The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 25

Although they were from different circles, the high society of Atlanta was small, so everyone would more o r less cross paths with each other. Thus, Keith Ludwig and Ian Carter knew each other.

When Ian saw Keith, he naturally saw Eric Ferguson a s well. Ian tipped his glass as a gesture. "What a coincidence, Mr. Ludwig."

Keith saw that Nicole and Yvette were sitting with Ian, so he figured that they were here together. Keith turned and pulled Eric to sit at their table. "Let's play a game together. You won't mind, right, Mr. Carter?"

Ian did not answer and turned to look at Nicole. "My queen, do you mind?”

Nicole stood up insouciantly. "Help yourselves, I'm going downstairs to watch the band."

Yvette immediately followed suit. "Let's go! It's so suffocating sharing the same space with such pests."

Julie took three bottles of fine wine and said, "I’m coming too!"

Eric watched as Nicole disappeared down the stairs before he withdrew his gaze and glanced at Ian. "Mr. Carter, what's your relationship with Nicole?"

Ian tilted his head and chuckled. "A friend." "How can her kind be friends with you? Mr. Carter, don’t be fooled by her..." Before Keith could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Eric.

"Keith..."

Ian's gaze grew cold as he looked at Keith. "And what kind is she? Mr. Ludwig, do you know her very well?"

"I...” Keith was rendered speechless. Eric did not come to his rescue, so he felt annoyed because he could not tell Ian about all the despicable things Nicole did.

The loud music downstairs ignited the atmosphere in the bar.

A familiar song from "The Lunatics" resurfaced after three years, immediately arousing the enthusiasm and passion of the crowd. Everyone cheered, swayed, and looked up at the people on stage.

Keith sighed in disbelief. "Didn't The Lunatics retire? Why are they here? I heard that The Lunatics even rejected an eight-figure offer to perform in a private show, but they came to this bar?" 1

There were three people in this band, but only two showed up. However, these two were already enough t o incite the crowd’s excitement and passion as they controlled the energy of the venue.

Yvette was screaming and shouting at the bottom of the stage and did not notice that Julie had already brought Nicole backstage.
