“Clayton Sloan—” Quavon stood up hysterically and shouted.Quavon’s face and neck turned red in anger, and he struggled to calm his emotions and spoke to Clayton like he was striking a deal.“I can help you sit firmly in that position, and I can help you solve the problem at hand, but you must promise never to divide the interests of the Sloan family!”This was the final straw.Clayton looked at him and flicked his wrist to look at his diamond watch. His cufflinks glowed with a cold light.He stood up to straighten his jacket and said with an indifferent voice.“You’re not qualified to negotiate with me. Before long, there will no longer be a Sloan Corporation in Liberty. It’ll be called SF Corporation, and not a single Sloan will be there.”Quavon’s face suddenly changed, and he looked at Clayton in shock.“W-What are you saying?”Clayton was giving up all of Sloan Corporation’s contacts and resources to start over.This meant going back almost ten years by cutting off all i

Nicole wrapped her arms around Clayton’s neck and clung to him, nestled in his arms like a koala.Clayton was steady and unmoving like a mountain, smiling dotingly as he looked down at her.“Did you miss me that much?”He stroked her head with one hand. His movements were incredibly gentle.Nicole rubbed her chin and nodded. Her eyes were slightly sore.Although it had only been two days, it felt like so many days had passed.When Clayton was away, the house felt cold, and there was no one pampering her. It was not a nice feeling at all.There was a sense of loneliness.Subconsciously, Nicole seemed to be inseparable from Clayton. This quiet sense of dependence made her feel strange, but she did not resist it.Clayton’s kiss landed on her lips, and the two people burned up quickly like a fire was lit between them.However, just when it was about to get out of hand, Clayton let go and gently held her waist to keep her from falling on the ground.Nicole was very disappointed a

Clayton frowned slightly. His arm around her shoulder tightened, and his voice was firm and low.“It’s okay. It’ll be okay.”Clayton did not forget to take Nicole’s phone before they left. He had never seen her so frazzled before. Her eyes were blank, which made his heart tighten.Nicole’s body was stiff and trembling.She really hoped that it was a false alarm.However, she also knew that Kai would never joke about Floyd’s health.Nicole trembled and wanted to call Kai to ask about the specifics, but Kai was also in a hurry. There was a lot of background noise, so she simply could not hear him clearly.Clayton comforted her with his deep voice.“Don’t be scared, Nicole. We’ll be there soon.”He noticed her subconsciously tightened hands and immediately held them.The driver drove very fast, and they arrived at the hospital in just ten minutes.Grant’s people were downstairs to pick them up.Nicole followed with an unpleasant expression and saw Grant and Kai standing there,

However, when they came out, their expressions were solemn and not very pleasant.“Mr. Sloan, the chairman’s health isn’t good. Although the surgery fifteen years ago was successful, the valves of his heart have been damaged and are blocking the blood vessels, so the risk is extremely high. The best recommendation now is to operate.”Grant pursed his lips. His gaze was sunken and cold. “What’s the success rate if you handle the surgery?”The expert held his forehead and shrugged very honestly. “40%. This isn’t an ordinary heart bypass surgery. It isn’t even a simple surgery. It involves various aspects of linking and connecting vessels, and we can’t cut open his heart to study the surgical procedure fifteen years ago, so we can’t rule out any unexpected risks when conducting the surgery.”Plus, if it were an ordinary person, the success rate they gave might be a little higher.However, faced with the pressure from the Stanton family, they did not have that confidence.The air fro

Roland had not yet come to his senses when he received Clayton’s call, but he remembered that there was indeed such a matter.A few years ago, various countries attached great importance to the medical industry, and they took the lead in investing in various specialties.That naturally included cardiology.Roland responded blankly, “Yes, but as you know, medical research and development is slow, and profits aren’t objective. Although you’ve been throwing money into it all these years, there are only a few times they were able to recover the capital...”Even so, they could not give up halfway. This kind of investment was good news to all of mankind. It was an opportunity to make progress for the entire human race.Clayton interrupted his report and immediately asked.“Who spearheaded the team for cardiology research?”Roland immediately recalled. “Professor Phillip? But he passed away a few days ago due to a car accident. The one who took over now is his apprentice, Felix Ferguso
