Chapter 44 Blind


    Nicole sneered and looked at Ingrid Ferguson with a cold gaze. She lowered her eyelids slightly and


    said, "M s. 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-


    inw 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 to 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 s o arrogant? Why didn''t my brother back me up?''


    "Ms. Ferguson, you actually think that I want to seduce Mr. Ferguson?"


    Nicoleughed 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 to do this!''


    That kiss at the end of the dance was unexpected and shocking. It must have nted 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 nce at Eric. The corners of her lips hooked up into a


    mocking smile.


    "Three years ago, I was blind enough to marry Mr.


    Ferguson, but I''m certainly not so blind as to fall for M r. Ferguson now. Even if I seduce every man on


    earth, I won''t ever look at Eric Ferguson 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

    red at Ingrid and Eric viciously before he quickly followed after Nicole.


    The crowd looked at Eric, who stood there with a glum face. His gaze followed closely after Nicole''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. Eichman, I wanted to ask if this three-way


    cooperation of yours can be expanded to a four-way cooperation?" Keithughed as he pulled Gerard


    Lichman over, trying to divert everyone''s attention to other ces.


    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 sses on his nose bridge. "No."


    Keith said, "Can''t you be a little more euphemistic?"


    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 nced at a certain location downstairs before he smiled and left.


    At the same time, there were not many people around i n 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 ident."


    This could only be an ident. Otherwise, there was n o other exnation 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 nce around and did not see Grant anywhere. "Where''s my brother?"


    "He just went to the VIP table with Chairman Eichman 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.” Nicole did 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!
