Clayton's tone was cold, and his eyes were gloomy.“You still don’t want to admit it, huh? Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you admit it or not. I’ll still hold you accountable since Nicole was hurt in your hands.”Angie covered her face and cried miserably. She was vulnerable and wretched.“It wasn’t me! It really wasn’t me! Let me go!”Clayton sneered coldly.“Let you go? How can I give you such a bargain? Unless… You tell me why you wanted to push Nicole into the sea. Is it because of your feelings for Eric? Nah… If it was because of him, you wouldn’t have left Mediania so easily when Caleb was arrested back then. So, what’s the real reason?”His voice was light, but a little playful.It was as if he had already expected the answer and just wanted to play a game with her.If she did not tell him the truth, she would be tortured here forever.In two months, Angie would be dead.“Eric already left, and he didn’t even ask about you. I can’t touch him, but I can certainly d
Clayton was not surprised, as if he had expected Angie’s response.This was Angie’s last bargaining chip. She handed over her power for a chance of survival.Angie looked at Clayton nervously, and the fingerprint marks on her neck were especially frightening.At this point, Angie could not care less about anything.Clayton laughed lightly and looked particularly glum in the dimly lit room.He said in a relaxed and deep voice, “Fine. I’ll give you a chance. Deliver your brother to me to show your sincerity.”Angie clenched her fists tightly and closed her eyes.“My brother doesn’t stand a chance anymore. The forces at home and abroad are all eyeing him. He thinks he’s like a duck in water, but disaster is imminent.”Clayton’s eyes flickered. He knew what she meant and withdrew his gaze.Surprisingly, Angie had much better foresight than Tyler.Heh...Tyler was not at a loss to die at the hands of his sister.After a pause, Clayton turned to leave.Angie heaved a sigh of rel
Clayton laughed when he heard this and kissed Nicole on the lips.“Did you think that Angie and Tyler have some kind of deep family bond?”He sighed.Not all siblings were like the Stantons.Most people valued their interests more than family.Nicole was doubtful. “After all, they’re siblings!”They were in the same business and valued alliances the most, so how could they possibly kill each other?Clayton smiled and explained, “Angie has never been a simple person. She was chosen by her father to inherit his position. Caleb and Tyler were not as good as her and were both abandoned by their father. Don’t be deceived by her lack of presence. She’s actually much smarter than Caleb and Tyler.”He reached out and stroked Nicole’s hair.Nicole did not continue to speak and was very confused.She did not want to get involved in Angie’s affairs, but she almost died at Angie’s hands. Angie had too good of a deal if Clayton just let Angie go like that.How nice would it be if Clayton
Only Clayton would have no scruples against anyone trying to hurt Nicole.That was because Nicole was Clayton’s bottom line.Grant paused. “Send additional security personnel to protect the Stanton Mansion to avoid Tyler’s counterattack. No one is allowed to approach.”“Yes, sir.”...Ferguson Corporation.Eric was very annoyed when he received a call from Keith.“Is something wrong?”“Ferg, how long have you not come out for a drink? Come to the bar with us…”Eric replied, “I’m busy.”Keith said, “I heard that your mom came back without your sister. But I just learned that Ingrid is back in Mediania. Come over!”Eric frowned and immediately hung up.He got up and went outside.Eric only took a few steps out the door when he suddenly heard some staggering footsteps behind him.He was stunned and looked back.A fair and cute child who did not even reach the height of Eric’s knees stood there, raised his head, and looked up at Eric. The kid stretched out his hand to tug on
Ingrid raised her pale face and looked at Eric.She subconsciously sucked in her stomach, trying to cover her bulging belly.However, it was useless and too late for that. Eric had already noticed her belly at first glance.It was even more noticeable since she was wearing tight pajamas.Eric’s eyes seemed to be on fire. He gritted his teeth and said, “Ingrid, you’re so f*cking stupid!”Ingrid shivered, clutched her belly, and suddenly burst into tears.“Brother, I know my mistake…”Eric’s eyes were cold as he pulled her arm and dragged her out.“The Ferguson family will never allow you to give birth to a criminal’s child. Abort it now!”Ingrid shuddered and suddenly started to resist.“No, this is my child too…”Eric’s face was stern as he held back his rage.“Ingrid, do you know how much I’ve sacrificed because of you?!”He glared at her, looking livid.If it was not for Ingrid, Eric would not have to compromise with Tyler, nor would he have to join in on that plan. He
Eric did not even want to delay this for another second.Ingrid’s womb was like a ticking time bomb.If Tyler was arrested and Ingrid gave birth to Tyler’s child, the Ferguson family would become an utter joke.Eric was not selfless enough to raise another man’s child.“Yes, sir.”Mitchell responded and immediately got up.He called the bodyguard who was watching Ingrid.“Is Ms. Ferguson at home?”“Yes, she hasn’t stepped out of the house.”Mitchell breathed a sigh of relief.“Okay.”Mitchell went straight to the hospital and waited there.Ingrid went to the hospital obediently and did not cry or make a fuss along the way, as if she had thought it through.After she was pushed into the operating room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.The surgery would take about half an hour, so Mitchell asked the bodyguards to take a rest and waited there by himself.When it was almost time, Mitchell asked Eric to come over.However, Mitchell did not expect to hear a commotion comin
The female colleague also had a child at home, so she was very sensitive to children’s emotions.She could feel it.This child had an inferiority complex, and he should not be so sensitive at this age.Another male colleague echoed.“Yeah, he slept with me in the dormitory last night. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to coax him or that he would cry, so I was prepared to stay up all night. But the child knew how to wash his face, hands, and feet all by himself and even went to sleep alone. He didn’t bother me at all. The next day, he was already awake when I woke up. He’s such a sensible kid. I think I’d wake up laughing in my dreams if I had such an obedient kid…”“Hahaha! You need to get a girlfriend first!”Everyone was talking and laughing, so they did not notice that Eric had walked in with a dark face.Eric frowned, and his eyes were deep and cold.Mitchell coughed from behind.The crowd suddenly stopped laughing.Eric pushed the door into the conference room.The
Eric glanced at Ingrid.Ingrid sat there and curled up into a ball.Her face was pale, but she looked at Eric with criticism and hatred in her eyes.At that moment, Eric understood everything.He stared at Tyler with cold eyes, and his tone was intimidating.“She’s nothing more than a person you can use, right? But you can’t control the Ferguson family.”Tyler suddenly grinned viciously and harshly.“Eric, what do you mean by that? My sister gave birth to your son. Why can’t your sister give birth to my son?”Eric looked at him calmly. “She can’t. You can take that child back if you want to.”Hearing that, Tyler was stunned.His icy eyes probed Eric’s face. He chuckled lightly.“You’re really cruel. You don’t even like your biological son. That child only saw Angie a few times and was sent to school and the orphanage. You know what schools in Southeast Asia are like. He was bullied and abused many times. When Angie found out that he was mute after his third birthday, she too
