The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 1958 Lost Contact

Floyd was serious, and Grant nodded.

Although they did not have a good relationship with Eric, that was based on his past. Eric was undoubtedly an excellent opponent.

If it were not for Eric's unpleasant past with Nicole, he might have been Nicole's husband.

Nicole's hatred for Eric had long since dissipated.

After all, who lived with hatred in mind every day?

Hatred stemmed from unwillingness, and Nicole had already let go of the past.

Eric did not save her not because he did not want to, but because he had other considerations.

This time, the people who needed his rescue were his sister and mother, so Nicole hoped that he would succeed.

Seeing that Nicole nodded, Floyd smiled, looking wise and experienced. He beckoned to her.

Nicole walked over.

"Eric and Clayton are both good men, but one lives unscrupulously while the other lives cautiously. They're both walking on thin ice because they've encountered a critical problem. But regardless of what's on your mind, I don't want you to put yourself at risk."

Floyd's words were resounding, and Nicole's heart trembled.

Nicole knew that Floyd was just throwing cold water on her head to calm her down.

Floyd knew that Nicole could not be indifferent to anything regarding Clayton.

Protect herself?

She could do that.

However, she could not helplessly watch as Clayton got into trouble.

Looking at Floyd's worried eyes, Nicole nodded.

"I know, Dad."

Grant smiled. "Dad, don't you know her by now? This clever little brat won't let herself suffer."

Floyd chuckled lightly. "True."

Nicole took a deep breath.

"Then you two should continue to discuss. I'll go and see if Chatty is awake."

As soon as Nicole left the study, she let out a sigh of relief.

She felt like a boulder landed on her chest. It was so heavy that she could hardly breathe.

The phone in her hand suddenly felt hot.

Should she call and ask about it?

Nicole began to struggle.

Whether she asked or not, how could she help him?

Nicole somehow made her way to Chatty's room.

Nicole's almost one-year-old daughter opened her arms wide. Her beautiful eyes were very similar to Nicole's. She was like a mini-version of Nicole.

The baby was not asleep. When Chatty saw Nicole come in, she waved her little h-e-> XNP>s excitedly.

Nicole's heart softened. She walked over and patted Chatty's little hand.

The soft little hand tugged on Nicole's finger and shook it, like she was playing with it.

Chatty babbled and laughed very happily.

After playing with Chatty for a while, Nicole remembered something.

She recorded a video of her daughter and sent it to Clayton.

There was no response.

This was something that never happened before.

Nicole's face turned pale, and her heart sank.

The superficial calmness on her face was finally broken.

She had to face the predicament in front of her.

Nicole's eyes gradually became more determined, and her heart stopped wavering.

She went back to her room to pack her things.

Finally, she heard her phone's notification.

Clayton responded.

He sent a short video of the high-rise buildings in the distance. It looked like it was taken from the top floor of the office. With a wide angle view, the people below looked as small as ants.

A few seconds later, the camera turned one round, and Clayton's gentle face with a smile came into view.

"Baby, is it pretty? I'll bring you here next time."

"Oh, Chatty too!" He added.

There was a smile on Nicole's face.

She was a lot more relaxed.

No matter what happened, she would face it with him.

She knew that she might not be of much help if she went, but she could not bear being kept in the dark. She also could not pretend to be ignorant.

At least, she could help out with SF Corporation.

Nicole was desperate to see Clayton like never before.

At night.

Nicole found an excuse to go out.

She went directly to the airport.

Nicole disguised herself to look low-profile so that no one would recognize her.

She did not bring her bodyguards for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

When she was about to get on the plane, she made a phone call to Grant.

"Big Brother, I'm going to Liberty to see Clayton."

Grant was obviously shocked.

"Where are you now?!"

Nicole replied, "The airport. The plane is taking off in ten minutes. Don't worry, I'll take care of myself. Nothing will happen! No one knows my whereabouts. Clayton's bodyguards will protect me when I arrive in Liberty, so don't worry about me. I didn't tell Dad, and you shouldn't either. I'll come back with Clayton once I confirm that he's safe and sound."

"Lil N! You're so impulsive! Don't get on the plane and come back now. I'll send

someone to pick you up right away. No, I'll pick you up in person. Don't go anywhere!"

Grant's voice was cold, stern, and a little anxious.

Nicole raised her eyes and looked at the time.

"Big Brother, don't come over. I'll be on the plane soon. I'll be fine. Please take care of Chatty for me. I'll call you when I get off the plane."

Grant said, "You're so reckless..."

Nicole hung up the phone and felt a lot calmer.

Before she got on the plane, she sent Clayton a message and turned off her phone.

The dark night was silent. When the plane passed through the black clouds, nothing could be seen.

It was just emptiness in front of her, which made her feel very peaceful.

It was 09:10 pm when Nicole landed at the airport in Liberty.

There were quite a lot of people in the airport. It was very crowded and lively.

Nicole stood in the crowd in a very low-profile.

When Nicole turned on her phone, she saw that there were more than 30 missed calls from Grant and felt a little anxious.

She quickly called him back.

Grant scolded Nicole angrily, but Nicole was guilty, so she did not dare to retort.

In the end before hanging up the phone, Grant said helplessly, "Just take one look at him and come back. I've booked you a flight ticket for the afternoon. You don't need to go anywhere. I'll send someone to pick you up from SF Corporation, then you can leave directly."

Nicole frowned, not expecting such a tight schedule.

"Big Brother, I'm not a child anymore! Don't worry, I can go home by myself."

"Yes, you're not a child, so why can't you use your brain before acting recklessly?! If those people in South Africa want to take revenge on Clayton, wouldn't they start with you?"

Nicole opened her mouth, but before she could speak. Grant gritted his teeth and said, "That's enough. You don't have a say in this. If you don't come back before the afternoon, I'll tell Dad. I'll kidnap you home if I have to!"

After speaking. Grant decisively hung up the phone.

There was no room for negotiation.

Nicole looked at her darkened phone screen and sighed helplessly.

She looked at the time. Clayton might still be working overtime at this time, or he might be resting.

However, Clayton did not respond to her message.

She thought about it and called him, but his phone was turned off.

Nicole was stunned for a moment, seemingly puzzled.

What did that mean?

Was he asleep?

Nicole was apprehensive. She tried to tell herself that she must be thinking too much.

However, she could not help but search for the phone number of Clayton's assistant.

It was also turned off.

She was completely restless now.

In the huge crowd, Nicole had actually lost contact with Clayton?
