Clayton looked at Nicole and smiled. âDo you think anyone would believe me?â
Compared to the beloved Isaac, everyone was more willing to believe that it was Clayton who did it.
Nicole choked. Isaac was really detestable.
âFrom that point on, I was kicked out of the company and my father began to be wary of me. He held
back my activities everywhere and handed over the company and everything at home to his younger
brother, Isaac. Just then, Michaelâs father got into an accident, and he entrusted Michael and his wife to
me.
At that time, I overheard that Isaac was afraid of having an additional person to share the inheritance, so
he wanted to kill Michaelâs mother and Michael. I immediately took them under my wing and got married
as fast as I could.â
Clayton looked at Nicole when he said this.
After all, his last marriage brought about a lot of opinions regarding him and put him in the criticisms of
many people.
He was already used to it.
However, he did not want Nicole to get used to it too.
When he saw that she did not look very concerned, he sighed in relief.
âAfter the Sloan family found out about this, they didnât want the scandal to disgrace them, so they let me
take them away on the condition that Michael keeps the Sloan last name. Then, the day Michaelâs
mother died, he met youâ¦â
It was when Nicole saved Michael. Nicole saved Clayton too.
Everything was predestined.
Nicoleâs heart trembled slightly. It seemed like she came into contact with them at a very delicate point in
time, at the turning point of fate. Otherwise, five years later, she would not have gotten the contract with
Clayton and got to know him. However, she had a question.
âWhy does Michael have to keep the Sloan last name? Since you left that place, it doesnât matter what
last name he has, right?â Clayton smiled and looked at her helplessly. As expected of a pampered young
lady, Nicole looked at things too simply.
âMichael keeping his last name will remind all of them that heâs not a child that they can simply get rid of.
Itâs to intimidate them. Only this way will no one dare to lay their hands on Michael.â
Nicole was struck by a sudden realization and nodded. She did not think of it that way. âBesides, Michael
is my brotherâs only child. My brother was a child born to my father and his wife, so thereâs nothing
shameful about his existence,
unlike me. He canât surrender his rights and change his last name.â A cold light flashed in Claytonâs eyes.
Clayton wanted Michael to keep that last name even if it was just to irritate Isaac.
The Sloan family did not only have one child. Michael had a legitimate right to inherit the Sloan family
fortune.
Clayton did not fight for it because he was disdainful of it, not because he was afraid.
Nicole nodded and watched as he moved swiftly to take the tomatoes from the refrigerator and cut them.
Then, he took out the eggs.
Her attention was instantly attracted. âWhen did I have all these in my fridge?â
She walked over and opened it. The fridge was full of ingredients, all surprisingly fresh.
âWhen did I prepare these?â Nicole wondered. Clayton laughed and knocked her on the head.
âThe fridge was empty. What would you do if youâre too hungry and canât order takeout?â
Nicole blinked. âIâll just tell Logan to send food overâ¦â
The Logan that Grant left to her could do anything!
Clayton âs smile faded slightly. âLogan is also a human being with a family and wife. If you keep making
him run errands during off-work hours, he might not say anything, but heâll blame you for being an
inconsiderate boss in his heart.â
Nicole paused. She did not think of this before.
She never used to let Logan run errands when it was too late at night. What she did so far was probably
not overboard, right?
