The murderer harmed Nicole for his daughter, and Nicole only survived because she was lucky.
What if Nicole did not manage to escape?
What if Clayton did not show up in time?
Grant just did not want to waste a single penny on this murderer‘s family. Nicole was silent for a few
seconds, knowing that they were all so reluctant for her sake.
Otherwise, with Grant’s character, he would have solved it with money.
Money was the murderer’s wife’s weakness. If they charged the murderer’s wife with extortion and
blackmail, she would be in jail as well.
However, Grant did not do so because he was resentful. Nicole pursed her lips. Her beautiful eyes
dimmed.
“G, this money will set a positive image for us and lay the foundation for the project in Sand City. It’s
worth it.”
She was still a businesswoman that could weigh the pros and cons in the shortest time.
This little bit of money was nothing to them.
Grant knew that Nicole had already made up her mind, so he did not stop her.
“Okay, since you’ve decided, we’ll do it your way, but there i s one thing. You can’t step out of the
hospital. Let others d o whatever you want for you.”
Nicole smiled.
“Of course, I don’t want to become a little cripple in the future.”
Grant laughed. The two of them talked about some family matters and hung up the phone.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Nicole thought that it was the doctor making his rounds, so she said without raising her head, “Come
in.”
A chubby person stood in front of her with a huge grin on his face.
“Ms. Stanton, it’s been such a long time! I really miss you!”
Nicole stiffened slightly. “Mitchell’s cousin?” Toto!
Why did he suddenly come over?
Toto looked like he gained weight. His smiling eyes were narrowed to a slit, but it did not affect his
nimble movements in any way.
He neatly set the things he brought for Nicole on the small dining table on the side.
“I heard that you were sick. I was so worried about you. With our friendship, I had to come and see
you!”
Nicole curled her lips to cover up the puzzlement and awkwardness.
She did not even know when she and Toto had a friendship. Toto unobtrusively handed her a fork.
’this is my homemade, low-fat, nutritious meal that’s great for your health. It’s packed with all kinds of
nutrients. Try some!”
Nicole raised her eyebrows. She trusted Toto’s cooking skills. Otherwise, she would not have tolerated
staying at Imperial Gardens for so long when Eric was injured.
Toto was always good at grasping the thoughts and concerns of ladies and would not cook greasy
foods. The food he made was also very appetizing and delicious.
Although Nicole was surprised by his sudden arrival, seeing the table filled with small dishes, Nicole felt
quite hungry.
Thinking of this, Nicole did not hold back. She took a piece of ravioli and bit into it. The juices in the
pasta pocket melted in her mouth. It was an absolute delight.
Nicole’s mood was instantly relaxed. She pointed to the opposite chair.
“Sit.”
Toto was not polite and sat on the side while he put on gloves to cut the roasted beef slices. It was
crispy and charred.
He sighed unintentionally.
“Mr. Ferguson hasn’t slept well for several days. Sometimes, he’ll just sleep at the office. I’m so
heartbroken when I see it.”
This was the purpose of Toto’s visit, to gain sympathy for Eric.
Nicole frowned and looked at Toto.
“He’s doing that to make money. He can earn tens of millions a minute, so why are you feeling
heartbroken for him?”
A butler with an annual salary of tens of thousands of dollars was worrying for someone worth
hundreds of billions of dollars?
Toto froze.
He instantly felt suffocated and did not know how to continue his next words.
