The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 1593 Not an Ordinary Person

In Southeast Asia, where there was turmoil all year round and life was cheaper than goods, people treated life more recklessly without any semblance of reverence.

Clayton touched Nicole's head compassionately. Why did she have to see those things?

"Don't be sad, and don't be afraid. Nothing like this will happen again."

Nicole lay beside him and dropped her gaze. "I'll probably never forget it."

Clayton paused and dropped a kiss on her head before changing the subject.

"Did you meet any good people?"

"Good people?"

Nicole paused as she thought of Caleb's woman.

Compared to the others, this woman treated her the best.

"Yes, I think she's a good person. When I went there, although she didn't help me explicitly, she gave me many hints and even brought me out of that pigsty. But she's deeply devoted to Caleb." After careful observation, Nicole determined that the woman could not be the spy that was planted beside

Caleb.

Although the woman looked at Caleb with restraint and sobriety, it was also very reverential and full of admiration. They said that she was just one of Caleb's partners for money and fame, but her feelings could not fool anyone. When Caleb was in danger, the woman was always waiting on the sidelines to accompany him.

If she was afraid of death, she would have run away long ago.

Clayton frowned as he listened. "When I sent someone to investigate, I heard about the people around Caleb. He's not a philanderer, so there won't be more than one person around him at any given time. He'l just change the person when he gets bored."

Nicole nodded. "That's right. That's what I saw too."

Caleb was a restrained and clear-headed person. He was not like those ordinary womanizers.

Otherwise, Nicole would not have passed those days peacefully.

That was because in Caleb's heart, there was something more important than women.

Clayton smiled. "That woman was probably sold to Mediania and ran back again, right?" Nicole's eyes widened. "You know that too?"

When that woman mentioned this back then, her expression had not been pleasant.

Thus, Nicole did not dare to probe further.

Nicole was afraid of getting into trouble.

Clayton nodded. "I heard that her family was assassinated by a group of gangsters, and they sold her. A few years after she was sold, she secretly ran back as a stowaway and ended up meeting Caleb." Nicole raised her brows. "And then they got together?"

Clayton said, "Of course not. In order to expand his territory, Caleb destroyed the gang that killed her family, and then they got together."

Nicole shook her head. What a shame. That woman was too pitiful. How could she not understand that Caleb was not a good person either?

Clayton adjusted the angle of the bed and slowly laid down to be at eye level with Nicole.

"Stop thinking about it. That stuff isn't important. It has nothing to do with you."

Nicole paused. "I just feel sorry for those girls... Eric should have handled them."

Clayton raised his brows. "Mr. Ferguson is there to clean up the mess?"

Nicole closed her eyes lazily.

"Yeah, I heard from Grant that Caleb is dead. His

business is naturally ruined as well."

Clayton's gaze deepened. "Mr. Ferguson hid his intentions quite deeply. To be able to fight Caleb to death isn't something an ordinary person can do."

Nicole blinked and looked at him.

"Mr. Sloan..."

"Hm?"

"You're also very powerful. You managed to replace me so quickly and even saved me. You're the extraordinary one!"

Clayton froze for a moment when he heard her sudden compliment. Then, a warm smile flowed from his eyes.

How could he like her so much?
