The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 1956

Eric was silent for a moment as certain emotions surged in his eyes.

"I'm sorry..."

"Who was that man just now?"

Nicole asked.

She had to be wary of those who wanted to get back at her.

Eric closed his eyes.

"You don't need to know. He can't touch you."

Nicole chuckled.

"Eric Ferguson, I can't believe that you're working with such a person. How could you do such a thing?"

That person could even be called a scum. He might have something to do with an international criminal organization.

How could Eric work with this group of people?

Were they business partners?

Eric smiled. His face was pale.

"It looks like your impression of me isn't so bad after all, huh?"

Nicole was dumbfounded and turned to leave.

Eric paused. His throat moved, and his voice was rough.

"Clayton isn't in the country, right? Where did he go?"

"Thanks for your concern."

Nicole's voice was cold.

Although Nicole heard about the Ferguson family's situation from Floyd, she did not believe that Eric had no other way to rescue Quinn and Ingrid.

That man was the omnipotent Eric Ferguson.

He could even turn the situation around with Angie, the arms dealer's daughter.

What more so now?

Could it be that someone threatened to take Quinn's and Ingrid's lives?

Right. After all, they were blood-related, so Eric would be more concerned, unlike when it was Nicole's life that was threatened.

Nicole shook her head and did not want to think about it any longer. She did not recall that nightmare in a long time.

Eric's voice was cold with a hint of forbearance.

"I don't want you to get hurt, Nicole.

Clayton isn't the one for you. Do you really think he’s just a regular businessman when he's abroad?"

Nicole stopped walking.

Eric never had anything good to say about Clayton.

She suddenly felt annoyed.

Why did Eric slander Clayton?

Eric wanted to accuse Clayton with just a few words?

"What are you trying to say? Eric Ferguson, take care of your own affairs. I don't need an outsider to tell me who Clayton is!"

Nicole's voice was extremely cold ?h’>SNS? detached. She then left in a huff.

Eric raised his voice slightly.

"His project in South Africa is facing a big problem. He colluded with foreign arms dealers and fled somewhere. The military project that was awarded to your family relied on his core technology laboratory in South Africa. Aren't you afraid of being dragged into his mess?"

Eric’s words were like ice cubes that were raining down on Nicole's head. It made her cold and frightened for a moment.

Nicole stood there to digest what he said for a few seconds, and panic gradually rose in her heart.

Her eyes were cold and heartless. "You're lying."

It was mostly because of Clayton that the Stanton family got the military project.

This was only known to Nicole later.

Of course, Nicole had no worries about cooperating with Clayton.

No matter what interests were involved, Clayton has never harmed her.

How could she believe that Clayton would collude with foreign arms dealers to drag down the Stanton family?

No, it was impossible!

Eric's stern and quiet face carried a strange pallor.

"Is that so? Am I lying, or are you lying to yourself?"

He gradually approached her, and his eyes were fixed on Nicole's face.

Eric had a hard time lately, but he never forgot Nicole for a moment.

Her peaceful life had no trace of him, and to him, every moment was tormenting.

"He’s a viper! Why can't you believe it?"

Eric gritted his teeth. His aura was somewhat intimidating.
