The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 1676

Roland finished in one breath. He saw that Clayton fell silent and felt apprehensive. Did he say too much?

However, after a night of tossing and turning, Roland felt that Clayton's decision was a bit detrimental to himself.

This was not like Clayton’s style.

Clayton was a profit-oriented investor.

The elevator arrived.

The two of them went out of the elevator, walked outside, and got into the car.

The car steadily drove but inevitably encountered the rush-hour traffic.

Clayton spoke lightly and explained.

"Do you think that by keeping those people, we can avoid the company's decline? From the beginning of Isaac's private deal, the entire company was pushed to the forefront. There are many who want to push us down when we're unstable. What I’m doing now is pushing myself down so that others won’t have the chance to."

Roland paused. "But the price we pay is too much."

Clayton let out a light laugh. "The price?"

His voice was a bit cool and dull. "It's not on me. It's on the Sloan family. When this company was in Isaac's hands, I didn’t get a single cent from them. If they want me to compromise for their benefit, that’s just a pipe dream."

Roland’s chest sank. He suddenly understood Clayton's position.

Roland almost forgot that although Clayton was a Sloan, the Sloan family forced him out and put him in this position.

After all, the Sloan family did not give Clayton any benefits. Clayton could survive because he was tough.

Thinking of this, Roland had the sense to shut his mouth.

Now, the controlling shareholder of Sloan Corporation was Nicole. The reason Clayton personally came back t o clean up the mess was most likely because he did not want Nicole's money to go down the drain.

Clayton was not doing this for the interests of the Sloan family, but for Nicole's interests.

Thus, it made no difference to Clayton if those people left or not.

On the contrary, if they started anew, they could be even cleaner and bigger a few years later.

Roland believed that Clayton was capable of achieving this.
