The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2006

Clayton held the phone tighter and let out a low "mm".

Grant could tell that something was wrong and immediately said, "Is Nicole next to you? Let me speak to her."

Clayton paused for a second. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, Clayton pursed his lips and said, "She can't answer the phone at the moment. Big Brother, we’re now at the hospital.”

Clayton paused and took a deep breath.

He briefly told Grant about what happened.

Although Clayton wanted to hide it, he knew that he could not, unless he took Nicole far away to a place that the Stanton family could not touch.

Otherwise, this matter would be known sooner or later.

If Clayton deliberately hid this from the Stantons, all his efforts to get the Stanton family to accept him would be wasted.

Nicole loved her family, so Clayton could not do that.

In any case, this was his fault.

Grant's voice was deep and cold as he said, "So, she almost died there?”

Clayton was silent.

Grant said, "I'll send someone to pick you two up right away.”

"Big Brother, we're staying here for the time being. It’s very safe here, and Tyler can't touch this place."

Clayton rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice, "Besides, they'll keep eyeing Nicole as long as this isn’t settled."

A long time passed.

Grant probably understood what Clayton meant. Neither of them said it explicitly.

Grant said, “Take care of my sister."

"Okay."

Clayton replied.

A few seconds passed.

Grant spoke again after he calmed down.

"Don't ruin your future because of one person. Eric’s identity is special, so he can’t be harmed in your hands. Otherwise, you and Nicole will be held accountable."

Clayton did not answer.

He only responded after a full minute.

Grant breathed a sigh of relief.

After Grant hung up the phone, he could feel the strong hatred that Clayton had for Eric when he mentioned that name earlier.

If Clayton was more ruthless, everyone would be dead by now.

Grant also hated Eric because Eric mostly brought trouble to Nicole >c';ULT> the Stanton family.

However, morally speaking, Eric did not do anything terribly wrong.

Eric should not die in Clayton's hands.

Morality should not be affected by one's feelings.

After that, Grant called Mr. Jensen.

"Did you let Tyler go on purpose?"

Mr. Jensen paused. "Mr. Stanton, shall we meet up and talk about this?”

Grant said, "There's no need for that. My sister was in danger because you let Tyler go. How should we settle this account?”

Business people always had respect for politicians.

The Stanton family was no exception.

The Stanton family maintained a good relationship with the political world over the years, but if either parties’ interests were threatened, they would not continue to treat each other with sincerity.

Mr. Jensen was silent for a moment before he said, "We also just found out. The person we sent to watch Tyler didn't see Nicole, so we thought that everything was fine. We didn't expect this kind of accident to happen."

Grant’s tone was extremely cold, and his eyes were gloomy.

"Mr. Jensen, it's no problem if I avenge my sister, right?”

"Of course, there’s no problem with that."

Many bodyguards surrounded a private hospital in Erethea.

When Nicole woke up, she felt a discomfort in her throat and an itch in her lungs that made her feel like coughing. However, when she coughed, her chest hurt terribly.

Hearing this, the person sitting on the side suddenly stood up, walked over, and asked her softly, "You’re awake? Where else are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Nicole squinted at the person in front of her. That warm and familiar face made her heart tremble slightly.

It was finally not Angie's face.

Did this mean that she was rescued?
