Chapter 799

Toto coughed heavily when he heard Clayton’s name.

He then pressed the button that automatically pulled the curtain open. The sunlight outside the window
was brilliant and blinding, which instantly shone into the car. Nicole subconsciously closed her eyes.
The memories from before she slept flooded in her head. ’Oh… This is Eric’s car…’

When she raised her head again, she saw Eric’s dark and sullen face. He seemed to be vaguely
suppressing his anger as he looked deeply at her. Eric then simply opened the car door and got off.

The people in the other cars also came down. They were from the Stanton family. Eric straightened his
clothes and nodded slightly. “Big Brother…” The corners of Grant’s mouth twitched.

Grant’s face was already glum to begin with because Nicole had run off to Sand City by herself without
telling him. By the time Grant knew about it, it was already too late.

When Grant was on the way to pick her up, he heard that she had been taken away by Eric. Not only
that, she even lost contact with the Stanton family.

The Stantons used a lot of connections to get access to the surveillance footage on all major highways
and roads before they pinpointed Nicole’s location.

Eric was actually circling around the city center. He was sick in the head! “Mr. Ferguson, you’re so
relaxed. It looks like you don’t care about that little farce online…”

Grant’s tone was indifferent, and his voice was deep as he spoke. Eric ignored Grant’s indifference and
smiled politely.

Among the Stanton brothers, only Grant’s character and temperament were closest to Eric. Thus, Eric
respected Grant.



Of course, Eric respected him even more as Nicole’s big brother. “What’s done is done. Besides taking
it as a warning, I’m afraid that it’s impossible to start over again. But it’s added quite a lot of trouble to
you, Big Brother…” Eric kept calling Grant “Big Brother”, which made Grant extremely vexed.

“Mr. Ferguson, if you really don’t want to add trouble to others, then stay away from my sister. Your
Ferguson family kept pestering her. Do you think that it’s not enough to put her in harm’s way?” If
Nicole had not amused herself in this counterattack and had not been satisfied with her means and
effect, Grant would never have stopped so easily.

It definitely would not have been as simple as Ingrid being sent out of the country. Eric calmly said, “I’ll
visit the Stanton Mansion some other day to apologize.” Grant said, “No need to visit us. Our family will
be grateful

for that.”

Grant’s attitude was very disrespectful. Eric’s face also sank.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.

Then, Nicole could not help but poke her head out. Her tone was soft with some laziness. “Brother,
carry me…”

Eric turned to the side and saw Nicole extending her arms toward Grant. Grant’s face changed
instantly. He then walked over gently, bent down, and carried her out of the car.

Seeing that Nicole was not bullied and her face was rosy and glowing, Grant’s emotions eased a bit.
Eric looked at Nicole’s completely different attitudes toward him and Grant and felt uncomfortable. He
tried hard to comfort himself that Grant was his brother- in-law, so he should not get jealous or angry.



When Grant walked past Eric to leave, Eric did not stop him. Eric had wanted to bring Nicole back too.
It was not impossible to confine Nicole to his own world, but it was unrealistic.

Eric hoped that one day, Nicole could stand side by side with him in a dignified manner and that they
would love and cherish each other. That way, their relationship would last. He used to have her, and he
wanted her back. “Nicole…” Eric suddenly called out to her, not wanting to watch her

leave so smugly.

Grant paused in his footsteps but did not turn around.

However, Nicole turned her head to look over. Her clear eyes were sharp. Eric pursed his lips and felt a
sense of sorrow in his heart.

Even if everyone wanted to go deaf from hearing the cheesy words Eric was about to say, Eric still had
to say them. His face was cold and handsome, and his eyes were dark as he hesitated for a few
seconds. “My heart can no longer hold others with you in it…”
