Chapter 44

Nicole sneered and looked at Ingrid

Ferguson with a cold gaze. She lowered

her eyelids slightly and said, “Ms.

Ferguson, are you trying to embarrass me

by bringing out this ugly past over and

over again? Mind you, I’m not

embarrassed. Your family should be

embarrassed for treating their daughter-in

-law like a maid.

I wonder who will ever

dare to marry into your family again…”

“Anyway, you’re not worthy of being a

Ferguson! Nicole, you were clearly trying t

o seduce my brother earlier. Aren’t you

gonna admit it?‘

Ingrid was adamant that Nicole was

deliberately seducing her brother with

that kiss earlier. ‘Nicole wants me to apologize?!

Ingrid was resentful and thought. ‘Why

can Nicole be so arrogant? Why didn’t my

brother back me up?’

“Ms. Ferguson, you actually think that I

want to seduce Mr. Ferguson?”

Nicole laughed lightly. She was never one

to beat around the bush and had always

gone straight to the point.

‘Seduce? I don’t think I’m cheap enough t

0 do this!’

That kiss at the end of the dance was

unexpected and shocking. It must have

planted seeds of doubt in the hearts of

the crowd. In everyone’s opinion, Nicole

must be the one who was seducing Eric

Ferguson.

Her eyes were clear and cold as she

swept a glance at Eric. The <=om’era*61fl§§ LLPs hooked up into a mocking smile. “Three years ago, I

was blind enough to marry Mr. Ferguson, but I’m certainly not s 0 blind as lo falls for Mr. Ferguson now.

Even if I seduce every man on earth, I won‘! ever look at Eric Ferguson again.“ Nicole did not want to

look back and relive that depressing and suffocating past again.

Nicole did not want to look back and relive that depressing and suffocating past again. Ingrid

shuddered from Nicole’s cold gaze. She felt that the current Nicole in front of her was a completely

different person from the submissive Nicole in her impression.

The wine glass that Nicole placed on the crystal table made a crisp clink and broke the awkward

silence. Nicole then turned around and went downstairs under the watchful gaze of the crowd. Ian

glared at

Ingrid and Erlc viciously before he quickly” followed after Nicole. The crowd looked at Eric, who stood

there with a glum lace. His gaze followed closely after NIcoIe’s departing back with an indecipherable

expression Keith stood on the side and felt shocked.

Seeing Eric’s attitude, it was clear that he felt heartbroken for that woman after knowing the truth. “Mr.

Lichman, I wanted to ask if this three- way cooperation of yours can be

expanded to four-way cooperation?“

Keith laughed as he pulled Gerard

Lichman over, trying to divert everyone’s

attention to other places.

After all, Eric Ferguson’s gossip was not

something that anyone could just watch

for entertainment.

Everyone also had the good sense to continue mingling and drinking in the banquet hall. Gerard

Lichman had a faint smile as he pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose bridge. “No.” Keith

said. “Can’t you be a little more euphemism?” Gerard hesitated for a while and replied, ” Sorry, it’s not

possible.”

Keith was speechless. ‘Forget it. I’d be better off talking to Eric…‘ Once he turned around. the man who

was standing there earlier had already disappeared. “Where did he go?” Keith muttered to himself.

Gerard faintly glanced at a certain

location downstairs before he smelled and left. At the same time, there were not many

people around in the lounge downstairs, so it was quiet

Ian pestered Nicole and was asking her

what happened before he arrived.

‘Did Eric Ferguson take advantage of

you? Why did Ingrid Ferguson say that

you seduced him?“

Nicole rolled her eyes at him. “No, it’s just

an accident.”

This could only be an accident

Otherwise, there was no other

explanation for it because no one would

believe that Eric Ferguson did it on

purpose.

“If he dares to bully you, I’ll definitely beat

him up!” Ian waved his fist

Nicole swept a glance around and did

see Grant anywhere. ‘Where’s my

brother?‘

‘He just went to the VIP table with

Chaarman Lichman to talk business. Do

you wanna go find him?” Ian asked.

Nicole shook her head. “Forget it. Let’s

not bother him.”

When she turned her head, she saw Eric

Ferguson walking towards them.

‘It’s such a coincidence that he keeps

popping up everywhere. Why is that guy

haunting me like a ghost?!‘

Nicole raised her eyebrows, held Ian’s

arm, and intended to leave as if she did

not see Eric.

“Nicole, let’s talk.” The man’s dark eyes

sank.

‘There’s nothing to talk about.’

not stop and left him high and dry. she

did not want to have the slightest thing to

do with this man.

He was just here to give her an apology,

but an apology was the most worthless

form of guilt.

She did not need it!
