Ch. 1981..1990
Chapter 1981
Nicole opened her mouth, always unexpected. She softened her heart and hugged him again.
After Lumi finished changing her clothes, she came out and looked at the two people who were hugging sticky.
Immediately, Lumi and her assistant in the room were petrified.
Does it have to be so tortured?
Lumi regretted saying that those things were in the past, it was really unnecessary.
She can't wait to start all over again. "Do you still know this is my wedding?"
she couldn't help asking.
Nicole and Clayton separated and smiled.
"I know, it's not that I've never been married." After she finished speaking, she dragged Clayton out.
Clayton didn't change his face, nodded and followed.
Lumi pursed her lips and stared, hearing that Clayton was decisive and ruthless in the capital world, never showing mercy, just like a tool man without emotion.
But it's not right. The man who was holding Nicole coquettishly was the same person as the legend?
Incredible!
"Ms. Makinen, it's almost time, we should pass…"
The assistant behind urged.
Lumi nodded, and quickly turned her attention to herself, letting the person behind her walk over gracefully with her skirt in hand.
When the music sounded, everyone was still congratulating the Carter and Makinen families on their happy event.
Although there are speculations on the inside, everyone's face on the surface is in place.
Camden and Louisa greeted the guests with high spirits, and had a very good relationship with the Carter family.
When the two people from the Lindstrom family came, they just said hello indifferently and went to their seats to sit down.
The identity is embarrassing, but they are all people on the scene. No matter how embarrassed they are, they have to bite the bullet and come over to congratulate, otherwise the rumors of the three families' discord come out and everyone will suffer.
Only Kai and Nicole came over from the Stanton family.
Kai and Julie went elsewhere in a blink of an eye.
Nicole and Clayton were joking together, and the atmosphere was so good that no one else could blend in.
After a while, someone came over and whispered a few words at Nicole.
Nicole paused, looked up, and saw Ian winked.
She sighed and nodded.
Clayton raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"
Nicole said in a low voice, "Ian asked me to help stop some people, and don't let people who the bride doesn't like go over and make trouble."
She said and stood up.
Clayton frowned, "Who?"
"Her sister, Kirsi "
Nicole said, and went directly to the door.
Kirsi appeared here in a beautiful dress and was entangled with Lumi's mother Louisa.
The smile on Louisa's face obviously couldn't hold back, and she couldn't even pretend to be angry.
Although Kirsi is not very popular, she is also a person who is often on hot searches. Her appearance has attracted the attention of many people.
Nicole smiled and walked over.
I heard Kirsi explaining to Louisa: "I just said a word to my sister and left. She didn't answer my call. I just wanted to congratulate her. After all, my sisters have been for so many years…", the scene will be extremely ugly.
But Kirsi didn't wink so much.
Nicole stretched out her hand to hold Kirsi's arm and smiled: "Whether you are here to congratulate or to add to the block, you know what you should be here."
Kirsi's face stiffened, she did not expect Nicole will come.
Louisa let out a long sigh of relief, "Ms. Stanton, thank you very much."
"You're welcome, Auntie, go and entertain the guests. Leave it to me here."
Nicole smiled, unable to pick out any flaws in her attitude.
As soon as Louisa left, Kirsi couldn't say so many high-sounding words.
She can make others speechless, but she doesn't dare to deal with Nicole like this.
Falcon Entertainment is the property of Nicole's family, and she can make it impossible for her to get along.
Still somewhat apprehensive.
Nicole looked gentle and approachable on the surface, but at this time she smiled at Kirsi, but when there was no trace of a friendly smile in her eyes, Kirsi felt a little threatened.
She paused and took a deep breath: "Ms. Stanton, what do you mean?"
Nicole released her hand and looked at her with a smile: "I don't care whether you like Samuel or out of jealousy and don't want to make your sister happy. But today, my best friend is getting married .
If Ian's wedding is ruined by your fly, I will never let you go."
She used the softest smile and said the harshest words.
Ian asked Nicole to stop people, which was the most correct. He knew Nicole's influence in this circle.
A small shrimp like Kirsi would not dare to be tough with her.
Kirsi's face changed a bit, and she took a deep breath. She took out a gift box from her bag and handed it over: "Since my sister doesn't want to see me, forget it. This is a little bit of my heart. I ask Ms. Stanton to pass it on on my behalf."
Nicole took it: "Sure."
Kirsi looked After taking a few glances at the entrance, he didn't stop, turned around and put on her sunglasses and left.
She has been a little difficult in the circle during this time. Samuel has not matched her since her divorce. Everyone thought that her backer had given up on her.
At this time, Samuel had already gone abroad and could not be contacted.
She bought a hot search for herself several times, but the response was mediocre, and it even aroused everyone's disgust.
She was not willing to succumb to those greasy old men, so she wanted to find some face from her family.
But after the confrontation with Lumi, the Makinen family even Camden stopped answering her calls.
Without her sister who loves her the most, she is really struggling.
However, Lumi could marry Ian in her second marriage, but it was really unfair that she ran into obstacles everywhere.
…
Nicole was relieved after watching her leave.
Samuel handed her gift to the waitress who was sorting the gifts.
"Put it with other gifts."
"Yes."
Nicole turned around and was about to go back, when a waiter suddenly ran over and said in a low voice: Ms. Stanton, Stanton's house is on fire, so please go back quickly."
Nicole stiffened and turned her head in shock.
She panicked for a moment.
Talking about the children and Floyd at home, if there is a fire, will they have an accident?
Just as she was about to run out, she suddenly remembered something, and gave him a wary look: "What my brother said? He should have called me. I'll go to my husband first."
She wouldn't easily believe a stranger's words.
Nicole has a long memory.
Just before I got in, the waiter continued to speak, nervous to the death: "Ms. Stanton, it's urgent, Floyd's car is waiting for you outside, and Ms. Nixon is also there. Let's inform Mr. Sloan for you."
Indeed, just now Kai After turning around, the person disappeared.
Julie is not there.
Did she hear about the accident?
Her cell phone has been muted, for fear of affecting the wedding.
Maybe she didn't hear it, and Kai couldn't find her, so she asked the waiter to come to her.
And as soon as she heard that Julie was there and the waiter said everything, she relaxed half of her vigilance.
At this time, the music started, the lights dimmed, and the bride had slowly entered the venue.
Chapter 1982
If you rush in now, it will definitely become the focus and steal the limelight.
Her dress had no pockets, and her mobile phone was with Clayton.
Nicole gritted her teeth secretly, unable to bear the confusion in her heart, and immediately glanced at the other waitress: "Please let me in and tell Clayton."
The waitress nodded quickly.
Nicole gritted her teeth and ran out with her skirt in hand. She opened the door of the hotel.
The car not far away really belonged to Kai, she ran over without hesitation.
She Just opened the rear door.
Instead of seeing the expected Kai and Julie, it was the man who wanted to tease her that day they met on the golf course.
Grinding?
The man glanced at her in amazement, and shook his head with a smile:
"Ms. Stanton, please meet me, it's really hard!"
Nicole suddenly felt relieved knowing that he had been deceived.
At least, Floyd said that the children are all right.
She lowered her eyes slightly, took a step back, and looked around, but there were no bodyguards around.
"Since you know that I don't want to see you, then you should consciously get away."
Nicole turned around and was about to run back.
However, Liliana sneered, clapped his hands, and suddenly revealed the person in the co-pilot behind him.
Julie learned that his mouth was tangled with tape and was controlled there. She looked at Nicole anxiously with red eyes, and wanted to say something.
Nicole's heart sank fiercely, and her eyes looked at the man coldly.
"How dare you do it on my site?" It was her who moved!
Liliana looked at Nicole with a smile, and said slowly, "I've seen Ms. Stanton's temper before, she injured me and was admitted to the hospital at the first meeting. For the sake of beauty, it's okay to be a little temperamental. I should have come over earlier to talk to you, but unfortunately someone kept me from investigating your identity, which delayed a little time. But it's not too late, I know it now. "
It's even more interesting after knowing that.
It's just that, he didn't say it.
Liliana looked at her with a smile, and there was a bit of gloom in his eyes:
"Please get in the car, I'll take you to dinner?"
Liliana acted like he just wanted to find an interesting prey.
Nicole looked at him coldly, thinking about how long it would take for Luca and Clayton to come.
But in the next second, Liliana's smile suddenly converged. He looked at her gloomily, and evoked a wicked smile: "Ms. Stanton, if a friend is not enough weight, then add another one?"
He said, and pressed the key in his hand, the trunk automatically Open.
In the next second, Nicole saw that Kai was tied there, struggling hard, but in vain…
She was furious.
Her eyes looked at Liliana indifferently. "What do you want to do?"
Liliana smiled, gentle on the surface, but actually threatening: "It's just a meal, Ms. Stanton wouldn't dare?"
Nicole was stiff, she could feel the blood all over her body. Started to solidify.
A cold air rose from the soles of her feet, and there was no way to fight back.
Liliana was just sitting lightly in the car, someone who could threaten her.
Seems like nothing is impossible.
Kai and Julie knew.
She couldn't just turn around and run away.
Otherwise, with the character of killing people without blinking an eye, and treating human life as a child's play, they will not care about these two lives.
She suppressed the chill in her heart, took a deep breath, and took a step forward.
Ahead is the abyss.
But she didn't have a chance to step back…
But the next second, a big hand behind her suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Hold her firmly behind you.
Her face changed, and she looked sideways in shock.
It was Clayton who was supposed to be at the banquet.
Clayton's brows were indifferent, but he didn't smile. Looking at the car, his aura did not diminish at all: "It's been a long time, it's not polite to invite my wife to dinner without my consent, isn't it?
"The moment Liliana saw Clayton, his face suddenly became a little fearful.
The corners of his mouth twitched without a smile, and he looked at Clayton:
"Mr. Sloan, who I thought it was, it's been a long time since I hadn't seen him. I'll have to talk about cooperation next time!"
Clayton looked indifferent. There is a bit of sharpness hidden in the eyes: "The cooperation will be avoided, and we will have to take a detour here in the future."
His tone was sloppy, without the slightest fear, and even with a bit of warning. He took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed a little.
Clayton lifted his eyelids slightly, looked at him, and his voice was extremely indifferent: "If you haven't come down yet, wait for my people to ask you to come down?"
Gritting his teeth, he glanced at Nicole unwillingly.
Still bend over to get out of the car.
When he got out of the car, the two men who were hiding behind also followed.
Nicole's shocked expression changed. She didn't even see anyone behind her just now.
Hidden so well.
I can't imagine that if she really got into the car, then she wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
Liliana stood there, looked at Clayton and sneered: "Mr. Sloan, it's going to be a long time coming, you have to be careful."
His eyes fell on Nicole, he chuckled lightly, looked at him unscrupulously, and then With people swaggering away.
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief behind him. She was really nervous just now. She hurriedly ran over to untie the rope and tape on Julie's body.
Although Julie was embarrassed, she still didn't lose her mind: "There are Kais…"
When Nicole looked up, Clayton had already tied Kai.
As soon as Kai was free, he ran over and hugged Julie and burst into tears.
He's Really crying.
Julie was also confused. The originally very difficult scene, the tears in her eyes were suddenly held back. She could only look at Nicole, then patted Kai on the shoulder to comfort him.
Nicole frowned, Kai was too fragile!
It's really a delicate flower in the greenhouse, it can't stand the wind and rain!
If Floyd saw this, he would have to faint!
Clayton walked behind Nicole and asked her in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
Nicole nodded. Although her heart was relieved, the good mood of attending the wedding was ruined.
She didn't expect that Liliana would take the initiative to come to the door. What purpose could he find?
The two watched for a while, but Kai didn't mean to stop.
Clayton couldn't help suggesting: "Would you like to send the Kai to the hospital?"
Nicole: "He doesn't seem to be injured."
Clayton: "I'm frightened, go to the psychologist."
Nicole: "…"
Julie raised her head and waved her hand embarrassedly: "No need, I'll take him back to rest for a while."
Nicole nodded, just when the bodyguards were coming, they were sent back.
Clayton held her hand beside him, very tight, probably a little nervous.
Although it seemed that he had the upper hand just now, it did not mean that he would not be uneasy.
"Clayton, why do you seem to be afraid of you?" Nicole asked.
Chapter 1983
Clayton glanced at her and smiled: "This person is treacherous, he can do everything. He is not afraid, but he has not yet figured out how much power I have here. If he knows that I am inferior to him, he will definitely fight back, does the hyena know?"
Nicole nodded.
Clayton's eyes darkened a bit: "He is."
Nicole was silent for a while, not making a sound.
For a while.
Clayton thought Nicole was frightened, so he stretched out his hand to hug her and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, it's normal to be afraid. He can't touch your head when I'm here."
Nicole paused. After a second, she slowly said: "But he put his brains on his family, and he told me that Stanton's house was on fire. I couldn't worry about my father and talking about it and ran out, but Kai and Julie were caught by him. I got caught…
Next time, I don't know who it will be?"
Nicole didn't know what to do if the people around her were implicated.
She can't take good care of everyone.
But very guilty.
Clayton was silent, his eyes fell behind her, and there was no one in the direction: "Then drive him out, he won't be able to reach here."
His voice was cold, as if speaking to her, It seems not.
Nicole's heart felt like a boulder had been smashed, and ripples appeared.
For some reason, she relied on Clayton more than ever.
Before she knew it, her heart also changed quietly.
For a while.
Only then did Nicole look up at him: "How did you know I came out?"
Clayton smiled, "Do you believe in intuition?"
"Believe."
Nicole also rolled her eyes, Clayton touched her head and sighed: "You can't miss the important moment of the second young master, but when you weren't there, I felt something was wrong. When I ran out, the waiter at the door told me that Stanton's house was on fire, and I realized that something was wrong."
It is so.
Still heartfelt.
If he hadn't been so vigilant, Nicole would have been taken away by Liliana by now.
The two returned to the hotel, greeted the waiter over there, and went straight home.
There is really no mood to continue to stay.
Ferguson Corporation.
Mitchell was dealing with the progress of cooperation with the Stanton Corporation.
Eric sat on the side smoking a cigarette, his eyebrows indifferent and alienated.
Soon.
He pushed open the door and entered.
"Brother-in-law, the beautiful woman I saw last time was Clayton's woman. Why don't I take her to South Africa? Let alone an arms base, I have as many bases as I want!"
The office was quite silent.
Mitchell's face darkened, and he looked at Eric subconsciously.
Eric's face was extremely indifferent, and the center of his eyebrows was as cold as ice at that moment.
He raised his eyes and looked at him coldly: "Who did you see?"
"The woman who hit me on the golf course, don't think I don't know. You deliberately prevented me from finding her, so she's your ex-wife, she's so beautiful!"
Liliana recklessly recalled the aura of that woman's appearance, the more he thought about it, the more he felt unbearable.
Eric looked at him with icy eyes: "You'd better not touch her."
Liliana shook his head and smiled grimly: "My sister has your child, do you still think about that woman?
Pretty is pretty, but she has a bad temper. Besides, she is Clayton's weakness, if you catch her…"
Eric threw the cigarette in his hand on the table in front of him, his voice harsh: "I Say it, don't touch her!"
Seeing that Eric was really angry, he squinted his eyes, and then smiled: "Okay, don't move, don't move, I didn't expect you to be a person who loves fragrance and treasures jade?"
Eric changed the topic: "If that's the case, when will you take my sister over? It's not a problem for their orphans and widows to live abroad. I think it's better as soon as possible, otherwise the children won't know their father."
Eric frowned coldly and did not speak.
It was Mitchell who thought about it and said, "The last expulsion situation was an order from the public security system. Besides, Ms. Angie's identity is special, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to get in."
Liliana chuckled: "It's not that simple? Then, just like me, change my identity, am I different now?"
Mitchell paused and looked at Eric deeply.
Eric's tone was indifferent: "No hurry, wait for the completion of the matter. The new company will be established soon. Aren't you eager to whitewash the money in your hand?"
Liliana's eyes lit up: "Is there any sign of this?"
"It's already in the process. When the project is launched, I will arrange for my own people to sell it. You can buy at a high price in the name of the buyer, and then sell it again, and your money will be clean."
Eric's voice was indifferent, as if to say this extremely simple thing.
Liliana smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew that these hundreds of billions of things are a piece of cake in your hands. Brother-in-law, don't worry, when my money is safely in the overseas account, I will let your sister and mommy out. I'll give birth to a big fat boy with your sister later, and we'll be a family, kiss and kiss!"
Eric's face was cold, there was no trace of warmth, he couldn't see it any mood.
It's just that the atmosphere in the entire office is condensed and weird.
Immediately, Liliana's eyes flashed: "But I'm still not at ease."
Eric lifted his eyelids and remained silent.
Liliana curled the corners of his lips and smiled slyly: "I'm not worried about you, is the partner you're looking for reliable? Don't turn around and trick me. Let's go, I'm going to find a friend to follow up with him Looking at it. I feel even more relieved, Mr. Ferguson, what do you think?"
Eric pursed his lips without expression: "Whatever you want."
He looked like he didn't care at all, which made Liliana completely relieved.
"Okay, I'll let him come over in a few days!" Liliana laughed loudly, then stood up, patted Eric on the shoulder, turned around and went out.
A long time.
The office was quiet silent.
Mitchell looked at Eric's face, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Mr. Ferguson, what you mean, Miss and Madam, are still in his hands. Could it be that they were directly hidden by his people?" And the trace of Quinn. Otherwise, they wouldn't be such a jerk.
Their plans have been put on hold again and again, isn't it because they haven't found anyone?
Eric's face was cold, his eyes were as deep as a calm sea, and the seabed suppressed the monstrous waves.
His jaw line was taut, terribly cold.
"He can put people in the hands of the falcon, and there is no need to hide them at all. It can only be said that people are not in his hands, and he can't find them. He lied to us."
Chapter 1984
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
Mitchell was a little shocked, "Liar to us? But we don't have any news yet. If we turn our face now, I'm afraid…"
Eric raised his hand and his eyes were cold: "How is the preparation at the Stanton family? The project is important, they must rely entirely on foreign forces, and the Stanton family's foreign industry is completely independent of the domestic Stanton Corporation, which is the best help for us."
"You have already discussed with Mr. Stanton, naturally It's no problem, but if he asks later…"
Mitchell hesitated.
"Let's be honest when you ask. As long as we can lock up the black money. We will have the weight, and then we will be able to plan the next step."
Listening to Eric's words, Mitchell nodded, just looking at his In his eyes, it is indescribably complicated and profound.
If it weren't for the constraints, how could Eric, such a proud person, be in the company of such a person?
Mitchell said, "Should we remind the Stanton family that Ms. Stanton is being targeted, it's not good…"
Eric closed his eyes, his thin lips pursed into a straight line: "No, let's talk to her. The less contact with her. The safer she will be, and the less Liliana will take her to heart."
Mitchell wanted to say something, but seeing that Eric had already made up his mind, the rest he said was nonsense.
It's just that he felt that if Nicole knew in advance to prepare, it might be safer.
But Eric's concerns are also justified. The fewer people know about this matter, the greater the hope of success.
After all, once the plan fails, Ingrid and Quinn will not be able to come back.
…
After what happened halfway through the wedding.
There are many more bodyguards in Nicole and Clayton's residence.
It was not convenient for them to live in the original apartment, so they returned to Stanton's house.
The happiest thing is to talk about the children.
Kai may have suffered a blow, and he had to come back with Julie.
Floyd disliked it.
Julie is also very helpless.
Kai is the purest member of the Stanton family. Even the second child, Nicole, has been plotted to escape death many times in order to protect the country's research results, but she has never been so frightened.
But Master Kai is completely different. He has never suffered such a humiliation since he was a child, especially after hearing the true identity of Liliana, he can't sit still.
He arranged more than a dozen bodyguards for himself and Julie. When he was the most prosperous in the entertainment industry, he had never been so high-profile.
It made Nicole shake her head every time she saw him.
Julie was making coffee, and said that the child has been able to run a few steps recently. Although she will fall over when she runs, she likes to stand and run.
She smelled the fragrance and ran to Julie's leg, staggeringly stretched out her little hand for a hug.
Julie looked at her with a smile:
"Wait a minute baby."
She put down what was in her hand and bent over to pick her up.
Talking about the child holding her face and taking a sip, she smiled and touched the saliva on her face, feeling a little embarrassed.
Julie knew that her heart would melt.
Kai walked in with a dejected look, and also stretched out his hand for a hug.
Julie smiled, ignoring his existence, hugged and talked about the child and went out.
Kai was very hurt: "I see, the doctors say I have post-traumatic sequelae, and I'm a patient, you don't comfort me!"
Julie: "Kai, you should tell us about learning and be brave!"
"Aren't you very brave at the time? When they attacked you, I rushed up first…"
Kai explained, his face still pale.
The other party took out their weapons, but Kai's bravery was used on her.
Julie smiled, reached out and stroked his messy hair, like petting a huge pet dog: "Yes, it's normal to be afraid, I don't mean to blame you, Kai but you can't make a fuss, Now even traveling is a problem, and I'll be going to work for one more day with you!"
She didn't feel helpless because of Kai's state, on the contrary, at that time, even if he ran away, she would not will blame him.
With the knife on his neck, he could choose to move the rescuer.
But he didn't.
His eyes were red when he rushed up, without the slightest hesitation.
conditional on her safety.
She was fine, but he was punched a few times, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught so quickly.
Fortunately, they all passed by without any danger.
But she didn't expect that Kai's sequelae would be so serious. He was almost better, but he couldn't get over it.
It is useless for Grant, Nicole and Clayton to take turns doing their inner work.
He would rather accompany Floyd and talk and play at home every day.
Kai paused, hugged her deeply and said, "One day is too little. You should take a year off, or half a year? A month?"
Julie looked at him without smiling: "I'll just resign."
"That's fine, you'll be responsible for spending money, and leave it to me!"
Kai agreed.
Julie had every reason to speculate whether Kai's state was faked?
Why is this purpose?
In the back garden.
Grant, Nicole and Clayton were playing cards with Floyd.
The four of them were talking and laughing, and the laughter came over, and Butler was watering the flowers behind, and he also echoed a few words.
The sun was very good, not arrogant or impetuous.
Floyd's flushed face was in good luck, and he groaned three times in a row, his mouth closed with joy.
Nicole counted cards in his heart, but no matter how he counted it, he felt that it was wrong.
Grant and Clayton casually chatted about the company's affairs, which was irrelevant.
Only Nicole and Floyd were concentrating on playing cards.
Clayton was sitting on her opponent's house. She should not have lost so badly, but now she has begun to doubt her life!
Just when Nicole didn't want to play anymore, Clayton's cell phone rang.
Clayton glanced at it, picked it up without any hesitation, and didn't hide it deliberately: "Hello?"
Suddenly Clayton felt depress.
Nicole glanced at him. Clayton didn't lift his eyelids. He didn't know what the other party said. It was a foreigner, he answered a few times and hung up.
Then he continued to joke with Floyd sideways as if nothing had happened.
Floyd regarded him as his own son, and wanted to join forces with him to deal with Nicole and Grant.
Grant glanced at Nicole helplessly.
Nicole twitched the corners of her mouth, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Next second, Grant's cell phone also rang.
He looked at the number with a dignified expression for a moment, then walked into the distance and picked it up.
Not knowing what he heard, his eyes turned to this side unconsciously.
It seems to be looking at Clayton.
His face changed several times, slightly shocked.
Chapter 1985
Nicole subconsciously glanced back, just happened to meet Grant Sight.
In the next second, Grant looked away.
It didn't seem to stop deliberately.
He hung up the phone. He came over, his expression didn't change. He just sat in his place and put down the phone.
Floyd waved his hand: "Come on, another round!"
He was rarely happy!
Grant refused, "Dad, Aida said that she has something to do temporarily and has no time to pick up Levi. Let him eat at school."
Floyd was stunned: "How about that? Where is the nutrition in the school? I haven't seen it recently. The news says that all the ingredients used are bad? Are you greedy or a stepfather, let your son suffer this kind of crime!"
Grant calmly lowered his head and sorted out the cards: "I won't go anyway."
Pushing the card, he glared at him angrily: "I'll go."
After saying that, he yelled at Butler to prepare the car, and he wanted to go to the school to pick up Levi in person.
Three missing one and Can't play anymore.
Clayton glanced at Grant meaningfully, and Grant glanced at Nicole lightly:
"The money you lose is mine, your husband won it anyway."
Nicole's eyes widened: "Brother, I Lost a lot too!"
Grant raised his eyebrows, "No way, your sister-in-law has been very strict recently."
Nicole: "…"
She stood up and ran away without saying a word.
Is this big brother still her big brother?
Clayton lowered his head and smiled, sorting out the cards slowly.
"Big brother has something to say?"
Grant gave him a deep look: "Your arms base in South Africa was bombed, don't you know?"
Clayton smiled, "I know, the one just now the phone has already notified me."
Grant pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes.
Such a big thing is enough to cause a sensation, but he actually looks like he doesn't care, and he still intends to continue playing?
He didn't understand a bit.
"Is this your plan?"
Clayton shook his head: "No, it is estimated that it was done by Liliana. It just blew up an arsenal. There was no ammunition in it, it was all empty shells, and there were few casualties."
This shows that Liliana I am still afraid, I just want to give Clayton a warning and scare him.
Let him not be so arrogant!
Grant stared at him motionless: "So suddenly, is he planning to make the next move? Or, he didn't expect it to be a trivial arsenal…"
Finally.
Clayton raised his eyes and looked at Grant with dark eyes, with a faint and warm smile on the corner of his mouth.
The movements of finishing cards are gentle and clean, and the shirt is slightly rolled up, revealing a cold white wrist, and the blue blood vessels are clearly visible.
He wants to calculate others, no one can see through.
"Brother, I promised Mr. Jenson that I would give it to him safely. As for the arsenal, the place is dead. If Liliana wants it, leave it to him. Anyway, things and people have already been transferred. The world is so big, how could he find it? "
His voice was cold, with a bit of casual emphasis. When he raised his hands and gestures, the cloud and the rain had taken shape.
Grant's eyes were slightly suffocated, and his appearance was dark and gloomy.
After a long time, he smiled lightly, and his voice was low and cold, :"Mr. Jenson just got the news, so I just wanted to ask if I need help."
Clayton twitched the corner of his mouth, "I started the transfer half a month ago. I have the intention to hand it over to the government, including the technical staff of my research base. They are the most cutting-edge scientific research talents in the world, and they are hard to come by. But…I want to ask Mr. Jenson for a small favor."
Clayton smiled lightly, and there was a little bit of a deal hidden in his words.
Grant pursed his lips and looked at him.
Clayton paused: "Kai's worries are right. It's all dangerous, I'm going to make a game and let him get out. Otherwise, I really can't let Nicole go out with peace of mind, and Big Brother doesn't want to worry about it all day, right?"
Grant's face softened slightly, "What do you want to do ? "
Clayton looked at him seriously and smiled.
As long as the interests come to one place, everyone's hearts will come together.
The business of the Stanton family is big, and it has nothing to do with the closeness of the top.
But Clayton didn't mind, he was willing to explain his own affairs to him patiently, even if they didn't need their help, he could reassure the people of the Stanton family.
He can protect Nicole, and even the entire Stanton family.
…
Floyd went to pick up Levi back to the old mansion for dinner, and only heard from Levi on the way that Aida was on a business trip today and asked him to follow Grant back to the old mansion for dinner.
That said, it was all planned.
It's not an ad-hoc decision at all.
He was played by his eldest son!
Floyd was so angry that he dared to help him on purpose!
It's one more than one ability!
He held Levi's little hand, and it wasn't too angry, but the more he thought about it, the less happy he became.
As soon as they entered, Kai came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and looked at them with a smile: "Dad is back, and the angry kid is back, ready to eat. Uncle cooks it himself!"
Floyd gave him a disgusting look, "It's really not doing the right thing."
Kai: "…"
Levi liked Kai very much, ran over and hugged his leg and raised his head, embarrassedly reaching out for a hug.
Kai raised her hand and gently kissed him on the face: "Okay, uncle cooks first, and said that my sister is playing games with Tigger, you go!"
Levi nodded embarrassedly, and then ran away Find and talk.
Kai looked at him seriously:
"Dad, please give me a little face in front of the children in the future, otherwise what will happen to my prestige?"
Floyd rolled his eyes: "Go, go, hurry up and call those few over for dinner, Otherwise, you will starve to death!"
As soon as Kai heard it, the fire was not aimed at him. He happily hummed a song and turned back to the kitchen.
Nicole changed clothes and went downstairs. Upstairs. She watched Clayton and Grant finished talking, and was walking here leisurely.
She lay on the window sill and glanced at it, shook her head:
"It's really handsome the more you look!"
Julie passed by, and when she heard these words, she hurried over: "Who is it?"
"Of course it's Big Brother. "
She touched her nose under cover.
Julie's eyes: You pretend, you pretend!
Halfway through the meal, everyone heard the movement of a car outside.
Mr. Anderson glanced at the surveillance camera and snorted: "Chairman, he is from the Lindstrom family."
Floyd frowned, "We have never had anything to do with the Lindstrom family. What are they doing here?"
Grant paused for a second and looked towards Clayton, then looked back as if nothing had happened.
Nicole noticed this and immediately understood.
It was to be trapped in Samuel, South Africa.
She looked up at Clayton: "Is it here to find you?"
Chapter 1986
After a bit of complementary food, She's quite picky eaters, which is a headache.
But Clayton treated this matter patiently and coaxed her little by little. She would be praised for a long time when she sipped it in.
Pure rainbow fart.
Clayton frowned: "I don't know, what about Dad?"
Clayton's implication was to see Floyd's friendship with the Lindstrom family, whether he would give this face.
He is here, but he has learned 70% to 80% of the human feelings of Mediania.
Floyd hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Let them come in."
Although there was no contact, they were all people in the shopping mall, and it was hard to say that they didn't meet.
At this time, if you are turned away, it is no different from falling into a trap.
Mr. Anderson went out to invite someone.
They couldn't continue to eat, Kai stayed to take care of the children, Julie helped, and everyone else went to the living room.
Nicole didn't want to go, because Lumi was the one who stood in the matter between Lumi and Samuel.
The location is a bit awkward.
But 80% of the reason they came was for Clayton, and she wanted to know.
Samuel's parents brought a cart full of gifts and placed them at the door.
Floyd smiled, "It's not a festival, why is it so grand?"
Mr. Lindstrom and Mrs. Lindstrom walked forward with a smile.
"Old man, I've wanted to come and visit you for a long time. You see, I'm also retired. It's good for us to catch a fish together…"
Floyd smiled without smiling.
Mrs. Lindstrom's smile felt like she couldn't keep up, she put powder on her face, but she couldn't hide the pale worry in her eyes.
Nicole could see clearly from the side, but Clayton sat there quietly and contacted the tea that Floyd had just taught her.
Mr. Lindstrom paused, holding Floyd's hand and hesitating to speak:
"Old master Stanton, I have a favor, you must help me!"
Floyd said, "Look, I know that there is nothing without going to the third place. Treasure Palace, if you have something to say, just say it."
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Mr. Lindstrom's face, and he glanced at Clayton who was sitting there, not knowing how to speak for a while.
Still, Mrs. Lindstrom couldn't help it anymore, so she choked and said, "Old master Stanton, you know, we only have one son in our family, and it's because we didn't discipline him well. Before he went abroad, he was riddled with scandals. Foreign business. As a result, he was in danger and he couldn't come back."
Floyd's face froze, a little shocked: "Huh?"
He didn't know about this.
Mrs. Lindstrom's tears just fell: "Some time ago, some terrorist leader wanted to swallow our family's oil business. As you know, the domestic business is sluggish, and we don't have much ability to manage it, and it all depends on foreign companies. In the oil industry, my dad accidentally bought it when he was abroad, and we relied on it to eat. As a result, that person wanted to rely on robbery, but he didn't make any sense. Samuel has been busy working abroad, and I just can't get in touch recently…"
There was silence in the living room.
Mr. Lindstrom sighed and couldn't help but look at Clayton: "Old master Stanton, I know your son-in-law has some connections with South Africa, can you help Mr. Sloan and inquire about the whereabouts of Samuel, even if we don't want the oil, it would be good to bring the people back safely…"
Mr. Lindstrom's words carried a plea.
Floyd looked at Clayton, but did not speak in a hurry. Clayton paused for a second, then the hand that was pouring tea paused slightly. His wrist was clean and neat, revealing his thin forearm, which was very beautiful.
He raised his eyes and looked at Floyd looked at Mr. Lindstrom again: "Dad, Mr. Lindstrom, I'm in serious business and have no dealings with terrorists.
Floyd nodded hurriedly and turned to look at Mr. Lindstrom: "Yes, yes, he is just making a small investment, it's all a small business, those things that terrorists kill and set fires. My good son-in-law would not dare to do it at all!" "
Mr. Lindstrom twitched the corners of his mouth, "Mr. Sloan, of course I know that you are different from those people. I just heard that you have some business there. Maybe there is a way to bring people back, even if you give it a try, please help, I beg you on behalf of our whole family! "
Mr. Lindstrom said that he was about to bend down and bow.
Clayton immediately stood aside to avoid it, pursed his lips, and his eyes sank: "I know you are in a hurry, I don't know for sure, but I can help you find out."
When Mr. Lindstrom heard this, his eyes lit up. "Thank you, Mr. Sloan, thank you…"
Clayton paused, "But whether it can be rescued or not depends on the situation, you go back and wait for the news. "
Mr. Lindstrom's face darkened for a moment.
But hope is better than outright rejection.
He immediately nodded: "Okay, if there is anything that needs to be arranged, I will pay for the cost. I hope that the general manager will do his best, thank you very much."
He looked at Floyd with tears in his eyes, and went over to hold his hand:
"Old master Stanton, thank you. If only I had a daughter, I would marry the daughter to Mr. Sloan!"
Floyd said, "He doesn't like it."
Mrs. Lindstrom choked up a few words, and then followed Mr. Lindstrom to express her gratitude.
When sending guests, Clayton suddenly thought of something and stopped them.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Lindstrom, I don't know who told you that I can help?"
He smiled warmly, harmless to humans and animals.
Mr. Lindstrom hesitated slightly.
Clayton's voice was warm and gentle: "Since it's the middleman, of course I have to tell the other party the results of the investigation, which is better for negotiation."
Mr. Lindstrom gritted his teeth: "It's Eric Ferguson."
Clayton nodded calmly, not saying anything.
As soon as the person left, Floyd's face sank. "Could it be that Eric kicked this trouble over? He really has a face!"
Clayton gave the poured tea to Floyd with both hands, and smiled casually: "It's not surprising, Mr. Ferguson understands me, of course he will immediately Think of me."
Floyd snorted coldly.
Very dissatisfied.
Nicole looked at Clayton: "But can you find it? Did you do it with hard work?"
Clayton nodded: "It's very likely to be him. He's been making a lot of small movements recently, and he's probably starting to lose his patience."
Floyd frowned: "Clayton? If it's too dangerous, forget it, we can't take care of ourselves, if the Lindstrom family's kid suffers revenge again…"
Clayton looked at Floyd with a smile: "Dad, he has already useless if you’re staring at me, it’s useless to retreat, I’ll let someone investigate Samuel’s whereabouts first, and as for the follow-up rescue, of course, leave it to the international police.”
Floyd nodded, then looked at him with a stern face : "On the basis of what we can help, we are all from the Mediania. Can we just watch him die? Although the boy from the Lindstrom family is not doing his job, he has not done anything harmful. If we can help, of course. I want to help."
Clayton paused for a while, then nodded with a very educated look: "Dad is right, it's because I'm too small, and I'll ask Dad to remind me from time to time."
Floyd nodded with satisfaction and very satisfied with Clayton's attitude.
Chapter 1987
Although Clayton has some small problems of selfishness among businessmen, he did not grow up in Mediania after all, and he was educated like a devil in Liberty.
But in time, as long as he is carefully trained, Clayton will definitely become an excellent patriotic young entrepreneur!
Nicole chuckled twice, pulling Clayton to stand up: "Okay, don't go on. Let's go on, Dad needs to give a speech."
Floyd glared at her, his eyes swept across the pile of gifts at the door.
He hurriedly greeted Butler: "Go and send the thing back, you can't have this thing."
Butler responded and turned to go.
Nicole paused: "Wait a minute, let's wait for the news and then go back. If you go back now, the people of the Lindstrom family will not feel at ease."
Floyd nodded silently: "Okay, just as she said, Let's do it!"
In the hotel.
When Liliana got the news, he threw everything in the room angrily.
"What do you mean by not being successfully bombed? Are there so many ammunition in the arsenal that they are all fake? Didn't the people who sent them say to find out the location?"
"Boss, maybe the bomb was in the wrong place. The stock in the library is either ammunition or a pile of abandoned empty shells. I don't know if it was temporarily replaced."
" Then let's blow it up again, no matter what, Clayton must be let down. The thing is bombed, I see what he will deliver to others!"
"Yes."
Liliana's face was extremely ugly, and he held back his anger. He took out the phone, found a number, and after a while, the other party picked up: "Sister, when are you coming to Mediania, only when you come here will Eric listen to us completely, Clayton is almost covering the sky with one hand here. Eric didn't do things for me wholeheartedly at all!" The other party hung up without knowing what to say.
Looking at the darkened mobile phone, Liliana threw it to the ground angrily.
The next day.
Stanton Corporation.
When Nicole went to work in the company, besides Luca, there were two more plainclothes bodyguards beside him, so Logan was not surprised.
The morning meeting was over.
After reading the plan report for the next quarter, Nicole also passed several projects, and her performance was the same as before.
Grant was very satisfied to let her pay attention to her body and go home early to rest.
Nicole responded with a smile, and then called Logan into the office.
Logan: "Ms. Stanton, don't look at me and laugh, just say what you have to say!"
He knew that Nicole was a little dangerous recently.
But it did not affect the normal operation of the company at all.
Nicole restrained her smile and looked out the window: "Let's find out which hotel Liliana is staying at?"
Her voice was very thin and cold.
Have a meal in the building.
How sensitive this name is, he heard Grant mention it several times. He is the greatest source of danger.
"Ms. Stanton, why are you asking him, isn't he a dangerous person?"
Logan's expression changed.
Not only dangerous elements, drug lords, terrorists, and one of the best scum in the world, it is too late for others to hide.
Nicole looked at him and smiled: "Know yourself and the enemy, I just want to know about it and take precautions."
Logan felt an indescribable feeling of helplessness.
Why does he think it's not so simple?
"You don't need to take action, I heard that you almost suffered a loss in his hands twice, I think you should just walk around…"
Nicole's eyes sank slightly, looking at him:
"Let you check, where did all the nonsense come from?"
Logan paused, "Yes."
"Don't let others know."
Logan was taken aback.
Even Grant and Clayton were not allowed to say what she meant.
Things seemed to be more serious than he thought.
But what Nicole ordered had to be done. She has never regretted the decision she made.
Logan nodded and went out.
It didn't take long, before getting off work, I found out where the hotel was.
Liliana has a strange relationship with Eric, of course he will be in a hotel under the Ferguson Corporation.
The one closest to the Ferguson Corporation is the one, you can find out after a little inquiries.
Nicole looked at the name of the hotel, squinted and smiled at him:
"You did a good job."
Logan groaned in his heart:
"Ms. Stanton, you don't want to go to him, do you?"
That's a wolf's den!
Nicole raised her eyebrows and clicked her tongue: "Logan, you really smart."
Logan almost killed himself with a brick.
"Ms. Stanton, don't think too much. People like them are unreasonable. It's useless for you to negotiate any conditions with him. If you are really angry, when the police catch his evidence, we can testify in court. But you absolutely can't send it to the door in person!"
Nicole gave him a blank look, not surprised by Logan's reaction.
"I give it away? Am I that kind of person?"
"Mr. Stanton, why don't you discuss with the chairman and Grant, or you can discuss with the president of the business…"
Logan almost burst into tears.
Nicole took a deep breath: "I won't be impulsive, there are so many bodyguards behind me, nothing can happen, and the countdown starts from now. After an hour, if I don't call you, you can contact other people."
Nicole said, then she stood up with her phone and bag in hand. Before leaving, she didn't forget to warn Logan: "Remember, it's an hour later."
Logan watched her leave with a pale face.
Nicole got into the car directly and Luca drove.
"Ready?"
Luca nodded and looked back at Nicole: "Ready, miss, I will put all the self-defense things in your bag. If there is danger, there is a button at the bottom of the shoulder strap of your bag, and I will rush to it as soon as possible. I don't know if we will go there. Find him, so he won't prepare the trap in advance. If it goes well, you can negotiate within ten minutes."
Nicole hooked the corner of her lips, and looked out the window, the traffic was busy, but it was extremely cold.
She can't sit still.
If Grant and Clayton were told, they would definitely not agree to take risks on their own.
But she must never let the lingering threaten the people around her again.
The last time could be Julie and Kai.
Next time, it can be talking about and Floyd.
She's not one to sit still.
Isn't that a sc*mbag?
She used the method of stinking hooligans to deal with him.
Soon.
She was sitting in the lobby below the hotel, choosing a position near the window, with a bright and open view.
She didn't need to contact him in advance, because Liliana wouldn't be hiding in the room all the time.
15 minutes later.
Liliana, who was planning to go to the clubhouse for a relaxing time, led his men downstairs struttingly.
He saw Nicole sitting there at a glance, her profile was as delicate as a picture, her brows were gentle and amazing, it was hard to take her eyes off.
He walked up immediately, and his men also surrounded the exit.
Staring at Nicole with shining eyes, Liliana looked greedily: "Ms. Stanton, what a coincidence, I thought Clayton wouldn't let you out…"
Chapter 1988
Nicole smiled, her eyes lightened, covering all her emotions. "Why should I hide, what's so scary?"
Liliana became interested and sat directly opposite her: "Aren't you afraid of me? I arrested your friends last time, but Clayton didn't tell you about me? "
He seemed to be asking Nicole if he was afraid of him, but every sentence mentioned Clayton.
Nicole smiled and pretended not to understand: "This is a country ruled by law. These bluffing subordinates you brought are no threat to me. You are doing it secretly, and you dare to touch me?"
Liliana was stunned for a moment, then smiled deeply, Meaningfully.
"Ms. Stanton, you're really just like the legend. You've a really straightforward temper. How can that sc*mbag Clayton coax you into his hands? Apart from being a little white face, he can deceive women, but he is actually very insidious behind the scenes!"
Nicole snorted lightly and shook her head.
If Clayton heard this, 80% would be angry.
However, Nicole still sighed: "It's all good to look good."
Liliana's smile froze, and his eyes were a bit cold: "If you follow me, I will share half of my everything with you, I am better than that insidious and cunning person. The villain is much more generous!"
Nicole raised her eyebrows, "Is that how you coaxed Ingrid?"
"Eric's younger sister, Ingrid, has a very simple mind, she will believe anything she says if she says something nice."
Liliana chuckled complacently.
Nicole gradually suppressed her smile: "Where is Ingrid now?"
Liliana: "Why are you asking this?"
"I'm just curious, she's dead set on you. If she knew you were here to provoke me, she would go crazy. Besides, you and Isn't Eric's cooperation based on Ingrid?"
Liliana squinted at her: "You know a lot."
"Actually, this time, I came to you on purpose." Nicole looked at him , The other party looks unassuming, but the kind of ruthlessness that is inadvertently revealed in the bones is easy to feel.
He is placed in ordinary people, it is different.
Secretly, she suppressed the tension and turbulence in her heart and calmed herself down.
The voice was also somewhat casually calm.
"Looking for me? You figured it out, you want to be my woman?"
There was an undisguised possessiveness in his sharp eyes, the kind of greed that made people feel like a poisonous snake wrapped around his neck.
Her cold and icy letter is swaying in front of him.
Nicole lowered her eyes for a moment, then looked at him with a smile, her eyes were sincere: "I have a batch of goods that were shipped to Southeast Asia, but unfortunately the wind has been too tight recently, because of you, I have been targeted by people from all walks of life, and I can't ship it out. I want to cooperate with you to transport this batch of goods out, and you will take 10% of the goods, how about that?"
Liliana's face froze, the lust in his eyes faded, and a bit of vigilance and playfulness appeared: "Goods? What goods do you have in your hands? Does the Stanton Corporation's business still need my help?"
Nicole calmly took out her mobile phone and found the geographic coordinates: "It's not from the Stanton Corporation, it's from me, just a batch of antiques that can't be shipped out. You know, last time I was kidnapped. It was a snakehead who rescued me. I, my life-saving grace, she asked me to do a little favor, but I didn't agree to it, this was going well, but it ended up in my hands."
When Liliana heard the name "Snake Head", the corners of his mouth twitched . He twitched slightly, his face was a little solemn, and he squinted at her.
Smuggling antiques?
The atmosphere gradually changed from relaxed to solemn.
Nicole truly realized that negotiating with such desperados and negotiating with those in the business field are completely two different feelings.
The former relies on acting, the latter relies on strength.
"Why, Clayton asked you to come, he wants to dig a hole for me?"
Liliana's tone was not good, and he stared at Nicole, trying to find flaws in her face.
Nicole frowned slightly, with a bit of impatience: "Of course Clayton doesn't know about this, he hates women to do this the most."
Liliana chuckled: "That's right, he likes you so much, this kind of thing Why would I let you do it?"
Nicole smiled, "I just earn some pocket money, and I work hard to talk about the project, but I can't earn half of this batch of goods. Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't do such a simple business? Is it?"
Liliana looked at her and narrowed his eyes, his eyes pondering deeply. He obviously still didn't believe Nicole.
All of this feels more like a trap.
Nicole sighed and said with a smile: "Liliana, the location of the warehouse is on my geographical coordinates just now. If you agree, I will have someone bring the key to the warehouse. You will send it to me overnight, and the money will be given to you immediately. If you don't believe it, then forget it, I'll let the snakehead find a way to get it."
While speaking, she stood up, looking like she didn't want to say more.
"Wait, Ms. Stanton, how do you know I can go out? Your customs inspection is so strict, I am also difficult…"
Nicole chuckled: "A terrorist is swaggering here, I don't believe you have no way out. "
"How much?"
"The two warehouses have been sealed with wax, so water can't get in, so it's best to go by water." Nicole's tone was cold, almost really making an equal deal.
"Aren't you afraid that I will swallow it all?" Liliana asked back.
Nicole twitched the corners of his mouth, disdainfully: "Every bag has a timing device inside, you know, if you dare to swallow it, I'll detonate it, and you won't be able to live. " Her voice was calm, but ruthless. She was silent for a second.
"You are really ruthless!" He is weighing whether the deal is worth it.
It is indeed a waste of time here, it is better to do something practical. Eric needs time, and Clayton cannot sit still.
When Clayton brings it back, Eric will be obedient.
How much is Nicole's deceit?
He pondered for a few seconds before negotiating in an unruly tone: "I want to take 20%."
"Really greedy." Nicole scolded.
Instead, Liliana was happy.
"Because everyone knows that they are guarding me, but you come to me to cooperate, no one will doubt our cooperation. This is the safest and there is no risk. Ms. Stanton, this is called darkness under the lights."
Nicole twitched the corners of her mouth, "Whatever…"
Nicole stood up, her voice indifferent: "Besides, if you dare to betray me, your sister Angie, Don't want to step into the territory of Mediania again in this life."
Liliana's face sank, and he suddenly looked up at her.
Nicole chuckled, "Do you think you're the only one who threatens people?"
She said word by word, took her things, turned around and left.
But Liliana's bodyguards were still there to stop her and did not let go.
Nicole secretly put her hand on the shoulder strap of the bag, looked at the person in front of him, and turned her head calmly.
After being silent, she sneered: "I finally know how Clayton is willing to give up the great future of Liberty for you, you are really fascinating…"
Chapter 1989
I just thought Nicole was pretty. Later, I felt that her personality was bright and she was not afraid of anything.
Now, I feel that she is simple but bad, and a little shrewd, and the bad people can't put it down.
How could Eric let go of such a woman?
If he was, he would have to be tied to his bed.
He still waved his hand, and the bodyguard immediately gave way.
Nicole stepped on high heels and left in disdain.
It seems that I don't want to have a dime relationship with a scum like him!
His subordinates stepped forward in confusion: "Boss, be careful of cheating!"
Liliana rolled his eyes at him, smiled, shook his head, and said with certainty, "No, Clayton won't let her come out to dig a hole for me. Clayton protects this woman tightly. Maybe he doesn't know that this woman has a private connection with Snake Head!"
"But how can we be sure that what she said is true?"
Liliana sneered, the corners of his mouth twitched: "Go Check that address to see if there is anything in it, don't you know?" The subordinate nodded.
Liliana smiled: "That's fine. When I look back, I put a green hat on Clayton. I can't wait to see his reaction. It's really interesting!"
So this shipment was just an opportunity for Nicole to cooperate with him.
He raised his head: "Go prepare the cruise, don't let Eric know about it, and let the top student from abroad come over quickly to follow up on Eric's project, I don't believe him."
"Yes." The subordinate replied.
…
Nicole walked to the side of the street and got into the car, sighed, picked up the water next to her and took a big gulp, and let out a slow breath.
Luca kept following the news inside, and when he saw Nicole coming out, he was relieved: "Miss, did he believe it?"
"Have half believed it."
"What should I do then?"
Nicole smiled, " As long as I have the goods in hand, he will trust the other half, and I will let people put the things in."
She took out her mobile phone and sent a text message.
The other party replied: "ok."
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Luca breathed a sigh of relief: "Should I tell my family about this?"
"No, the more people who know, the more Liliana will notice, and we have to keep quiet."
Nicole smiled. "Then give him a fatal blow!"
Luca nodded, feeling that what Nicole said made sense.
"Let's go."
The car was about to start. Suddenly someone knocked on the glass outside.
Nicole looked over and frowned slightly.
She's not going to drop the windows. But the other party continued to knock perseveringly, and there were people in front of her.
She could only fall halfway down, and her eyes looked coldly outside: "Mr. Ferguson, is something wrong?"
Eric's stern and unwavering face appeared in front of her.
It's a pity that Nicole didn't really want to see him.
Eric's brows were cold, his face was tense, his eyes were deep and turbulent, and he suppressed his emotions:"Hav e you gone to find Liliana?"
Nicole's eyes flashed, and he looked away:
"What did you say? Who is Liliana? "
Don't play stupid with me, that's my hotel. People in my hotel saw it with their own eyes, and there are surveillance cameras. What did you tell him?"
Eric lowered his voice and asked. There was a bit of urgency and worry in his deep eyes.
Nicole was extremely disgusted with his tone, and always had a high-level attitude, thinking that he could control everything.
She smiled, "It has nothing to do with you."
Eric's face showed a bit of anger, and he gritted his teeth: "Nicole, you'd better not provoke him, this kind of person is not something you can provoke."
Nicole Looking at him lightly, her eyes were distant and indifferent: "I didn't mess with him, he messed with me first. Eric, I don't want to know what deal you have with him, you'd better be with him. Don't interfere."
Eric sneered: "Sure enough, there is something! Clayton knows about it? He asked you to come? Did he let you take risks as bait?"
His voice was low and cold, and he hated Clayton when he mentioned it terribly.
Nicole frowned slightly: "You are quite imaginative, just like I'm a puppet?"
"Nicole, I'm not kidding you." Eric's expression was solemn.
Nicole also looked back coldly: "I'm not joking with you. Don't worry about me, you still worry about where your sister and your mother are going."
Nicole said that she was about to close the car window, but she was about to completely When it was closed, it was a little unbearable.
She looked out at him and met those shocked, complicated and hurt eyes: "I tell you, I asked a question just now, and I suspect your sister is not in his hands."
After speaking, Nicole raised the window directly, wearing a Putting on her sunglasses and looked at Luca: "Drive."
Luca responded, and then started the car.
Eric was left far behind.
It wasn't until he could no longer be seen that Luca asked, "Mr. Ferguson won't tell others about your meeting, right?"
Nicole opened her eyes slightly, and her eyes flashed a little coldly. She pondered for a moment before opening her mouth: "It shouldn't be, he is also controlled by others, not on the same line as Liliana, and he doesn't have that much energy to manage me."
Nor will he devote his energy to managing her.
Nicole could feel that Eric's aura was not as free and easy as before.
He has been under too much pressure recently. It is estimated that his sister and mother are in the hands of others. It is estimated that he has nowhere to go.
The battle of the trapped beasts refers to the current Eric.
She sighed and closed her eyes. She was not in the mood to think about anything else, nor did she want to join forces with Eric. She just wanted to solve the problem in her own way.
The phone suddenly rang.
It was Logan.
She was stunned, and quickly picked up.
Logan came over with a cautious and worried voice: "Ms. Stanton, is that you?"
Nicole paused, "It's me, Assistant Logan, I just forgot, I've come out safely, don't worry Oh!"
Logan's tone was trembling in his body.
Now I can finally swallow it: "Ms. Stanton, if there is another time, don't tell me, I have had a heart attack since I was a child!"
Nicole: "…"
No promise!
She hung up the phone and went directly back to Stanton's house.
Unexpectedly, Clayton came back early. Obviously he was more busy!
Clayton came up to him, took her coat and hung it up, and looked at her with a warm smile: "Baby, you got off work so late today?"
Nicole froze when Clayton asked this question. She suddenly became nervous. What a common question, but she has a guilty conscience!
Nicole paused for a while, and tried her best to pull out a smile: "Is it too late? It's not too late, my brother hasn't come back yet!"
Clayton smiled, "Big brother called back just now, but he couldn't say that he was here for dinner."
Nicole stiffened: "What else did he say?"
Clayton said, "He asked me to pick up Levi, but I didn't reply to his message, so he called me directly. Fortunately, I went to pick it up."
……
Chapter 1990
Seeing that Clayton wanted to continue to ask, Nicole coughed and asked. She waved: "Come here and let me kiss first."
Clayton paused, looking at her deeply, but the tips of his ears turned red unconsciously.
He walked over obediently, his eyes darkened, and he didn't say any nonsense.
Nicole held his face and gently touched his lips. When he wanted to let go, he suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, making her stick tightly to his body.
From a kiss to an endless kiss…
Just after the first kiss, the two of them were panting, their faces flushed, and they braked in time.
After all, this is Stanton's house, so it shouldn't be too much.
Fortunately, neither Floyd nor Butler came out to destroy it, otherwise, They really don't know how to meet people.
Nicole opened her eyes to look at him. Her eyes seemed to contain a layer of water, the mist was hazy, bright and charming.
For Clayton, the test was too great. Just when he was about to say something, his body suddenly froze.
His eyes moved slowly, his throat moved, his voice was hoarse, but coaxed:
"Tell me about the Lil Chatty, what are you peeking at?"
Nicole also froze, and quickly looked over.
Talk about the child standing there leaning against the wall, staring at him with big eyes, watching motionlessly.
I don't know how long I watched, but my eyes were innocent and curious.
Clayton straightened Nicole's hair before walking over.
Nicole felt a little guilty, so she followed: "Tell me, baby, why are you walking without a sound?"
Clayton glanced at her: "She didn't wear shoes, and she crawled over."
"Oh."
Talk about Lil Chatty Pointing at Clayton's face, and at Nicole's face.
Finally, her little finger pointed to her own face: "Boom…"
She looked at the two excitedly and wanted to participate.
Clayton pursed his lips and squeezed lightly on her cheek.
Really just pinch it.
He smiled and stood up and left.
Said that Lil Chatty turned to look at him in disappointment, and finally looked at Nicole with anticipation, and pointed to his own face: "Boom…"
Nicole couldn't bear it anymore, so she hugged her heavily gave a big kiss.
Talking about Lil Chatty, shehe shook her legs with satisfaction and smiled.
Clayton came out of the kitchen not long after, and brought a cup of sour plum soup.
Said that the children's eyes widened in surprise, but it was a pity that Clayton handed it to Nicole.
"Try it, Kai just taught me to make it."
Nicole twitched the corners of her mouth and wanted to say something, but she took a sip first and nodded in affirmation.
Then she looked at him seriously and said,
"Next time, let the Kai, Kai, do it himself, he taught you because he was too lazy."
Clayton frowned slightly, thinking about Kai's purpose?
Kai came out of the kitchen and pinched her waist: "Don't think I can't hear. Nicole, do you dare to speculate on your brother's good intentions?"
Nicole raised an eyebrow and said with a smile: "Kai, Kai, are you feeling better today? Are you still having nightmares?"
Kai was in a hurry, turned his head and left.
Can't be bothered.
Nicole smiled and looked at Clayton: "Don't be fooled by him, he is a chicken thief!"
Clayton took his cup and smiled casually: "Kai is kind, don't you like it? I can make it for you to drink when I learn it, not to mention I enjoy the process of cooking."
His voice was warm and pleasant, not in a hurry.
Inexplicably felt reassuring.
…
Floyd took Levi to study, and it was a headache.
Still sighing at the dinner table, it is really difficult for children to learn now.
He looked again at the heartless talking about Lil Chatty, thinking about the grand plan he made for her, and thinking about giving it up for the time being!
Everyone finished eating.
Levi said that he was taken to play in the room, and Nicole and Floyd were talking downstairs.
Just as he was talking, the butler came in.
"Chairman, the people from the Lindstrom family are here again."
Floyd frowned slightly and glanced at Clayton who was talking about the project with Kai.
Clayton immediately understood and walked over: "I had news about Samuel before. I was afraid that they would be in a hurry, so I sent someone a letter to them, but they haven't come back yet. I don't know why they are here?"
Floyd frowned slightly, "Any news?"
Clayton nodded, and went over to pour a cup of tea lightly: "Being locked in prison under a different name, it is more difficult to find out, but it went well."
He was locked in prison after changing his name.
No wonder the people from the Lindstrom family couldn't find it.
Simply looking for a needle in a haystack!
But in Clayton's place, is it so easy?
Compared to Floyd's astonishment, Nicole was still calm.
Anyway, people live a long time, they can see everything.
She smiled and looked at Clayton, "Are you alright?"
Clayton frowned slightly, and he was a little speechless: "The conditions are tough and I am ill, but when I come back, I should be able to get medical treatment."
Nicole nodded, originally in South Africa and do not expect a healthy return.
Floyd restrained his emotions and sighed: "Let the people from the Lindstrom family come in. My son has been lost, and it was hard to find it. It's normal to be anxious."
"Yes."
After a while.
Mr. Lindstrom and Mrs. Lindstrom came in again with a cartload of things.
"Old master Stanton, Mr. Sloan, thank you so much. Mr. Sloan, you actually found out the news of Samuel for us. We really can't sit still. We have to come to the door to thank you!"
Mrs. Lindstrom nodded with eyes: "Yes, Thank you, Mr. Sloan. Thank you Ms. Stanton. Thank you Chairman Stanton. Your family is our great benefactor."
Floyd waved his hand, "What are you talking about?"
After a few greetings.
Floyd asked them to sit down and talk.
Mr. Lindstrom rubbed his hands together, looked at Clayton awkwardly, and said, "Mr. Sloan, how many days will it take for Samuel to come back?"
Clayton paused, "At least two months."
"So long?" Mrs. Lindstrom exclaimed, "Can you bring the person back sooner? I'm really worried about his health…"
Clayton smiled: "If you follow normal channels, it's only a matter of two or three days for him to fly. But he can't come back through the normal channel, there are countless eyes staring at him, and he will die as soon as he comes forward. I arranged for Young master Lindstrom to come back and take a special channel. It's already the most time-saving."
Mrs. Lindstrom's face turned pale in shock.
Mr. Lindstrom hurriedly grabbed her: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Mr. Sloan has helped you, he must have tried his best."
Mr. Lindstrom smiled and looked at Clayton: "I understand, the situation abroad is complicated, and it doesn't matter for two or three months as long as he can survive. But the message you sent said that he was ill, and I was worried that he would not be able to survive…"
Clayton hesitated for a few seconds before he spoke meaningfully: "The cruise ship is There is an accompanying doctor. As far as I know, his disease is a very common disease in South Africa and can be treated, so this is why we let you prepare medical aid in advance."
Mr. Lindstrom nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
Mrs. Lindstrom couldn't help but hesitated, "Actually, if we sent a helicopter, wouldn't it save a lot of time?"
