The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 361

Eric was silent for a long time. His gaze was bitter, and his heart felt like it was clenched, so much so that it was difficult to breathe.

While Nicole was married to him, she did not get any semblance of the respect she deserved.

Every time he thought of this, he felt suffocated.

Nicole no longer cared about the insignificant past because she knew that those three years were just wishful thinking on her part. It was her lone courage that pushed her through those tough times.

Since it was the past, she just wanted it to disappear.

"Nicole..." Eric stared at her. His eyes were deep and astringent. Seeing how insouciant she was when she spoke, Eric felt a little breathless.

He clenched his fists and spoke with difficulty. "It won't happen again in the future."

Eric promised to prioritize her first and coddle her. He would not dare to neglect her again.

Nicole just smiled without any emotion.

There would be no future to speak of between them.

She had clarity now and would never again have eyes for him.

Nicole picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

"Get to the point."

After all, the purpose of her coming here was not to listen to him get sappy about the past.

Eric lowered his eyes and frowned slightly. He only lowered his head for a moment to regain his composure.

He smiled and slowly said, "The reason why Christian Jenner is so confident is that he has a connection."

Eric raised his head and looked at Nicole. "Clayton Sloan's butler."

Nicole frowned in surprise. "Butler?"

Eric nodded. "Although he’s just a butler, he has Clayton Sloan’s trust. Sometimes, the butler’s words can sway Clayton Sloan’s decision."

"Is..."

'Is Clayton Sloan his puppet?’ Nicole wondered.

She wanted to say something, but Eric smiled and continued to speak.

"This butler would usually come to Mediania on Clayton's behalf. He would always meet with Christian Jenner during his time here because Christian’s birth mother is the butler's adopted mother.”

Nicole looked up in shock. 'There's such a relationship?!’

No wonder Christian Jenner dared to bet on his entire family fortune for his son, Xion, to get this opportunity.

If this butler was truly that valued by Clayton Sloan, then the Jenners would surely land this cooperation.
