Fragile Little Heart
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 no 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 a s 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 be 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…”
Nicole laughed. “No one else can know about this.”
“I won’t say anything, but there’s no guarantee that Isaac Sloan won’t say it. Look, he said this secret so
casually and clearly didn’t care if news of this spread out.”
Nicole fell silent.
To Isaac, the matter of Clayton raising someone else’s child was not enough to ruin Clayton’s reputation.
The fact that Clayton married his brother’s woman was more shameful.
Nicole took a deep breath and stood up with her phone. “I’m going out.”
Kai clicked his tongue. “You’re going to
tell Clayton?”
“Yeah, this thing is wrong no matter how I choose, so I’ll just let him choose for himself.”
It was Clayton’s choice whether or not to return to the Sloan family. After all, he was an adult with mature
reasoning.
Nicole would not be instigated by Isaac. She drove back to the apartment.
