The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 68

Nicole glanced at Logan, who also looked surprised, which meant that he was also unaware of Eric

Ferguson’s attendance.

The two of them looked at each other. Nicole then walked in with a smile as she looked at Gerard Lichman. She spoke casually. "Is this a set-up?"

Gerard shrugged his shoulders. He looked at Eric, then at Nicole.

"Vice President Nicole, I had no choice. Please forgive me for being presumptuous. Let me just clarify that I will remain neutral and will never interfere in the matters between you both. To express my sincere apology, when you’re done talking, I'll bring you to visit our newly established research lab. I'm sure you'll be very interested in it."

'Interested? Indeed.' Nicole thought.

However, she still felt annoyed that she had been deceived.

Nicole expressionlessly retracted her gaze and looked at Eric with a slight frown. "Mr. Ferguson, if this is because of that pipe, there’s no need to waste your breath." 'Will they ever stop pestering me? My time is very precious, alright?'

"Nicole." Eric looked at her with deep eyes. After a pause, he continued, "I know that my grandfather went to see you today and said a lot of unpleasant things. Don’t take it to heart."

He knew that Nicole did not care for his apology and that it was futile. A simple "sorry" could not wipe away all that he owed her in the past three years.

Nicole lifted her eyes and thought that it was strange because Eric seemed a little weird today.

"Is that all?" She was getting impatient.

Eric was silent for a second before he spoke again. " That tobacco pipe is useless to you. If you were just deliberately trying to anger them, you've already succeeded. After your anger has subsided, please return it to my grandfather. As I mentioned before, you can state whatever conditions you like."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Nicole hooked her lips.

'Hah! When other methods didn't work, he decides to g o down the emotional route? His purpose is to get back the emerald pipe. It looks like that stupid pipe is really important to them...'

Gerard could not help but crack a joke to break the silence.

"Whatever conditions? If she wants to get back together with you, are you willing to do so?"

The other three people in the room were stunned, and

Logan could not help but subconsciously look at Eric.

Eric's eyes sank and he frowned slightly. The atmosphere was silent and still.

Just when Gerard regretted saying this, Nicole let out a light laugh. Her voice was clear, cold, and indifferent.
