Eric was clear. He came prepared this time.
Eric personally went to Felix for him to reluctantly agree to do Floyd's operation.
Nicole's feet paused, and her expression changed. Her gaze became conflicted.
A trace of pain and forbearance flashed in her eyes.
Nicole was willing to leave with Eric because she could not ignore Floyd's life.
Before Eric could be happy, Clayton turned around with a smile and held her hand tightly. He spoke with a tone that was neither light nor heavy.
"You still have the nerve to threaten her when you're taking advantage of her difficult situation?"
The crowd could see the tension between the two men who were engaged in a silent battle.
The crowd was silent and still.
This scene captured on film looked like the fight of the century.
Eric laughed, a little wantonly, and said shamelessly.
"Taking advantage of someone's difficulties also depends on whether I have the capability to do so. After all, it's useless to play the emotional card. We still don't know who'll get the last laugh."
Eric had the biggest bargaining chip in his hand.
From the beginning, Eric never thought that he had a chance.
However, this opportunity fell into his lap. How could he not seize it?
Eric thought to himself, 'Even if I’m shameless or despicable, as long as I can start over with Nicole, I can give up anything, even my life.’
At those words, Clayton's lips curled in disdain, and h e looked at Eric in mockery.
Then, Clayton pulled Nicole’s hand and walked forward.
"Just wait and see, Mr. Ferguson. Don't think too highly of yourself..."
Nicole pursed her lips. It felt like she could not control herself at all. She knew full well that missing this opportunity could bring unpredictable consequences.
However, she could not reject Clayton here.
Nicole just could not hurt someone who was infinitely tolerant of her.
Clayton's hand seemed to have a power that constantly gave her an endless supply of support and rationality.
