Chapter 1616 Really Want to Save You
yton smiled. His tone was warm and modest, but his eyes were not careless at all.
Although yton did not deal with anypany affairs during his recuperation, it did not mean that h e
was ignorant of everything that was happening in the outside world.
Eric''s every move, even the smallest change, was within yton''s grasp.
yton clearly had a profound understanding of the situation.

Eric''s gloomy eyes swept him a nce. "That won’t happen. Thanks for your concern."
ytonughed lightly. He smiled and did not continue to speak.
Since the stalemate was broken, yton only needed t o be a spectator in theirter conversation.
Nicole impatiently said, "Hurry up and say what you need to. We''re in a hurry."
Eric’s face was tense. He pursed his lips and looked at Nicole with eyes that were overflowing with
sadness.
"You must hate me to death, right?"
Nicole did not make a sound. She did not agree, nor did she deny it.
Eric lowered his eyes to hide the despondency in them. He let out a lightugh.
"Right. If I were you, I''d hate myself too."
He paused for a few seconds and spoke in a calm, raspy voice.
"When you were taken away, Caleb contacted me to exchange you with Angie. But after I went there, I
realized that Caleb didn''t intend to exchange hostages. He backtracked on the spot and wanted to use
mypanies tounder money for him. He wanted me to rope me into the firearms business and
make use of my efforts and contacts for his shady business. You''re also aware that I have more than
just a few corporations. Even after I retired from the military, I''m still secretly sponsoring military
development. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have so easily gotten military help and mercenary assistance when
you were trapped on the ind and threatened by those pirates. That''s why I couldn''t agree to Caleb’s
request."
Eric paused and looked at Nicole''s expressionless face. The pain of his clenching heart did not ease in
the slightest.
“So, I''m sorry. I wanted to stall for some time to renegotiate, but I didn''t expect..."
Eric did not expect that Caleb would not give him this opportunity. Since Eric did not care about Nicole
at all, Caleb just got the hostage killed as revenge and
punishment.
Caleb did not even give Eric the opportunity to regret his decision.
Eric had his reasons, but those reasons seemed worthlesspared to Nicole''s life when he learned o
f her death.
Eric''s heart is sore and chagrined. If he could do it all over again, he would not have disregarded
Caleb''s request.
His choice would definitely be Nicole.
However, there were no what-ifs.
Otherwise, the situation would not be the same right now.
Each of them had their own thoughts, and no one spoke.
What could they say?
After Eric said his piece, did he still want Nicole to generously say, "I understand, so it doesn''t matter”?
It was simply ironic.
Eric raised his eyes, which were bloodshot and red. When he saw this indifferent side of Nicole, Eric
felt like his heart was being stabbed.
"I didn''t think that something would happen to you. I really wanted to save you..."
Even if it meant giving up his life.
Nicole raised her eyes and looked at Eric. Her eyes were cold, bright, detached, and indifferent.
"Mr. Ferguson, I know that from the moment Angie appeared, you have your own ns, including your
engagement. It’s just that I was dragged into your n. Although it’s not your intention, I don''t think that
you’re innocent. I remember that Caleb allowed u s to talk once, and I asked you to convey my
message. Did you convey it?"
She said it word by word, extremely cold.
Eric''s face instantly stiffened.
He did not convey Nicole’s message.
Eric only told the Stanton family the important part, but he did not mention a word about the part
regarding yton.
yton suddenly lifted his head and looked at Eric.
