The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 243

The surrounding atmosphere was instantly frozen. The cold was bone-chilling, and it was so quiet that no one dared to breathe loudly.

Eric’s cold eyes turned to Nicole with a hint of surprise.

Nicole met his gaze carelessly.

When their gaze collided, he saw a deep distrust in her eyes.

His heartbeat faltered as if he had been stabbed.

"You think that I instructed Chloe Snyder to do this?"

Eric narrowed his eyes sharply.

Nicole did not make a sound and simply gave him a cold smile.

Her silence said everything.

To the side, Keith could not help but shiver as bursts o f chilling air surrounded him. 'What's going on?'

"Why else would you be standing here right now?"

After Nicole spoke, the air seemed to grow even colder.

Keith hurriedly went up to explain. "You’ve misunderstood us. This has nothing to do with Eric! When we were leaving, Eric wanted to look for you because he had something to say. We couldn't find you anywhere, then the doorman told us that you came this way, so we hurried over..."

He gave Mitchell a look, and Mitchell immediately nodded. "Yes, Ms. Stanton. That's what happened."

Nicole lowered her eyes slightly as if she was thinking about the credibility of their words.

Keith quickly added, "You both used to be married, so no matter what, there's still lingering feelings. How would Eric bear to hurt you? When he heard the noise here, he was afraid that you'd be in danger and rushed here to save you without hesitation. How could you doubt that he was plotting something against you?"

Keith did not notice that his tone carried a hint of resentment and complaint.

He felt frustrated for Eric!

'Lingering feelings?' Nicole looked at Eric meaningfully.

They did not have a real marriage, so naturally, there were no lingering feelings to speak of.

Nicole sneered softly.

"In that case, I'll have to thank you, huh?"

She had almost finished cleaning up these guys, so what did he come here for?

Did they think that she would believe them because of Keith's words?
