The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 1984 The Next Step in the Plan

The air was stagnant for a moment.

Mitchell was a little shocked. 'Tyler lied to us? But we don't have any news of Ms.

Ferguson and Mrs. Ferguson yet. If we turn against Tyler now, I'm afraid..."

Eric raised his hand. His eyes were cold.

"How are the preparations that the Stanton family made? This project is important, so they must rely entirely on foreign forces. The Stanton family's business abroad is completely independent of the domestic Stanton Corporation, which is the best help for us." "You have already discussed with President Grant, so it's naturally not a problem, but if he asks later..."

Mitchell hesitated.

"If he asks, then tell him the truth. As long as we can freeze Tyler's illegal money, we'll have the upper hand, then we'll be able to execute the next steps." Listening to Eric's words, Mitchell nodded. However, Mitchell saw that Eric's eyes were indescribably complicated and profound.

If it were not for the constraints, how could such a proud person like Eric be in cahoots with someone like Tyler?

Mitchell said, "Should we remind the Stanton family that Ms. Stanton is being targeted? This isn't good..."

Eric closed his eyes. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line.

No need. The less contact we have with her, the safer she will be since Tyler won't take her to heart."

Mitchell wanted to say something, but he saw that Eric had already made up his mind, so it was pointless to continue.

He just felt that Nicole might be safer if she knew this in advance and took precautions.

Eric's concerns were also justified. There would be greater hope of success if fewer people knew about this matter.

After all, if the plan failed, Ingrid and Quinn would not be able to come back.

After what happened at lan's wedding, there were many more bodyguards at Nicole and Clayton's residence.

It was not convenient for them to live in their apartment, so they returned to the

Stanton Mansion.

Chatty was the happiest because of this.

Kai was traumatized and insisted on moving back to the Stanton Mansion with Julie.

Floyd judged Kai, ;d.:RJY> Julie was helpless about it.

Kai was the purest-minded among the Stanton family. Even his second brother, Maverick, had been targeted and escaped death many times in order to protect the country's important research results. However, Maverick had never been so frightened.

Kai was completely different. He never suffered such humiliation before and could not sit still, especially after he found out about Tyler's true identity.

He arranged more than a dozen bodyguards for himself and Julie. Even when he was at the peak of his popularity in the entertainment industry, Kai had never been so high-profile.

This made Nicole shake her head every time she saw Kai.

Julie was making coffee Recently, Chatty could run a few steps. Although she would fall and roll over when she ran, she still liked to stand and run endlessly.

Chatty smelled the aroma of coffee and ran to Julie's leg staggeringly. She stretched out her little arms and asked for a hug.

Julie looked at her with a smile. "Wait a minute, baby."

She put down what was in her hand and bent over to pick Chatty up.

Chatty held Julie's face to kiss her, then smiled and wiped away the saliva on her face, feeling a little embarrassed.

Julie felt her heart melting.

Kai walked in looking listless and stretched out his arms for a hug.

Julie smiled, ignored Kai, and carried Chatty out.

Kai was very hurt. "Jules, the doctors say that I have post-traumatic stress disorder. I'm a patient, so you should comfort me!"

Julie said, "K, you should be learning from Chatty. Look how brave she is!"

"Wasn't I very brave at the time? I rushed over when they attacked you..."

Kai explained with a pale face.

When Tyler's men took out their weapons, Kai used all his bravery on Julie.

Julie smiled, reached out, and stroked Kai's messy hair like she was petting a huge pet dog.

"Yes, it's normal to be afraid. I don't mean to blame you, K. But you shouldn't make such a fuss about it. Now, even traveling is a problem. I'll accompany you for one more day, then I'll start work again." Julie did not feel helpless because of Kai's state. On the contrary, Julie would not blame him even if he ran away at the time.

She had a knife to her neck, so he could have gone to get help, but he did not.

Kai's eyes were bloodshot when he rushed up to the attackers without the slightest hesitation.

He was only concerned about her safety.

Julie was fine, but Kai was punched heavily a few times. Otherwise, he would not have gotten caught so quickly.

Fortunately, they all managed to get out of this dangerous situation.

However, Julie did not expect that Kai would be so traumatized. His injuries were almost healed, but he still could not get over the situation.

Grant, Nicole, and Clayton also took turns talking to Kai, but it was all useless.

Kai would rather accompany Floyd and Chatty at home every day.

Kai paused for a while and hugged Julie and Chatty.

"One day is too short. You should take a year off! Or half a year? One month?"

Julie looked at him with a fake smile.

"Why don't I just resign then?"

"That's fine, too! You just need to spend money. Leave all the money-making to me!"

Kai happily agreed.

Julie had every reason to speculate whether Kai's trauma was faked.

This purpose seemed a little sinister.

In the back garden, Grant, Nicole, and Clayton were playing poker with Floyd.

The four of them were talking and laughing. Mr. Anderson was watering the flowers behind and joined in the conversation.

It was a nice day that was not too sunny or humid.

Floyd had a good hand and won three times in a row. He was so happy that he could not stop smiling.

Nicole counted the cards in her heart, but no matter how she counted, she felt that something was wrong.

Grant and Clayton casually chatted about the company's affairs and did not care much about the game.

Only Nicole and Floyd were concentrating on playing cards.

Clayton was sitting opposite her, so she should not have lost so badly. However, Nicole started to doubt life at that moment. Just when Nicole wanted to quit playing, Clayton's phone rang.

Clayton glanced at it and picked it up without any hesitation. He did not avoid the Stantons.

"Hello?"

Clayton was holding his cards with one hand. His fingers were well-defined like works of art. His other hand clutched his

phone to his ear, and his head was slightly tilted to the side. His handsome and unrestrained face looked a little dispirited.

Nicole glanced at him. Clayton did not lift his eyelids when the foreigner over the phone was speaking. He briefly answered the person and hung up. Then, Clayton continued to chat with Floyd as if nothing had happened.

Floyd treated Clayton as his own son. He even wanted to team up with Clayton to defeat Nicole and Grant.

Grant glanced at Nicole helplessly.

The corners of Nicole's mouth twitched to express her dissatisfaction.

In the next second, Grant's phone also rang.

Grant looked at the number and turned solemn for a moment. He then walked into the distance and picked up the call.

He seemed to hear something and subconsciously turned to look at them.

It seemed like he was looking at Clayton.

Grant's expression changed, and he was slightly shocked.
