Clayton smiled. His tone was warm and modest, but his eyes were not careless at all.
Although Clayton did not deal with any company affairs during his recuperation, it did not mean that he was ignorant of everything that was happening in the outside world.
Eric’s every move, even the smallest change, was within Clayton’s grasp.
Clayton clearly had a profound understanding of the situation.
Eric’s gloomy eyes swept him a glance. “That won’t happen. Thanks for your concern.”
Clayton laughed lightly. He smiled and did not continue to speak.
Since the stalemate was broken, Clayton only needed to be a spectator in their later conversation.
Nicole impatiently said, “Hurry up and say what you need to. We’re in a hurry.”
Eric’s face was tense. He pursed his lips and looked a t Nicole with eyes that were overflowing with sadness.

“You must hate me to death, right?”

Nicole did not make a sound. She did not agree, nor did she deny it.

Eric paused and looked at Nicole’ s expressionless face. The pain of his clenching heart did not ease in the slightest.

at all, Caleb just got the hostage killed as revenge and punishment. Caleb did not even give Eric the opportunity to regret his decision. Eric had his reasons, but

Eric’s heart is sore and chagrined. If he could do it all over again, he would not have disregarded Caleb’s request.
His choice would definitely be Nicole. However, there were no what-ifs.
Otherwise, the situation would not be the same right now.
Each of them had their own thoughts, and no one spoke.
What could they say?
