Isaac Sloan laughed. "The Sloan family can certainly afford to support Clayton. If he goes bankrupt, he can start all over again, but if his father is gone, Clayton will never have a chance to see him again.”
Nicole sat there in silence, not saying a word.
Isaac made his ploys known to all.
However, they did not know which among them was true or false.
Isaac was really open about such a backstabbing trick.
"I know this may be a bit inappropriate, but we have n o other way to make Clayton return to the Sloan family. After all, he's one of us. Rather than toiling away outside, why not serve his own family?"
Isaac made it sound like this was all for Clayton’s sake to let Clayton return to the Sloan family.
Nicole hesitated for a moment and smiled. "This is a matter of great importance, so I can’t make this decision alone. Mr. Sloan, give me some time to think about it."
Isaac breathed a sigh of relief. He looked confident as he tidied his collar and smiled with certainty.
"This is all for Clayton's sake. Ms. Stanton, you don’t need to feel guilty. Clayton will return to Sloan
Corporation as a boss, not a slave, so please think
about it."
Isaac stood up and continued, "Then I’ll get going. Ms. Stanton, once you’ve made a decision, I'll immediately send someone to talk about the cooperation."
Nicole also followed and stood up. "I won't see you off then, Mr. Sloan.”
Isaac nodded and followed the butler out the door.
Nicole sat back down. The smile on her face faded as a chill crossed her eyes.
"You get it now?"
Kai silently nodded. "I really underestimated Clayton before. I didn’t expect him to be so attached to a child that isn’t his..."
Nicole rolled her eyes. She did not expect Kai to still b e stuck in the same state as earlier.
"Don’t tell anyone about Lil Michael’s identity. He's still too young."
Kai nodded. "I know. We gotta protect the child’s fragile little heart..."
