Nicole let out a light laugh as she glanced over to Eric.
"It already happened, so what’s the use of talking about it? Do you think that you can get what you want by using some unwarranted charge to warn an innocent person?"
"Unwarranted? Do you think that Clayton Sloan is really innocent? It's not a secret abroad that he has an illicit relationship with his brother's woman."
Eric was exasperated by Nicole's attitude as if nothing mattered because she believed in Clayton.
He could not restrain himself and only wanted her to see through Clayton's mask.
However, Nicole was completely calm and indifferent.
Nicole already knew of this long ago, and she even knew more than Eric did.
'His brother's woman? Isn't that Lil Michael's biological mother?'
Nicole did not expect that this fact would sound so harsh to others.
However, she felt that Clayton deserved more respect because he could forgo his reputation just to give Lil Michael a legitimate identity.
Nicole smiled and looked up lightly to glance at Eric.
"Mr. Ferguson, it's best not to jump to conclusions if you don't know someone.”
After that, she added another blow.
"Before this, didn’t you also have an illicit relationship with your brother's woman?"
Wendy Quade was Hendrick’s girlfriend, and Eric had done so much for her back then.
What right did Eric have to accuse others now?
Why did he not reflect on himself?
Eric's face instantly stiffened as if he had been slapped. He felt embarrassed and dejected.
His mood sank in an instant.
His eyes were dark and deep as he looked at her. He leaned down and encompassed her in his personal space.
"You don't trust me, and you trust Clayton more, don’t you?"
Eric's voice was deep and frigid.
Nicole met his gaze calmly and spoke, word for word.
