The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2225

If Nicole knew this would happen, she would probably still choose to be with Clayton.

She had never regretted her decision to be with Clayton back then.

On the contrary, she regretted her three years of marriage with Eric countless times.

However, she was never sad every minute she was with Clayton.

All he brought her was endless joy and happiness, and she had long been addicted to it.

She re-edited that sentence.

[If I’d known this would happen, I would’ve been with you sooner…]

After the message was sent successfully, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was as if a burden had been lifted.

She found an answer for herself.

It was just too bad that he could not see it.

Nicole did not fix his phone and only left it in the Stanton Mansion, so no one would receive her messages.

However, she knew that someone would know her secret.

Nicole lay on the bed with her eyes open. She looked stunning and fragile, like a flower that was about to wither.

At the same time, Eric listened to his subordinate’s report with a cold expression on his face.

“You couldn’t find him? How could it be?! He’s a cripple in black clothes that’s around 50 to 60 years old. He wore a hat and a mask and obviously looked like he had bad intentions. Have you searched all the vagrants nearby?”

The subordinate nodded.

“We did, but we didn’t find the person you described or anyone like him. According to your description, if he was a cripple, he wouldn’t have gone too far, and someone around would’ve seen him. But I went to the shops on both sides of the street to ask around, and they insisted that they had never seen this person.”

Eric’s face was dark and gloomy as if he did not believe this at all.

“What about the surveillance cameras? This is a big city, so they must have surveillance, right?”

The subordinate’s face changed slightly.

“No, the surveillance system at the location you mentioned was hacked a few days ago. The police here are laid back and don’t pay attention to these things, so they just let it be. There’s no trace of this man in other cameras either. Mr. Ferguson, were you perhaps mistaken?”

Eric’s face turned cold instantly.

“Are you saying that I’m blind?”

His subordinates immediately lowered their heads. “No, sir.”

Eric gritted his teeth, and his voice was extremely cold.

“I don’t believe someone can disappear in plain sight. I must find this person! I can’t let Nicole be in any more danger. Go to all the places Nicole has been to today and check the surveillance footage. If that person wanted to stalk Nicole, then he must’ve appeared in other places as well.”

The subordinates were a little surprised at Eric making this a big deal.

It might just be a vagrant passing by.

However, they did not dare to disobey Eric’s order, so they could only nod and oblige.

“Yes, Mr. Ferguson.”

Eric waved them away.

His face was extremely gloomy.

Eric had a vague intuition that the stranger’s back was familiar.

It was a familiar hostility that made him feel that the man had bad intentions.

Eric had missed his opportunities with Nicole many times.

This time, no matter what the danger was, Eric wanted to stand in front of her to protect her.

……

The night sky was as dark as ink.

In the dark, a man looked at the countless lines of code on the computer and tapped on the keyboard quickly.

Soon, a familiar page quietly appeared again.

It was a list of familiar contacts.

Next to that familiar profile picture was a red dot with countless unread messages.

He had been afraid to read them, but today, he finally could not restrain himself.

He wanted to talk to her, hug her, and kiss her, but he could not.

Thus, he could only look at those good memories from the past.

When he opened it, he found that they were all messages that Nicole sent to him.

Sometimes, it was about the little things in life.

Sometimes, it was just a few words.
