Clayton lifted his eyes and read the content on it. His body shook violently.
His eyelashes trembled.
"Whoa, where exactly is this Ms. Stanton from? She transferred all her shares in Sloan Corporation to Clayton?"
"Yeah, isn't Clayton also a Sloan? After such a roundabout, we're just back to the starting point?"
"Clayton is an illegitimate son. He might’ve joined hands with Ms. Stanton to seize power!"
"But Sloan Corporation is already an empty shell.
There's nothing to gain from it..."
"Ms. Stanton sure is generous!”
"What’s going on? I’m so confused with all this..."
Clayton looked at Nicole in shock and suddenly stood up. His face was taut.
"Nicole..."
His heart was beating fast. He felt like his heart that was falling into an abyss earlier finally landed on the ground, but it felt so surreal.
It was as if someone hammered his chest heavily.
After the sharp pain, he felt an ultimate tenderness.
His throat was dry. "When did you..."
Nicole's warm, soft, and slender hand held Clayton’s hand. She chuckled and smiled brightly.
"I've long prepared for this. I was just afraid that you wouldn't agree to it, so I intended to act first and tell you later."
Quavon, who was on the stage, was so shocked that he could not utter a word for a long time.
He could not believe that Nicole just handed over all her shares to Clayton.
How could there be such a person?
Nicole sensed Clayton's nervousness and touched his face.
"It should've been yours in the first place. Don't back down because of your identity. There's nothing unseemly about you. To me, you're the purest person i n the entire Sloan family!”
Unknowingly, Clayton's eyes turned a little red.
Clayton reached out and embraced her tightly like he wanted her to merge into his body.
It felt so good to get a response for what he gave up.
After entering the hall, Clayton had only been watching and waiting.
Now, he finally spoke up.
Clayton looked at Quavon with sharp eyes.
"The 20% of shares that you hold on behalf of Mrs.
Sloan has been transferred to me."
Even Nicole was amazed when she heard this. 'Was it THE mysterious Madam Sloan that no one has seen before? Her shares were actually in Clayton's hands?'
Clayton had really done something big without making a sound.
Quavon’s face instantly turned miserably white.
"What did you say?"
The corners of Quavon’s eyes began to twitch as his body trembled with anger.
"That b*tch! How could she give it to you?!"
Clayton's face was sullen and cold as he said, "It's for Liam. Since Liam can't take it, I took it on behalf of Michael. So, Chairman Sloan, you don’t have enough shares to be part of the board of directors.”
