Chapter 1556 Business Is Very Good
The car drove past Nicole. When she looked up, her face changed dramatically.Through the car window, Nicole saw the girl who had talked to her that night in the back of the car. The girl’s face was bloodied, and her eyes were desperate and empty as she looked out the window.The girl seemed to be looking at Nicole too.In an instant, a wave of nausea rushed to Nicole’s chest. She could no longer resist and ran out to dry heave.However, her stomach was empty. Except for a gag reflex, nothing was thrown up.Caleb’s woman came out from inside and looked at Nicole expressionlessly with some sympathy.“Don’t have such high hopes. This negotiation won’t go so smoothly. It could take a month or even a year.”Nicole paused and abruptly turned her head. “What does he want?”The woman smiled and gaudily stroked her hair.“A lot, such as Eric Ferguson’s forces abroad that are powerful enough to launder money, his contacts in various parts of Mediania, and our men who have been arrested
Chapter 1557 Serious Business
The woman smiled and went over to pat Nicole on the shoulder.“I quite like you. As long as you behave, I can make sure that you suffer a little less.”Nicole blinked. She slowly listened to those words but was not the least bit happy.“Then can I ask where the girl was taken away to?”The woman’s smile faded.Her eyes exuded a slight chill.“I told you to mind your own business.”“An arms dealer still does such a low-level thing as human trafficking?”Nicole’s voice was dry.The woman tugged at the corner of her lips. “It’s just handy and not a big deal. Many people in the world do this. Besides, it’s more than just human trafficking.”“What do you mean?”“It’s fine if you know about it. These women’s stomachs are filled with goods to be sent to the place of need. Then, their mission will be over. It’s a kind of relief. You’re just lucky to be born in a peaceful country with such a good family background. Of course, you won’t understand that such things are common in other
Chapter 1558 Failed Negotiations
In the evening.Caleb came back looking unhappy. He failed to negotiate with Eric.His gaze when he looked at Nicole was getting colder.Nicole guessed it right.Eric would not give in because of her.This was not a matter of money.Caleb’s ultimate goal was to control the global weapons business. He could not do it himself and needed to rely on Eric. That way, he had insurance and could just sit back and enjoy.It was a beautiful dream.How could a woman make his wish come true?Caleb looked at Nicole with an extremely gloomy gaze.“Ms. Stanton, are you sad? You still have to stay here for a while since Mr. Ferguson didn’t agree to my conditions.”Nicole curled the corners of her lips. She obviously knew that there was no hope, but she inexplicably felt more relaxed.“It’s expected. Eric’s not stupid.”“You’re quite open-minded, huh? Do you want to give him a call? Or should I send one of your body parts to him like what I did with Charles Ferguson? What should I send him
Chapter 1559 You’re Not Worth Anything
Nicole wanted to fight for a chance to live.She could not depend on Eric to survive.Caleb waved his hand. “I know, but your family has so many children, and you’re a woman. With Medianian’s patriarchal habits, your siblings must be so happy with one less person to share their wealth with. I can’t get much money from you…”Nicole opened her mouth and stared at him in shock.Really?That was what he thinks?This was the first time Nicole doubted her value. Wasn’t she the Stanton family’s most valuable child?Nicole wanted to say something else, but she just felt her head spinning as it hit the glass so hard that it hurt.The car abruptly skidded to the side.Caleb quickly took out his gun, leaned down, and spoke in an extremely cold and fast tone, “What’s going on?”The driver spoke nervously. “Boss, a few cars are coming in front of us. I wonder if they’re from Snakehead.”Snakehead was their archrival.“How many of them?”“Five cars, all filled with people. Should we rus
Chapter 1560 Hidden
After Caleb finished laughing, he went to arrange their defenses.“Snakehead is really tired of living! How dare he try to cut me off in the middle of the road? If they dare to come close later, just kill them all!”“Don’t worry, Boss. If they dare to come close, not a single one of them will be left alive!”They were extremely arrogant.Nicole wanted to go out and take a look, but she was dragged back.The more she thought about it, she felt that something was wrong.Clayton came for her. Perhaps she was not mistaken.Clayton was here!That meant that it was not Snakehead.If Caleb knew about it, he would probably retaliate strongly.After all, he was still wary of Snakehead. A local mobster was more powerful than an outsider, so Caleb would not care.Nicole suppressed the surge of emotions in her heart. Her face looked a little pale.Caleb thought that Nicole was scared out of her wits, so he got someone to take her back to rest.Nicole was eager to go out and take a loo
Chapter 1561 Change a Location
Nicole felt some fear and uneasiness for no reason.The unknown destination and the people around her made Nicole feel uneasy.Her hand that was placed on her knee slowly clenched up.Caleb, who had been closing his eyes on the side, had opened his eyes at some point.He looked at Nicole sideways as if he wanted to chat with her.“You know what?”Nicole looked at him.Caleb said, “Eric Ferguson bought a flight ticket back tomorrow. This negotiation is over.”Nicole felt terrified at every word that came out of his mouth.His gloomy face had a light and meaningful smile. He looked at Nicole as if she was going to die soon.His gaze that was intolerant yet inquisitive made Nicole get goosebumps all over her body.The expression on Nicole’s face faintly stiffened. His gaze froze for a moment.Somehow, Nicole felt a kind of hopeless chill after Caleb said that. However, after the despair, she felt a kind of relaxation.It was a relaxation that was free from the mental burden.
Chapter 1562 You’re Out of Control
One of the bodyguards followed Nicole from behind.“Ms. Stanton, go upstairs.”It was an unquestionable tone.Nicole pursed her lips. Of course, there was no room to retort.She did not want to clash with these bodyguards. Besides, she found that in the past few days, Caleb had added some medicine to her meals, which drained her energy even when she was awake.Nicole clenched her fists and went upstairs.The room upstairs was extremely small. It was so small that there was only a small single bed without any extra space to put anything else.As soon as Nicole went inside, the bodyguard locked the door from the outside.Nicole’s heart trembled. She hurriedly went over to push the door.“What do you want?”“What’s with the noise? You’ll be released tomorrow. Sleep properly or I’ll find someone to sleep with you!”That last sentence carried a bit of ridicule and threat.Nicole behaved.She did not dare to provoke that person.Nicole would know her outcome tomorrow.She sat
Chapter 1563 Don’t Be Afraid
Caleb, who was outside the door, felt amused and knocked on the door.“Go on, Ms. Stanton, what else do you want to say to Mr. Ferguson?” Caleb put the phone on the floor, not knowing whether to speak to her or to Eric.“Mr. Ferguson, you only have half an hour to come here. If you don’t come over, this place will be detonated, and Ms. Stanton will turn into ashes…”His voice was cold, hoarse, and a little out-of-control.The phone was on speaker mode, so Nicole could clearly hear Eric’s voice.Nicole’s tears kept flowing down her face.“Caleb, don’t you dare touch her!”Eric’s voice was also a bit manic and hysterical.Caleb laughed. “Mr. Ferguson, I’ll give Angie to you since I don’t want her anymore. Whether or not you can keep Ms. Stanton depends on your own ability.”His voice made people feel despair.Caleb knocked on the door and bid Nicole goodbye extremely politely.“Goodbye, Ms. Stanton.”It was as if he expected her certain death.What a way to torture people.
