Clayton was indifferent. He had already heard about Eric's matter.

After all, Clayton considered Eric a tough opponent, so he would certainly pay attention to Eric's situation.

It's just that Clayton was not willing to intervene or help Eric.

Clayton even promptly withdrew from any projects that were related to Eric.

After all, Eric provoked Angie, so he should be solely responsible for the consequences.

How could Clayton possibly lend a helping hand to the person who almost got Nicole killed?

Clayton would clap and applaud when Eric was in distress.

However, Clayton certainly could not say these to Nicole.

This would make him look too petty, and Nicole would only look down on him.

Seeing as Nicole looked hesitant and worried, Clayton smiled and said, "I'm not exactly in the clear over here. There is someone who wanted to use SF Corporation for money laundering, but Jake discovered i in time. What sold them out is that they bribed those idle shareholders, so Jake and I intend to use this opportunity to weed out all these people..."

It turned out that SF Corporation was already affected. However, they already had a response plan.

Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, just be careful. After all, it has nothing to do with us. Eric brought this onto himself, and I don't plan to be a saint to help him out."

Clayton laughed at her words. For a while, the delight in his eyes could not be hidden.

"I'm glad that my wife isn't a saint. I'm really happy for you."

"I'm a businessman, so what's most important is profit. I'll never do business at a loss if the benefits don't attract me."

Nicole tilted her neck. She looked a little tired.

"You should get going then. I have to discuss this with Grant. After all, he values this project. I won't interfere in it, but I also won't contribute to it."

If it was any other friend, there was a higher chance that Nicole would help out.

However, when Nicole heard the name " Eric Ferguson", she just felt uncomfortable.

Back when Nicole's life was in danger when she was in Southeast Asia, Eric did not give up his own business to save her.

Nicole was selfish, so why should she show kindness to him at this time?

Clayton nodded. He really had urgent matters to attend to, so had to hang up the video call.

After that, Nicole went to Grant ;f,;RMT> relayed Mitchell's words to him.

Grant was silent for a moment before he spoke with uncertainty.

"I'll think about it."

Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Big Brother, I'll support you no matter what you decide to do."

A few days passed.

There was no news from Lumi and Samuel.

One evening, Nicole received a call from lan before she left the office.

lan had been away for a few days and had just returned.

"Come over for my welcome party! I called a few more friends over for drinks!"

Nicole thought about it and did not refuse.

lan sent her the address. It was a newly-opened upscale and mysterious private restaurant called "Tycoon" that was not too far from her office. Although, the restaurant's name was not that classy.

Julie had spoken of this restaurant before, but Nicole never paid attention to it.

When Nicole arrived at "Tycoon", she noticed that the name did not really match the restaurant's elegant style. However, it was a sight to behold. There was an antique bridge and a manmade river in the restaurant, and there were valuable ornaments everywhere.

Even the ceiling had delicate embellishments.

This was the first time Nicole came here, so she could not help but take a second look at the place.

lan was leaning on the railing on the second floor, holding a bottle of beer in his hand as he greeted Nicole.

"There you are! You're the last one. You really haven't changed your habit of being late at all!"

Hearing lan's familiar voice, Nicole looked up and saw that Lumi was standing up there and smiling at her.
