Clayton’s hand was extremely tight. His eyes blurred a s he quietly spoke.
"It's okay, Nicole. I'm okay..."
Clayton grew up in infamy as an illegitimate son.
Even in the Sloan family, Clayton was just a higher-ranking illegitimate son.
No one pitied him because they thought that this was the punishment he deserved as an illegitimate child.
Clayton came into this world and hated the world -his vain mother, his irresponsible father, and his powerless self.
He envied his cheerful peers, who were bubbly, bright, positive, and ambitious. They were everything he was jealous of.
However, in the Sloan family, Clayton had to be silent.
Clayton did not have to use too much effort in pretending because being silent and gentle felt the same.
It was just that he had a cold-blooded indifference to everything.
Isaac's bullying and scheming were blatant, and Isaac's hostility toward Clayton was very aggressive.
When Clayton first showed his excellence in Sloan
Corporation, he received a tragic blow.
Isaac also thought that he had trampled Clayton into the mud and stepped all over him.
Thus, Clayton decisively left the Sloan family.
Clayton thought of every way to gain a foothold in Wall Street.
That was because he was a Sloan, and the Sloan family would gain a dignified person in name.
So, after Clayton made a name for himself, the Sloan family would not make a move on him easily.
Clayton had experienced the heaviest darkness, but h e ignored them. He only wanted to see the light and warmth.
Fortunately, he saw Nicole.
Nicole sobbed for a while and later found that Clayton’s shirt was soaked through.
She stroked the wet spot with embarrassment.
"I won't let you get bullied like this again. Go inside."
