The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2231

Eric frowned, and his expression darkened.

“Nicole, believe me. I really saw him stalking you.”

Nicole’s face turned glum. She glanced at Jeff apologetically and turned to leave.

She walked toward Zuthi Camus because she suddenly felt that whatever Zuthi said was better than what Eric had to say.

Eric was insane!

Jeff glanced at Nicole’s back and calmly withdrew his eyes.

He turned to look at Eric coldly and said in a deadpan voice, “Although I have no obligation to explain to you why I was there, I’ll just tell you since you’re curious about it. I was waiting for someone there, and my friend came to pick me up. After that, I got into his car and left. I didn’t even see you or Ms. Stanton. But Mr. Ferguson, why did you pay attention to me? Do you regard any passerby as a vagrant?”

Eric’s face darkened, and he was about to say something, but Sebastian coughed from the side.

“Okay, okay… It’s all a misunderstanding. Let’s not continue this now. Since you two don’t have any grudges, there’s no need to pursue this further, right? Ms. Stanton is already in a difficult position. Mr. Ferguson, can’t you see it?”

Eric’s expression changed slightly when Sebastian reminded him.

He was only on guard against other people and did not notice the annoyed look on Nicole’s face when she left.

As he thought of this, he pursed his lips and said, “I apologize for jumping to a conclusion, but I hope I was wrong.”

After Eric finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief and went to push Jeff’s wheelchair, but he could not move it.

It just occurred to him that Jeff’s wheelchair was unique, and that Jeff could control it by himself without the help of others.

“Don’t let that affect your mood, Jeff. I’m glad you came today.”

Jeff nodded. “You can do your thing. Is the reception about to start?”

“Yes, it’ll start soon.”

Then, Sebastian walked to the center of the stage and looked at everyone with a bright expression.

“Everyone, the highlight of our event is coming soon. It’s why I invited everyone to come this time. I’ll bring you to visit my achievement soon, and we can talk about the details later.”

Everyone’s attention was attracted to the stage.

Nicole looked sideways and felt a little better.

Zuthi came over from another group and happily walked up to Nicole.

He said with a smile, “Ms. Stanton, does Eric Ferguson like you?”

Nicole’s eyelids twitched because she was annoyed.

“No.”

“No? I can see it. Since he came here, he hasn’t taken his eyes off of you. He doesn’t socialize with others, and I can tell that you’re very important to him.”

Zuthi was joking meaningfully while Nicole suppressed the annoyance in her heart. She said indifferently, “Liking and stalking are two different things. Mr. Camus, you shouldn’t pay too much attention to these things.”

“Okay, okay.”

Zuthi smiled and clicked his tongue.

“But that man in the wheelchair seems to like you too. He’s been sneaking glances at you!”

Nicole was slightly stunned.

Finally, she could not help but glare at Zuthi.

Zuthi thought about it seriously and sighed.

“I think if you have to choose between them, you should choose Mr. Ferguson. At least he’s rich and healthy. That man who is sitting in a wheelchair looks like he won’t live long, so you should forget it.”

Zuthi muttered, but these words pierced into Nicole’s heart like a thorn.

She did not know which word made her feel the pain.

‘Looks like he won’t live long…’ Nicole thought.

She knew she should not have such a strong reaction toward a stranger.

However, when she heard someone say that about him, she felt inexplicably upset.

Nicole put down the things in her hands, turned around with a calm face, and walked in Sebastian’s direction.
