Ingrid’s hand was simply bandaged.It looked quite rough.Nicole narrowed her eyes.Quinn, who was on the side, pulled on Ingrid’s arm helplessly.“Ingrid, don’t be stupid. Tyler isn’t a good person. You’ll drag your brother down if you stay!”Ingrid pushed Quinn impatiently.“What do you know? My brother is cooperating with Tyler now, so he’ll surely take care of his brother-in-law since we’re a family! Outsiders can’t influence this cooperation. Don’t you know who Tyler is? So many people want to get connected with him. My brother’s business will definitely get better with Tyler as his partner. I’ve made such a big sacrifice for Eric, so he’ll understand me!”Ingrid raised her head and spoke arrogantly with a smug face.She was too conceited.Quinn stopped talking.Ingrid looked at Nicole and sneered.“You, on the other hand… You’re lucky that Caleb didn’t get to kill you last time, but it’s different this time since you’re in my hands now. The man who just went out is my
Nicole finally breathed a sigh of relief.Falcon said, “Then how should we settle this account? Two of my brothers are dead. Mr. Sloan, don’t you have anything to say?”Clayton’s tone was cold.“The incident happened after your people took the goods, and there was no problem when you inspected the goods. Falcon, we both know what you really want by blaming their deaths on me.”Falcon was silent for a moment, then he laughed.“There are too many goods, so we can’t possibly test them one by one, right? My brothers are just so unlucky to come across those two defective goods. Anyhow, I have no choice but to put this on you.”The situation was tense, and they sounded like they could not reach a compromise.Nicole was so nervous that her palms were sweating.Clayton said, “Fine. If you must blame their deaths on me, then I’ll accept it. Tell me, what’s your condition?”Clayton’s tone was impatient because he did not want to joke about Nicole’s safety.Clayton did not want to talk
Falcon thought that Clayton was hiding, so he ordered his people to look for Clayton.Now, Clayton showed up and had even investigated the matter.It turned out that the culprit was Tyler, who wanted to cooperate with him.Although Falcon liked money and power, he would not take his brothers’ death lightly.He would not sit idly by.Clayton did not care what Falcon wanted to do.If it was not for Nicole, Clayton would not even bother about this matter.However, since Nicole was involved, Clayton would not let that person get away with it no matter what.Nicole paused. She suddenly remembered something and turned around.“The two Ferguson women are innocent. Can you please let them go?”Although Ingrid was head over heels in love with Tyler, Quinn did not seem willing to stay here.If Ingrid and Quinn could leave, Eric might not be put in such a passive position.Nicole did not have any feelings for them. She just thought that they were two innocent lives, so she had no choi
Clayton’s assistant was puzzled. “Mr. Sloan, Falcon won’t let them go so easily. Not to mention, Mr. Ferguson and Tyler are now on the same side…”Clayton interrupted him impatiently.“Even if Falcon won’t let them go, it won’t prevent Eric from rescuing them. Just tell him.”The assistant sighed.“Do you also pity Mr. Ferguson? A domineering president like him has now resorted to cooperating with a bunch of criminals… Why bother? It’s pointless for you to tell him the location of his relatives since he won’t appreciate it anyway…”“Shut up. Why are you talking so much today?”Clayton frowned and glanced at him somewhat strangely.The assistant paused.Although he still had a lot to say, he dared not utter another word.He somehow sensed that Clayton’s attitude toward Eric seemed to be different, as if Clayton was showing Eric mercy.However, it was clear that Clayton did not intend to tell him the reason for his change in attitude.Falcon’s Villa.The thin man was maimed u
Ingrid and Quinn sneaked out from Falcon’s villa.There were not many houses on that road.In the dark, the two women were running as fast as they could along the road.They did not know how long they had been running.Suddenly, a car with blinding headlights appeared in front of them.When they saw the people inside, Quinn’s and Ingrid’s expressions changed dramatically. A sense of despair came over them.The person inside the car said with a cold voice, “Take them back.”......Mediania.Clayton and Nicole got off the plane and saw Grant, who had been waiting there for a long time.Nicole secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she did not see anyone else with Grant, which meant that Grant did not tell anyone about her situation.Grant glanced at Nicole and did not scold her. Instead, he looked at Clayton and asked, “Is it resolved?”Clayton nodded calmly.“Someone deliberately set us up for the accident in SF Corporation, but it’s easy to solve. It’ll just take some tim
Nicole pushed open the car door by herself and saw Clayton standing there, looking tall and handsome.The gentle smile on his face as he looked at her concealed the coldness from before.It seemed that Clayton’s conversation with Grant did not affect his mood.‘Grant didn’t scold him at all?’ Nicole thought.She got out of the car, ran over, and hugged Clayton tightly.Clayton’s chest moved as he let out a low chuckle. He patted her on the shoulder and said, “Babe, if you hug me any longer, Big Brother will regret not beating me up earlier in the car...”Nicole froze slightly and reluctantly let go of Clayton.She was too tired and sleepy on the plane, so she did not get to hug him earlier.Moreover, her conversation with Aida just now suddenly made her feel a strong sense of dependence on Clayton.Nicole stood up straight. When she loosened her grip, Clayton lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently and fondly. She felt like she was electrocuted.No one seemed to notic
After a while, Nicole finally got her wish and managed to hug Chatty’s soft body.Her heart instantly melted.Chatty generously gave her a slobbery kiss, which made Nicole feel like laughing and crying.After all, she should not feel disgusted with her own daughter.During the meal, Tigger played with Chatty.They were not at all worried because Tigger would always stand behind Chatty and act as a pillow when Chatty was about to fall.Tigger, the stupid tiger, thought that Chatty was teasing him, so he ran around endlessly with a small toy in his mouth, trying to make Chatty crawl and chase after him.After the meal, Floyd summoned Clayton to the study for a chat.Grant did not join them. Instead, he took Aida with him to pick up Levi from school.Kai leaned over to Nicole and said, “Did you really go to Yvette’s place yesterday? Why didn’t I see you on Yvette’s social media then?”If Nicole was there, Yvette would not have let her out.Nicole’s heart clenched, and she glare
Nicole and Clayton had been restraining their love for each other all day.When they finally had time alone, they did not push each other away.They embraced each other tightly and expressed their love for each other through their kiss.Clayton seemed to have become a new person. He tried to restrain his strength, but he could not express his emotions properly if he was gentle.When Clayton took Nicole back from Falcon, he never asked her if she was afraid of him at that moment.He was afraid of her answer.So, he changed his question to, “do you miss me?”The surroundings were so quiet that they could hear the clock ticking.Nicole was tired from standing, and her legs felt weak. She could only stand up because Clayton was supporting her waist.Clayton was reluctant to let go of her, so he carried her bridal style back to their bedroom.They finally kissed without hesitation.Clayton seemed to be more aggressive than usual and showed her no mercy.Nicole pushed him weakly
