Chapter 771A Painful Lesson
Once yton Sloan came, everyone held different expressions.
Floyd snorted coldly. He was still harboring some rage against yton for dragging his daughter into
this mess.
However, thinking about the fact that yton just saved Nicole''s life, Floyd did not kick yton out.
Besides, yton might also be a victim.
Kai beckoned. "I''m sure yton''s here to exin things. Quick, invite him in."
He looked at Floyd.
"Dad, after all, he''s Lil N''s lifesaver. Even if you feel angry, you have to put up with it..."
Floyd rolled his eyes and sat down with a calm demeanor. "I know!"
Kaiughed. Nicole was calm.
Since she knew that Stanton Corporation’s stocks were not affected much, Nicole did not bother about
this.
It was not like she had not been berated byizens before.
She also did not care what her image was in the hearts ofizens.
As soon as yton came in, he saw that except Grant and Maverick, all the Stantons were there.

Floyd and Kai’s faces were not very pleasant.
Only Nicole smiled at him.
"Looks like it''s raining outside. Mr. Sloan is soaked. M r. Anderson, please get a dry towel for him..."
The butler answered and hurriedly found a new towel for yton, then handed it over.
yton took it but did not dry himself. He only looked at Nicole with a dark andplicated gaze.
He felt very guilty.
For a while, yton did not know how he should exin this.
He was afraid that Nicole would believe the rumors online, but he was even more afraid that she would
not ask him if it was true.
That was because it would mean that she did not care.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Kai’sughter broke the awkward silence.
"Mr. Sloan, you''ve had quite a busy day, right?”
yton came back to his senses. His smile was still light and modest.
When yton looked at Floyd, he was more solemn and guilty.
"I''m really sorry for dragging Nicole and the Stanton family into this because of what happened to me.
I''ve already asked someone to settle this matter. It''ll be gone first thing tomorrow morning and will
never be mentioned again."
He said with certainty as if he had a n.
Floyd lifted his eyes. His expression looked a lot better.
"Mr. Sloan, you''re one of us, and we don''t believe those rumors about you. It’s a good thing that Lil N is
open-minded and doesn’t care about these. Otherwise, how could she stand being talked about like
this on the inte?"
yton''s eyes swept across Nicole. His warm and calm face looked serious.
"Yes, Nicole is the most innocent party in this. I''ll make a statement to rify this online. I won’t drag
Nicole down in this mess. This is a painful lesson for me."
Nicole paused and raised a smile.
"These aren''t important, but these two waves of public opinion were directed at you. Do you have any
idea who did it?"
It was clear that they wanted to attack yton. Who had yton offended in the country?
yton''s expression changed a few times. He hesitated for half a second and said in a faint voice,"
Ferguson Corporation was pushing this behind the scenes."
This sentence was like a bomb that was dropped on them.
Everyone present was shocked.
Eric Ferguson?
"I know that Kai helped to suppress the trending topic this morning. At that time, I only realized after the
fact, but I only thought that it was a farce. In the afternoon, my marketing analyst told me that someone
had bribed the woman who exposed me online. She was instructed to make amotion in order to
force me out of Mediania."
Looking at Floyd and Kai''s angry face, yton did not feel any better.
yton always felt that Eric was not so despicable as t o push Nicole out to take a bullet for him. 1
However, the results of his investigation wereid out i n front of him.
yton could not believe it. ''Eric is actually so despicable to this extent?! I''ve really overestimated him
before!''
