The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 235

Ian Carter anxiously came out from the side and sighed with relief when he saw Nicole.

"I thought you'd been kidnapped, but now that I think about it, you're the one who kidnaps others instead...”

'Stop mentioning Eric Ferguson!' Nicole quickly adjusted her mood and went downstairs as if nothing had happened.

The heaviness in her heart was not the slightest bit alleviated.

Nicole rolled her eyes at Ian's words with an expressionless face.

She walked downstairs in her high heels, looking elegant and refined.

Lydia quickly ran after Nicole and bit her lower lip. When she saw Nicole's unpleasant expression, she mustered the courage to ask, "Nicole, is... Mr. Ferguson alright?"

Nicole's lips curled as she cast a sidelong glance at Lydia.

She saw through Lydia's thoughts at once.

If Lydia was frank and open about her intentions, Nicole would have admired her ambition.

However, the way Lydia acted like a timid but scheming b*tch really was truly disdainful.

Nicole lifted her chin.

The coldness on her face was startling.

She pointed upstairs to the room she had just come out of.

"If you want to know so badly, you can go inside and check..."

Even if Nicole hated Eric Ferguson, there would still b e people who flocked to him.

However, Nicole was no longer the person she was three years ago.

Now, she could hide her heart flawlessly.

Lydia looked embarrassed.

"T-There’s no need..."

Ian frowned as he listened from the side.

He had been acquainted with the Stantons for so long, but he never heard of Nicole having a cousin like Lydia before.

Even if they were both ladies from the Stanton family, there was no need to be that secretive, right?

Thinking about it, he no longer bothered about Lydia.

Ian looked at Nicole expressionlessly. "Why is your cousin's last name Smith?"

If they were cousins, Lydia should be a Stanton like

Nicole, right?

Lydia’s expression stiffened as she took awkward glances at Nicole.

It was as if she was afraid of what Nicole would say.

However, Nicole did not even look at her and explained, "Her mother is with my second uncle."

She could not be bothered to say anything more.
