The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2240

Eric was livid, and his face was as cold as ice.

He was even cold toward Kai.

It turned out that Nicole and Chatty were not the only ones in the Stanton family who were deceiving themselves.

The others were too!

How ridiculous!

“Mr. Stanton, did I say something wrong? Fine, let’s put this matter aside. I’m just afraid that a stranger will hurt her, so shouldn’t I help her?”

Eric’s tone was cold and rigid as he restrained the anger in his heart.

Kai frowned and glanced at the person in the wheelchair with a flash of sympathy.

However, he did not pay too much attention to him and only glanced at Roland.

“Someone’s with Chatty, so you’re a bit too concerned, Mr. Ferguson.”

Roland quickly said, “Yes, I’ve been with the Young Miss. She recognized the wrong person and insisted on being with this gentleman. This gentleman didn’t do anything and only wanted to coax the Young Miss…”

Eric’s eyes were stern as he glanced at Roland unkindly.

Kai nodded with understanding. His eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled.

“Mr. Ferguson, since Chatty was the one who ran to him, she’ll naturally leave when she’s coaxed properly. You don’t have to scare her into tears. Chatty usually doesn’t like to cry!”

Eric said, “I...”

“Mr. Ferguson, we appreciate your kindness, but you can’t deliberately create danger when there’s no risk. Chatty is a sensible child, so don’t look down on her.”

Kai took a step forward.

He leaned closer to Eric, patted his shoulder, and said in a low voice, “Mr. Ferguson, I know you want to use Chatty to pursue my sister, but I suggest that you find another way. Don’t you know who brought her up? My brother-in-law brought her up with his own hands. He’s someone who would collect a strand of her hair as a souvenir when Chatty’s hair fell. Chatty knows who’s truly treating her well.”

Eric’s face was dark.

It could not be gloomier.

The moment his intentions were exposed, Eric panicked for a moment.

Kai acted in dramas for so many years, so he knew exactly how this would go.

How could Eric, who could not put up an act, be able to hide the truth from an actor like Kai?

Chatty was still crying hysterically.

Jeff patted her back lightly and subconsciously touched the back of her neck so that her crying gradually weakened.

Kai and the others did not notice this little detail.

Eric’s eyes darkened. He glanced at them and said with a cold expression, “Mr. Stanton, since you’re here, it’s naturally not my place to be nosy. I still have something to attend to, so I’ll get going.”

As he spoke, he took a deep look at Jeff.

Eric left with a chill in his eyes.

Eric thought, ‘I can’t compare to a dead person, but that doesn’t mean I can’t compare to a disabled person! I still have plenty of opportunities.’

After Eric left, Kai’s gaze deepened slightly.

Kai looked at Roland reproachfully.

“What’s going on? Chatty is crying, so why didn’t you ask Nicole to come over?”

Roland was also stunned.

He did not think of that for a while. Since Eric was there at the time, he only felt a sense of danger.

However, Kai just said it in passing and did not mean to make it difficult for Roland.

After all, Roland was not Chatty’s babysitter.

Kai smiled and looked at the sobbing Chatty before he looked at Jeff.

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Jeff Lieberman. I’m Canadian.”

As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, wanting to hand over Chatty to Kai.

Just as Kai was about to reach out to carry Chatty, she hugged Jeff’s neck tightly.

“Daddy, don’t leave me...”

She cried miserably, as her tears fell one by one. It broke everyone’s hearts to see her like this.
