Nicole taught him how to be gentle, sincere, frank, and kind. She also taught him how to love someone.

Clayton was when he saw Nicole.

However, when he saw Nicole and Eric refusing to cooperate with Sebastian and leaving side by side, looking like they despised such profiteering behavior of exchanging one’s health for the lives of those marine animals, he felt like Eric and Nicole belonged together.

Eric’s righteousness, decency, and purity made him extremely jealous.

Even if Nicole would not consider Eric, Clayton could not help but compare his dark thoughts with Eric’s integrity and brilliance.

Right.

Whoever stood beside Nicole should be like this instead of sacrificing the lives of so many sea creatures for their own benefit even if it was just fish.

Those sea creatures were not ordinary fish either.

They were rare marine animals that were about to go extinct.

This was on the conscience of the rich.

Thus, Clayton left and suppressed the greed that was rising in his heart.
