The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss Chapter 2048

Strange Thing

Nicole relaxed her neck.

After a busy night, the weird feeling in her heart faded away.She did not feel anything as if it was just
like any other day.

Clayton went over and massaged the acupoints on her neck.He smiled and kissed the top of her head.

Afterward, he spoke in a low voice, "Did you have something to tell me just now?"

Nicole paused.Her exhaustion was instantly swept away.She only felt that she should not doubt
Clayton.

He had no reason to attack her.

Moreover, they had a steady relationship with no outside factors that could cause their relationship to
deteriorate.

Nicole paused and looked up at him.Her heart was racing.

Clayton’s dark eyes reflected her face and a faint light. He smiled.

"If you have something to say, just say it.What can’t we tell each other about?"

Nicole took a deep breath and said what was in her heart.

"I drank wine today and felt fine when I came back.But when I woke up, I felt uncomfortable all over, as
if...I was drugged.My body feels sore and painful, but there are no actual wounds, so..."



Nicole actually felt very sorry for suspecting Clayton, but Clayton was the person who would least likely
hurt her.

After speaking, she silently raised her head and glanced at Clayton, feeling a little guilty.

"I'm sorry..."

She was about to say that she should not doubt him, but Clayton's face was very solemn and cold.He
folded his arms and sat down across from her.

The room was very quiet.

Finally, he asked her, "You’ve never felt this way before?"

Nicole shook her head.

"You know that I used to drink with Yvette and Julie a lot, but I didn’t drink much today, so it shouldn’t
be like this..."

"Where did you guys drink?"

Clayton was very serious, and his face was also very solemn.His behavior reassured Nicole.

Instead of consoling Nicole that she was wrong, it was more reassuring to eliminate all her doubts.

"In a restaurant that we used to go to.We drank the wine that we kept there last time."

Clayton pursed his lips and said, "Tell me the address, the people you met, ECt'JKNM anything that
you’ve consumed.I'll get someone to investigate this."

Nicole pursed her lips.



"Isn’t it too much fanfare? Maybe I’m just being suspicious?" Clayton chuckled.

"There must be something wrong since it doesn’t feel right.If I don’t find anything else, shouldn’t you
suspect me then?"

He looked at her and smiled playfully, but there was no hint of blame or coldness in his eyes, as if he
was just joking.

Nicole was speechless for a while.

Although she had that thought, she did not say it.She did not expect him to see through her thoughts.

Sure enough, a man’s heart was unfathomable.She raised her head, laughed, stretched out her hand,
and swore to God.

"I never suspected you.How could I? If I doubted you, would I tell you everything? Darling, I believe in
you unconditionally!"

She would never admit that she had suspected him, just like a man would never admit that he cheated.

Otherwise, there would still be a rift no matter how much one admitted one’s mistake later.

Sure enough, Clayton looked glad.He looked at her with gentle eyes, reached out, and squeezed her
face.

"Okay, I'll believe whatever you say.I’ll check the surveillance first to see if there are any suspicious
people."

He stood up.

"You should also rest early."



Nicole nodded.

There were surveillance cameras from the apartment entrance to their home, including the living room.

Thus, checking the surveillance footage was the most direct way.

However, Nicole forgot about this.

Nicole was washing up and getting ready to sleep when Clayton walked in with a cold face.He looked
at her quietly.

Nicole was startled and lost her sleepiness.

"What's wrong?"

The way Clayton looked made it seem like the matter was serious.She paused.

Did someone really break in and drug her? Clayton’s face was solemn, and his tone was somewhat
cold.

"The surveillance cameras suddenly broke after you entered the apartment.I took a look and found that
someone had cut the wire." Nicole suddenly felt awake.

The uncomfortable feeling all over her body came back again.Her face changed a little, and there was
a bit of panic and indifference in her eyes.

Clayton pursed his lips, reached out, and stroked her head to comfort her.

"Don’t sleep just yet.I just contacted the doctor.Didn’t you say that you’re uncomfortable? Go for an
examination first to see if you’ve been drugged."

Nicole was not stupid and knew what Clayton meant.He suspected that someone had drugged Nicole.



However, their purpose was not her, but the things at home.

However, there were not many valuable things in the apartment, and their collection items were kept in
a vault.

Who had the guts to break into their home to steal? Clayton did not say much and turned around to get
her slippers.

"Come..." Nicole pursed her lips.

"Why don’t we go back to the mansion? Or go somewhere else?"

After all, they had more than one property.

The reason they lived here was that it was meaningful to them since they lived on adjacent floors
before they got married.It felt like fate.

Clayton smiled.

"Okay, but I have to find out the truth before we leave.The security system in this apartment is already
very advanced.If we live elsewhere, we’ll inevitably encounter the same thing.Why don’t you go back to
the mansion first?"

Nicole immediately shook her head.

Clayton’s words sobered her up.She could not hide even if she went elsewhere.

Going back to the mansion would only make Floyd and the others WoIry.

Forget it.



Nicole tugged at his arm.

"Forget it, I’m not going anywhere."

Clayton stroked her hair.

"Don’t be scared.I’ll get more people to guard this place."

Nicole nodded.

Time was urgent.

Nicole put on her clothes and went straight to the hospital.

Clayton calmed her down, and Nicole gradually relaxed.

By now, she had dispelled her doubts about Clayton.

The doctor drew Nicole's blood, and the test results came out after two hours.

Clayton felt really uneasy, so he got someone to send Chatty and Mrs.Zoe to the mansion that night.

He was on the phone, and Nicole was taking a nap in the ward.

She could hear that he lowered his voice for fear of disturbing her.

The hospital was quiet.

Only a man's warm and calm voice could be heard.

Not long after, Clayton came in.

The doctor also followed him in.



"Mr.Sloan, Ms.Stanton, the situation doesn’t look good.Ms.Stanton, you fainted from inhaling a large
amount of ether.You didn’t notice because you drank a lot of alcohol.This isn’t pure ether, and it’s a
processed drug for anesthesia.It has a very light smell, so if you don’t deliberately identify it when
you’re conscious, it'll be no different from the alcohol concentration in ordinary perfume..." The doctor
said solemnly.

Nicole’s face turned pale and gloomy.She looked at Clayton and frowned.

"But why didn’t I notice anything?" This made her feel powerless.

Someone had broken into her house and drugged her, yet she was unaware of it.
