The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 775

The dim light in the study did not have a trace of warmth at this time.

The floor was a mess, and a chill permeated in the air.

Eric stood there with his back against the light. His whole body was immersed in darkness.

His cold and handsome face was half-lit. His dark eyes were as sharp as a blade as he tried to suppress the coldness in them.

Eric truly regretted being soft-hearted and not taking back all of Old Master Ferguson's power in the beginning.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

His voice was deep, rough, and hoarse. Eric gritted his teeth as he looked at Old Master Ferguson.

Old Master Ferguson looked at Eric and sneered.

He laughed at Eric's kind-heartedness. Eric was still too young.

"How can those little tactics work against Clayton Sloan? I'm just adding fuel to the fire so that he would burn more thoroughly."

If Eric had not made the first move, Old Master Ferguson would not have been able to get the opportunity to do this.

Old Master Ferguson glanced at him.

"Don’t you hate him for saving Nicole and for being close to the Stanton family? You had the right idea. Public opinion kills, and you can get away with it completely. That way, the Stanton family will dislike the infamous Clayton, then you'll have a chance.”

Eric only felt a shortness of breath.

His eyes were frigid, and his tone was austere.

"I stopped where I was because I was afraid of implicating Nicole in this. You got someone to expose Clayton's details so recklessly and dragged Nicole into it. Now, the netizens are all talking about Nicole. Is this what you want?"

Old Master Ferguson smiled calmly.

"Those who achieve great things won’t bother about trivial matters. No one online is optimistic about Nicole and Clayton being together. The Stanton family will only clarify their relationship in order to save their reputation. A notorious man with a child versus a n ex-husband with deep feelings. As long as they’re not blind, they'll be on your side."
