The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss Chapter 1592

It Won’t Collapse

“It’s because you haven’t had anything to drink for too long…”

Nicole put the water back and felt some heartache when she looked at Clayton’s thin face.

“My dad asked the butler to prepare a nutritious meal for you. The doctor said that you’ll have another
examination tomorrow. If there’s no problem, then you can eat normally. If you have something you
want to eat, feel free to tell me.”

Nicole paused before suddenly remembering something. “I haven’t talked to your subordinates yet. Do
you want to call them and arrange your company affairs first?”

Although Clayton’s roots here were not deep, everything that was needed was here. His capital was
strong, and Atlanta’s business circle gained an additional bigwig like Clayton overnight.

No one dared to underestimate him.

Clayton frowned. “No need. Roland will take care of everything.”

Nicole raised her brows at how capable his assistant was. “Do . you trust him that much?”

Clayton laughed. “I only disappeared for a few days. If the company collapses because of that, it’ll be
because of my incompetence. They need times like this to train themselves.”

Nicole thought about it. Clayton’s resolution and skills were unexpectedly much more decisive than she
thought.

In the end, he was not afraid of failure. Otherwise, he would not be so relaxed.

She smiled. “Good, then you just need to focus on recuperating.”



Nicole sat to the side and held her face in her hands as she looked at him with a smile in the corner of
her eyes.

Nicole still felt happy seeing that he could sit here and talk to her now, even if all he said were words
that made her angry.

Clayton was also happy and found a random conversation.

“Were you very worried these days? Was it Grant who brought us back?”

Nicole nodded. “He brought us back in secret. Everyone present thought we were dead. The angle you
jumped from the building with me was too elusive. No one noticed that place.”





Clayton chuckled in a low voice. “Looks like I was lucky.”

He did not have time to react that much back then. He just wanted to find the nearest window to
escape.

There was silence.

“You must’ve suffered a lot with Caleb. He must’ve gotten very angry when Mr. Ferguson didn’t agree
to his terms.”

Clayton spoke cautiously. When he first learned that Eric had refused Caleb’s conditions, his first
reaction was that it was over. Nicole would definitely get hurt.

Clayton did not understand. Eric said that he loved her, yet he would not even compromise on those
conditions.



Eric could have just agreed first to stall for time.

The person who said he loved her did not actually love her that much. How sad would Nicole be if she
knew about this?

Nicole could not help but smile. “It was fine, actually. At first, he considered me a very valuable
bargaining chip and still treated me with courtesy…”

Clayton lowered his eyes and looked at her. “Then?”

Nicole pursed her lips. “Then I was locked up in a room where I saw the goods he smuggled…”

She told him everything she saw in that room in detail. The things that used to be distant from her
surprisingly became a guiding light on her path of life.

What she saw and heard was shocking.

After she spoke, Clayton also fell silent.

He looked at Nicole’s shocked eyes that still had a trace of fear i n them and pursed his lips.

Clayton knew that she lived in a peaceful and safe environment. Even when studying abroad, there
were people around to protect her. She had never experienced real cruelty before.

What she had just told him was only the tip of the iceberg. In fact, it was the most decent-looking peak.

Nicole was not like him, who had been rolling in the dark since he was a child. Clayton had long since
gotten used to things like these. In Liberty, it was not that shocking for someone to die.

As long as the person died normally, the police would not pursue the case fervently.



Therefore, this was an exceptional tolerance for the capital.
