After Nicole hung up the phone, she still could not digest the news.
Nicole had seen Tina a few hours ago. Tina even bragged that she was about to be freed from a failed marriage.
How did she die so suddenly?
Nicole immediately felt a chill all over her body.
The soles of her feet felt cold.
Clayton carried Nicole to the sofa and patted her on the shoulder gently.
"I'm sorry. I should've gone up with you last night.”
Something must have happened last night, but Nicole was too tired at the time to notice.
Clayton touched her face.
"It's okay. I know you didn’t do it.
Everything will be fine as long as you explain what happened clearly. I'll take care of the rest for you."
Nicole’s expression suddenly changed.
She tugged on his clothes.
“This isn't right. Is it related to our house’s intruder from before? Tina knows me. Is that person targeting me?”
It was hard for Nicole not to doubt herself. Why was she involved in this?
Clayton kissed the back of her hand.
He patiently calmed her down.
"Baby, don’t think too much. It's just a coincidence. It has nothing to do with you.
Tina wanted to get a divorce. It’s possible that her husband did it because of the property. Don’t scare yourself.”
Clayton’s voice was extremely low and gentle.
Nicole slowly relaxed.
She took a deep breath. "I’m not scared. I just feel sad because I saw her last night!"
"I know, I understand."
Just as they were talking, Nicole's phone rang.
It was Logan's call.
Nicole paused, then picked up. Logan was very calm when he spoke.
"President, I've asked the lawyers of Stanton Corporation to go to the police station. Don't worry, you don't need to show up personally."
Nicole responded and hung up the phone.
Clayton chuckled. "Logan is quite attentive, huh? He can handle both the company and your private affairs!"
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and praised Logan.
"Of course! It took a lot of effort for Big Brother to give Logan to me. He's very competent!"
Nicole changed the topic and diverted Clayton's attention.
Clayton smiled. "Okay. Why don't you take a rest? Since the lawyer went over, you don’t need to be so nervous. You didn't do it anyway."
Nicole was silent for a few seconds before she said blankly, "I need to explain the situation clearly. After all, catching the murderer is also beneficial to us."
She had an intuition that the murderer was connected to the person who broke into their house last time.
However, they had no leads.
She frowned ?c'=VIS= took a deep breath.
"I'm going to get dressed and head to the police station. Are you going fishing with my dad?"
"Are you kidding? How can I be in the mood to go fishing now? I’ll go with you."
Clayton stood up and went to the dressing room to change his clothes.
Nicole smiled and said nothing.
She felt better with Clayton next to her at such a time.
At the police station, they were not surprised to see Zach sitting there with a pale face.
Nicole did not know if Zach was truly sad or if he was just pretending, but he did not look to be in a good mental state.
With his back to Nicole, Zach cried to the policeman in front of him. His face was stained with snot and tears.
"My wife had a wrongful death. How could she jump off the building by herself?
Someone must’ve forced her to do so! Who was the last person who saw her? Oh, Nicole Stanton?! You can’t cover up this matter just because of her background. My wife can’t die in vain!"
Nicole was slightly shocked. She frowned and looked over.
The police officer saw them, stood up, and walked over with a smile.
"Mr. Sloan, Ms. Stanton, you're here..."
