Ingrid and Quinn sneaked out from Falcon's villa.
There were not many houses on that road.
In the dark, the two women were running as fast as they could along the road.
They did not know how long they had been running.
Suddenly, a car with blinding headlights appeared in front of them.
When they saw the people inside, Quinn's and Ingrid's expressions changed dramatically. A sense of despair came over them.
The person inside the car said with a cold voice, 'Take them back."
Mediania.
Clayton and Nicole got off the plane and saw Grant, who had been waiting there for a long time.
Nicole secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she did not see anyone else with Grant, which meant that Grant did not tell anyone about her situation.
Grant glanced at Nicole and did not scold her. Instead, he looked at Clayton and asked, "Is it resolved?”
Clayton nodded calmly.
"Someone deliberately set us up for the accident in SF Corporation, but it's easy to solve. It’ll just take some time."
Grant nodded and did not ask more about it. They then got into the car.
"Lil N, Aida's at the back. You can sit with her."
Seeing that Grant's suggestion was not up for discussion, Nicole looked at Clayton with concern.
Nicole thought, "Will Grant take out his anger on Clayton...?'
Clayton smiled and nodded to reassure her.
He hugged Nicole's shoulders and led her to the car behind.
When Clayton opened the car door, he saw Aida sitting in the back seat, so he nodded gently and said with a warm voice, "Sister-in-law."
Aida smiled and nodded. She put her phone aside and turned off the screen.
"Lil N, come in. I made some dessert. Are you hungry?”
Aida took out a paper bag with no logo on the side. She made the desserts herself.
Nicole did not care if it was homemade. She just felt hungry.
After all, no one would be able to endure starving for a full day.
Nicole nodded. Clayton held Nicole's arm and helped her to get into the car. He gently fixed her messy skirt before he closed the door with a smile.
When Clayton turned around, his smile subsided as he walked back to Grant’s car.
Grant was finishing a phone call in the back seat.
"Mm, she's back. You can get our people to retreat now."
Clayton got in the car
"Big Brother, did you ask someone to find Nicole?"
Grant put down his phone and said indifferently, "Brother-in-law, our family can't afford Nicole getting into another accident."
Clayton felt like his heart became as heavy as a boulder when Grant called him " brother-in-law".
He was speechless.
In Aida’s car.
Although Nicole did not devour the food, she ate a lot more compared to her usual appetite.
Aida handed over a glass of water and said softly, "Eat slowly. Don't choke.”
After Nicole took a sip of water, she finally felt that her strength was gradually coming back.
"Thanks, Aida. Why did you come here?"
Aida smiled. "When you were missing, your brother was so anxious that he didn't sleep all night. He also didn't dare to tell Dad and could only get our people in Liberty to search for you. When we finally got some news of your whereabouts, you came back. You’re very lucky...”
Nicole paused.
She felt really guilty for always getting into trouble. Floyd already had surgery once because of her, so he would not be able to take it if something bad were to happen.
"I was too impulsive and careless... I'm really sorry, Aida...”
