False Compliments
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.
IT
“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.
