Chapter 1400 Unreconciled

There seemed to be no noise around. The person in front of Nicole stared at her with dim eyes.

Nicole’s gaze was extremely calm and cold. She could feel Eric’s change. However, it just did not have

any effect on her anymore. Just looking at Eric and thinking about the past made her sad. Now, there

was someone in her life who could make her laugh. Nicole yearned for happiness even more.

She pondered for a few seconds before speaking in a light tone. “ I have a boyfriend now, you know

that. Even if I didn’t, I will never go back to you.” Eric was silent for a moment before sneering. “ I know.

It’s just a boyfriend. You can get divorced after marriage, let alone if you’re not married yet. Other

people still have a chance, right?” Nicole frowned. Just as she was about to say something, she

suddenly heard Julie’ s voice from the side. “Nicole…” Nicole looked over, and Julie waved at her. It

seemed like it was something urgent. She immediately stood up.

“Excuse me.” Nicole did not want to continue with this topic anyway. Eric did not stop her. He just

picked up the glass of wine on the table and gently took a sip. The side of his face was cold, and his

gaze was dark. Nicole walked over. “You just arrived?” Julie nodded. “Yvette will bring her boyfriend

along later, so I’m the only single one. I didn’t expect to see you chatting with Mr. Ferguson.

What, has he still not given up yet?” Nicole smiled indifferently. “People always want the things they

can’ t obtain the most. Who would believe it if he said that he was wholehearted and sincere?” Julie

heard the cold words and was stunned.

“You really…” She instantly felt a little heartache for Eric. Nicole always used reason to look at people

she did not care about, so she could objectively speculate on the dark state of Eric’s mind to comfort

her determination to leave.

However, everyone knew that in this game of divorce, the most wounded person was Mr. Ferguson.

Nevertheless, Julie did not say anything. She knew that Nicole and Clayton hit it off and naturally

hoped that their relationship would only get better.

“By the way, I heard that a special guest is coming today.” Julie leaned in and spoke. Nicole turned her

head. “What special guest?” Julie pursed her lips and shook her head. “Mrs. Carter’s sister was

bragging earlier that her son Rley is coming back from abroad…” Nicole smiled. “That trust fund kid?”

Riley was Ian ‘s cousin who did not even graduate from high school because of a fight that left him with

a criminal record.

He was forced to study abroad after being expelled, but he was expelled from the school abroad after

two years as well. However, he still mingled in the elite circles abroad. It was probably by relying on the

Carter family’s reputation. The Carter family’s prestige being lowered was mostly thanks to the credit of

Mrs. Carter’s younger sister, Claire. The other half was because of Claire’s son, Rley.

Although Ian was not much of a genius when it came to business, his character and personality had

always been loved. Riley was different. He had such a nasty energy in his bones. He bullied girls, had

no respect for others, and was just a shameful bum. When he caused trouble in school in the past,

Claire had stopped him.

However, there was once where he bullied a young girl that did not have a good family background. He

took naked pictures of her and blackmailed her not to say anything. Not long after, the girl became

pregnant and went to him, but he refused to acknowledge her. The girl’s family reported it to the police,

and when the police went to find him, Claire tried to use money to solve the problem. Just when the two

sides were about to negotiate a settlement, Rley ran over to humiliate the girl, who took things too hard

and jumped down from the school rooftop. Two lives were lost in one body.
