The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 17

Eric Ferguson watched as Grant Stanton's car gradually drove away with narrowed eyes and a sullen expression.

The divorced Nicole was like a derailed train. He simply could not figure out which direction she was heading.

In the past, Nicole would be very cautious around him, but now, she even dared to say those ungracious words fearlessly.

Ingrid was reluctant to let Nicole get away so easily and wanted to stop their car, but Eric yanked her back.

"That’s enough!"

"Brother, how can you side with an outsider? Nicole bullying me is the same as disrespecting our family! That ungrateful b*tch forgot who fed, clothed, and accommodated her these past three years. She needs t o be taught a lesson!"

"Ingrid Ferguson, the jewelry in the safe at Imperial Gardens are all for Nicole. Why did you take them without permission?" Eric reminded her. Although he had not taken the initiative to give it to Nicole, everything at the Imperial Gardens belonged to him and Nicole.

"Brother, I'm your sister! It's just a piece of jewelry, so why are you being so calculative? Besides, Nicole doesn't have any occasion that she could wear such expensive jewelry, so why can't I take it?" Ingrid spoke with discontent and thought that Nicole was not worthy of the "Daydream" necklace.

Eric really wanted to teach his sister a lesson, but Ingrid began to cry aggrievedly, so he did not know what to say for a moment.

"I’ll watch the surveillance footage first."

This made Ingrid freeze in place. She stopped crying and gritted her teeth in indignation. "Brother, do you not believe me? Nicole clearly framed me!" 1

"We'll know once we see it." Eric cast a sidelong glance at his sister and walked into the restaurant. 1

A trace of panic crossed Ingrid’s face, but she bit the bullet and followed Eric.
