The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 398

"Mr. Ferguson ordered me not to go upstairs and disturb them. Ms. Stanton is treating him coldly, but I think she’s faking it. She's just playing hard to get..."

The nanny, Lucy, deliberately lowered her voice.

"Click-" The kitchen suddenly lit up.

Lucy stood up in shock and dropped the phone to the ground in a panic.

At the moment the screen dimmed, Nicole saw the name on it.

Madam Ferguson.

'So... She's on the phone with Quinn...' Nicole thought.

Lucy shuddered and looked at Nicole with panic in her eyes, stumbling over her words.

"M-Ms. Nicole, w-what are you doing here?"

Nicole swept her an indifferent glance. Her eyes were dark and sunken without a trace of warmth.

She went over to take the carton of milk, poured it into a glass, and left.

Lucy picked up the phone with trembling hands and suddenly felt a little flustered when she looked at Nicole’s back.

Nicole went upstairs while drinking the milk. She had already finished the glass by the time she reached the door of the study.

That scene earlier really made her feel sick to her stomach.

That was because it was not the first time she encountered this. Back then, Lucy was arranged to work here as a spy for Quinn, watching Nicole's every move and making sure that Nicole did her chores.

The shirts that Eric never wore had to be ironed. The cleanliness of the house had to be taken care of by her personally. Even the meals they ate every day had to b e made according to fixed recipes.

Lucy was the one who watched and reaped the fruits o f Nicole's labor.

'Even today, Quinn still wants to control my every move? Old habits die hard!' Nicole thought.

When Nicole returned to the study, she was not as quiet as before and even slammed the door.

Eric, who was sitting on the tatami, suddenly opened his eyes.

Nicole walked over coldly. "Do you want to go to bed?"

It was clear that she was in a bad mood after she went out.

Eric looked up and rubbed his eyes. He spoke in a hoarse and deep voice.

"How did I fall asleep... You must be tired. Go ahead

and rest. Mitchell will send me some documents later.”
