The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 2267

However, Jeff calmed down quickly.

His panic faded.

He could even raise his eyes to meet Nicole’s cold gaze and calmly said, “I’ve turned it down because I don’t want to die on the operating table.”

Nicole suddenly felt like crying. Her eyes were sore as if an electric current passed through, which almost made her lose control.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Jeff paused and took out his phone. Sebastian’s panicked voice came through, “Bro, it’s bad! Connor Upton’s people barged in and raided the place. They’re trying to arrest me. Will you help me think of a way? I can’t get arrested! My career is just beginning, and I can change the history of humankind!”

Sebastian’s voice was unstable as he was probably running to escape.

It looked like Connor and Leighton already surrounded the place.

However, Sebastian brought this onto himself.

Sebastian designed the undersea laboratory to be exactly the same as the research institute. Thus, it was a great convenience for Leighton and Connor.

Jeff looked at Nicole with dark eyes and said calmly to the person on the phone, “I can’t think of a way, Mr. Shaw. I wish you luck.”

“Bro, how could you abandon me at this time? When you supported me back then, you obviously had confidence in me. I will shock the whole world soon, and I’ll cure you and make you stand upright again! We can be the best partners!”

At this time, Sebastian still did not forget to brainwash Jeff.

Nicole thought it was funny.

For a moment, she felt less depressed.

Jeff saw Nicole’s smile, and his eyes turned gentle.

“Mr. Shaw, why don’t you admit defeat?”

“Bro, how can I admit defeat? With your ability, you can help me turn the tables. As long as you help me escape, we can make a comeback.”

“Sebastian, but I didn’t know before that you stole the results of this project...”

After Jeff said this, Sebastian fell silent on the phone.

He was surprised that Jeff found out.

Soon, loud footsteps came from the phone.

“So what? I’m the only person who can save you now. I already know your identity. If you don’t help me, I’ll tell everyone about you. You’re just a useless cripple, and you don’t want anyone to know that…”

Before Sebastian finished his sentence, Jeff hung up the phone.

There was a dead silence in the air.

Jeff seemed to be immersed in his own torment. He felt a bone-piercing cold and sadness as if his existence was a disgrace.

Nicole was also frozen in place because of Sebastian’s hysterical words.

Sebastian did not say anything of substance, but Nicole clearly heard the name “Clayton”.

Jeff suddenly raised his head and looked at the man on the side.

“Abel, you can choose to go out and help Mr. Shaw or stay and follow me. I won’t mistreat you if you stay, but you’ll die if you go out.”

After the shock and struggle, the bodyguard finally gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll follow you, Mr. Lieberman.”

Jeff looked up at Nicole and wanted to smile, but he realized that he was wearing a mask, so there was no difference if he smiled or not.

His eyes were deep, and his heart kept sinking.

He hoped that Sebastian’s words just now did not arouse her suspicion.

“Ms. Stanton, thank you for telling me this. I won’t stay here anymore. Shall we go?”

Nicole was surprised that he agreed so easily, but at the same time, it was somewhat expected.

She nodded, then turned around and walked out.

Abel stood behind Jeff, but he did not push the wheelchair.

Jeff put his finger on the wheelchair and touched it lightly to trigger the button on the touch screen.

When he pressed it once, the wheelchair started to move forward by itself.

Nicole walked in front of Jeff, and Luca led the way.

Jeff looked at Nicole’s back with a bit of reluctance and nostalgia.
