The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2031

Nicole was still in Erethea when she received the invitation to this auction.

Grant wanted to make her happy, so he asked her to participate in such activities more often.

Although she did not have an extra invitation, she did not need one to enter and only needed to show her face.

Thus, Nicole gave Luke the invitation as soon as she got home.

A few days later, the auction went ahead as scheduled.

Nicole and Clayton went together. She wore a beige dress that made her look like an effortless beauty. Her waist also looked very slim in the dress.

The highlight of this dress was that it was backless, which showed off Nicole's beautiful and delicate back.

Many guests who attended went to greet Nicole, and Nicole nodded in response.

Meanwhile, Clayton had been standing behind Nicole and did not even take one step away from her.

Clayton was deliberately trying to block others from seeing Nicole's bare back.

If he had known that Nicole wore such a sexy and beautiful dress, he would have participated in her hobby of selecting clothes.

However, by the time Clayton sent Chatty over to the Stanton Mansion, Nicole had already arrived ahead of schedule.

Fortunately, Nicole also wore a translucent tulle shawl that created beautiful patterns under the moonlight or gentle light. It matched her outfit very well.

The jewelry auction was the last on the agenda, and the banquet was brought forward.

Nicole looked around and spotted Luke Youngblood.

She breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was someone who would grab onto opportunities.

Nicole was right about him.

Clayton said a few words to the person opposite him, and Nicole walked over with a glass of wine.

The person opposite Luke was someone that Nicole knew from the same industry, so it was appropriate for Nicole to greet them.

However, Nicole did not notice that Eric was standing behind the thick pillar where they were talking.

Hearing their conversation, Nicole paused in her footsteps.

"I’m very interested in your company, Mr. Youngblood. If Ferguson Corporation can invest in your company, the Hannover Project can be done jointly."

Nicole was taken aback ?a$;TLQ; could not help but roll her eyes as she thought, 'Is this b*stard Eric trying to poach my guy?!’

Luke smiled and politely declined. He was sensible and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ferguson. But Z Technologies has already been acquired, and I'm not the actual controlling shareholder." "Oh? Why don’t you bring your team and join J&L Corporation then?”

Luke replied, "Z Technologies is the hard work of our team, and we treat it like our child. What kind of parent could abandon their child?"

Eric’s face turned glum, and he did not continue to speak.

He just turned around and left.

Luke thought that it was strange. "What did I say wrong?”

The person on the opposite side smiled and eased the situation.

"It's such a good opportunity, yet you rejected Eric. So, of course, he'll show his temper.”

That person thought, "Wasn't what you said earlier meant to target Eric?'

Luke smiled, shook his head, and sighed.

"It's tough, but I can't help it."

If Nicole knew that he betrayed her, she would probably find someone to kill him.

The person on the other side was a little shocked when they saw Nicole approaching and hurriedly greeted her with a smile.

"Ms. Stanton, long time no see..."

Luke's eyelids also jumped. He looked at Nicole and thought to himself, ‘I didn't do anything wrong earlier, did I?'

Nicole glanced at Luke and then at Tina.

"It's been a long time indeed."

Although the two of them were not familiar with each other, they used to play poker together.

Tina took her arm affectionately.

"It’s been a long time since you came out to have fun. It’s boring without you!"

Nicole smiled. She actually admired Tina.

It was obvious that Tina and her husband had a very unhappy marriage, but when they attended events in public, they were united.

Tina would act like she was still in the honeymoon phase and completely forgot about all of the mistresses that her husband kept.

"Let’s get together for a game next time!"
