Chapter 420 It's a Trap

Nicole picked up her glass and took a big sip of wine. She did not want to talk t

o Toto. www.noveljar.com

She just wanted to pretend that she did not know him! www.noveljar.com

The one-sided conversation between Toto and Nicole quickly drew the attention of the others. Paul Newton was undeterred and came over with his glass of wine. He looked at Toto strangely.

This man is..." www.noveljar.com

Nicole had no intention of introducing

Toto. www.noveljar.com

On the contrary, Toto stood up and scrutinized Paul. Paul's eye had a complex desire that seemed to carry a bit of hatred and malicious intent. www.noveljar.com

Toto laughed. His eyes narrowed into slits as he went over to shake Paul's hands. www.noveljar.com

"Oh my! It's been such a long time!" www.noveljar.com

Paul pondered for a moment. Seeing how familiar this man acted, they must have met before, but Paul could not remember who it was. www.noveljar.com

He smiled stiffly. "Yes, yes. I saw that you and Ms. Stanton are having a nice chat. Am I interrupting?"

"Of course not!" www.noveljar.com

Toto waved his hand. He was calm, frank, and not at all restrained. www.noveljar.com

At first glance, Toto looked like someone well-acquainted with the people here. www.noveljar.com

There was not a single flaw in his act. www.noveljar.com

Paul smiled meaningfully at the two

people. www.noveljar.com

"Ms. Stanton, you're truly so beautiful that there are men around you everywhere you go..." www.noveljar.com "How could someone like us be worthy of Ms. Stanton? Toto interrupted him and looked at Paul Newton seriously. Although Toto did not know who Paul was, Paul looked like a rich man and

clearly had bad intentions for Nicole. www.noveljar.com

"You see, I'm so fat and dumb, and you're so old. Let's not make a fool of ourselves. People like Ms. Stanton only deserve people like Mr. Ferguson..." www.noveljar.com Paul initially had a cunning smile, but it quickly faded upon hearing Toto's words.

'He's calling me old?!" www.noveljar.com

Paul asked, "Which company are you from?" www.noveljar.com

He smiled sincerely and was very curious. www.noveljar.com

However, his eyes looked dangerous. www.noveljar.com

It was as if Paul could easily bankrupt that company as soon as Toto told him. He had the ability to do so.

Toto said, "I'm not telling!" www.noveljar.com

The atmosphere was instantly stagnant. www.noveljar.com

Nicole was considering whether to say a couple of words for Toto, but she inadvertently met Clayton's gaze from not far away.

Clayton hung up the phone and walked over briskly. His face was a little glum. He grabbed Nicole's wrist and whispered in her ear.

"He's awake and can speak. The doctor told us to hurry over...." www.noveljar.com

That driver woke up? www.noveljar.com

Nicole was shocked and followed him without a word. www.noveljar.com

No one noticed that Paul Newton's face instantly changed after Clayton said this. www.noveljar.com

Toto looked at Paul hesitantly and trotted after Nicole. www.noveljar.com However, he was still too late. www.noveljar.com

Nicole and Clayton already left.

Luca hurriedly followed in another car and soon disappeared into the night. www.noveljar.com

Toto waved his hand. No one waited for him because he was too slow. www.noveljar.com

Nicole sat there nervously. "Is he really

awake? www.noveljar.com

Clayton let out a low chuckle. The expensive watch on his wrist reflected the cold streetlights amidst the darkness. "No, that person can't be saved at all." www.noveljar.com

Nicole froze. "So, it's a trap?" www.noveljar.com

She suddenly thought of what Clayton said earlier and had an epiphany. "The mastermind behind this is one of those three?" www.noveljar.com

Clayton gave her an appreciative look 4 Right." www.noveljar.com

Nicole's heart instantly sank. www.noveljar.com

She had been guessing that it was her enemies, but she had not offended any o

f those three before... www.noveljar.com

"Could it be because Clayton chose Stanton Corporation for the project?! www.noveljar.com

Nicole raised her eyes and met Clayton's gaze

His voice was cold and deep. "You guessed it right. It's indeed because of the project." www.noveljar.com

Nicole had a complicated expression before she calmed herself down. www.noveljar.com

"How did you find out about them?" www.noveljar.com

Clayton's eyes were cold. His voice was icy. www.noveljar.com

"I've placed eyes around them and just got the news. They've sought the same private detective, who earns commission by laundering money for the rich and transferring assets abroad. That extra money in the driver's bank account came from this private detective's offshore account." www.noveljar.com

Nicole was shocked. So, is it really them?" www.noveljar.com

She had an intuition that it was Paul www.noveljar.com

Newton. www.noveljar.com

Although Theodore was rude, he was a straightforward person. Hayden Zink had always been sly and careful. Only

Paul Newton revealed a malicious intent in his words. www.noveljar.com

It made her extremely uncomfortable. www.noveljar.com

"We'll know soon," Clayton said. www.noveljar.com
