Quavon sighed and shook his head with a look of disappointment toward Clayton.
“When I die, you’ll naturally have your share in the Sloan family. You don’t have to be so afraid that your second uncle Isaac will threaten you.“
“Mr. Sloan, don’t be blinded by hatred. In Mediania, you can’t treat human life as a child’s play!“
“Right. After all, he’s your father and has raised you, so you should be grateful.“
“Others can’t take away what’s yours, so why do you have to be so greedy?“
The surrounding people saw this and naturally related the whole thing to the family infighting and covered up the truth.
The bit that was exposed was not true.
Quavon’s words of accusation humiliated Clayton.
In a short period of time, the good image that Clayton accumulated was ruined.
Nicole really could not stand it anymore.
She stepped forward and laughed with a clear and cold voice.
“If I remember correctly, at the beginning of my cooperation with Clayton, I investigated the source of his assets, and none of it was related to the Sloan family. Chairman Sloan, why did you insist on saying that Clayton is out for the Sloan family’s property?“
Nicole’s sudden involvement stunned the surrounding people slightly.
Everyone looked at each other with blank faces.
Quavon observed the woman who suddenly spoke and narrowed his eyes. His eyes were sharp.
“You’re… Ms. Stanton from Stanton Corporation?“ Nicole hooked her lips. “Exactly.“
She nodded very frankly. After all, having a big name was not a bad thing.
Quavon smiled.
“I’ve heard Isaac mention that Ms. Stanton has both excellent ability and beauty. Today, I see that what he said is true.“
The corners of Nicole’s lips twitched. Being praised by someone like Isaac Sloan sounded fake.
“Thank you.“
“But Ms. Stanton, perhaps you don’t know much about the Sloan family. Clayton didn’t rely on himself to get to where he is today. Out of all the rich kids who started with nothing, which one has established an empire with their bare hands?“
Quavon pushed back Nicole’s question with a simple remark.
Nicole did not look at Clayton ‘s expression and smiled as she spoke.
“So, that’s all the more reason to remind Isaac Sloan not to covet the empire that others have built for themselves. Being able to keep his own empire is his ability.“
Quavon ‘s face changed slightly. His gaze darkened when he looked at her.
A hand quietly clutched Nicole’s hand and squeezed it.
Nicole looked at Clayton on the side.
Clayton ‘s face was gentle and light with a faint smile. There was also some pleasure in his expression.
It was really inexplicable.
Clayton paused, seemingly unconcerned with Quavon’s provocation.
His tone was slack, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.
“Right, Father. I’ve long been out of the scope of your succession plan, so don’t cook up imaginary enemies for yourself. Isaac’s opponent is Michael, who isn’t even ten years old yet. You should tell Isaac to beware of him instead.“
Michael was the rightful heir in the Sloan family tree because he was born to Quavon ‘s most beloved youngest son.
Although Michael was raised by Clayton, everyone in the Sloan family knew that the boy’s mother married Clayton when she was almost five months pregnant.
Thus, Michael was not Clayton ‘s biological son. In an instant, the situation quietly changed again.
Clayton actually did not have any inheritance right in the Sloan family?
Then why was Quavon making a fuss here today?
Quavon’s expression shook slightly. His face became quite unpleasant.
Just as Quavon was about to speak, Clayton lowered his head and laughed. Something suddenly dawned on Clayton.
“Oh, I see. It turns out that Isaac was worried that Michael, who’s less than ten years old, will take away his shares, so Isaac had someone kidnap the boy?”
