The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 958 He's a Liar

Lil Michael ran out happily.

Clayton laughed helplessly and made way for Nicole. Nicole swept a glance at Clayton's home decor, which was cozy and very comfortable to look at.

"Did you come to see me for something?"

Nicole nodded her head.

"Isaac Sloan went to my house..."

Clayton's face changed slightly. His smile froze at the corners of his mouth.

Nicole told him what Isaac said, word for word.

"I think that you should be aware of this and make preparations early."

Clayton was silent for a few seconds. For those few seconds, his eyes were indifferent without a touch of warmth.

Soon, he regained his gentle smile.

Clayton raised his eyes to look at Nicole.

"Thank you for telling me this, Nicole. It seems that I'm already your person."

Nicole was dumbfounded. "Your focus is just as off as Kai's!"

Clayton laughed with a playful glint in his eyes.

"Your attitude is my focus. No one else matters."

Clayton reached out and took Nicole's hand, which made the tip of her heart tremble and tingle.

"I may be in trouble this time, Girlfriend..."

Nicole paused. This was the first time she saw Clayton so vulnerable.

"Do you need help?"

Clayton chuckled. "Yes."

Nicole said, "Tell me."

"You have to always stand by my side so that I can always have motivation."

Nicole was speechless.

Clayton smiled and stroked her hair. "Don't worry, Isaac is no match for me."

Nicole looked at him. "Is there nothing you want to say to me?"

What Isaac said about Clayton infuriating his mother was such a private matter that should not be so easily said, but Nicole could not ask too directly either. Clayton's eyes darkened. His smile froze for a moment.

"Isaac is a liar, so don't believe a word he said. It's mostly Isaac's doing that I left the Sloan family. That's because he wanted all the inheritance rights." Nicole frowned. "Then, you left willingly?"

Clayton's eyes flickered. "You know, Lil Michael has encountered many dangers since he was born. If I don't leave, Michael will only encounter more problems. My second uncle has lost his mind just because of the Sloan family's inheritance."

He paused for a moment. His face was not very pleasant, even his lips were pale.

"At that time, I wasn't on good terms with my parents, so I can only leave everything behind. Instead of fighting to the death for that bit of assets, I might as well stop interfering with them and take a step back t o resolve this conflict."

"Mr. Sloan, how generous of you, but you didn't get anything in return for your concessions. On the contrary, he's still chasing after you and even wants to force you into bankruptcy. I guess he's now eyeing your foreign assets. Are you really not going to do anything about it?"

Clayton bowed his head and curled his lips. A rare trace of coldness appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, he doesn't have that ability to take what's mine."

After all, Clayton could stand firm on Wall Street without relying on his Sloan family background.

If Isaac dared to steal what was Clayton's, Clayton would certainly chop off his hand.

Nicole secretly let out a sigh of relief. 'Looks like I was just overthinking it, but Clayton is still avoiding the subject about his parents, so it won't be good to ask directly. Forget it... I'll replace out when the time comes...'

She smiled and stood up. "Well, I still have work to do tonight. Why don't you go downstairs and play games with Lil Michael?"

"Are you going to the office? Shall I drive you?"

Clayton stood up and wanted to get his coat.

Nicole smiled. "No need, Logan will come to pick me up."

Clayton nodded. After all, Clayton was not at ease leaving Michael here alone. Otherwise, he would have insisted on sending Nicole to the office.

"Does Logan have a girlfriend?"

Clayton could not help but feel jealous that Logan could spend so much time with Nicole.
