Clayton glanced at Nicole and laughed.
"Tyler is a treacherous person that's capable of anything. He's not afraid. He just hasn't figured out how much power I have yet. If he knows that I’m weaker than him, he'll definitely fight back. Do you know what a hyena is?”
Nicole nodded.
Clayton's eyes darkened slightly. "He is one.”
Nicole was silent for a while and did not make a sound.
After a while, Clayton thought that Nicole was frightened, so he stretched out his hand to embrace her and patted her on the shoulder.
"It’s okay. It's normal to be afraid. He won't be able to touch you with me around."
Nicole paused for a second and slowly said, "But he's now targeting my family. He told me that the Stanton Mansion was on fire. I was too worried about my dad and Chatty, so I ran out here. As a result, Kai and Julie were in his hands... Who knows who he'll target next?"
Nicole did not know what to do when the people around her were implicated.
She could not take good care of everyone and felt very guilty.
Clayton was silent. He fixed his gaze behind Nicole in a direction with no one around.
“Then I'll kick him out so that he won’t be able to touch us."
His voice was cold. It seemed like he was speaking to her, but it also did not seem like it.
Nicole felt like a boulder smashed onto her heart, bringing up ripples of emotions.
For some reason, her dependence on Clayton had surpassed what it used to be.
Before she knew it, her heart slowly changed.
After a while, Nicole looked up at Clayton.
"How did you know that I came out?"
Clayton smiled. "Would you believe me if I said that I had an intuition?"
"Yes.”
Nicole smiled with curved eyes. Clayton stroked her head and sighed.
You wouldn't miss Ian's important moment, but you weren't there, so I knew that something was off. When I came out, a waitress told me that the Stanton Mansion was on fire. That's when I realized that something was wrong."
Nicole thought, ‘So that’s how it is. It's intuition after all.'
If Clayton had not been so vigilant, Nicole would have been taken away by Tyler by now.
Nicole ;h#:SMY? Clayton returned to the hotel, told the waiter that they were leaving, and went straight home.
They really had no mood to stay.
Ferguson Corporation.
Mitchell was dealing with the progress of the cooperation with Stanton Corporation.
Eric sat on the side, smoking a cigarette.
His expression was indifferent and aloof.
Soon.
Tyler pushed open the door and entered.
"Brother-in-law! The beautiful woman I saw last time was Clayton's woman. Why don’t we capture her and bring her to South Africa? By then, let alone that South African military base, I can have as many military bases as I want!”
The office was dead silent.
Mitchell’s face darkened, and he subconsciously looked at Eric.
Eric looked extremely indifferent. In an instant, his eyes were as cold as ice.
He raised his eyes and looked at Tyler coldly.
"Who did you see?' "The woman who hit me on the golf course. Don't think that I'm clueless. I know that you deliberately stopped me from finding her. Turns out, she’s your ex-wife, huh? She’s so beautiful!”
Tyler recklessly recalled the woman's appearance and temperament. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to get his hands on her.
Eric looked at Tyler with icy eyes.
"You’d better not touch her.”
Tyler shook his head and smiled grimly.
