Read Chapter 1278 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat
Nicole could not help but cough. The warehouse was filled with flammable building materials. Once the
window was opened, the fire would spread rapidly, and she would soon be burned alive.
She leaned against the other side of the wall to breathe and keep herself away from the scorching
heat.
No matter how hard she held on, it was just getting hotter and hotter.
Nicole felt her head was starting to get dizzy, and the temperature around her was getting warmer like
she was in an oven.
Clayton woke up and rubbed his head that hurt like hell, only to find himself lying in an unfamiliar place.
His surroundings looked like a hotel. He was not far from the hotel where he and Nicole were staying.
âHow did I end up here?â Clayton thought.
His brain spun, and he suddenly thought of the sneaky man that he went after. As soon as he saw the
man, another man sprang out of nowhere and violently struck him.
That man was extremely fast and had received professional training.
Clayton did not even have the opportunity to react and fell U ICO ISCIOUS.
He came to his senses, jerked out of bed, went out the door, and saw an unexpected person.
Autumn got up from her seat and walked over joyfully. The concern in her eyes was unconcealed. âMr.
Sloan, youâre awake. Are you hungry? I asked them to prepare something. Why donât you eat a little
first?â
Clayton looked at the majestic and authoritative man sitting there, Quavon Sloan.
âHow did Quavon, who shouIdâve been in Liberty, get here? Surprisingly, I didnât even receive any news
of this?â Clayton thought.
Clayton suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
He pushed Autumn, who had come up to him, away, and his tone was bitter.
âDid you do this?â
Clayton looked at Autumn and Quavon. When he thought about the problem in this Sand City project, it
was not difficult to imagine who was behind it.
He was really so careless that he had forgotten about the most dangerous person.
Nicole was still in danger and clueless about this.
Quavon looked intimidating, and the gloominess on his face was undisguised.
He sat there and raised his eyes to look at Clayton.
âWho are you talking to? You should be grateful that youâre my son, thatâs why youâre still alive now.
Otherwiseâ¦â
Ouavon did not finish his sentence.
Otherwise, Clayton would have been burned to death in the fire with that woman.
Claytonâs eyes were dangerous and sharp as he glared at the cruel old man in front of him.
âGrateful? I grew up wondering countless times what sins I committed in my past life to be reborn as
your son!â
Clayton had a cold smile at the corners of his lips. It was completely different from the gentle and
modest smile he had when facing Nicole.
Quavonâs face was dark and cold. He cast a sidelong glance at Clayton. âNo matter what, you have to
learn to resign yourself to fate, donât you think?â
Clayton did not speak.
Autumn rushed over from the back. Her voice was gentle.
âYou two are father and son, so you shouldnât quarrel. Mr. Sloan, Chairman Sloan came here specially
to bring you back to Liberty.â
Clayton raised his eyebrows. âBring me back to Liberty?â
Autumn laughed and could not contain the excitement in her voice. âYes, Chairman Sloan said that you
have enough experience outside, so you can go home to take over the Sloan family business. Mr.
Sloan, congratulations!â
Claytonâs eyes darkened. He lifted his head to look at Quavon.
âIs that so?â
Quavon let out a cold grunt. âThatâs enough. Are you really planning to stay here forever? Donât you
want to keep everything youâve worked so hard for in Liberty?â
Even if Clayton could move his business to Mediania, his contacts and resources in Liberty would all
gradually dissipate with time.
It was not worth the loss.
Quavon did not believe that such a refined egoist like Clayton would go to this extent for a woman.
For so many years, it was true that Clayton suffered grievances, so Quavon came to give Clayton a
way out.
