The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2004 Overestimated You

A few minutes passed.

The longer they waited, the less hope there was.

The waves crashed on the side of the boat, which made it sway unevenly.

Several large ships quietly appeared in the distance with their sails raised high.

Angie's bodyguard noticed the ships. His expression changed.

"Miss, someone is approaching. Let's leave!"

Angie shook her head and pulled Eric.

"Let's go together."

Eric wished that he could throw this clingy woman into the sea. He hated this woman to death.

He was clearly anxious, but he could not do anything.

This feeling was as if someone threw him into the sea and death was approaching him.

"Get away from me! Get lost!"

Eric gritted his teeth.

Angie cried and shook her head.

The bodyguard was very anxious because the large ships were getting closer.

Those ships were charging at them.

In less than a minute, several large ships going at full force surrounded their boat.

Quinn, who was already on Eric's boat, was driven to Angie's boat.

Her face was pale, but she did not dare to say a word.

Angie and her bodyguards looked at the people who got off the ship in shock.

The person in the forefront was Clayton Sloan.

Clayton approached them with an aweinspiring vibe. His face was cold and dark without any emotion. However, a storm was brewing in his eyes.

He saw Angie and Eric, but not Nicole. The air around him instantly became extremely cold.

"Where is she?"

Clayton looked at Angie with a glum and ruthless expression as if he wanted to kill her.

Angie was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she did not dare to speak.

Clayton looked at Eric, who looked very

wretched.

"Where's Nicole?"

Clayton's voice was very calm and clear, but it made everyone shudder in fear.

Eric stared at the surging sea in silence. His eyes were red.

Too late.

It was all too late.

Clayton took a few steps forward and pushed Eric against the railing with half of Eric's body hanging outside.

With a little force, he could push Eric to the bottom of the sea, and Eric would never come back to life.

Clayton's voice was hoarse, deep, ?h*;PMT; threatening. "I asked, where is Nicole?!"

His tone was cold and intimidating.

The sea breeze rustled their clothes.

Everyone was shocked by this scene.

Quinn's face turned pale with fright, and she passed out on the spot.

Eric's bodyguards wanted to step forward to help, but they were stopped by Clayton's people.

No one could move.

Angie was so frightened that she screamed and was about to go forward to pull Clayton's arm.

"Don't touch him! I did it! Nicole accidentally fell into the sea. I didn't want to kill her. She jumped into the sea by herself!"

Her words entered Clayton's ears along with the sea breeze.

Clayton's eyes sank, and his face instantly turned cold.

His deep eyes glanced at Eric with a bit of shock.

His hand that was holding onto Eric tightened ruthlessly.

Angie cried so hard that she lost all the pride and confidence she had just now.

"Clayton, she really jumped in by herself!"

Clayton slapped Angie, and she was thrown to the ground with a very obvious mark on her face.

He was furious. "She jumped in by herself? Why don't you jump and show me?!"

Clayton yelled at her, and Angie's face turned pale with fear.

Angie was speechless.

She looked at Clayton's eyes with trepidation.

Clayton was no gentleman. He had always been a lunatic.

He would do all kinds of evil and would hit women. He was different from Eric because he would never be bound by morality. The people behind Clayton pulled Angie up and restrained her.

Clayton's eyes were extremely cold as he stared at Eric.

"I really overestimated you. She died in your hands again. This is your so-called deep affection for her, huh? How disgusting!" Eric's face was glum. He could fight back, but he did not.

Half of his body was almost thrown into the sea, but his face was expressionless.

Eric would rather be thrown in by Clayton and die with Nicole.

So, he did not struggle or resist.

Eric lost utterly.

The bodyguards shouted from the front deck.

"Mr. Sloan, it's Madam!"

Everyone was shocked and gave way to Clayton.

Clayton quickly let go of Eric and desperately ran to the deck.

A bodyguard was still submerged in the water with one hand holding tightly onto Nicole.

Nicole's face was pale. She was immersed in the water for nearly five minutes, and no one knew if she was still alive.

Her eyes were closed, and she did not seem to be breathing.

At that moment, Clayton's heart trembled.

He quickly bent down and knelt on one knee to pull Nicole up.

The people behind him came over to help.

Nicole was pulled on board. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her face was pale and bluish.

Clayton touched her face. He looked calm, but his voice was obviously trembling.

"Nicole! Baby..."

He choked for a moment. Without saying anything else, he started to give her chest compressions and resuscitation.

Everyone watched nervously.

This was not like drowning in an ordinary pool.

This was the sea.

No one ever survived drowning in the sea.

Four minutes was enough to drown a person.

Clayton had never been so flustered and happy at the same time.

He hoped that this was just a false alarm.

However, no matter what he did, the woman underneath him showed no reaction.

Clayton's hands began to tremble.

He hoped that he was the one in danger.

Clayton thought, 'I shouldn't have brought

her out with me... I shouldn't have left her alone in the room...'

"Baby, don't scare me..."

Clayton said in a low voice, grabbed her face, and gave her artificial respiration again.

He could taste the salty sea water in her mouth, and his heart was aching terribly.

Clayton thought, 'Nicole must have been so scared! How could I be so late?!'

He hated every minute that he was late and felt tortured.

Eric stumbled over with disbelief in his eyes.

"How could..."

How could Nicole be here?

Just as Eric was about to touch Nicole,

Clayton shoved him away.

"Go away!"

Clayton was like a beast protecting his family.

He would not allow anyone to touch Nicole.

Clayton carried Nicole and ran to his ship.

"Hurry, get the doctor!"

The captain heard the commotion and paused. "I'm a doctor! Put her down!"

The captain and Clayton knew each other for a long time. They had been working together from the very beginning.

He was familiar with Clayton.

Clayton was a gentleman on the surface, but he was actually ruthless.

No one could win against such a person.

The captain has never seen a woman beside Clayton, yet this woman was Clayton's wife.

This was the only time the captain saw Clayton with a woman.

He always thought that Clayton got married to hide his true identity from the public and to live a normal life.

However, since Nicole disappeared, Clayton became a different person.

Clayton did not marry this woman to become a normal person.

He became a normal person because of his wife.

How strange.

Clayton watched on the side as the captain

tried to save Nicole.

The captain was always at sea most of the year, so he was more experienced in dealing with such situations than Clayton.

One minute, two minutes...

The more time passed, the more cold sweat appeared on Clayton's forehead.

Clayton pursed his thin lips tightly. His eyes were deep as he looked at Nicole unblinkingly.

His face was as white as paper.

Clayton's life was dark, and he always lived in disguise.

All of Clayton's hopes were on Nicole.

He never thought about how he would survive if Nicole died here.
