The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 1556

The car drove past Nicole. When she looked up, her face changed dramatically.

Through the car window, Nicole saw the girl who had talked to her that night in the back of the car. The girl's face was bloodied, and her eyes were desperate and empty as she looked out the window.

The girl seemed to be looking at Nicole too.

In an instant, a wave of nausea rushed to Nicole's chest. She could no longer resist and ran out to dry heave.

However, her stomach was empty. Except for a gag reflex, nothing was thrown up.

Caleb's woman came out from inside and looked at Nicole expressionlessly with some sympathy.

"Don’t have such high hopes. This negotiation won't g o so smoothly. It could take a month or even a year."

Nicole paused and abruptly turned her head. "What does he want?"

The woman smiled and gaudily stroked her hair.

"A lot, such as Eric Ferguson's forces abroad that are powerful enough to launder money, his contacts in various parts of Mediania, and our men who have been arrested by Medianian officers..."

Nicole's face changed a few times.

It was indeed a lot.

Compared to these, Nicole and Angie were not considered much of a bargaining chip.

"That’s just a pipe dream!”

How could Eric possibly risk having the business that he had painstakingly managed get into the mire again?

It was even more impossible to expose his secret connections and drag them through the mud.

Moreover, those criminals who were arrested deserved what they got, so why should they be released?

Once Eric agreed to Caleb’s conditions, it was tantamount to agreeing to become an accomplice. Eric would never be able to rid himself of Caleb again.

"You have such little faith in your own charm?"

The woman smiled and looked at Nicole.

Nicole looked over with a clear and cold gaze. "If it were you, would you agree?"

All these overstepped the bottom line. It was equivalent to throwing away his future.

Eric was such a shrewd person.

Comparing a relationship that ended in smoke and the future of the entire Ferguson Corporation, anyone would choose the latter, right?

The woman’s smile faded. She did not speak for a while.

"You've become different from when you first arrived," she said honestly.
