Clayton's eyes darkened. He nodded.
Then, he lowered his head, kissed Nicole's forehead, and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to wait for me here?"
Nicole's expression changed a little. She pursed her lips.
"Is it Angie inside?”
Clayton did not deny it, which meant that he acquiesced to her words.
Nicole's expression suddenly became complicated.
She originally had some sympathy for Angie, especially since Angie was infatuated with Eric, Nicole could see her past self in Angie.
Angie was so pitiful.
However, Angie did not react like Nicole. Nicole only felt ashamed for the way that Angie hurt others for the sake of her relationship.
Especially because Angie kept saying that she would not hurt Nicole, but in the end, Angie's men pushed Nicole into the water anyway.
This made Nicole’s scalp tingle.
Angie had already gotten what she wanted, and Eric also chose Quinn according to her wishes.
Why did Angie still need to do this?
Nicole was puzzled.
Clayton said softly, "Don't be scared later. We won't kill her, but we’ll have to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, she'll think that you're a pushover and will trouble you again."
Nicole looked at Clayton's dark and bottomless eyes. She did not know if it was because of the lighting, but Clayton, who was standing in front of her, gave her a dark and strange feeling.
However, he gently stroked her hair and tucked it behind her ear.
His smile did not reach his eyes which were like a cold, black lake.
She pursed her lips, but Clayton stood up without waiting for her response.
"Open the door.”
The person next to him immediately opened the heavy semi-circular iron door.
The iron door was rusted, so it screeched loudly when it was opened.
Once the door was opened, the smell of blood rushed out,
Nicole only glanced inside once and immediately turned her head away with a pale face. She covered her mouth as she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
She suddenly clutched the armrest tightly and wanted to move back.
However, Clayton, who was st?b.;SIS;ing behind her, immediately came to the front to block her view.
"Baby, don't be afraid. It's not her blood. It's fake."
Nicole was stunned. Clayton handed her a handkerchief that smelled like mint.
She covered her nose and frowned at him.
Clayton asked, "Do you still want to see?
Nicole hesitated for half a second, then shook her head.
She did not have such a strong mental capacity.
Forget it.
She tugged at Clayton's clothes, pursed her lips, and said, “It's a human life, after all. Don't be impulsive. Although I hate her, I can understand where she's coming from. She's so deeply in love with Eric that she can't extricate herself. In the end, she's a pitiful woman. You can vent your anger, but don't kill her."
Clayton looked at Nicole quietly for a few seconds and smiled.
"My wife is really kind-hearted. Even if I give you a handful of salt now, you won’t be able to sprinkle it on her wound, will you?’ Nicole sighed quietly.
"If I die, I won't care what you do. But I'm not dead yet, so I can't let you take revenge on her because of a near-miss situation. Otherwise, how are we different from her?"
The room was quiet for a few seconds.
Clayton squeezed her hand, and he relaxed in an instant.
There seemed to be a light in his eyes. He stood up and beckoned to the captain.
"Then wait out here for a while. I'll ask her a few questions and hand her over to the police in Southeast Asia?"
Nicole nodded.
Clayton was truly obedient.
The captain immediately stepped forward and pushed Nicole further away.
They were underground, so there was no sunlight. The lights here were also very dim, so there were some dark spots.
The captain smiled. "Madam, are you feeling better? Mr. Sloan was so worried about you that he couldn't eat or sleep for several days. He has been blaming himself for leaving you alone. Fortunately, it’s all over now.”
Nicole's heart trembled.
