The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 914 His Counterattack Was Effective

Kai knew that Clayton's words easily provoked the fragile relationship between Julie and him.

It had not been easy to get to this point, but Kai was forced back to square one with just a few words.

Kai's handsome and stunning face was a little angry a s he gritted his teeth and glared at Clayton.

"Just you wait!"

Kai thought that Clayton was a softie, but the man turned out to be a quiet hedgehog.

'Damn it, I misjudged him!'

Clayton smiled expressionlessly, watching as Kai hurried after Julie while saying something.

He did not care about anyone except Nicole.

When Nicole came out, Clayton was left alone.

Director Sven personally pushed her wheelchair out and handed her over to Clayton.

"Alright, the reports were all written on the spot.

There's nothing else wrong except the sprained ankle, so you'll be fine after resting for a few days. Don't walk for a few days and pay attention to the cold compress. I'll talk to your father, lest he calls me every five minutes to urge me. Do you want to be admitted or go home?"

Nicole thought about it, but before she could speak, Clayton answered for her.

"Admit her."

Director Sven looked at him in amazement. Be admitted into a hospital for a sprained ankle?

The doctors who take care of her in Stanton Mansion had much better conditions than those in the hospital!

Clayton pursed his lips and spoke with a warm and faint smile.

"She'll be more obedient if she's hospitalized. If she goes home, she'll want to go to the office, and no one will be able to stop her."

Director Sven nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll help with the hospitalization procedures. It's the same room. Do you remember the way?"

Nicole nodded obediently and smiled. "Thank you, Uncle Sven."

Director Sven nodded and smiled before leaving.

Nicole looked up at Clayton, who gave her a warm smile and a slightly guilty look.

"I just became your boyfriend, so I was afraid that you'd forget."

Nicole raised her brows and smirked. "That might be possible."

Clayton paused and pushed her forward.

"That's why I can't let you go home."

"I have to be discharged sooner or later." Nicole reminded him.

Clayton rubbed her hair and spoke in a warm and clear voice.

"There's no rush. I won't leave you for a second."

Those sudden words of love really caught her unprepared.

Nicole's heart quivered slightly. She pursed her lips and said nothing, feeling some heat on her face.

On the elevator, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Where are my brothers?"

'They all left? That's strange! How could they leave me behind?' Nicole thought.

Clayton paused for a second and said slowly, "I pissed Kai off..."

Rather than wait for Kai to take the initiative to stir up trouble and sour the Stanton family's impression of him, it was better to fess up to Nicole. As long as Nicole stood on his side, Clayton did not consider it a loss.

Nicole looked back at him in surprise. Her beautiful face was filled with astonishment, and her bright and innocent eyes were slightly confused. The elevator arrived.

Clayton pushed her out. "Kai is prejudiced against me. He thinks I'm not worthy of you because I have a child."

Nicole opened her mouth, her expression a little embarrassed.

She knew about Lil Michael's background story.

However, she could not publicize the child's identity just to clear Clayton's name. They could not be so selfish.

Besides, Nicole never thought that Lil Michael's existence was a blot on Clayton's record.

Nicole paused. "I'm sorry. My third brother doesn't know, and the truth about Lil Michael can't be revealed because it'll hurt him. I'll talk to Kai."

At the door, Clayton went up to push it open, his movements gentle and mild. There was no anger on his face.

After pushing Nicole inside, Clayton closed the door behind him.

Then, he knelt on one knee in front of her...
