The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2204

Chance was stunned by Fischer’s sudden remarks.

His expression was tense, and his gaze was uneasy as he looked at Chatty.

Although Chance was young, he remembered the past clearly because all his experiences were unpleasant.

That was his fate, and he had no strength to resist.

While he grew up, no one paid attention to his emotions.

That unforgettable birthday party was the day that Chatty was pushed into the water.

Chance would always remember that he and his mother were involved in it.

Compared to a mother who used him to hurt others, a father who only disliked and ignored him was considered a good outcome for Chance.

At least, his father did not make him do things he did not like.

His father just did not like him.

Chance stood there with apprehension and embarrassment.

The unhappy memories swarmed up.

He clenched his fists nervously and remained silent.

Fischer’s fair and tender face was full of disdain for Chance.

To them, Chance’s silence was his admission of guilt.

Thus, they did not want to be friends with Chance.

Nicole finished the phone call and went back to the car. When she saw that the door was still open, she went over to close the car door.

Then, she turned to look at Chance and smiled.

“Goodbye, Chance.”

Chance forced a smile and waved his hand.

Nicole stood upright, looked at Eric, who was not far away, and nodded.

“Goodbye, Mr. Ferguson. If Chance goes to the hospital for a check-up, you can contact my assistant to accompany him.”

She did not want this matter to drag on.

Eric nodded.

“Goodbye.”

His voice was low and hoarse. He still had a lot of follow-up activities, but judging from her call, it seemed that she had to go back to the office.

This was not the same as he expected.

Nicole did not seem to be hurt in any way because of what happened to Clayton.

She still looked so bright and glamorous. She never withered.

However, it seemed wrong.

If Nicole was so strong, how could he take advantage of the situation to get close to her?

Nicole asked Luca to send her back to the office before sending the children back to the Stanton Mansion.

The children were chattering at first, but they soon fell asleep.

They did not even wake up when Nicole got out of the car.

Nicole walked into the office building and saw a few departments working overtime. She felt sorry for them, so she asked Logan to order supper and drinks for everyone and went back to the office by herself.

Grant was really not joking with her.

He left the heavy and complicated work for Nicole.

In the past, Grant was the one who worked all-nighters for fear of exhausting Nicole.

This time, Grant wanted to take this opportunity to relax for a few days.

Two hours later, Nicole was too tired to lift her head.

She was tired and sleepy.

The office was quiet.

Logan sat on the sofa and worked overtime with her because he felt bored and scared outside. Thus, he stayed in Nicole’s office.

Nicole saw that she still had a big pile of work and sighed. She massaged her neck and said, “Logan, do you think my brother is still in the office?”

Logan paused. Then, he turned to Nicole and said, “He got off work long ago and left on time at 5:00 pm.”

Nicole was shocked.

No way!

Logan smiled. “He said that you have to finish these before you can go home.”

Nicole was silent. She suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of exhaustion.
