The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 192

Nicole thought, 'Eric Ferguson is telling me about the lost ring just to stab me in the heart, huh? He’s really cruel... But, after getting used to being stabbed so many times, my heart is now as hard as a rock.' 1

Eric's eyebrows furrowed deeper. He was just about to say something when Ian Carter rushed over from not far away after noticing the movement here. "My Goddess Nicole..."

Hearing this name, Nicole could not help but smile.

The sad memory that was evoked by Eric Ferguson suddenly became insignificant.

It was not worth it getting immersed in the past sadness.

Ian came over and naturally wrapped his arm around Nicole's shoulders. He glanced sideways at Eric, full of wariness.

"We're short of one person. I especially saved the spot for you. Wanna go in and play a few rounds?"

If it was ten minutes ago, Nicole was down to play, but now, she was no longer in the mood.

Nicole hooked her lips and smiled faintly. "Nah, I’m a little tired, so I'm going home." "Then I'll send you home." Ian immediately offered.

Nicole chuckled. "Don’t even think about it. You’re the birthday boy today, so you can’t leave your own party early. Mr. Anderson will come and pick me up."

"It's fine! They're not as important as you!"

Ian only had his mind on Nicole and did not care about anything else.

Nicole took a few steps out when she suddenly remembered something.

She took out her checkbook from her bag, wrote a series of numbers, and walked to Eric Ferguson.

The coldness in Eric's eyes when he saw Nicole leaving earlier still lingered, but it vanished instantly when he saw Nicole walking back.

Nicole forcefully shoved the check in her hand into Eric’s breast pocket.

"Here’s $40 million. It's enough for you to buy a new car. Now, we don’t owe each other.”

Nicole’s smile was cold.

That was well above the market price, so there was no need to worry about any follow-up.

Nicole was annoyed with Eric's deliberate pestering and the conversation she had overheard of Eric and Gerard that day at J&L Corporation.

'He wants to fix our relationship because of remorse? Screw him!’

Nicole turned to leave without hesitation when the person behind her suddenly spoke.

"Nicole, believe it or not, I didn't lose that ring on purpose.”

Eric's face was pale and sunken.
