Chapter 1159 The Decision Is Yours

Nicole’s body stiffened slightly. Although it was indeed hard on Clayton, who would say it so frankly?

She curled her lips and said, "Then you should take a good rest for a few days. Give yourself a

vacation?"

Clayton smiled warmly. He did not have the slightest intention of letting go of her.

"I'm afraid I can't. There’s still a tough battle coming u p."

Nicole looked at him in disbelief.

A trace of imperceptible ruthlessness crossed Clayton’s eyes.

"The Sloan family sustained too much of a loss. I'm afraid that Isaac won't be able to keep his position

as CEO!"

Nicole's eyes widened. How could such big news be kept hidden without a hint of leakage?

"It's you?"

Clayton laughed. "He's the one who set me up and wanted to short my stocks. From an outsider's

perspective, I was manipulating the stock market in order to run away, but the money went to Isaac."

"So, he got a taste of shorting and bet on the whole Sloan Corporation?"

Nicole asked.

Clayton gave Nicole an appreciative look. 'She's so smart and can get it with a little hint!’

"Not the whole company, but enough to cause damage."

Nicole thought about it. 'Right... After all, the Sloan family had deep roots in Liberty. They won't just go

bankrupt because of a few stocks.'

Even if Isaac Sloan was stupid, there were still reliable people in the company who would not put all the

eggs in the same basket.

However, if this situation continues, the Sloan family's era would soon come to an end.

After Clayton said that, it took a while for Nicole to realize that the two of them had maintained this

embracing position from the beginning and had not let go yet.

Although there was no one else in her office, she still felt embarrassed.

She immediately pushed him away as if nothing had happened and walked to the side of the sofa.

"Do you want to go back and take a rest? You're probably tired from the journey."

"I'm not tired anymore once I see you."

Clayton smiled and looked at her suspiciously.

"Why weren't you surprised just now?"

He had rushed over as soon as he got off the plane without any delay.

When their eyes met, Nicole could not help but smile.

She then walked to the desk, moved the monitor to face Clayton, and clicked on the video.

The live broadcast instantly played again.

Clayton's every move at the airport was made known t o the whole country, but he was clueless.

He was shocked for a moment, then helplessly rubbed his brow.

"No wonder... I didn't know."

Nicole looked at him with amusement. "It's a good, ambiguous answer, but it won't make people

satisfied. I suggest that you discuss the countermeasures with your company and put up a unified

front."

Clayton stood there and looked at her deeply.

"What do you think?"

Nicole frowned. 'What does it have to do with me?'

Clayton's gaze was deep and dark.

"I don't have such a profoundly righteous concept of internationality. It’s true that I grew up in Liberty,

but I survived on my own. As for Mediania, the general environment isn't as confusing as it sounds.

Nicole, will you take me to meet your family? If possible, I'd like to move my business to Mediania, so I

don’t have t o deviate from my goal."

Clayton looked at Nicole with compelling eyes.

The decision was up to Nicole alone.

If Nicole said that Clayton should stay, then he would shift the focus of his life to her so that he could be

closest to her.

Clayton never wanted Nicole to leave her home because of him because he would take the initiative to

go toward her.

There was silence for a while.

Nicole pursed her lips. "Sure, anytime!"
