The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 1148

Clayton froze. His eyes turned slightly colder.

Nicole looked at Clayton's face and knew that he was not going to tell her about it.

At that moment, she wanted to draw back her hand, but Clayton held it tightly.

He wrinkled his eyebrows and looked stoic.

"Have you heard something?"

"What do you think?"

At this time, Nicole did not ask him directly why he did not tell her about his financial crisis.

A "what do you think?" seemed to leave him some room for maneuver, but it also seemed direct enough.

Clayton looked at her for a few seconds. He looked frank as he lowered his head and laughed.

"I know."

"What do you know?"

Nicole asked him back.

"Did you hear that I'm going bankrupt?"

Nicole did not make a sound.

Her silence showed everything.

Clayton squeezed her hand. His tone was a bit

helpless. "I put out this fake news, so I didn't tell you."

Nicole froze and looked at him with a blank face.

"It's fake?"

Clayton nodded his head.

"Isaac colluded with my rival to set a trap for me and wanted me to fall for it, so I showed them that I did. But before I fell into their trap, I turned it to my advantage. They’ll only fall into the trap I set for them without hesitation after they find out that I'm about to go bankrupt."

Nicole opened her mouth.

She instantly felt that her worry was superfluous.

How could a successful person like Clayton who had dominated Wall Street go bankrupt overnight, and for such low-level reasons?

This did not seem right, so she should have checked it out earlier.
