Chapter 1221

Heartache

Floyd’s attitude towards Clayton and Nicole seemed completely different. Nicole pursed her lips.

She was a little speechless. “Dad, since you said that, don’t go back on your word in the future!” Floyd
glared at Nicole. “You have no say in that! Answer my question properly.” There were countless ways to
solve the problem quietly. Why did Nicole send Isaac back? Nicole’s lips curled up.

“It’s to provoke them. I want to let the Sloan family know about this. I want them to watch as Isaac dies.
Does that scumbag think that I’ll be afraid of him?” Grant looked up and said nothing. Floyd also
remained silent.

Nicole did it on purpose, not recklessly. Clayton paused and spoke quickly. “Yes, if Isaac disappears
without a trace, the Sloan family would definitely call the police or even contact intelligence services.
The matter will just blow up then. However, what Nicole did makes everyone think that it’s a private
feud. The police may not be willing to meddle in this matter.”

Floyd raised his eyes. “So, what she did was correct?” Clayton smiled. His eyes were bright as he
nodded. “I think so, yes.” Nicole smiled at Clayton. Sure enough, Clayton always supported her. In fact,
Nicole did not think that far and only wanted to express her anger. Clayton saw Nicole’s smile. His eyes
were firm. No matter who it was, anyone who tried to touch Nicole should end up like that.

If Clayton was there, things would only become more unmanageable. That was because Clayton would
not show mercy. He would make sure that Isaac drew his last breath. Floyd and Grant exchanged a
glance and did not continue. “Well, since it already happened, let’s just think about what to do next…”
Nicole bit her lower lip. “We should’ve taken the next step long ago…”

Everyone was speechless. Floyd said, “The Sloan family probably still doesn’t know what happened,
but last night’s matter was too big to cover up, so they’ll find out sooner or later.” Grant pursed his lips.



His expression was cold and solemn.

“I already had the surveillance video in the Capitol destroyed. No one will know. Even if they want to
find out, it won’t be that simple. Also… Logan didn’t find that many people, but there were a lot of
Clayton’s men…

They might find out that Clayton was involved.” That was also why Floyd called Clayton back. Floyd
was afraid that Clayton would sell out his precious daughter. Clayton nodded. His hand stroked the
arch of his brow. His movements carried a warm and reserved aura that was innate in him.

“It’s only a matter of time before they find out. If Isaac doesn’t die, he’ll also spill everything. “ “Aren’t
you worried, Mr. Sloan?” Grant put down the coffee in his hand and asked Clayton probingly. His eyes
faintly examined Clayton.

The men who appeared beside Nicole either had ulterior motives or were dim-witted like lan Carter.
They did not worry about the dim-witted ones. However, some people had ulterior motives but hid them
too well. Nicole would not be able to catch it by herself. Thus, they had to be more careful. Clayton’s
eyes were clear. He raised his head to look at them. The corners of his lips maintained a decent smile.
“

What are you worried about? That the Sloan family would retaliate? You might not know this, Chairman
Stanton, but ever since I found out that my last name is Sloan, I’ve lived i n fear all my life. It hasn’t
been just a day or two that the Sloan family tries to kill me, but I’m still alive. They can’t do anything
about it, so they can only put up with me.”
