Before Kai could break out into a cursing fit, Floyd frowned and looked at Clayton.
“As soon as Lil N was involved, we got people to investigate and handle this problem. Your power in
Mediania isn’t so deep yet. How can you be sure that it’ll be gone first thing tomorrow?”
As a businessman, especially a shrewd old businessman, Floyd was always suspicious of any slight
possibility.
Could Eric do this according to his attitude toward Nicole?
Floyd seriously suspected that Clayton was lying.
Clayton’s eyes were serious, warm, and sincere, without the slightest hint of anger or dissimulation on
his face.
“I don’t have many connections at home, but I do have some strength overseas. One of the major
shareholders of this media platform settled abroad and has a close relationship with me. He was the
one who told me of this news. Ferguson Corporation got them to seal this information, but even so, it’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot confidential to their management.”
Floyd’s face sank fiercely. “Eric Ferguson, that son of a b*tch!”
Clayton faintly lowered his eyes. “I have communicated with their senior management. This matter isn’t
just about me, but also about the Stanton family’s reputation, so after 10:00 pm tonight, they will restrict
traffic and it’ll disappear by tomorrow.”
He should have reacted earlier. That way, Ferguson Corporation would not get the second opportunity
to take advantage of the situation.
The second time the trending topic resurfaced, it hurt more than just Clayton.
It was too great a cost.
Floyd’s face was red from anger. After Kai came out of his shock, he did not speak. His face was
sullen.
They had both overestimated Eric’s character.
On second thought, it also made sense. If Eric could hurt Nicole like that back then, how good could his
character be?
Among them, Nicole was the calmest.
This made Clayton feel somewhat uneasy.
He pursed his lips. “Nicole, I solemnly apologize to you regarding today’s matter.”
Nicole smiled. “It has nothing to do with you. You’re also a victim, so there’s no need to apologize.”
“The rumors online aren’t true. I know that woman, and everything she said is false. Only what I told
you before is true.”
Clayton paused perhaps because he felt like what he said was too conceited, so he added, “If you don’t
believe me, you can have someone investigate it. The truth will never be distorted.”
Lil Michael was not his biological son, and Clayton only told this to Nicole.
Thus, he only needed her to believe in his innocence.
Clayton had long wanted to explain that no matter how bad the rumors of him were on the internet, he
could ignore it, but the only thing he was worried about was whether Nicole would believe it.
Thus, after he contacted the shareholders abroad and made sure things would be resolved, Clayton
rushed over in the pouring rain.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe wanted to apologize to her personally and explain himself.
Clayton’s humble attitude caught Kai and Floyd off guard.
The Stanton father and son looked at each other, pursed their lips, and shut up.
It was obvious that Clayton’s last few words of explanation were the ultimate purpose of his visit.
Nicole curved her eyes and lips into a faint smile.
Although she felt a little uncomfortable, in front of others, Nicole had to maintain her
composure.
“Mr. Sloan, there’s no need to explain so much. We certainly believe that you’re innocent. You don’t
need to prove yourself.”
Clayton looked at her clear and beautiful eyes. He felt relieved but also felt his heart sinking
Did she believe him, or did she just not care about it?
However, he did not seem to be qualified to go after the root of the matter now. He immediately
resumed his indifferent and modest demeanor.
There was a careless chill in his voice.
“Right, but I won’t let the perpetrator off the hook so easily. It’s simply too ridiculous trying to convict
someone of a death sentence based on a few words…”
