After Caleb finished laughing, he went to arrange their defenses.
"Snakehead is really tired of living! How dare he try to cut me off in the middle of the road? If they dare to come close later, just kill them all!"
“Don't worry, Boss. If they dare to come close, not a single one of them will be left alive!"
They were extremely arrogant.
Nicole wanted to go out and take a look, but she was dragged back.
The more she thought about it, she felt that something was wrong.
Clayton came for her. Perhaps she was not mistaken.
Clayton was here!
That meant that it was not Snakehead.
If Caleb knew about it, he would probably retaliate strongly.
After all, he was still wary of Snakehead. A local mobster was more powerful than an outsider, so Caleb would not care.
Nicole suppressed the surge of emotions in her heart. Her face looked a little pale.
Caleb thought that Nicole was scared out of her wits, s o he got someone to take her back to rest.
Nicole was eager to go out and take a look, feeling that freedom was right in front of her right outside that door.
Clayton was there.
He had come for her.
After days of feeling hopeless, Nicole somehow felt excited, with joy surging in her blood.
Were those drones his?
They must be.
Nicole stood frozen in the room.
Caleb's woman saw that she was scared silly and shook her head.
"Why are you so scared? You didn’t get hurt, right?"
Nicole did not answer.
The woman sighed. "Forget it, just rest well then. I’ll look for you when it's time to leave."
After saying that, the woman turned around and left. She thoughtfully closed the door for Nicole.
Nicole slowly walked over and sat down. She stroked her chest to calm her racing heart that felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
The hope that she lost from Eric was gained back through Clayton.
Nicole pursed her lips. "I was just simply asking..."
The woman pulled Nicole out. "Don’t worry, someone’s keeping watch. No one is outside, and no one will come to fight at 2:30 am. Do you think they're robots?"
Nicole was speechless and could not say another word.
No matter how much Nicole tried to stall, the woman ignored her and stuffed her into Caleb's car.
"Honey, let's go..."
With that, the woman went to another car in the back.
It was their rule for one person to sit in a car so that they could sit with their bodyguards for higher security.
Thus, Caleb's woman never asked to share a car with Caleb.
The purpose of having Nicole in Caleb's car was to prevent her from running away and also to prevent Eric from suddenly attacking. If Eric did attack, Caleb would have a hostage in hand that he could use to blackmail Eric.
No one was more suitable than Nicole as a hostage.
Caleb’s trip in the darkness of the night looked a lot more low-key.
The convoy shrunk by half, presumably for fear of making too much noise and attracting the attention of others.
Nicole subconsciously looked out the window. It was pitch black without even a street lamp.
