The air instantly plunged to freezing point.
Floyd Stanton, who was fumbling around his pockets for his wallet, froze instantly.
He glanced at Clayton Sloan’s face, which was glum and sunken. Clayton's eyes were dark as he tried to suppress a penetrating chill.
Clayton's eyelids twitched. His usually stoic face started to crumble.
"Daddy, I want to inherit your estate right away...”
Lil Michael twisted his body petulantly and whined. H e was so cute that Clayton could not bear to smack this child.
Clayton thought to himself, 'This is my child... Bear with it...'
He looked at Lil Michael, took a deep breath, and said i n a tone that was as soft as possible.
"Right away...?" Clayton said in a hushed voice.
Lil Michael nodded solemnly, "I can only be with my pretty lady after I inherit your estate!"
Thus, Lil Michael thought, the sooner the better!
For the sake of his pretty lady, he did not even want his father.
Clayton's gloomy eyes were fixed on his son's tender little face. He tried hard to maintain his calm and poise.
"Then I'll strive to grant your wish quickly..." Clayton gritted his teeth and said sarcastically.
Lil Michael beamed and asked joyfully, "When?"
One second...
Two seconds...
Clayton closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but he could not stand it anymore.
His eyes narrowed dangerously.
Clayton picked his son by the back of his collar with ease. That way, he could just throw him out like a ball.
Floyd, who was next to him, spoke hastily, "Children's words have no limits..."
Clayton smiled faintly and recollected his expression.
He nodded apologetically and said, "Chairman Stanton, apologies. I suddenly remembered that I have some urgent matters to attend to at the company. I'll g o to your door first thing tomorrow to make amends.”
With that, Clayton simply carried Lil Michael and left with his head held high. It looked effortless.
