Chapter 2098
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 2098 Lose His Reputation
Eric hated Clayton.He absolutely hated Claytonâs face.
Listening to Clayton speak made Eric even more annoyed.Eric did not know how it was possible for
such an annoying person to exist in this world.Eric was livid as he sat on the sofa, motionless and stiff.
If not for his wound, Eric would have fought with Clayton.Eric wanted Clayton to know what it meant to
have a death wish.
The maid looked at them strangely and did not dare to listen anymore.She quickly left the vicinity.
Clayton put the gifts on the table, patted them, and said meaningfully, "Here, mend your wound."
Eric glared at him with dark eyes.
"No need.Keep it for yourself!" Clayton chuckled lightly, seemingly mocking Ericâs stubbornness.
"Mr.Ferguson, I'm not here to visit you because youâre sick.Donât misunderstand my good intentions."
Eric really wanted to rip off Clayton's hypocritical mask.
"Clayton Sloan, if you have something to say, just spit it out! Donât think that I wonât dare to do anything
to you.This is my territory.If I really want to kill you, you wonât have a chance to stand in front of me!"
Claytonâs smile subsided.He raised his eyebrows.He sat opposite Eric.His expression also turned glum.
"Of course, I know that.You've been tolerant enough of me.At least, Iâm fully prepared to go all out and
crush you, but nothing happened."
"No, Iâm the one who will crush you!" Eric stared at Clayton indifferently and corrected him.
Clayton did not bother to continue bickering.
"Yasmin is Angie. Where is she now?"
Knowing Claytonâs intention, Eric seemed to have figured out Claytonâs trump card and settled his
emotions.
"How do you know that sheâs Angie? Were you the one who arranged this?"
Eric was leaning on the sofa, occupying the whole space.He looked very imposing.
"When she fell into your hands last time, you let her go.Why is that? What kind of deal did you reach
with her?"
Eric stared at Clayton, trying to find out any hint of their collusion from Claytonâs face.
Clayton lifted his eyelids indifferently, his tone was cold.
"That is the case, but you donât have to know the details.After all, you also fell into my hands, and I also
let you go."
Clayton looked arrogant, and his tone was cold and mocking.
To Eric, this was a major provocation that challenged his dignity.
Clayton was clearly mocking Eric's incompetence! Eric narrowed his eyes and coldly stared him down.
"So? You want me to be grateful to you?"
"Thatâs not necessary.I don't expect you to repay me.My wife and I have done quite a lot of charity work
recently, so Iâve learned to be more generous."
Every word that Clayton said was like a nail hammered into Ericâs heart.It made Eric hate Clayton even
more.
Clayton looked at Eric calmly and maintained a calm smile.
"I'm just reminding you that weâre on the same front when it comes to dealing with Angie.After all, her
existence is a threat to us.With a ticking time bomb like her by your side, you canât possibly sleep
soundly, right?"
Eric looked at him expressionlessly.
"Why are you worried, Mr.Sloan? Isnât she yours?"
Clayton laughed when he heard this.
"How could she be mine?"
"If you hadnât asked her to approach me and set a trap for me, how could she bear my child? If she
hadn't slipped away from your hands, how could she become Yasmin?"
Eric looked straight at Clayton and exposed Claytonâs deeds.Claytonâs face was tense as he looked at
Eric blankly.
"Mr.Ferguson, sorry to disappoint.Angie has nothing to do with me.Why would you need my guidance
in conceiving a child with her? Well, to say that I instigated her to approach you...To be honest, sheâs
not the only one I instigated.Your partner's sister, whatâs her name? Cher-â Sheâs also one of them.As
for why Angie slipped away, I don't think itâs my fault because I donât operate a prison.You canât blame
me for not being able to hold a prisoner, right?"
Clayton shrugged his shoulders and explained slowly.
However, this explanation infuriated Eric even more.If it were not for Claytonâs involvement, Eric would
not have encountered so many troubles.
Clayton did not clean up his mess and brought Eric so much trouble.
Thinking about it made Eric furious.
Why did Eric have to live in such dire circumstances while Clayton could establish such a good image
for himself?
Most importantly, Clayton gained the most important person that Eric had lost from his life.
Eric stared at him gloomily.
There was no trace of emotion in his dark eyes.
"So, are you saying youâre the most innocent person in this? Donât you think itâs funny?" Clayton smiled
faintly.
"I am innocent.I lost the oi] market in South Africa, and I also cooperated with you to catch Tyler.We
shouldâve been the best partners!"
Eric stood up abruptly.His eyes looked sinister with a fuming rage.He took a few steps forward,
grabbed Claytonâs collar, and shoved him back.
Eric instantly exuded dark and cold vibes.He really wanted to strangle Claytonâs neck.
Clayton, who had always been gentle and modest, suddenly retaliated.His elbow blocked Ericâs chest,
and he suddenly stood up and twisted his body away from Eric.
In an instant, the air in the room froze.
Eric was extremely disgruntled and provoked.His body exuded an intimidating chill.
He picked up the ashtray beside him and threw it at Clayton, who dodged it.
The ashtray was smashed onto a cabinet, and the red wine on the cabinet was smashed to pieces.
Several bottles fell, and the ground was a mess.
When the maid heard the commotion, she rushed out to take a look and was overwhelmed with shock.
The next second, Eric hurried forward and punched Clayton's mouth hard while Clayton was busy
dodging.
Clayton did not manage to dodge the punch and was hit.
Blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth.
His eyes darkened instantly and turned cold.
Standing in front of Eric, Clayton no longer had his usual gentle and kind vibe.
The corners of Claytonâs mouth curled into a cold smile.
"Mr.Ferguson, do you want to fight with me? Of course, I canât beat you in a fight.I didnât come here to
get beaten either, so if you want to continue this, just forget that I came today."
Clayton wiped off the blood with his thumb.His eyes had a bit of chill.However, it was more
cynical.Clayton was indeed not Ericâs opponent in a physical fight, but he had ways to get revenge on
Eric if he wanted to.
Clayton did not want to go to that point because losing Nicole was probably Ericâs biggest
punishment.He knew that it was hopeless for Nicole to get back together with Eric, so Clayton would
not become Ericâs opponent.
Clayton would not kill someone who had no deterrent effect on his life.
However, Eric did not seem to have an accurate understanding of his place.
Was Eric so miserable that he did not reflect on himself? Clayton chuckled lightly, raised his feet, and
walked out.
When Clayton walked past the maid, he smiled and nodded to the maid gently.He was simply polite
and harmless.
"wait."
Ericâs cold and deep voice suddenly came from behind.
"That woman is already dead.Are you afraid that she will have something over you?"
Of course, Eric was just testing the waters as he had no proof.
Clayton sneered, turned his eyes slightly, and sighed.
"Mr.Ferguson, you really wish that Iâll lose everything, huh?"
His tone was light, without the slightest agitation or nervousness.
