The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2007

After a while, Nicole finally realized who " that woman" was referring to.

Angie was the one who abducted her.

Nicole pursed her lips and shook her head.

The ruthlessness in Clayton's eyes finally faded a little, and he quickly hid his emotions.

Clayton touched Nicole's wrist, which had gotten skinnier, and felt even more heartbroken.

"That's good. If she dares to hurt my baby, I’ll definitely get back at her."

Nicole was gratified to see Clayton like this. Perhaps she felt a strong attachment to him because she had just regained consciousness. She also felt aggrieved.

"She has a big Tibetan Mastiff that’s really scary. No one can get past it.”

Clayton's eyes flickered. He smiled calmly and comforted her in a soft voice.

"Really? Don't be afraid. It’s all over now. You won't see that beast again."

Nicole nodded and was not surprised.

She would not go to that island again, nor would she go to any island ever again in the future because of her various harrowing experiences on islands.

Nicole looked at Clayton with watery eyes.

"Sell my island!"

That small private island in the tropics cost her $2 billion.

Although she did not visit it yet, she no longer had the mood to go.

That was because her life was endangered numerous times at sea or on an island.

Nicole did not want to leave the landmass for the rest of her life.

No wonder Floyd often said that farmers had the most stable and simple lives.

Clayton frowned in confusion.

"Didn’t you always want to go there?"

Nicole shook her head decisively.

"No. No more islands!"

Clayton paused. After a while, he understood why she said that.

He did not know whether to laugh or cry at that, but he also understood that Nicole was traumatized.

Okay. We won't go anymore if you don't want to. I'll get a broker to sell it for you."

Nicole reminded him.

"I bought it for $2 billion, so don’t lose money on the sale. It's all my third brother's hard-earned money!”

Clayton could only nod in agreement.

However, it was a good sign that she diverted her attention so quickly.

Clayton then explained to her about the isl> f#;YMW<'s sale.

"Actually, you bought it at a high price. Although rich people like this kind of small island with no big land masses nearby, they generally use such a place to store prohibited items or for other special purposes. That’s because ordinary tourists won't go there even if the island is developed for travel. You should've been able to buy it for $30 million..."

Nicole's face became paler by the minute.

Finally, she could not help but interrupt him.

"Enough!"

Seeing her pale face, Clayton looked at her with concern.

"Where are you hurting?”

Nicole looked at him sadly.

"My heart...”

Clayton immediately shut up and tucked her under the quilt.

Nicole fell asleep as soon as she closed his eyes because she was depressed.

When she woke up again, the sky was already dark.

It was midnight.

The stars outside twinkled.

Only a dim wall lamp was lit in the ward, so the room was dark.

Nicole was not used to it. She felt uncomfortable and insecure when she did not see Clayton.

She tried to sit up, but the pain in her ribs was unbearable.

Thus, she lay back down and calmed herself.

She heard voices coming from outside approaching.

It was Clayton's voice that sounded cold and deep.

"Of course, she wouldn’t admit to it. If she dared to admit that she had someone push Nicole on purpose, she would die. But whether she admits to it doesn't matter, since I have no care for evidence.'

Another person said, “Mr. Sloan, Angie has a lot of forces backing her. She's even more formidable than Tyler. If her people find out that we've captured her, they may target us. By then...”

Clayton chuckled and sighed.

"Didn’t she deliberately spread the news of her disappearance before this? How would anyone know that she's in our hands? Did she think that I'll let her off the hook if she didn't touch Nicole?"

The other person lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Sloan, did Angie have a motive for abducting Madam? According to Eric Ferguson's mother, Angie wanted to threaten Eric to make a choice between them and recognize his son. But I have a feeling that it isn’t that simple. Moreover, this bold move isn't at all like Angie's way of doing things."
