Chapter 420 It‘s a Trap
Nicole picked up her glass and took a big sip of wine. She did not want to talk to Toto.
She just wanted to pretend that she did not know him!
The one-sided conversation between Toto and Nicole quickly drew the attention of the others. Paul Newton was undeterred and came over with his glass of wine. He looked at Toto
strangely. This man is…” Nicole had no intention of introducing Toto.
On the contrary, Toto stood up and scrutinized Paul. Paul‘s eye had a complex desire that seemed to carry a bit of hatred and malicious intent. Toto laughed. His eyes narrowed into slits as he went over to shake Paul‘s hands.
“Oh my! It‘s been such a long time!”
Paul pondered for a moment. Seeing how familiar this man acted, they must have met before, but Paul could not remember who it was.
He smiled stiffly. “Yes, yes. I saw that you and Ms. Stanton are having a nice chat. Am I interrupting?”
“Of course not!”
Toto waved his hand. He was calm, frank, and not at all restrained.
At first glance, Toto looked like someone well–acquainted with the people here.
There was not a single flaw in his act.
Paul smiled meaningfully at the two
people.
“Ms. Stanton, you‘re truly so beautiful that there are men around you everywhere you go…”
“How could someone like us be worthy of Ms. Stanton? Toto interrupted him and looked at Paul Newton seriously.
Although Toto did not know who Paul was, Paul looked like a rich man and
clearly had bad intentions for Nicole.
“You see, I‘m so fat and dumb, and you‘re so old. Let‘s not make a fool of ourselves. People like Ms. Stanton only deserve people like Mr. Ferguson…”
Paul initially had a cunning smile, but it quickly faded upon hearing Toto‘s words.
‘He‘s calling me old?!”
Paul asked, “Which company are you from?”
He smiled sincerely and was very curious.
However, his eyes looked dangerous.
It was as if Paul could easily bankrupt that company as soon as Toto told him. He had the ability to do so.
Toto said, “I‘m not telling!”
The atmosphere was instantly stagnant.
Nicole was considering whether to say a couple of words for Toto, but she inadvertently met Clayton‘s gaze from not far away.
Clayton hung up the phone and walked over briskly. His face was a little glum. H e grabbed Nicole‘s wrist and whispered i n her ear.
“He‘s awake and can speak. The doctor told us to hurry over….” That driver woke up?
Nicole was shocked and followed him without a word.
No one noticed that Paul Newton‘s face instantly changed after Clayton said
this.
Toto looked at Paul hesitantly and trotted after Nicole.
However, he was still too late.
Nicole and Clayton already left.
Luca hurriedly followed in another car and soon disappeared into the night.
Toto waved his hand. No one waited for him because he was too slow.
Nicole sat there nervously. “Is he really
awake?
Clayton let out a low chuckle. The expensive watch on his wrist reflected the cold streetlights amidst the darkness.
“No, that person can‘t be saved at all.”
Nicole froze. “So, it‘s a trap?”
She suddenly thought of what Clayton said earlier and had an epiphany. “The mastermind behind this is one of those
three?”
Clayton gave her an appreciative look 4 Right.”
Nicole‘s heart instantly sank.
She had been guessing that it was her enemies, but she had not offended any o
f those three before…
“Could it be because Clayton chose Stanton Corporation for the project?!
Nicole raised her eyes and met Clayton‘s gaze
His voice was cold and deep. “You guessed it right. It‘s indeed because of the project.”
Nicole had a complicated expression before she calmed herself down.
“How did you find out about them?”
Clayton‘s eyes were cold. His voice was icy. “I‘ve placed eyes around them and just got the news. They‘ve sought the same private detective, who earns commission by laundering money for the rich and transferring assets abroad. That extra money in the driver‘s bank account came from this private detective‘s offshore account.”
Nicole was shocked. So, is it really them?”
She had an intuition that it was Paul
Newton. Although Theodore was rude, he was a straightforward person. Hayden Zink had always been sly and careful. Only Paul Newton revealed a malicious intent in his words.
It made her extremely uncomfortable.
“We‘ll know soon,” Clayton said.
