Chapter 755 The Emotional Side of Things
Everyone asked about the full story of what happened.Nicole was helpless. She knew that if she did not satisfy their curiosity, they would not leave so easily. Thus, she had no choice but to tell them everything.Everyone trembled in fear as they listened. Fortunately, Nicole was no longer in danger.Yvette said, “Thank goodness for Clayton! We must thank him!”Julie said, “Yeah. Regardless of how he feels about you, he saved you, so you must thank him properly, but you should remain calm about other aspects.”Yvette looked at her, confused. “What aspect?”Julie was speechless and reminded her. “The emotional side of things, of course!”Anyone could see that Clayton’s attentiveness to Nicole exceeded the boundaries of a normal cross-gender friendship.However, if Clayton wanted to use this situation as a condition, then it meant that his character was questionable and forceful.Ian was left out and sighed. “We’re so good together back then. It’s still not too late now…”Nico
Chapter 756 I’m Worried About You
Several people went down one floor excitedly. When they reached the ward where Clayton was, everyone’s footsteps subconsciously lightened up.Nicole’s wheelchair was silent. The only sound that could be heard inside was the ticking of the medical instruments.Clayton was tired and was getting some shuteye. His complexion looked a lot better than before with a hint of rosiness, so he did not look as weak and pale as before.The five of them and a doctor formed a circle around the hospital bed and bent over to stare at Clayton carefully.They were staring at him unblinkingly as if they were looking for something.Except for Nicole and the doctor, everyone else was eager to chat with each other about how good-looking Clayton was.Compared with Eric, although Clayton’s features were not as stunning as Eric’s, his gentle character gave him extra points, enough to counteract Eric’s advantage.However, they could not talk and only exchanged glances with each other. They really held bac
Chapter 757 He’s Jealous of Me
Nicole was really just worried.It was an honest concern for Clayton.This accident made Nicole feel that she seemed to carry some prejudice against him before this. Nicole treated all suitors with an attitude of indifference.That was because of the inherent defensiveness from the unknown.However, this seemed futile on Clayton.Due to this car accident, the relationship between them changed discreetly.However, she could not pinpoint exactly what was different about it.Clayton tried hard to break the unfamiliarity between them. It was a struggle, but he was also clear that he could not let up.He wanted to take things further with her, and he wanted to take the initiative.Thus, Clayton was clear about every bit of change in Nicole’s attitude toward him.Hearing Nicole’s concern, Clayton felt a little lost, but he still pulled out a smile. “Then it’s worth it for me to get hurt.”Nicole’s smile stiffened slightly. Clayton once again spoke, “Did Mr. Ferguson tell you why
Chapter 758 Hint of Affection
Clayton’s hint was clear enough.He was willing to accept such unfairness. If Nicole had even a slight liking for him, his unrequited love would not be in vain.However, Nicole was not like other women.Even if Clayton put in a hundred times more effort, Nicole would not necessarily be soft-hearted.Nicole was persuading him to give up on her, but it was impossible.It was so silent in the ward that a pin drop could be heard.Nicole’s chest felt heavy like a huge rock was pressing on her heart. Even her breathing became abnormally difficult.Looking at her torn expression as she was thinking about how to respond to his words, Clayton suddenly laughed.Clayton was most unwilling to put Nicole in a difficult position.“How about this? You can repay me with one condition.”Nicole raised her eyes and looked at him.Clayton pursed his lips. “You have to promise me that you won’t reject my existence in your life, and don’t reject the affection I show to you. You can always tell me
Chapter 759 The Bigger the Fuss, the Better
Logan looked at Nicole and continued to speak.“The murderer’s wife and his terminally ill daughter went to Zico Company’s entrance to make trouble and just wouldn’t leave. The wife claimed that we sent her husband to prison, so they don’t have any income. She insisted that we take responsibility for their living and medical expenses…”Nicole’s face sank when she heard this. Her voice was cold as hell. “Are they so shameless?”The murderer acted like the victim and still had the nerve to ask them for money at their door?It was truly revolting!Logan pursed his lips. “Now, it’s quite inconvenient for the staff to go in and out of the office. Every day, they attract a lot of attention. The security guards couldn't do anything, so Jacob Cook gave them $20,000 to send them away, but because of that, they realized how easy it was to get money and went again the next day. It’s an endless cycle. The most concerning thing is that this will affect the smooth implementation of the project.
Chapter 760 Bribed by Whom
Nicole’s words made Logan’s blood surge.It was an exciting gamble that was risky all the same.Using public opinion to gain sympathy was easy to end in ruins.There were countless examples on the internet.Logan frowned. “Such public opinion may not be a good thing for us.”Nicole fiddled with the raised button on her wheelchair and glanced at Logan with a smile.“Of course, it can’t be that simple. If that murderer can kill for his daughter, why can’t he be a good person for his daughter for once?”Logan’s brows instantly tightened. “President, I don’t understand. That murderer’s death sentence is pretty much set. Moreover, he only got caught this time because he failed to kill you. He hates us so much, so how could he be bribed by us?”The murderer was probably the typical kind of person that was vengeful against society. He would want people to suffer even after death.Nicole sneered slightly and looked up at Logan.“Have someone show him the photos of his wife and daught
Chapter 761 The Little Cripple
The murderer harmed Nicole for his daughter, and Nicole only survived because she was lucky.What if Nicole did not manage to escape?What if Clayton did not show up in time?Grant just did not want to waste a single penny on this murderer’s family.Nicole was silent for a few seconds, knowing that they were all so reluctant for her sake.Otherwise, with Grant’s character, he would have solved it with money.Money was the murderer’s wife’s weakness. If they charged the murderer’s wife with extortion and blackmail, she would be in jail as well.However, Grant did not do so because he was resentful.Nicole pursed her lips. Her beautiful eyes dimmed.“G, this money will set a positive image for us and lay the foundation for the project in Sand City. It’s worth it.”She was still a businesswoman that could weigh the pros and cons in the shortest time.This little bit of money was nothing to them.Grant knew that Nicole had already made up her mind, so he did not stop her.“Oka
Chapter 762 False Flattery
Toto opened his mouth and was silent for a few seconds.After a while, Toto calmed down and did not forget his mission yet.“Mr. Ferguson isn’t doing it for the money, it’s for you, Ms. Stanton!”Nicole’s crystal-like beautiful eyes were stunned for a moment. She seemed to understand the purpose of Toto’s visit.At that moment, Nicole did not expose Toto’s intentions. She only smiled and continued to eat.Toto saw that Nicole did not continue the conversation, but he still braced himself and continued, “When Mr. Ferguson found out about your accident, he hasn’t slept for two days. As soon as he got the news, he rushed over like crazy to Sand City, but when he came back, he looked like a completely different person.Nicole’s hands paused slightly, and her heart trembled unnoticeably.On that day, Nicole clearly did not see Eric after she woke up.How could he have gone to Sand City?Toto said, “Then he came here once, and after he went back, he couldn’t hold on and passed out.
