Chapter 2007 It’s All Hard-Earned Money
After a while, Nicole finally realized who " that woman" was referring to.
Angie was the one who abducted her.
Nicole pursed her lips and shook her head.
The ruthlessness in yton''s eyes finally faded a little, and he quickly hid his emotions.
yton touched Nicole''s wrist, which had gotten skinnier, and felt even more heartbroken.
"That''s good. If she dares to hurt my baby, I’ll definitely get back at her."
Nicole was gratified to see yton like this. Perhaps she felt a strong attachment to him because she
had just regained consciousness. She also felt aggrieved.
"She has a big Tibetan Mastiff that’s really scary. No one can get past it.”
yton''s eyes flickered. He smiled calmly andforted her in a soft voice.
"Really? Don''t be afraid. It’s all over now. You won''t see that beast again."
Nicole nodded and was not surprised.
She would not go to that ind again, nor would she go to any ind ever again in the future because
of her various harrowing experiences on inds.

Nicole looked at yton with watery eyes.
"Sell my ind!"
That small private ind in the tropics cost her $2 billion.
Although she did not visit it yet, she no longer had the mood to go.
That was because her life was endangered numerous times at sea or on an ind.
Nicole did not want to leave thendmass for the rest of her life.
No wonder Floyd often said that farmers had the most stable and simple lives.
yton frowned in confusion.
"Didn’t you always want to go there?"
Nicole shook her head decisively.
"No. No more inds!"
yton paused. After a while, he understood why she said that.
He did not know whether tough or cry at that, but he also understood that Nicole was traumatized.
Okay. We won''t go anymore if you don''t want to. I''ll get a broker to sell it for you."
Nicole reminded him.
"I bought it for $2 billion, so don’t lose money on the sale. It''s all my third brother''s hard-earned
money!”
yton could only nod in agreement.
However, it was a good sign that she diverted her attention so quickly.
yton then exined to her about the isl> f#;YMW<''s sale.
"Actually, you bought it at a high price. Although rich people like this kind of small ind with no big
purposes. That’s because ordinary tourists won''t go there even if the ind is developed for travel. You
should''ve been able to buy it for $30 million..."
Nicole''s face became paler by the minute.
Finally, she could not help but interrupt him.
"Enough!"
Seeing her pale face, yton looked at her with concern.
"Where are you hurting?”
Nicole looked at him sadly.
"My heart...”
yton immediately shut up and tucked her under the quilt.
Nicole fell asleep as soon as she closed his eyes because she was depressed.
When she woke up again, the sky was already dark.
It was midnight.
The stars outside twinkled.
Only a dim wallmp was lit in the ward, so the room was dark.
Nicole was not used to it. She felt ufortable and insecure when she did not see yton.
She tried to sit up, but the pain in her ribs was unbearable.
Thus, shey back down and calmed herself.
She heard voicesing from outside approaching.
It was yton''s voice that sounded cold and deep.
"Of course, she wouldn’t admit to it. If she dared to admit that she had someone push Nicole on
purpose, she would die. But whether she admits to it doesn''t matter, since I have no care for evidence.''
Another person said, “Mr. Sloan, Angie has a lot of forces backing her. She''s even more formidable
than Tyler. If her people find out that we''ve captured her, they may target us. By then...”
yton chuckled and sighed.
"Didn’t she deliberately spread the news of her disappearance before this? How would anyone know
that she''s in our hands? Did she think that I''ll let her off the hook if she didn''t touch Nicole?"
The other person lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Sloan, did Angie have a motive for abducting
Madam? ording to Eric Ferguson''s mother, Angie wanted to threaten Eric to make a choice
between them and recognize his son. But I have a feeling that it isn’t that simple. Moreover, this bold
move isn''t at all like Angie''s way of doing things."
The voices outside were silent for a while.
Nicole stared at the dark ceiling with her eyes open and felt a chill in her heart.
She clenched her fists tightly. The weightlessness and fear of falling into the deep sea suddenly came
to mind.
The moment she fell into the water, she could not swim because her hands were tied. She could do
anything as the vast sea drowned her.
The kind of despair that was etched deep into her mind was truly a nightmare.
Thinking about it now, Nicole knew that this trembling fear never disappeared.
Someone pushed the door in.
Nicole was shocked and started trembling.
The person softened their footsteps, and Nicole suddenly felt scared.
"Who is it?"
Her lips were pale.
The person paused and quickly replied, "It''s me. Don''t be afraid.”
He stretched out his hand to turn on the lights, which instantly lit up the whole room. The warm light
shone on him, and he stood there looking so handsome and indifferent, like a sculpture.
Seeing that it was yton, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.
yton stepped forward and touched her sweaty forehead.
He pursed his lips. "Did you have a nightmare?"
Nicole did not exin much and only nodded.
yton stroked her hair.
"Don’t be afraid. I won’t leave you anymore."
There was a strong sense of guilt in his voice.
That day when they were on the ship, it was very likely that Tyler was the one who lured yton out of
the room, but Angie took advantage of the situation.
yton fell into the trap, which allowed Angie to act.
That was why Nicole was in danger.
Nicole stretched out her hand, hugged his broad shoulders, and closed her eyes.
"Hubby...”
She said in a low and hoarse voice.
At this time, she was as harmless as a child.
yton''s heart melted, and he let out an " mm" in response.
Nicole only called him that when she was coquettish.
yton would feel warm and fuzzy whenever Nicole addressed him like that.
It was irresistible.
He did not dare to hug Nicole too tightly, so he only used a slight force.
"I''m sorry, baby."
His voice was very soft and light in her ear.
Nicole opened her eyes slightly and saw that her face was reflected in his dark eyes.
She instantly understood his guilt.
Nicole gently traced his face and smiled.
"What does it have to do with you? You didn’t hurt me."
yton paused and suppressed the bitterness in his throat.
"I was careless. If I didn''t take you out with me, you wouldn''t have gotten into this ident."
Nicole pinched his ear and chuckled.
"My father said that danger can''t be avoided and can only be solved."
The sorrow and chill that yton felt dissipated a little. He admired his father-in w, Floyd, even more
now.
"Dad is right.”
yton lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"But don''t worry, this won’t happen again. I will never put you in danger again even if something were to
happen to me."
His tone was very light, but every word he said struck Nicole''s heart.
Of course, she believed him.
"You can''t be in danger either," Nicole muttered, "I’ll be sad too if something were to happen to you."
yton nodded and touched her face gently.
"Okay. How could I bear to make you sad?”
That was a cruel thing that only the most heinous people would do.
yton sat on the side. "Are you hungry? I’ll get someone to cook for you and bring it over right away."
"I’m not hungry."
yton said, "But I am..."
Nicole was speechless.
