to stop. I’ll go out and find him...”Clayton was just about to walk out when Floyd’s cold voice rang out.“Mr. Sloan, you’ve directed and performed a good show and ruined my son’s engagement party. Do you have anything to say for yourself?”Clayton stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Floyd.“I don’t know what you mean, Uncle Floyd...”“Dad, now’s not the time for this. It’s more important to save Michael now. If you have anything to say, say it later!”Nicole opened her mouth and looked at Clayton. “Go!”Clayton pursed his lips. His expression was somewhat obscure.Floyd said, “If the child disappears, isn’t it a good thing for you?”Once those words came out, the room suddenly went quiet.Grant’s expression became grim as he suddenly realized what Floyd me
Clayton’s features carried a hint of dark coldness, and his eyes were full of rage.He seemed like a completely different person.Clayton stepped forward and looked at Floyd. His eyes were cold as he asked, “Who said that?”“I’m asking you if it’s true or not!” Floyd repeated himself.Clayton clenched his teeth. The veins on his face were bulging, and his fists were clenched tightly.“Yes, but please tell me, who said that?”Clayton had a vague answer in his heart. The blood in his body surged, and it felt like the anger was about to gush out.A chill suddenly arose in Nicole’s heart.Clayton’s anger and hatred were obvious. It was vaguely related to his mysterious background, but his background was an untouchable existence.Those existences would make a person crazy.Floyd sneered. “I won’t hide it from you. It was your uncle, Isaac Sloan. He left not long ago. He specially came here just to tell me this!”When Clayton heard the name “Isaac Sloan”, his eyebrows shook fierce
Aida and Grant clearly sensed that something was wrong.Every AI butler would scan through the passing guests every five seconds to check if any strangers entered.In such an environment, it was not easy for an outsider to get in, especially if the person could come in and out without a trace.Apart from Floyd who met him, no one else had seen Isaac’s face.Aida was still wearing her gown, and her delicate eyebrows carried a hint of anxiety.“Should we call the police?”Grant hesitated and looked at Nicole.“If there’s no evidence that directly points to Isaac taking Michael, it’ll be unreasonable to call the police since he came here to attend the banquet...”Even if a report was made, it would remain unsettled.Nicole’s mind was muddled. She jolted up when she heard the words “call the police”.“Don’t call the police yet, Big Brother. I’ll go to Clayton. Finding Michael is the most important thing now. We’ll put aside everything else for now. Help me ask Dad about it.”Gra
Grant and Aida simply freshened up and changed into everyday clothes before heading back.Floyd was still very angry when Grant and Aida returned. When Floyd saw that Nicole was not around, he grew even more furious.The butler greeted them cautiously.“Young Master Kai sent Ms. Nixon back and hasn’t come back yet. The Chairman is scolding everyone he sees!”Grant nodded and sighed before pulling Aida inside.Floyd said, “Why is it just you two?”Grant paused. “If you don’t welcome us, we can leave.”Saying that, Grant pulled Aida’s hand and went out.Floyd snorted. His gaze softened slightly as he looked at Aida.“That’s not what I meant. Too many things happened tonight. It’s been hard on you.”Aida quickly smiled. Her eyes were gentle. “Don’t say that, Dad. It’s just a dinner party. It doesn’t matter.”Floyd nodded. “When you two get married, I’ll buy you an island, so feel free to pick whichever you please...”Aida’s smile stiffened slightly. Even if she knew how wealth
The temperature in mid-March was still chilly, especially at night, where the cold penetrated down to one’s bones.Nicole did not have time to change her clothes. Her dress fabric was too thin, so she shivered from the cold.Fortunately, she had some spare clothes in the car, so she put on a woolen coat that wrapped the graceful outline of her body and also blocked the bone-chilling cold.It looked extraordinarily well-matched.Nicole stepped on her high heels and went into the hotel. Her pace was crisp and unwavering. She went straight to the elevator and found the floor Isaac was staying in.Unexpectedly, as soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw a floor full of his bodyguards.There seemed to be one bodyguard every few feet. ‘What’s this formation? It’s as if there’s some sort of important government official around.’The bodyguard close to her stopped her. “Halt. No one can enter this floor.”Nicole pursed her lips, her eyes cold.“Please tell Mr. Sloan that I’m Nico
Nicole raised her eyebrows and said nothing.That went without saying.Did Isaac want to gain something from giving nothing? He was not worth it.Isaac understood Nicole’s attitude and nodded.A long time passed.Isaac crossed his arms above his knees, moving wantonly.“I know that Clayton has been pursuing you. Did you agree to date him?”Isaac suddenly asked.Nicole frowned. “Why do you ask?”“Curiosity. You’re beautiful and generous, and I’ve already heard about you before I came to Mediania. Clayton is very good at putting on airs, so I’m very curious if you took the bait.”Isaac looked very interested.Nicole lowered her eyes and smiled.“Mr. Sloan, I have many boyfriends. Nine out of ten of them are actors.”There were tons of men who had been in rumors with Nicole.Nicole remembered Clayton saying that they could not let Isaac know about their relationship.She looked at Isaac vaguely and smiled meaningfully.Isaac immediately put on an expression as if he unders
Isaac’s face also changed slightly as he narrowed his eyes.“Why do you care so much about his son, Ms. Stanton?”Nicole looked down on him, her gaze arrogant.“Because I want to. Is there a problem with that?”Isaac’s eyes narrowed as he looked at her cold expression. Then, he suddenly smiled and relaxed.How intriguing.Nicole had the temper of a spoiled young lady. If she was this bold, it seemed to have little to do with Clayton.People always seemed to like that damned brat Michael. Even Nicole was fooled by him.Isaac chuckled. Nicole was actually tricked by a child?It was clear that she was not that shrewd and capable!Isaac raised his hands and smiled. The exposed area of his bathrobe grew larger as if he was deliberately seducing her.“I misspoke. If you need help, I can help you find him.”Nicole pursed her lips, not wanting to look at this filthy man a moment longer.“No need. Since our conversation is going nowhere, I’ll take my leave now...”“Wait, Ms. Stant
