Clayton laughed.“Oh, you won’t feel guilty. You’re just a demented person! You’d rather brand yourself as a good brother who doesn’t care about gains or losses and old traditions like a son inheriting his father’s business. But then you came to me when Isaac got into an accident. Aren’t you just exposing your ugliness like that?”For a while, Quavon used a lot of effort to control his emotions.Quavon was about to die of anger.“Clayton, who taught you to talk to me like that? Also, you better shut up about all that nonsense!”Clayton shrugged, looking unruly and uninhibited.He did not care at all.He thought that those scandals were too dirty to even listen to.“That’s why you’d better stay away from me. Don’t even try to target me. Oh, that goes for Nicole too. Otherwise, I’ll leak this to the biggest media in the world. They should be very interested.”Clayton finished with a threatening tone, turned around, and walked away. His eyes were gloomy and hostile.“Clayton, I
Autumn just felt like it was not worth it for Clayton to do this.Clayton’s eyes turned to her with an extremely cold gaze.“I’m not part of the Sloan family. Even if you want to daydream, don’t come to me.”Anyone could tell that what Autumn wanted was not just Clayton, but also the entire Sloan Corporation that was within his reach.Autumn was hit even harder.Her face was drenched with tears. Her expression almost collapsed.“You’ll regret this! You’ll definitely regret this, Clayton!”Clayton narrowed his eyes. The unsettling feeling in his heart grew more intense.It seemed to be related to Nicole.However, Clayton could not catch any clues.Suddenly, he realized that Quavon was here and wanted to target Nicole. Quavon would not come unprepared.Then, there was Autumn and her identity. It seemed like she could be of use to help do something.After all, even Eric Ferguson did not know that Quavon came to Mediania.Quavon came to look for Nicole.That was the true dang
Clayton did not say anything much and handed the phone to him.“Call Autumn Ferguson.”Without saying a word, Logan found the number and called it.“Hello?”Clayton took the phone, his tone extremely cold.“Ms. Ferguson, I know you know where Nicole is. Tell me.”Autumn did not speak.After a full three seconds of silence, Clayton could not wait any longer.Clayton loosened the opening of his collar.There was no room for negotiation in his tone.“Ms. Ferguson, Nicole isn’t alone in the Stanton family. After today, if anything happens to her, the Stanton family will come after you. Eric Ferguson loves Nicole so much, so he won’t protect you either. He didn’t even protect his own sister, let alone you. As for Chairman Sloan beside you, according to his temper, he’ll just pay a life for a life at most. He won’t fall out with the Stanton family. In the end, you’ll be pushed out to take the blame. Understand?”Clayton immediately restrained his emotions and calmed down.Autumn
Nicole held her breath for a long time before she dared to turn around and catch her breath.Her pounding was getting weaker, but she still leaned against the wall and kept striking.Neither of her phones had any signal.She was really desperate.......“Why is it taking so long? She won’t become a fool, right?”It was a familiar voice.“Bullsh*t! You bastard, how dare you say that about your sister?! I’ll smack you to death!”“My dear father, I flew for more than ten hours to come back. You didn’t even hug me and scold me as soon as you opened your mouth?”“Get out, out, out—”Nicole heard the noisy and familiar voices intermittently.It was as if there was a great force that pulled her back.Her consciousness drifted awake.The bright sunlight shone outside the window, and the branches swayed.Nicole squinted her eyes and tried to move.However, her hand was squeezed tightly, and she could not pull it back at all.Nicole loosened her strength and opened her eyes to se
Maverick raised his eyes in surprise and looked at her.Clayton’s reaction was the biggest.He took two steps forward but then retreated again.The pained and torn look on his face could not be concealed at all.Nicole’s chest sank, suddenly feeling that she had gone a bit too far.She pursed her lips and looked up.She opened her mouth but could not make a sound.“Let’s go to the hospital...” Kai urged.To the side, Director Sven was also anxious.In a flurry, everyone began to prepare to move to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.Maverick came over with a cup of warm water and brought it to Nicole’s mouth.Nicole looked at him gratefully. ‘Mav is truly my brother! Kai must’ve been adopted!’She finished the cup in one gulp, moistening her throat. That dry feeling instantly dissipated, and she felt much better.Nicole coughed heavily.She looked at Kai. Her voice was still a little hoarse, but she could finally speak.“I remember now. You have to give me a cr
Floyd scolded him furiously. “The difference between the two of you is too big. One is a genius, but the other is an idiot!”Kai was indignant.“Dad, didn’t you share my thoughts too?”“Bullsh*t!”......In the room.Even the quiet sound of breathing became lighter.Nicole looked at Clayton. His features were cold, and the familiar warmth diminished.She reached her hand out, and Clayton went over to hold it tightly as if he never wanted to let go again.“Nicole. Baby, I’m so sorry...”He suddenly hugged her tightly.The taut string in his chest finally snapped.He was really about to break down, especially when he heard Logan say that Nicole went out to find him.That feeling was like his entire world went dark.Nicole patted him twice and smiled.“It’s okay.”There was a pause.She could not help but ask, “Did you find that person?”Clayton was speechless.He struggled to pull himself out of his sad mood.Looking at Nicole’s vibrant appearance, Clayton was also re
Nicole frowned. Before she could speak, Clayton spoke up in a cold voice.“No, Old Master Leonard probably knows about this matter. He also knows that Autumn found that reporter. He just indulged her, but the one who set fire to the warehouse isn’t him.”“Then who is it?”Kai asked.“It’s Quavon.”Clayton’s face visibly stiffened when he mentioned that name.The room was silent for a moment.Floyd’s eyes darkened.“Quavon Sloan is here? Your father?”Clayton nodded. His eyes could not help but turn to look at the dumbfounded Nicole.“I went to find that person who had been sneaking around. They led me to a corner, and someone knocked me out from behind. They came prepared.”In an instant.Floyd became wary.His face also became grim.“You saw him?”Clayton nodded.“He found out the truth behind Isaac’s paralysis, so he secretly came here.”That was why not even Eric Ferguson, who was in Liberty, knew that Quavon came to Mediania.It was evident that Quavon’s power was
Clayton smiled.“Don’t worry. I won’t be that stupid.”He went downstairs.Clayton saw that the butler was asking the servants to set the table.“Clayton, have dinner before you leave.”Floyd spoke from the living room.Kai narrowed his eyes. “You’re finally willing to leave?”A pillow was thrown at Kai’s head, followed by a warning look.Kai closed his mouth.Clayton smiled. “I’m relieved that Nicole is fine. I still have some things to take care of.”Floyd nodded. “Alright.”Clayton said, “I’ll take my leave.”Floyd paused. “Clayton, Nicole’s incident has nothing to do with you, so don’t blame yourself. We know how you feel about Nicole. As long as she’s doing well, we won’t care about anything else.”Clayton’s expression changed a few times. He could hear the meaning of Floyd’s words.The corners of his lips curled up, and Clayton nodded slightly before silently lifting his feet to leave.Kai narrowed his eyes. “You really don’t care?”Floyd looked at Kai.Without s
