The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 37

After that, Eric Ferguson stood up and left, leaving the pale-faced Colton White behind.

Keith Ludwig chased after Eric. 'This must be related t o Nicole again. That woman’s really troublesome.'

"Ferg, why do you look so upset? We're all bros. You know that Colton's always been straightforward. Don't take whatever he said to heart."

Eric also knew that he had overreacted and did not expect to have lost control of his emotions like that. It was just that when he found out about these things that he should have known but was kept in the dark, his only thought was, 'Is this why Nicole hates me?'

His chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable.

He stood at the entrance for a while. After getting blown by the cold wind, his mind felt much clearer. H e took out a cigarette and lit it. "I know. You can tell him that it's not directed at him."

'I'm just mad at myself!’ Eric thought.

Keith breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, but you’re not longing for that woman, right?"

Eric cast a sidelong glance at him and snorted. He was not bothered to answer Keith's curiosity. "Your restaurant can't compare with this new restaurant. M y advice is for you to close your business..."

Keith's face reddened with anger. "Are you even my bro?!”

J&L Corporation invited many socialites, businessmen, and politicians to their anniversary banquet. Everyone who attended the banquet was an elite.

Nicole had done her research. J&L Corporation was a relatively new company that did not have much backing, so it was not an easy feat to achieve such a reputation and develop to this scale in a few short years.

J&L Corporation’s R&D focus was to integrate technology and artificial intelligence into regular life. They had already mastered core technologies that were beyond the reach of many countries.

Nicole thought, 'If I can land this artificial intelligence project, Stanton Corporation will be able to become a pioneer in this new field.”

Thus, Nicole came prepared this time.

Everyone was in the hall exchanging pleasantries when there was a sudden cry of surprise. The crowd looked towards the sound and saw a couple standing a t the entrance of the banquet hall.

They were all familiar with the man - Grant Stanton of Stanton Corporation. He was ruthless, decisive, and feared by many.

The woman beside him had on exquisite makeup that highlighted her stunning features. Her long wavy hair was pinned back. Under her gentle appearance was a hidden majesty.

She wore a hand-stitched bespoke dress inlaid with diamond bits that accentuated her slender waist. Her dress glittered when she stood under the light, which made her shine so brightly. Her elegant demeanor and extraordinary temperament made the crowd marvel a t her presence.
