Floyd’s attitude towards Clayton and Nicole seemed completely different. Nicole pursed her lips.

She was a little speechless. “Dad, since you said that, don’t go back on your word in the future!” Floyd glared at Nicole. “You have no say in that! Answer my question properly.” There were countless ways to solve the problem quietly. Why did Nicole send Isaac back? Nicole’s lips curled up.

“It’s to provoke them. I want to let the Sloan family know about this. I want them to watch as Isaac dies. Does that scumbag think that I’ll be afraid of him?” Grant looked up and said nothing. Floyd also remained silent.

Nicole did it on purpose, not recklessly. Clayton paused and spoke quickly. “Yes, if Isaac disappears without a trace, the Sloan family would definitely call the police or even contact intelligence services. The matter will just blow up then. However, what Nicole did makes everyone think that it’s a private feud. The police may not be willing to meddle in this matter.”

Floyd raised his eyes. “So, what she did was correct?” Clayton smiled. His eyes were bright as he nodded. “I think so, yes.” Nicole smiled at Clayton. Sure enough, Clayton always supported her. In fact, Nicole did not think that far and only wanted to express her anger. Clayton saw Nicole’s smile. His eyes were firm. No matter who it was, anyone who tried to touch Nicole should end up like that.

If Clayton was there, things would only become more unmanageable. That was because Clayton would not show mercy. He would make sure that Isaac drew his last breath. Floyd and Grant exchanged a glance and did not continue. “Well, since it already happened, let’s just think about what to do next…” Nicole bit her lower lip. “We should’ve taken the next step long ago…”

Everyone was speechless. Floyd said, “The Sloan family probably still doesn’t know what happened, but last night’s matter was too big to cover up, so they’ll find out sooner or later.” Grant pursed his lips. His expression was cold and solemn.

“I already had the surveillance video in the Capitol destroyed. No one will know. Even if they want to find out, it won’t be that simple. Also… Logan didn’t find that many people, but there were a lot of Clayton’s men…

They might find out that Clayton was involved.” That was also why Floyd called Clayton back. Floyd was afraid that Clayton would sell out his precious daughter. Clayton nodded. His hand stroked the arch of his brow. His movements carried a warm and reserved aura that was innate in him.

“It’s only a matter of time before they find out. If Isaac doesn’t die, he’ll also spill everything. “ “Aren’t you worried, Mr. Sloan?” Grant put down the coffee in his hand and asked Clayton probingly. His eyes faintly examined Clayton.

The men who appeared beside Nicole either had ulterior motives or were dim-witted like lan Carter. They did not worry about the dim-witted ones. However, some people had ulterior motives but hid them too well. Nicole would not be able to catch it by herself. Thus, they had to be more careful. Clayton’s eyes were clear. He raised his head to look at them. The corners of his lips maintained a decent smile. “

What are you worried about? That the Sloan family would retaliate? You might not know this, Chairman Stanton, but ever since I found out that my last name is Sloan, I’ve lived i n fear all my life. It hasn’t been just a day or two that the Sloan family tries to kill me, but I’m still alive. They can’t do anything about it, so they can only put up with me.”

Chapter 1220 Celebrate

Floyd smiled and nodded before walking in with Clayton. Nicole was left behind. The butler ran over happily. “Ms. Stanton, what would you like to eat? Shall I have the kitchen make your favorite dishes and dessert at noon?” Nicole sighed and immediately nodded as she touched her stomach.

“I left in a hurry and didn’t eat much for breakfast, so I’m really quite hungry.” The food on the plane was not great. She was also nauseous and did not have an appetite. “How could you not have eaten breakfast? I’ll get you some snacks to eat first.” After the butler finished speaking, he immediately disappeared with the others. Nicole walked in lazily and saw that Grant had already come back downstairs after changing his clothes. Aida was watching the maids work and helped them to make some drinks.

Clayton and Floyd were exchanging pleasantries in the living room. Nicole felt like something was missing. After Kai left, there was no one to pick on. Floyd glanced at Nicole. “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and come here.” Nicole quickly went over and sat down without another word. She put on an expression like she was listening seriously to his teachings.

Floyd was rendered speechless by her. His pent-up anger inexplicably dissipated. “You shouId’ve informed the family about what happened last night so that we could settle the matter for you, but you dragged it out for an entire night instead?” Nicole pursed her lips. “I came back safely anyway, so let’s not talk about that. Why don’t we celebrate instead?” “Celebrate?!” Floyd laughed in exasperation. “Do you know what you did wrong?” His voice suddenly lowered. Even Clayton was stunned for a moment.

Grant took a cup of coffee and slowly walked over to sit down. He was just a bystander. Nicole pursed her lips. “I shouldn’t have gone too far… Or I shouId’ve gone further?” If Nicole had not added that second part, Clayton would have thought that Nicole was really repentant. Grant almost spat out a mouthful of coffee. Floyd glared at Nicole speechlessly with a cold face.

The butler served coffee and tea to everyone. As usual, what was placed in front of Nicole was a glass of milk. Floyd sighed. Although his voice was stiff, it had eased up quite a bit. “It’s not important if Isaac is dead or alive, and it doesn’t matter whether you went too far or not, but how could you have done it yourself?” His voice was extremely resentful. “It’ll dirty your hands!” Grant nodded silently from the side. He expressed his agreement. “You have so many ways to deal with him. Why did you choose to make a move last night?” Nicole said, “That jerk was just too annoying, so I don’t want to put up with him a second longer or even see him again. It’ll affect my mood of touring around in Liberty.”

She said it with contempt, a kind of condescending disdain that was unconcealed. Clayton listened with an expressionless face from the side. Although Clayton did not know much about the Stanton family, their family atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and all their children were remarkable. None of them were hedonistic. It was clear that Floyd had prioritized good education for his children.

“Then you shouId’ve gotten rid of him secretly. Why did you send him back to the Sloan family?” At those words, Floyd glanced at Clayton. Clayton immediately took a stand. “I’m an illegitimate child, and I didn’t choose which family to be born to. The Sloan family already sees me as a thorn in their side. I think that Nicole did the right thing.” Floyd’s face looked a little better.

Floyd looked at Clayton with affection and heartache as he spoke with a smile. “Clayton, you’re still the most principled man. From now on, you can think of this place as your home. We’re all your family.”

Nicole raised her brows and looked at him with a smile. ’Nervous? It’s your dream to meet my family officially…’ Clayton looked at her helplessly and seemed a bit unprepared, but he could not hide now. Grant glanced at Nicole, who was shooting looks at Clayton with a good-for-nothing expression.

He wondered if Nicole was really his sister. He pulled Aida’s hand and left, unable to stay and watch them communicate silently anymore. Nicole happily went over to take Clayton’s arm. “Let’s go…” Clayton was concerned that Grant was in front of them, so he did not dare to be too reckless. He tried to get her to let go. However, Nicole refused and deliberately held him.

Her eyes curved into a smile. Behind them, Logan finally sighed in relief. As long as they were back, Nicole would be safe. In the car. Grant glanced at Logan behind them. “You go back and rest first. Just go straight to the office tomorrow.” Logan nodded and looked at Nicole. “Alright.” Nicole paused. “Logan, remember to contact Naomi and Sully from time to time to follow up on the progress of the shoot.” Logan immediately agreed. “Yes, Ms. Stanton.” If Nicole was willing to give Logan a task, it meant that she was no longer upset about him telling on her. Nicole was truly a profoundly righteous President.

In Stanton Mansion. Floyd was very calm. He was propping up his fishing rod and making a call when they arrived. When he saw them, Floyd said a few words to the person on the phone and hung up. ”You’re back?” Grant nodded and pulled Aida into the living room. Aida could only give Floyd a hurried greeting and shot Grant a reproachful look. Grant explained in a warm voice, “What are you worried about? Dad’s anger is all for Lil N. He won’t care about us!” His voice was not lowered at all. Nicole looked at her brother speechlessly. Was there a need to say it so bluntly? Nicole started to get nervous

. ”Daddy…” Before she could say anything else, Nicole saw that Floyd’s attitude was not quite right, so she took the first step to admit her mistake. ”I was wrong…” Floyd said, ”How so?” Nicole was speechless. So, Floyd was taking the role of a matriarch? He had to get to the bottom of it? Nicole was reluctant. “I don’t think I did anything wrong, but my biggest fault is looking too attractive. I’m just too charming. That’s why so many people take the initiative to mess with me!” Floyd looked at his daughter speechlessly. What should he do? If this were Kai, Floyd would just slap him and let him know the consequences of being opinionated. However, Floyd could not do that to Nicole. The atmosphere turned chilly.

Clayton hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Floyd warmly. “Chairman Stanton, long time no see.” Floyd was very respectful when there were outsiders around. He immediately smiled and patted Clayton’s shoulder affectionately. “Mr. Sloan, it really has been a long time. I’ve been thinking about you a lot these days. Since you want to expand your business locally, you should come over and visit often. Maybe I can help you out…” Clayton was a bit overwhelmed. He did not dare to think that Floyd would say something like that. Although it was a bit tedious, Clayton could solve it all by himself.

Furthermore, if Clayton sought help from the Stanton family, rumors would inevitably spread that he approached Nicole with ulterior motives. Clayton did not want this relationship to be tainted with irrelevant rumors. However, Clayton naturally could not say that to Floyd, so he simply smiled. “Thank you, Chairman Stanton. I’ll keep that in mind if I need help.”

Chapter 1218 It’s Nothing Much

Clayton caught Nicole firmly and smiled. The two of them embraced each other tightly, neither letting go. Nicole’s eyes stung as she sighed. “It hasn’t even been a day, and I already miss you.” Clayton hugged her a little tighter. He gently patted Nicole’s back and stroked her hair.

“Me too.” His voice was low, husky, and warm. They did not notice that the people to the side had been waiting for a long time. The man finally could not wait any longer and cleared his throat loudly. Nicole froze faintly and let go. Grant stood there with a cold and solemn gaze and an indifferent expression. “Big Brother?” Aida was also standing next to him. She waved her hand gently.

“Lil N…” Grant rolled his eyes. “We’ve been standing here since the beginning. You only see us now?!” Aida could not help but laugh. Nicole frowned and looked at Clayton. “I… I thought that Clayton came alone…” Unexpectedly, Grant was here with Aida too. Nicole instantly felt a little embarrassed. They hugged for so long, and Grant had been watching from the side. It was such an embarrassing scene! Grant looked at her speechlessly and raised his brows. “You went out for a while and caused trouble.

Instead of coming back straight away, you even slept there for a night before leaving?! You really don’t know what dangers are out there!” Nicole stuck her tongue out. “I know that nothing will happen for the time being. I’m not stupid.” Aida smiled and walked over, explaining in a gentle voice. “It’s good that you’re fine. Your big brother was so worried that he couldn’t sleep the entire night. He came here to wait for you before dawn broke and even wanted to pick you up in person, but he was afraid that such a large commotion would attract attention and cause you trouble.” Nicole smiled.

“Your words are always the most pleasant, Aida. They’re much better than Grant’s for sure!” Grant clicked his tongue and poked Nicole’s forehead with his finger. “You’re still being picky? Your sister-in-law didn’t manage to sleep either because of you! She studied the laws in Liberty until the early hours of the morning.” Nicole was stunned and looked at Aida’s elegant face. There were indeed dark circles under her eyes that were covered by a layer of foundation. That was why Nicole did not notice. She walked over to hug Aida. “Thank you, Aida.” Aida patted her back. ”You’re welcome. We’re a family.

I used to live in Liberty for several years, so I’m familiar with the laws there. It wasn’t hard.” Nicole smiled. “When you guys hold your wedding, I’ll give you a huge gift…” Grant turned away speechlessly. Aida could not help but laugh. “Let’s talk about this later and go home first. Your dad is waiting for you at home…” Even Floyd knew about this? This matter spread too quickly. She silently looked at Logan.

Logan must be the one who told them. There was no one else. Logan looked away, pretending not to see her gaze. Nicole paused and looked at Clayton, hesitating. Clayton had been waiting here for so long. Was Nicole going to tell him to leave after just meeting him? She felt like a jerk! However, their relationship was not public yet. As Nicole hesitated, Grant cleared his throat. “Come with us, Mr. Sloan.

My father specially invited you to join us.” Clayton originally wanted to refuse, but then he heard that Floyd specially invited him. Grant did not seem like someone who would lie, so it was most likely true. He could only nod and reply stiffly. “Okay, I’m also thinking of visiting Chairman Stanton.”

Chapter 1217 She-Devil

Walter laughed and looked at Mitchell. “What’s the rush? The people finally cleared the area, so I don’t know about the rest, but Mr. Sloan probably didn’t succeed. After all, there were so many people. She was like a she-devil, so anyone would be scared to death!” Mitchell’s face changed a few times. His throat was tense. He slowly shifted his gaze to Eric. Eric’s entire aura had changed. It was extremely cold and enveloped the surroundings. Anyone could see that something was wrong.

Eric looked at Mitchell and said very calmly, “Go and check what happened last night.” Mitchell immediately nodded. “Yes, sir.” Mitchell looked at Walter and smiled. “M r. Galloway, thank your for telling us this. Mr. Ferguson still has work to do, Walter immediately understood. “Mr. Ferguson, I talked too much and delayed your time. Let’s get together again sometime if you don’t mind.” Eric nodded faintly. “Goodbye.” If one listened carefully, one could hear the restraint and hoarseness in Eric’s voice. Mitchell immediately closed the car door and bowed slightly. “Goodbye, Mr. Galloway.” “Goodbye, Mitchell.” As soon as Mitchell got into the car, Mitchell contacted the person in charge of the hotel.

Twenty minutes later. Mitchell hung up the phone. His face was visibly more relaxed. “Mr. Ferguson, the hotel said that Ms. Stanton cleared the people out too suddenly last night. They were not informed of it internally. It should be a last-minute operation. With Ms. Stanton’s identity, it seems that Clayton also intervened. The hotel doesn’t know anything about this matter. But… According to the monitoring, Isaac did enter Ms. Stanton’s room drunk, and Ms. Stanton didn’t stop him. However, no one knows what happened inside. Logan opened the door five minutes later and they carried Isaac out.

Looking at his state, Isaac seemed to have passed out by then…” Eric closed his eyes. He was immersed in the darkness, and his aura cold and stern. He sat there silently, but it already made people want to retreat. Not knowing what happened inside meant that they did not know what happened to Nicole. They did not know if she was injured.

Eric was overthinking. “Where is she now?” Eric straightened his collar and could not wait any longer. His hand was on the unlock button when Mitchell quickly spoke. “President, Ms. Stanton already flew off early in the morning. Logan also left with her.” Eric’s hand froze. “She left?” ”Yes, she left. A private helicopter left from the hotel rooftop. They looked like they were in a rush.” Mitchell guessed that nothing probably happened to Nicole last night, and the person who got into an accident was Isaac instead.

Otherwise, Nicole would not leave so soon. Eric pursed his lips. “Get people to find out, but don’t get involved. Watch the Sloan family’s movements here and tell me immediately if something happens.” He did not leave immediately because he wanted to see what the Sloan family would do. If they wanted to do anything unfavorable to Nicole, he could stop it in time. Mitchell understood Eric’s intention. ”Yes.”

Nicole sat on the plane for several hours and could not sleep even if she wanted to. She was drowsy and slightly airsick. Finally, they landed. Nicole saw Clayton standing there. He was tall, handsome, graceful, and gentle. As soon as Clayton saw her, a smile surfaced on his face. Nicole smiled. The queasiness she felt on the plane instantly swept away. She jogged over to him and instantly jumped into Clayton’s arms.

Chapter 1216 An Interesting Incident

Eric’s voice was deep and hoarse.

Eric rubbed his temples to wake himself up.

Mitchell did not speak again.

Ever since Eric met Nicole here, he had started to act strange.

An hour later.

Someone suddenly knocked on the car door.

Eric, who was resting with his eyes closed, jolted awake and looked at Mitchell.

Mitchell said, “It’s Walter Galloway, the son of President Galloway. You met him several times at reception parties.”

Eric would not remember the names of people with no reputations no matter how many times they met.

Many people wanted to get to know Eric, and there would always be people coming up to introduce

themselves to him during parties. Eric would just smile and brush them off.

Eric nodded. He was recently talking to President Galloway about a partnership, so it was best to be patient with his son.

Mitchell got out of the car and greeted Young Master Galloway with a smile.

“Mr. Galloway, what a coincidence. What are you doing here?”

Walter’s gestures were that of a rich young man, frivolous and flamboyant.

“There was a party here last night, and I drank too much, so I ended up sleeping here. I didn’t expect to see Mr. Ferguson’s car. I thought I was mistaken…”

Mitchell politely opened the back car door for him.

Eric nodded faintly.

“Mr. Galloway, what a coincidence.”

“It really is. Who are you waiting here for, Mr. Ferguson? I might know who he is…”

He was very enthusiastic. After all, his father had told him that Eric Ferguson was powerful and should be well served.

Eric’s tone was very light. “A friend.”

“A guy friend or a lady friend?”

Walter smiled meaningfully.

Seeing Eric’s expression tuming dull, Mitchell quickly spoke up from the side.

“She’s an old acquaintance from Mediania, and she’s not from Liberty. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Mr. Galloway.”

Walter hesitated for a moment before suddenly smiling. “Yes, then I might not be able to help.”

After thinking about it, Walter suddenly raised his head and looked at Eric.

“But an interesting thing happened last night, also involving someone from Mediania. I heard that it was a very beautiful chick. She even used a hundred or so people to clear the three floors above and below her…”

Eric’s face instantly turned stem, and his eyes darkened.

“What?”

Mitchell pursed his lips. He vaguely felt that the pretty chick Walter was talking about was most likely Nicole.

Otherwise, who else would have the ability to get a hundred or so people to clear the venue?

However, Nicole had never been that high-profile and flashy before, so why did she do that?

What happened last night?

Walter saw that Eric was interested and immediately told him what he knew.

“I couldn’t find out the details. I just heard the men who were clearing the venue talking. I heard that President Sloan from Sloan Corporation took a liking to that chick and wanted to force himself on her.”

Mitchell’s hair instantly stood on end. He instantly looked at Eric.

Eric’s face was dark and sullen. It was impossible to discern any emotion from his face. The more he was like this, the more dangerous it was.

Eric looked at Walter in front of him and spoke with a chill in his voice.

“Isaac Sloan?”

“Yes, yes, yes, that guy. What woman can he not get his hands on?A woman he takes a fancy to must be very beautiful. Unexpectedly, that woman was tough and managed to call so many people casually…” Mitchell hurriedly asked, “And then? Did Mr. Sloan succeed? What happened to that woman?”

Logan stood there sheepishly. “Well… I’ve never encountered such a thing before, and I wouldn’t be able to hide it even if I wanted to. It was for your sake…”

Nicole choked, rolled her eyes at him, and picked up her phone before leaving. She did not worry about anything else, but Grant would definitely lecture her later. How annoying.

Logan sighed with relief and followed. Early in the morning, in the Sloan family residence. Quavon stood in the luxurious living room with a heavy and aged face. After a night without sleep, Quavon looked haggard. He seemed to have visibly aged overnight. Finally, the doctor came out of the room. “Chairman Sloan.” “How is it?” The doctor paused. “The situation is very bad. Mr. Isaac showed signs of suffocation.

Asphyxiation will affect the brain, but it’s not yet determined what after-effects he has. He’s still unconscious…” As the doctor reported Isaac’s condition, Cluavon’s face sank little by little. “Get to the point!” The doctor trembled and cleared his throat. “It might cause him to become paralyzed waist-down or be bedridden. You should be prepared.” Quavon seemed to lose his balance.

He swayed and almost fell. The people behind him went over in time to support Quavon. “Chairman… You have to hold on!” “Who was it?! Who dared to do this to my… My brother!” The word “son” reached Quavon’s mouth, but when he saw the people in front of him, he choked and replaced it with ” brother”. The surrounding people did not notice anything. Quavon was usually very indulgent and loving to Isaac.

The butler ran out. “We currently don’t know who did this. We’re contacting everyone the Young Master saw before the accident. The surveillance footage also happened to stop working last night, so we still don’t know who sent him here…” They were completely clueless. At that time, Isaac’s upper body was bare, and his neck was bruised from strangulation. There were faint traces of suffocation. His face was an ashen gray, and there were also other bruises on his body.

The bloody scar on his face was the most shocking. How was this the usual frivolous Isaac? Isaac was down to his last breath, which flipped the whole Sloan family upside down for the entire night. The doctors told them countless times to be mentally prepared. The status of the Sloan family in Liberty was extremely high. They were well connected in both the political and business worlds. Isaac usually acted in a high-profile manner and was very flamboyant.

Although everyone was unable to put up with him, there had never been any dispute. That was because he was a Sloan. Everyone knew that Isaac was the heir to the Sloan family. It was Quavon who made Isaac his successor. Otherwise, would Isaac, a mere younger brother, have a slice of the pie when Quavon already had a son and a grandson? It was ridiculous. Quavon’s face changed a few times. His cloudy old eyes twitched as he stared at the doctor. ”You must save Isaac’s life no matter the cost.

If I find out who did it, I’ll have him killed!” The people stood there with trepidation, not daring to say a word. Everything would be clear when Isaac woke up. Early the next morning. A luxurious Rolls Royce stopped at the entrance of the Capitol. Mitchell looked at the time and spoke to the man in the back seat. “It’s still early, so Ms. Stanton might still be sleeping.

Do you want to eat something first?” Eric checked Nicole’s schedule and postponed all his affairs today, wanting to follow her. Even if Nicole was angry or unhappy, Eric just wanted to be with her, just the two of them. There were dark circles under Eric’s eyes. He was busy until midnight last night to deal with today’s business. “No need…”

The bodyguard paused and hesitated for a few seconds before answering Clayton’s questions. “When we pushed the door open, Isaac was hanging from the balcony and was about to die…”

They could not figure out why Clayton called so many of them to protect a woman who could easily strangle a man to death. That woman’s skills were obviously better than theirs. Although Nicole did not look like she had much experience in actual combat, her moves were professionally trained. It was more than enough to deal with a weakling like Isaac. Clayton was stunned for a moment.

He seemed to forget that Nicole was trained in fighting. When Clayton saved her in front of that bar before, Nicole said that she did not need it. He was overly concerned. It was no wonder Nicole told him not to worry. She knew that compared to her, Isaac was just a little ant. Clayton could not help but let out a low laugh. “Then?” What was the result? Was Isaac dead? The bodyguard said, “Ms. Stanton ordered for him to be sent to the Sloan family residence. He was still breathing when he was sent there, but I’m not sure about now.

She did not let our people get involved.” Clayton’s eyes sank. Nicole was probably afraid that the Sloan family would blame the matter on Clayton, so she did not let his people do it. Clayton responded and hung up the phone without saying more. If Nicole could think of him, Clayton felt that everything was worth it. The car drove on the road in the dark. Slow and firm.

Clayton went to the airport early and waited there to pick Nicole up. Nicole slept very soundIy. This matter did not affect her sleep at all. In the morning, Nicole was woken up by Logan knocking on the door.

Logan hurriedIy went to help her pack her belongings and rushed her to go wash up. Nicole washed her face, not realizing the contrast. Who was supposed to be the assistant? ”What’s the rush?” Logan nodded. “I rented a bulletproof car, the kind that only the President can use.

I’ve also booked a private plane. The Stanton family’s jet might not reach in time, but this road is very concealed, so no one will find out about our whereabouts.” Nicole could not help but smile. She leisurely went to the dining table and had a sumptuous breakfast. “You’re exaggerating. No matter how well-informed the Sloan family is, they won’t instantly find out that Isaac got into trouble at my place.”

Nicole estimated that it would take at least a whole day and night before they found out. If she was lucky and Isaac died, the Sloan family would be in disarray, and it might take even longer. “It’s better to be safe than sorry. I already checked. The Sloan family’s power is very extensive. It’s better to be careful in any way we can!” Nicole took a sip of milk and nodded. In the blink of an eye, Logan had finished packing everything and came out with the suitcase. “Let’s go…” “I haven’t finished eating…” “The plane is ready!” Logan said. It looked like Logan did not plan to let Nicole eat her meal i n peace. Nicole shrugged.

’Fine, let’s go then.’ “Did you ask whether Isaac died or not?” Logan said, “There’s been no news, but as soon as our people put him down, someone in their family noticed…” Thus, odds were, with the strength of the Sloan family, Isaac’s chances of surviving were greater. Nicole lowered her eyes, and Logan could not tell if she was disappointed or happy. Logan was afraid that Nicole would get another idea and hurriedly went over. “President, your eldest brother already sent people over.

If you don’t go now, he’ll come over and pick you up personally!” Nicole froze and lifted her eyelids to look at Logan carelessly. “You told Grant?”

Logan had someone come up and re-clean Nicole’s room. He was afraid that she was traumatized and suggested. “President, why don’t I change your room to a different one? Or should we go to another hotel?” Nicole curled her lips and stood up. “No, make do and sleep here. Go book a flight.

We’re leaving first thing tomorrow morning.” “Are we running?” Logan subconsciously asked. After he asked, he wanted to bite his tongue off. His question was too direct. Nicole laughed softly and did not get angry. ”Yes, of course, we have to run.” After all, this was the Sloan family’s territory. If Isaac was dead and they found out that Nicole did it, it would be like throwing herself into the net.

The sooner she left, the better. Logan breathed a sigh of relief. He also felt that it was better not to stay long in this place. Then, he immediately booked a flight. Nicole spoke with Sully and suggested going somewhere else with Naomi to shoot, and that she was willing to bear all costs.

For the sake of the final result, VJ Magazine naturally agreed, not to mention that Naomi originally had a problem with the shooting venue. In the end, the shooting location was changed to Nicole’s private island.

Nicole hung up the phone and relaxed, only to find that Clayton had called her almost a hundred times. He must be very worried. Before she could call back, the phone lit up again. Nicole immediately answered.

“Hello?” “You finally picked up! Are you okay?! Where’s that bastard Isaac Sloan? Did the people I called reach your place?” There was undisguised anxiousness in Clayton’s tone. Nicole’s heart warmed. The harshness from her body seemed to disappear because of his few questions.

She laughed. “Hmm… I don’t know which question to answer first.” Clayton slowed down and pursed his lips. “Wait there. I’ll fly over to you right away!” Nicole was stunned. “No, you don’t have to come…” “I’m worried about you being there…” Clayton really could not wait any longer. He had to go now and see her as soon as possible.

Nicole heard the sound of a car engine starting, and a thought popped into her mind. “You’re going to the airport now?!” “Yes. There are no more flights at this time of night, so I’m taking a private jet. It’ll be here soon…” Before Clayton could finish his sentence, Nicole interrupted him.

“Clayton, you really don’t have to. I’m going back at dawn.” Clayton was stunned. “What?” “I originally planned to stay for a few days, but it’ll be troublesome to clean up if there’s a death involved, so it’s better if I go back as soon as possible. I already contacted Sully and changed the location of the shooting. I won’t be joining the next trip.”

Clayton slowly exhaled a breath. “Okay, I’ll go pick you up.” Nicole agreed because there was no need to refuse that request. Clayton did not pay the slightest attention to what Nicole meant by “there’s a death involved”. It was insignificant. Everything was fine as long as Nicole was safe. Clayton did not hang up until he found other interesting things to say to her to make her feel better.

The people in Liberty had already called him a few times. Clayton dialed back. “Did you all go back?” Those men were his personal bodyguards he hired when he was in Liberty. They only obeyed his orders. “No, Mr. Sloan. We’re still nearby.” “Don’t leave yet.

Ms. Stanton will be leaving first thing in the morning. Wait till she gets on the plane safely before leaving.” “Understood.” The bodyguard obliged. “What happened tonight?” Clayton rubbed his temples, wanting to know the final result.

Chapter 1212 Brink of Death

Isaac was dragged along like a chicken. He did not have any strength to resist.

He suddenly felt that he would be incredibly lucky if he managed to survive tonight.

When Clayton imprisoned Isaac in the past, Clayton only wanted to grind Isaac’s dignity and step on him underfoot.

However, Nicole really wanted to kill him.

This woman was much more ruthless than Clayton!

Isaac’s face turned blue as he started to struggle to breathe.

However, the woman had no intention to stop.

As soon as Nicole opened the balcony door, the cold wind from outside blew in.

The contrast between them was too obvious.

Isaac was still shirtless, and the cold wind instantly penetrated his bones.

The main door suddenly opened, and Logan rushed in with the others. They were instantly frozen in shock when they saw the scene.

Nicole kicked Isaac out of the balcony.

Isaac flew out like a piece of paper.

He fell, but not completely.

That was because the silk scarf was still hanging on the balcony railing, and the other end was tied around Isaac’s neck.

The sharpness in Nicole’s eyes at that moment seemed to pierce through the cold night.

Everyone fell silent.

Isaac’s hoarse voice screamed in difficulty, which snapped everyone back to reality.

However, no one dared to help him.

Logan’s face changed. He walked over and saw the cold Nicole tighten the cardigan on her body with an

expressionless face.

“President…”

Logan gulped, not knowing what to say.

Clayton was so anxious in Mediania that he wanted to fly over immediately. He called Logan and his own men, then gathered over a hundred or so bodyguards and friends in a short time.

They were there to protect Nicole.

They came as fast as they could and prepared to protect a weak woman.

However, the man dangling from the balcony railing was still struggling desperately, writhing in fear.

Isaac’s body hung from the sixteenth floor. If the silk scarf tore, he would fall to his death.

If the silk scarf did not tear, he would be strangled to death.

Thinking about it, Nicole also gave him two choices.

Strangle to death or fall to death?

Those were Isaac’s options.

Nicole looked down at Isaac and watched as his strength when struggling gradually weakened. He looked like he was dying.

She hooked her lips into a calm and composed smile.

“I’ll send you home, Isaac.”

Then, Isaac’s consciousness gradually blurred. He did not have the strength to continue struggling.

Despair instantly engulfed him.

Seeing that Isaac had stopped struggling, Nicole finally snorted and looked at Logan.

“Fish him up.”

Logan nodded and immediately beckoned to the other men, who came over and easily pulled Isaac backt o the balcony.

However, Isaac was only breathing weakly. It was as if he was already dead.

“President, should we send him to the hospital?”

Nicole shot Logan a look, and Logan instantly understood that he said the wrong thing.

She wanted to kill Isaac, so why should he be sent to the hospital?

It was good enough that she did not stab him. Sending Isaac to the hospital was just unnecessary.

Logan lowered his head. Someone next to him squatted beside Isaac to check his breathing.

“He’s still breathing. What do you want to do, Ms. Stanton?”

Logan did not want Nicole to get involved in these things. If they got involved in a murder case in less than half a day after arriving here, the clean-up would be too much trouble.

However, Nicole did not care at all. She glanced over casually and spoke in a cold tone.

“Go find out where the Sloan family lives and toss him in front of his home. It doesn’t matter if he’s dead o I alive.”

Logan nodded immediately.

“Understood.”

There was no need for Clayton’s people to intervene in this. Logan handled it with the people he brought along.

A large group of people left without a sound.

It was as if nothing had happened.
