The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 285

Nicole felt an oncoming headache.

Before this, Nicole had always thought that Nathaniel was just a poor explorer.

Had she known that Nathaniel was Eric Ferguson's nephew, she would not have promised so blatantly that she would support him for the rest of her life.

'I can't afford to take care of this gentry!' Nicole thought.

Before Nicole could finish her sentence, Kai interrupted her. "Is the Ferguson family trying to blackmail us? Just state your price then. It's not like w e can't afford this money!"

'It's merely $15 billion! Only those pirates who haven't seen the world think it's so much anyway.’

Kai then looked at Nathaniel and frowned. "Where do you get the cheek to cling onto our family, huh?

Feeding you is just a waste of resources! Get lost!"

Nathaniel did not mind Kai’s attitude. Instead, he smiled politely at Kai. "Third Brother... I'm young, strong, and obedient. I swear it's not a waste of resources to help me. What's more, I can support myself too. All I want is to be with Nikki forever..."

After those words fell, Kai could instantly feel the drop in temperature in the room. It was inexplicably cold.

When Kai turned around, he saw Eric's dark and sullen face.

Kai laughed coldly. “Don't even think about it! Stop dreaming in broad daylight!"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Nicole helplessly interrupted them.

"K, stop. I did promise Niel before this."

Nathaniel beamed as his eyes lit up.

"However, that was before I knew of your identity. Since you hid the truth from me, whatever I promised you will be greatly discounted."

Nicole saw Nathaniel's eyes dim in an instant. He looked so lost.

Thinking about what Eric just said about Nathaniel being kicked out of the Ferguson family, Nicole thought that Nathaniel probably had a hard time.

"How about this... Mr. Ferguson, I'll get my brother to pay you back twice as much for all that you've paid for during this time, including manpower and the ransom.

This, of course, included Nathaniel's share.

Nicole raised her eyes and looked at Eric. This was the best way she could think of to thank him.

She would pay for his services so they would not owe each other anything.

After she proposed this, Eric’s face became even more sullen and depressed.

Eric stared at her with his dark eyes that were overflowing with such complex emotions, but he suppressed them with all his might.

He tried hard to calm himself down.

The silence and atmosphere in this room became somewhat bizarre.

Nicole pursed her lips and thought, 'Perhaps this isn't enough for him?’
