The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 400

"The most outrageous thing is that she even forgot to give Mr. Ferguson his medicine yesterday and made him take double the dose this morning! She must be trying to kill him. That woman is simply too vicious. She probably wants to take revenge on him... Madam, i f that woman marries into the family again, she'll surely bring trouble!"

Eric's expression changed abruptly. His originally surprised and happy look was gradually replaced by coldness and gloom. A sharp and dangerous haze seemed to coat his face.

He did not say anything, but his fingers clutching the wheelchair began to turn white. The veins on his arms bulged as he held himself back.

Nicole sat calmly on the steps as if she was listening t o some gossip that had nothing to do with her. There was even a faint but cold smile on her face.

Her calmness was like a knife that gouged out his heart little by little.

Eric thought that by bringing her back, he would be able to make her forget about the ugly past and make some sweet memories with her to make up for his regrets.

However, this was the result.

Nicole sat there and listened to those insulting and unpalatable words openly with no trace of surprise.

If Lucy was not someone Nicole could trust, then what kind of life did she live every day during those three years that she was living here?

Eric did not dare to imagine it. Lucy was one of Quinn's people. According to Quinn's temper and how much she hated Nicole, what would she get the nanny to do to Nicole?

He was keenly aware of Nicole's emotional changes since last night. She went from disgust to indifference, coldness, and finally disdain.

Those changes were like interlocking blades that twisted around his heart. It was excruciatingly painful.

Finally, Lucy hung up the phone.

Nicole calmly got up and was a little confused when she saw Eric’s glum face.

'He's not the one getting scolded, so why is he so angry?'

Just as Nicole was about to walk past him, Eric pulled her arm and asked in a low and hoarse voice.

"Nicole, are you angry? Do you want me to punish her?"

Would venting out her anger make Nicole forget about the three years of unhappiness?

His thoughts were almost despicable. 'Maybe it's still not too late... Maybe Nicole really doesn't mind...’

Nicole's lips curled up, and her voice was flat.
