Nicole was dumbfounded.
Floyd added, "He was shot to death.”
What Nicole held in her hand fell to the ground, and her face turned pale from shock.
Floyd's voice was low as he continued," There’s no guarantee that it’s not Eric's enemies. It's still unclear who was behind it, but this matter has been covered up. Eric might have returned to Mediania this time with a motive. Tell your brother to be more vigilant in any interaction with them."
Nicole became more serious when Floyd said to be more vigilant.
She also knew Floyd told her about this first because he was afraid that she would suffer a loss.
Floyd took a deep breath. He looked exhausted. "I've inquired about what's going on in Liberty. There is indeed something wrong with SF Corporation. There is a slight possibility that someone tampered with the project, but you should still remind Clayton to be cautious."
Nicole nodded.
"Got it, Dad."
Floyd stood up and said, "Alright, I won't stay to eat with you. I need to get some sleep since I have to accompany Chatty to study in the morning!"
Nicole pursed her lips. "Sleep well. You should just teach her to fish!” "That's a good idea, but she scared all my fish away!"
Floyd let out a light laugh and headed upstairs.
Nicole smiled and went out with her bag.
She called Grant and relayed Floyd's words. Grant was not that surprised to hear the news and hung up after saying he knew about it.
Nicole made another phone call to Clayton.
It was evening in Liberty. Clayton had just gotten off the plane, and he was travel-worn.
He did not sound like he was at the hotel.
"I just went to the office. The situation is quite critical, so I may need to stay here for a few more days."
Clayton sounded a little tired. Nicole could hear it.
"Okay. It's alright. Call me if you need anything!”
Nicole did not tell Clayton about Eric because she thought that he should concentrate on the problem in Liberty.
Otherwise, something might go wrong if Clayton was distracted.
Clayton talked to Nicole for a while, telling her to take good care of herself since the weather might get colder in the next few days.
