Chapter 28
Eric Ferguson quickly left the table, leaving Keith stupefied as he received hostile glares from Nicole’s friends. The taut SL.lflg in Keith’s heart suddenly snapped, Keith felt that those people led by Yvette just wanted to eat him alive. ‘Eric left me like that’?
Aren’t we bros?‘ Keith looked at the people in front of him and bit his lower lip as he spoke with no dignity, “Can you please spare me this time?“ The whole group said in unison, “No!” Downstairs. Nicole came out from the side door where there was no crowd. She had just sent a text to her big brother, so his driver should be arriving soon. She also sent Yvette a message. “Nicole…” A raspy voice called her name as Eric’s tall and brawny figure stood at the side door. Nicole was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on her aloof and guarded look.
Noticing her change in expression, Eric lowered his eyes slightly. “What’s the matter, Mr. Ferguson?” The light at the side door was dim and
elongated their shadows. When Eric took a step forward, Nicole took a step back, establishing a clear boundary between them. Eric smirked and threw the lit cigarette in
his hand aside. He continued to approach her and stared at her closely. “Nicole. Ingrid provoked you first at the restaurant, so I’ll get her to apologize to you” Nicole lowered her eyes and laughed for a momei”. Suddenly, she stopped smiling and looked so cold with a trace of derision in her eyes.
“There’s no need for that. Just watch your family properly.” The restaurant incident was not the only thing they needed to apologize for anyway. Nicole no longer cared for their apologies Eric frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but a frantic scream coming from the door interrupted him. When he looked over, he saw a butt-naked Keith
running out with his hands covering hi’; lace He was so humiliated and desperate that his voice cracked. “I won’t let vou get away with this!” When Keith got to the door, there was a flash o. light. The naked man stopped in
his tracks and was shocked to see Eric and Nicole standing next to him.
He was ashamed and vexed as he pointed at Nicole with his trembling arm. He even wanted to cry. “You…you even took a picture?!” NlCO|€ looked at the picture on her phone with satisfaction. It was not
blurry and the angle was just nice to capture everything. It was simply perfect! She gently hooked the corners of her lips and glanced at Keith provocatively. “Mr. Ludwig, it’s a pity if no one recorded
your entertaining performance, so i purposely waited tor you here ” Nicole knew that Keith would not have the guts to leave through the front door. and there was only one side door in this bar “You… you…” Keith was so exasperated that he became speechless and covered his private parts with both hands.
Nicole’s gaze was cold and her tone was
stern as she said, “lf you dare to mess with me again, I’ll post this photo for the whole world to see!” ‘Does he think that I’m the same stupid woman from three years ago? How dare h e mess with me?’ As soon as Nicole turned around, Grant Stanton’s driver was waiting by the ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
roadside. The driver bowed politely and waited patiently for Nicole to finish her business. Nicole did not even glance at Eric and bypassed him, then sat inside Grant’s luxury car. The car gradually drove out of sight, and only then did Eric withdraw his gaze. Somehow, Eric felt uncomfortable seeing that Nicole’s face was unmoved and filled
with mockery without the slightest hint of shyness or evasion when Keith ran out naked.
However, when Eric looked back at the events tonight, from Nicole’s violin performance on stage to the poker dice game, his original impression of the well behaved and quiet Nicole suddenly changed. Every move she made was such a mystery. lt felt like there was a
thin layer of fog that surrounded her, making it increasingly impossible to see through her. Thinking of this, the bottom o f Eric’s heart became irritable again. Seeing Keith standing there staring at Nicole’s departed car, Eric could not help but frown. He tossed the iacket in his hand on Keith’s head and said, “Let’s go! D o you not feel ashamed?”
