The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 10

The glorious banquet hall was filled with important people. Every guest present was at the top of their field.

Nicole was mentally prepared to see Eric Ferguson again. Her heart did not fluctuate when she saw him because she had already let him go.

Although everyone knew that Eric Ferguson had an ex -wife, Eric had never brought her to any formal occasions. Even when the last statement went viral online, everyone had only heard of her name.

When Nicole saw Wendy Quade beside Eric, she laughed lightly and thought, 'She took my place so soon?'

Grant Stanton sensed her emotions and thoughtfully patted her arm. "Don't be afraid. I’m with you." 1

Nicole’s smile deepened. "I’m not the one who should b e afraid."

'I don’t have any worries anymore. What should I be afraid of? I’m invincible!'

Grant walked up to Eric. The two men were equal in popularity and were similar in all aspects.

"Mr. Ferguson, I've heard a lot about you.” "Mr. Stanton, so have I." The two men shook hands and parted immediately after. Eric's eyes were fixed on the woman next to Grant. 1

Nicole stood beside Grant and smiled radiantly. Her eyes were glistening and clear, and her bespoke dress made her fair skin look flawless. She looked like a completely different person from before, and Eric could not take his eyes off of her. 1

This radiant Nicole in front of him was unfamiliar and dangerous with a fatal attraction. Eric could only stare at her unmovingly while a complex emotion stirred in his heart.

'Did she go to Grant Stanton the day she vanished into thin air? What is her relationship with Grant Stanton?' 1

At that moment, the emotions surging in Eric’s heart were so complicated that he did not even know how to describe them. Anger started to brew in his dark eyes.

Wendy Quade also noticed the flash of shock in Eric's eyes the moment he saw Nicole. She secretly gritted her teeth and said in a shrill voice, "Nicole, why are you here? Do you think this is a place you can come as you please?” 2

She was reminding Nicole not to forget her lowly status.

Eric’s brow furrowed, but before he could stop her, he heard Grant's cold rhetorical question.

"And which family are you from, Miss?" His tone was aloof and interrogative.

Wendy froze and forgot that she had a companion, so she hastily tried to remedy the situation. "Sir, you may not know this, but Nicole just divorced Eric..."
