Nicole knew from the start that Isaac had malicious intentions. Isaac was the legitimate heir to the Sloan family. Although his identity was somewhat a secret, he was much more out in the open than Clayton.
He grew up with a golden spoon and got anything that he wanted. However, when Isaac went to Mediania, the woman he took a fancy to looked down on him and favored Clayton instead. Clayton Sloan, an illegitimate child who could never see the light of day, actually dared to confine and toy with him.
Isaac hated Clayton so much that he wanted to kill him with all his heart. Back at Liberty, Isaac joined hands with a few friends to set a trap for Clayton, thinking that they would be able to swallow Clayton’s fortune by immobilizing his assets. However, in the blink of an eye, Clayton turned the situation around and made a trap for them instead.
Clayton got out unscathed, but all Isaac’s and his friends’ money evaporated overnight. Although this was nothing much to the Sloan family, many shareholders of Sloan Corporation started to grow dissatisfied and distrustful of Isaac because of this matter. Isaac could not even figure out that business trap. A few of Isaac’s friends suffered heavy losses, and two had instantly declared bankruptcy.
They went to Isaac for him to clean up the mess, so Isaac could only bear the pain and take out his own money to save them. At that time, Isaac’s head hurt every second because of the money. It was incomparably tormenting and wretched. When Isaac heard that Nicole came, he could no longer suppress his dark thoughts. He drank with his friends and came over while he was drunk.
Nicole stood there, looking at Isaac with a clear and cold gaze. Her eyes carried a disdain that could not be concealed, and that gaze completely pierced Isaac’s self-esteem. Isaac stood up straight and intended to push the door in. Under the influence of alcohol, Isaac did not care about anything anymore. “Or maybe you want me to give you a solo welcoming party, Ms. Stanton? How about in your room?” Isaac did not mind anyway. He had long wanted to taste what this woman was like.
However, before he could go in, Nicole blocked the door that he kicked open. Nicole was dressed casually and looked slightly lazy. However, the air around her did not feel casual at all. Her eyes carried a few hints of coldness. “I’m busy. Get lost!” Nicole knew that Isaac was here to cause trouble and was not in the mood to be polite with him. There was no need for that.
Isaac’s eyes snapped wide open, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. “You’re telling me to get lost? Nicole Stanton, get this straight. Clayton isn’t here, and this is my territory!” Nicole was still holding the phone, so Clayton could hear Isaac’s words clearly. Through the phone, Clayton felt his blood surge.
He wanted to kill someone! Clayton suppressed his inner panic and went to get a spare phone to call someone while soothing Nicole at the same time. It did not matter whether she could hear him or not. “Nicole, don’t be scared. Don’t provoke him either. He’s the type of person who would do anything…”
Everyone heard those words clearly. Nicole was expressionless, but Isaac laughed. Isaac laughed recklessly. “It seems like that bastard understands me the most! You’re in my territory, but you’re still trying to act high and mighty in front of me? Wake up, Nicole Stanton…” Nicole looked at Isaac with a cold gaze. “Isaac, I can pretend that nothing happened if you get out of my sight now.
But if you don’t, you won’t be able to run away even if you want to later.” Isaac was intoxicated and suddenly laughed. “I came all the way here to welcome you. How can I leave without doing anything? Since Clayton likes to listen on the phone so much, don’t hang up and just let him listen. Let him hear how much fun we’ll have!”
