Clayton stood still and looked back at Eric.
"Is she really dead? I don't think so..."
Eric's face changed instantly.
"What are you trying to say? Why, did you rescue her again?"
Eric's eyes turned intimidating and cold.
Clayton smiled. "Mr. Ferguson, how many times do I have to say that I have nothing to do with her? Her existence is a threat to Nicole, so I want her to disappear more than you do."
Clayton shrugged helplessly. His gentle voice was tinged with a bit of ruthlessness.
Eric stared at him for more than ten seconds.
He turned his head to look at the maid who came over with some cleaning supplies and instructed coldly," Clean this up later. Don’t come here without my order.”
The maid trembled, nodded quickly, put down the tools, and left.
Once the maid was far away, Eric slowly sat back on the sofa.
Eric only had enough patience at the mention of Nicole.
Of course, there were still opportunities.
"How is she a threat to Nicole?”
Clayton lowered his head and explained calmly, “She killed Tina and Zach Gilbert. If I guess correctly, she wants Nicole to be caught in the middle of public opinion so that we wouldn’t notice her existence. After all, according to my insider reports, she has always been in Southeast Asia."
Eric's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
His eyes flashed with surprise and gloom.
In the end, Eric raised his eyelids and asked Clayton, " That means she slipped out from under your nose?"
Clayton raised his eyebrows. His expression became solemn for a moment before he said, "Mr. Ferguson, she and her subordinates have done plastic surgery on themselves, so they look very different from their usual selves. This is the main reason why my subordinates neglected her. She found a substitute to confess her guilt, and the execution was flawless. But I don't plan on raising the case again. After all, her appearance is related to the two of us, so I fully agree with your method of dealing with her in private."
Clayton finished speaking with a wicked smile on his face.
What he did not want to dirty his h
Otherwise, Clayton would have to waste his efforts on taking Angie abroad to get rid of her.
Eric's eyes were deep and dark.
"She killed Tina and Zach to frame Nicole?!"
As he spoke, his eyes gradually became sharper.
Eric should have thought of it earlier.
When he suspected Angie, he should have linked it up with recent events.
Angie could not touch Nicole, so she had no choice but to target the people around Nicole, and Tina was the easiest target.
Eric recalled that day in the hospital. Yasmin showed up and disappeared from time to time. At that time, they did not care about where the nanny went.
Come to think of it now, there were flaws everywhere.
Eric could not explain the complicated emotions in his heart.
He hated himself for not thinking about this sooner, and he felt that he was too nice to Angie for merely throwing her into the river.
Suddenly, Eric thought of something.
He raised his eyes abruptly with a bit of shock.
"What do you mean by what you just said? Isn’t she dead?"
Clayton saw Eric’s agitated and tense look and smiled faintly.
