Eric’s voice was a little cold with a few hints of rumination.
“Are you still thinking about Clayton? It seems like you still don’t know. Clayton Sloan is about to go bankrupt.”
Nicole’s expression froze. “What did you say?”
Eric’s tone was extremely cold. His lips curled into a smile, and his expression was filled with disdain.
“Everyone in Liberty knows that Clayton Sloan is about to g o bankrupt.
I didn’t expect him to hide it from you.”
Nicole’s heart jerked. She suddenly remembered talking on the phone with Clayton yesterday. Even when they texted during the day, she could not tell that Clayton was facing difficulties and that something was wrong.
However, Eric did not look like he was lying.
Her face changed slightly.
There was a bad feeling in her heart.
“He’s suspected of manipulating the stock price and privately controlling business deals, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction from a large number of investors. Liberty has already started to file a case. He’ll be facing nearly 20 years in prison. Nicole, open your eyes and see clearly.
Don’t be fooled by this man. He’s been a fraud since the beginning!”
Eric suppressed his anger and spoke in a bitter tone. However, Nicole could not listen to anything right now.
Her expression was glum, but she still forced herself to calm down.
“Thank you for telling me this news. I’ll go back and ask for clarification.”
She took a deep breath.
A person came up next to her. His voice was familiar.
“Wasn’t this supposed to be a welcome back party for me? Why are you talking amongst yourselves?”
Miles’ arrival broke the stagnant and awkward atmosphere between Nicole and Eric.
Miles stood there with a faint smile and gave off a spring- like feeling. He looked more handsome and defined, but he also had a frivolous air to him.
Nicole smiled. “I heard you came back to Mediania. Welcome back!”
The music happened to change to a slow dance song. Miles extended his hand to Nicole and looked at Eric.
“Mr. Ferguson, since I’m the main character for tonight, I’ll be taking Nicole away.”
Eric’s face darkened as he stared at Miles silently.
Since Nicole was getting a way out, she naturally took the opportunity.
Nicole immediately went over and took Miles’ arm, leaving the place.
They walked to the center of the dance floor. “Aren’t you going to thank me?”
Miles’ voice lowered with a smile. Nicole rolled her eyes. “Thank you?”
”Thank me for helping you out. Who else would dare to steal you away in front of Eric Ferguson?” Miles smiled meaningfully.
Nicole blinked and looked at him before shaking her head with a smile.
“So many things have happened since you’ve been away for so long. Nathaniel probably didn’t have the time to tell you a lot of stuff.”
Miles looked at her in confusion and suddenly thought of something.
“Are you talking about you and Clayton Sloan?”
Nicole raised her brows in surprise. “He told you about that?”
Miles laughed.
“There’s no need for him to tell me. The business world is a small place, and word spreads around quickly. I couldn’t take part in the second season of the variety show since I had to go home and take over the company. Nathaniel is busy dating and doesn’t have time to tell me about this anyway…”
Nicole thought about it. That was true.
However, she did not expect it. Clayton and Nicole dating was still kept a secret, but it turned out that many people knew about it.
The music sounded.
Miles’ hand gently held her waist as he guided her inside like a gentleman.
“This party was proposed by Nathaniel. There aren’t many acquaintances, but it’s good that he’s happy.”
Nicole smiled.
She suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, have you heard anything about Clayton…?”
Miles interrupted her.
“The economic crisis in Libeny will have a limited impact on him. His capital is fixed in different areas, so he isn’t at much risk, but…”
