Nicole frowned and looked like she did not believe Eric.How could it be such a coincidence?She subconsciously looked at the maid next to her.The maid noticed and nodded in agreement.“Ms. Stanton, it’s true. This is the safest place now because this house is earthquake-proof. Even if there is an earthquake, it won’t collapse. If you want to contact the outside world, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until tomorrow.”Nicole heard this and felt her heart turn cold.She could wait, but could Clayton wait?Every second and every minute was precious, so she did not want to waste her time here.What if Clayton was stuck somewhere, waiting for someone to rescue him?Nicole wanted to leave immediately and get a team to rescue Clayton.Her complexion turned extremely pale.Her fists were clenched tightly, and her whole body was tense.What should she do if she could not contact anyone?How could she sit still?Nicole raised her eyelids, looked at Eric, and pursed her lips.“Can
Eric saved her, but it did not mean that he could stop Nicole from doing what she wanted.In the dark, Eric’s expression froze. His eyes gradually turned deeper and darker, so much so that no emotions could be seen from them.“Nicole, objectively speaking, you’re a woman, so your physical strength and endurance can’t compare to these professionals. If there are aftershocks, and you get into an accident, we’ll have to assign more people to take care of you. Don’t you think this will delay more time in saving Clayton?”The light was dim. Moreover, Nicole’s thoughts had already flown away.Thus, she did not notice the worry and tension in Eric’s eyes at this time.Nicole was silent for a few seconds and seemed to be looking in a certain direction in the distance.Just when Eric thought she had compromised, she said in a drawn-out voice, “That’s great then. There’s no need to save me.”Eric’s heart seemed to be twisted viciously that it was so painful.Did Nicole like Clayton that
The tall mountains on both sides were straight. It looked like an artificial carving as its workmanship was simply magical.It was gorgeous, but falling from that height would only mean death.Nicole’s heart tightened instantly.She looked at the sparkling dark surface of the water with a heavy heart.Nicole could not speak, and she wanted to cry, but the person who could comfort her was not by her side.Suddenly, someone put a jacket over her.She paused for a moment and looked back. Eric stood there and followed her for who knew how long.“Wear it. Don’t catch a cold.”Nicole took off the jacket and handed it to him.“No need. I’m not cold.”After she finished speaking, she walked back.Nicole guessed that the possibility of falling from the top into the water was very small. After all, it was so far away.Maybe she was worrying too much.“Nicole, do you hate me that much? You don’t just hate me. You hate my jacket too. If it weren’t for the earthquake today, maybe you w
Nicole’s tears fell at some point, and she could not listen to a word Eric said.All she knew was that Eric allowed the rescuers to leave and that they were not going to look for Clayton anymore.Eric could not wait for Clayton to die!Nicole’s heart ached, and her voice was almost hysterical.“Help me? You’re helping by pushing me into hell again, right? Isn’t this your specialty? You really didn’t improve after all these years! You just want to kill him on purpose!”Eric approached her without saying a word.He could feel that she was having a mental breakdown from keeping her emotions bottled up all day.Now was not the time to reason with her.Eric took a step forward and changed his tone.“Okay, I’ll admit to what you said, so come back with me first. I won’t let these people leave and will make sure that they continue the search at dawn!”“I don’t believe you! Don’t fool me! How could I believe your nonsense!”Of course, Nicole refused to leave.She had to stay here b
Eric had too much to drink, so he did not hear Mitchell’s soft response.Eric nodded and reassured himself.“Yeah, she will.”Mitchell did not continue to speak.After all, Mitchell also had a girlfriend. When he first got together with his girlfriend, he stepped on all kinds of landmines. That was how he learned what annoyed women.However, with Eric’s status, no women dared to throw a tantrum at him, so Eric did not understand women’s thoughts because he had too little experience.“By the way, you can set the budget for the donation of resources in the name of Ferguson Corporation. I have to stay with Nicole for the time being, so I can’t leave at this time.”Mitchell twitched his lips.He knew that he could not persuade Eric at this moment, so he could only oblige.“Okay. What about $10 million? We can use our company’s annual charity fund to pay for it. By the way, is Ms. Stanton staying there by herself? No one from the Stanton family is there?”Eric rubbed the space bet
Eric’s complexion changed subtly. His throat moved slightly, and he pursed his lips.“Okay, the address is…”After he finished speaking, Floyd hung up the phone.Grant looked at Floyd in admiration and could not help but give him a thumbs up.Floyd’s face was heavy.“You can help Kai while l pick up your sister. Let’s meet at the hotel later.”Grant nodded, then frowned.“Dad, I remember we have a holiday villa here. Shouldn’t we go there?”Floyd shook his head.“Let’s just go to the hotel and wait until your sister wakes up.”Grant nodded, then he went to open the car door. He told the driver, “Be careful when you’re driving on the road, and call me if you need anything.”The driver nodded.Floyd sighed and closed the door by himself.“Okay. You should go and check out the situation.”Grant sent Floyd away before he went to look for Kai.In the crowd, the well-dressed and handsome young man had long since lost his dapper look.After the earthquake, it rained for a whil
Floyd took Nicole back to the hotel and immediately called for a doctor.Fortunately, Stanton Corporation was the major shareholder of this hotel, and there were also dedicated doctors in the hotel.The doctor examined Nicole briefly. His complexion gradually improved.However, to be on the safe side, the doctor took a blood sample to take it back for testing.“Chairman Stanton, judging by Ms. Stanton’s current state, Ms. Stanton may be in a deep sleep because she had a mental breakdown. But this kind of sleep isn’t harmful, and it can allow her mind and body to rest. Let me take this blood sample back for testing first. I’ll notify you as soon as I get the results.”Floyd nodded and sent him away with a solemn expression.He was worried about his daughter and afraid of disturbing her rest, so he went to another room of the presidential suite to call Grant.At this time, the sky was getting brighter. A light blue hue slowly tore away the darkness of the night sky.The sun’s ray
Nicole took a deep breath. She did not allow herself to be immersed in sadness and planned to look for Clayton immediately.After walking a few steps, she realized that her clothes had been changed. She frowned slightly, but fortunately, she did not feel any discomfort other than feeling groggy.Nicole believed that Eric would not do anything to her at this time.As soon as she went out, she saw Floyd sitting on the floor, playing with Chatty.She froze for a moment, and her eyes instantly felt sore.“Dad?”Floyd looked up.He looked at Nicole and was pleasantly surprised but also a little distressed.“You’re finally awake! Do you feel any discomfort?”Nicole touched her head. “No… I just don’t know how long I slept for…”Floyd pursed his lips. He did not want to cause more trouble at this time.“Not long. It was just a normal sleep. The doctor said that you were too tired and emotionally unstable. That’s why you slept so soundly.”Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.“Dad, w
