Read Chapter 1029 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat
Clayton looked at Nicole and smiled. “Do you think anyone would believe me?“
Compared to the beloved Isaac, everyone was more willing to believe that it was Clayton who did it.
Nicole choked. Isaac was really detestable.
“From that point on, I was kicked out of the company and my father began to be wary of me. He held back my activities everywhere and handed over the company and everything at home to his younger brother, Isaac. Just then, Michael’s father got into an accident, and he entrusted Michael and his wife to me.
At that time, I overheard that Isaac was afraid of having an additional person to share the inheritance, so he wanted to kill Michael’s mother and Michael. I immediately took them under my wing and got married as fast as I could.“
Clayton looked at Nicole when he said this.
After all, his last marriage brought about a lot of opinions regarding him and put him in the criticisms of many people.
He was already used to it.
However, he did not want Nicole to get used to it too.
When he saw that she did not look very concerned, he sighed in relief.
“After the Sloan family found out about this, they didn’t want the scandal to disgrace them, so they let me take them away on the condition that Michael keeps the Sloan last name. Then, the day Michael’s mother died, he met you…“
It was when Nicole saved Michael. Nicole saved Clayton too.
Everything was predestined.
Nicole’s heart trembled slightly. It seemed like she came into contact with them at a very delicate point in time, at the turning point of fate.
Otherwise, five years later, she would not have gotten the contract with Clayton and got to know him.
However, she had a question.
“Why does Michael have to keep the Sloan last name? Since you left that place, it doesn’t matter what last name he has, right?“
Clayton smiled and looked at her helplessly.
As expected of a pampered young lady, Nicole looked at things too simply.
“Michael keeping his last name will remind all of them that he’s not a child that they can simply get rid of. It’s to intimidate them. Only this way will no one dare to lay their hands on Michael.“
Nicole was struck by a sudden realization and nodded.
She did not think of it that way.
“Besides, Michael is my brother’s only child. My brother was a child born to my father and his wife, so there’s nothing shameful about his existence,
unlike me. He can’t surrender his rights and change his last name.“
A cold light flashed in Clayton’s eyes.
Clayton wanted Michael to keep that last name even if it was just to irritate Isaac.
The Sloan family did not only have one child. Michael had a legitimate right to inherit the Sloan family fortune.
Clayton did not fight for it because he was disdainful of it, not because he was afraid.
Nicole nodded and watched as he moved swiftly to take the tomatoes from the refrigerator and cut them. Then, he took out the eggs.
Her attention was instantly attracted. “When did I have all these in my fridge?“
She walked over and opened it. The fridge was full of ingredients, all surprisingly fresh.
‘When did I prepare these?’ Nicole wondered. Clayton laughed and knocked her on the head.
“The fridge was empty. What would you do if you’re too hungry and can’t order takeout?“
Nicole blinked. “I’ll just tell Logan to send food over…“
The Logan that Grant left to her could do anything!
Clayton ‘s smile faded slightly. “Logan is also a human being with a family and wife. If you keep making him run errands during off-work hours, he might not say anything, but he’ll blame you for being an inconsiderate boss in his heart.”
Nicole paused. She did not think of this before.
She never used to let Logan run errands when it was too late at night. What she did so far was probably not overboard, right?
