Nicole paused and nodded. âYes, it was him.â
After all, only Clayton mentioned that speculation before.
Unexpectedly, the Stanton family found out this secret as well.
Her heart felt like it was being weighed down by a boulder.
Nicole was not that happy. She only found it ridiculous.
The Sloan family was such a powerful family, and they had many close political and business relations
on the surface. They looked spick and shiny, but in reality, they were so dirty and nasty.
It was no wonder Quavon was so worried about Isaacâs disappearance!
Kai said, âThey went from brothers to being father and son? Isnât that relationship too messy? His
father wonât pop out of his grave to hit them, right?â
Julie quietly tugged Kaiâs shirt.
âThatâs not the point. With this fact, thereâs finally a reason as to why the Sloan family rejects Clayton
so much.â
Isaac was afraid that there would be another person to compete with him for the family fortune.
Isaac knew about this long ago.
Kai nodded and bragged seriously. âJulie, youâre the smartest!â
Everyone was speechless.
Was everyone else dumb then?
Floyd stayed silent and did not say anything. Nicole looked at his face and lowered her eyes slightly.
She could vaguely guess what he was thinking. Was he worried that she would be dragged into
Clayton âs matter? Nicole could not say with certainty that it would not happen, but she would try her
best to stay out of it as much as possible. Julie stood up and pulled Kaiâs hand. âKai, werenât you going
to show me your collection of autographed photos of the big shots in the circle?â
Kai suddenly stood up. His eyes lit up. âThatâs right, itâs the collection of the century. Iâll give it to you if
you marry me!â Julie laughed. âI donât want it. Iâll just look at it.â Kai brought her upstairs in
disappointment. Grant sat across from Nicole. His voice turned cold and solemn. âWe canât take a
stand even if the Sloan family is going against Clayton. Do you understand?â
Nicole looked at him. Although she felt conflicted,
she still nodded. If the Stanton family took a stand, it was the same as openly fighting the Sloan family.
Win or lose, there would be many people taking the opportunity to make small movements. It was
bound to cause a very ugly scene in the circle.
Stanton Corporation would not get any benefit from that. To Stanton Corporation, Clayton Sloan was
just a cooperative partner. They could not even weigh the pros and cons. Nicole just felt more
heartbroken for Clayton. He had been fighting alone for so many years, and in the end, he was still
alone.
To the side, Floydâs voice was deep and cold. âHe saved Lil N before, so we canât go too far.â There
was silence. Nicoleâs eyes stung slightly, and Floyd raised his hand to touch her head.
Floyd naturally understood what his daughter was thinking.
Watching from the sidelines was the same as leaving Clayton to fend for himself.
Even if they did not have deep feelings, there was still friendship between them.
However, for the sake of benefits, they had to make the best choice.
âDonât worry, as long as heâs in Mediania, weâll be able to protect his life. However, we canât help with
his other affairs.â
Grant nodded with a cold and solemn face and raised his eyes to look at Nicole.
The corners of Nicoleâs lips curled up. âHe has his own preparations, so we donât have to worry.
Clayton might not necessarily lose.â
Although there seemed to be a power disparity, no one knew the Sloan familyâs weaknesses better
than Clayton.
Floyd pursed his lips, a flash of coldness flashing in his eyes.
âStrangers were coming in and out around the mansion these days. Iâm guessing itâs also related to the
Sloan familyâs business.â
Nicole and Grant were instantly shocked.
Grantâs aura was calm and steady, but his tone was a little apprehensive. He immediately took out his
phone.
âIâll have someone take care of it.â
âForget it. I already told Luca to deal with it. Itâs just a lesson, so you guys donât need to worry.â
