Chapter 41 He Old It on Purpose

The lights flickered.

Nicole gently shook the glass of wine and

stood in front of the railing on the second

floor. She watched the pretentious

exchange of pleasantries of the people

below.

Eric, who was walking over not far away,

looked up at that instant and suddenly

met Nicole’s clear and cold gaze,

Nicole faintly retracted her gaze and

ignored the discomfort in her heart.

That kiss on the dance floor earlier made the

crowd gasp. No one cared which of them

actually made the wrong move at the end

of the dance. They were just waiting for a

good show to happen between the ex

couple.

Any reactlon on either of them would

to endless speculation.

Thus, at the moment their lips touched.

Nicole instantly turned her face to the

side. Fortunately, the music stopped and

she drew back in time. She glanced coldly

at Eric and turned away without looking

back. Keith was joking with several people

around Eric. After sending them away, he

let out a sigh of relief and looked at Eric.

who had a cold and noble temperament.

Keith frowned when he remembered the

scene earlier and subconsciously blurted

out. “You did that on purpose during the

dance, right?‘ Others might not be able to tell, but he

knew that Nicole’s beat was on point. The

problem was with Eric.

Eric grew up in the gentry circle and received elite education on all sorts of social etiquette. How could

he be slow to react during the dance’ ‘Could it be intentional?‘ Keith thought. Eric’s dark eyes swept

over Keith His face was taut as he said, “No ”

“That’s good Don’t even think about that woman I think I lost my mind to think so That woman must’ve

done it on purpose Hmph! She surely is good at scheming” Of course, Keith believed his best friend’s

words unconditionally. Thus, those seeds of doubt disappeared l n an instant The second floor of the

banquet hall Grant was networking elsewhere while Nicole felt bored and looked around

Suddenly, she saw someone waving at her from the doorway. The corners of her lips curved up into a

smile as she waved back in response Ian Carter soon arrived i n front of her “Carter, you’re late…” Ian

leaned nonchalantly on the railing looking relaxed and unrestrained. “Well, I

come whenever I want to. if l hadn’t

heard that you were here too, I wouldn’t

have bothered to attend such an event.”

“Don’t even. I know that your lather forced you to come.” Nicole rolled her eyes at him lan was not the

least bit embarrassed after getting exposed by Nicole He lust grinned and sand, “My purpose rs always

you.” Nicole wanted to say something when

she inadvertently saw the people walking towards her Her face sank unhappily.

‘Nicole, are you shameless? You’re already divorced from my brother, yet you still try to seduce him?

Do you still want t o marry into our famrly? I’ll tell you now that our family will never accept a woman

like you! ‘Urgh, what kind of sh*tty luck do I have tonight?

Everyone I hate just keeps popping up… Ingrid came over with her groupies trying to show me who’s

boss?’ Nicole thought. Nicole had been in the limelight today, especially after that kiss. Everyone began

to speculate about the ‘reunion of the

century‘ of this rich ex-couple.

‘Remarriage? Nicole can dream on!‘ Ingrid

thought.

Ingrid Ferguson was more agitated than”:

anyone else. Ii it were not for her status a

s Young Lady Ferguson, she would have

jumped up and cursed at Nicole. ‘How is

this shameless lowly woman worthy? Her

dress should’ve been mine! This eyesore

stole my moment of glory! Stupid Nicole

took away all my attention!‘

Nicole swept a glance at Ingrid and the

few ladies behind her. Besides Ingrid, the

others did not look so hostile and were

probably dragged over as backup. ‘Ha! How childish” Nicole thought.

‘Yo, who’s this with the foul mouth?“ Ian

looked at Ingrid with a cold smile. Whoever dared to bully Nicole in front of

him was dead meat regardless of gender

Ingrid turned pale and fiercely glared at

Ian. “What does it have to do with you?

Are you her lover?‘ WIan was delighted. ‘Her lover? I like this

identity.’

Nicole suddenly felt a headache because

of the noise. She helplessly glanced at

Ian with a warning intent. ‘Shut it.“

Nicole suddenly felt a headache because

of the noise.

She helplessly glanced at

Ian with a warning intent. ‘Shut it.”

She then swept an indifferent glance at

Ingrid “Ms. Ferguson, what do you want?

Ingrid arrogantly lifted her chin and said.

Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to.

I know you kissed my brother on purpose

just now. Do you want my brother to fall

for you? Dream on!”
