The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 1863

Grant's tone was light as he spoke.

“I’m not surprised. How can someone who can get out of a lion’s den like the Sloan family unscathed and even defeat them be without a temper? If he was as weak and incompetent as he appears to be, do you think that Dad and I would have agreed to their marriage just because he could coax Lil N so well with his sweet talk and make her happy?"

After that, Kai's expression changed.

Kai fiercely gritted his teeth. "You guys actually know what kind of person he is? Has he been pretending all along?"

Grant insouciantly glanced out of the window.

"He’s not exactly pretending. It's just that it makes people more comfortable if he acts like this. Lil N likes it too.”

Kai felt like he was whacked in the head by a bat. Tonight was truly an eye-opener for him.

He thought, 'So, I'm the only one that’s shocked? I'm so naive!’

Kai did not speak again on the way to the hospital as he was silently digesting this news.

He did not know how to describe what he felt.

Kai admired Clayton and had a new impression of him.

Perhaps this was for the best. At least Nicole would not be bullied.

At the hospital.

Clayton looked very worried.

Nicole was awake at times and unconscious at others. This state lasted for a long time.

Everyone barely had any sleep that night.

Julie took Chatty home because the baby could not stay up so late. Chatty did not know that such a big thing happened, so she made a fuss for a while and fell asleep.

Nicole was once again awake, two days later in the afternoon.

She smelled the strong scent of disinfectant, and when she opened her eyes, the gray and white curtains swayed with the wind.

The sun was shining outside through the trees, casting shadows on the floor.

Someone was holding her hand.

Countless scenes replayed in Nicole's mind, from the shooting in the streets of Europe to the present day.
