The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss Chapter 771

Once Clayton Sloan came, everyone held different expressions.

Floyd snorted coldly. He was still harboring some rage against Clayton for dragging his daughter into
this mess.

However, thinking about the fact that Clayton just saved Nicole’s life, Floyd did not kick Clayton out.

Besides, Clayton might also be a victim.Kai beckoned. “I’m sure Clayton’s here to explain things.
Quick, invite him in.”“Dad, after all, he’s Lil N’s lifesaver. Even if you feel angry, you have to put up with
it…”

Floyd rolled his eyes and sat down with a calm demeanor. ” I know!”

Kai laughed. Nicole was calm.

Since she knew that Stanton Corporation’s stocks were not affected much, Nicole did not bother about
this.

It was not like she had not been berated by netizens before.

She also did not care what her image was in the hearts of netizens.

As soon as Clayton came in, he saw that except Grant and Maverick, all the Stantons were there.
Floyd and Kai’s faces were not very pleasant. Only Nicole smiled at him.

“Looks like it’s raining outside. Mr. Sloan is soaked. Mr. Anderson, please get a dry towel for him…”

The butler answered and hurriedly found a new towel for Clayton, then handed it over.

Clayton took it but did not dry himself. He only looked at Nicole with a dark and complicated gaze.



He felt very guilty.

For a while, Clayton did not know how he should explain this.

He was afraid that Nicole would believe the rumors online, but he was even more afraid that she would
not ask him if it was true.

That was because it would mean that she did not care.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Kai’s laughter broke the awkward silence.

“Mr. Sloan, you’ve had quite a busy day, right?”

Clayton came back to his senses. His smile was still light and modest.

When Clayton looked at Floyd, he was more solemn and guilty.

“I’m really sorry for dragging Nicole and the Stanton family into this because of what happened to me.
I’ve already asked someone to settle this matter. It’ll be gone first thing tomorrow morning and will
never be mentioned again.”

He said with certainty as if he had a plan.

Floyd lifted his eyes. His expression looked a lot better.

“Mr. Sloan, you’re one of us, and we don’t believe those rumors about you. It’s a good thing that Lil N is
open- minded and doesn’t care about these. Otherwise, how could she stand being talked about like
this on the internet?”

Clayton’s eyes swept across Nicole. His warm and calm face looked serious.



“Yes, Nicole is the most innocent party in this. I’ll make a statement to clarify this online. I won’t drag
Nicole down in this mess. This is a painful lesson for me.”

Nicole paused and raised a smile.

“These aren’t important, but these two waves of public opinion were directed at you. Do you have any
idea who did it?”

It was clear that they wanted to attack Clayton. Who had Clayton offended in the country?

Clayton’s expression changed a few times. He hesitated for half a second and said in a faint voice,
“Ferguson Corporation was pushing this behind the scenes.”

This sentence was like a bomb that was dropped on them. Everyone present was shocked.

Eric Ferguson?

“I know that Kai helped to suppress the trending topic this morning. At that time, I only realized after the
fact, but I only thought that it was a farce. In the afternoon, my marketing analyst told me that someone
had bribed the woman who exposed me online. She was instructed to make a commotion in order to
force me out of Mediania.”

Looking at Floyd and Kai’s angry face, Clayton did not feel any better.

Clayton always felt that Eric was not so despicable as to push Nicole out to take a bullet for him.

However, the results of his investigation were laid out in front of him.

Clayton could not believe it. ’Eric is actually so despicable to this extent?! I’ve really overestimated him
before!’
