The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 1988

You Wanted to Dig a Hole for Me

Nicole was not shocked or scared when she saw Tyler. She smiled calmly. Her expression was indifferent to conceal her emotions.

"Why should I hide? What's there to be scared of?"

Tyler was interested in Nicole and sat across from her.

"Aren't you afraid of me? I caught your friends last time. Didn't Clayton tell you about me?"

He seemed to be asking Nicole if she was afraid of him, but he kept mentioning Clayton.

Nicole smiled and pretended not to understand him.

"This is a country with a rule of law. You and your subordinates acting tough is no threat to me. You can only attack in secret, so would you dare to touch me in such a public place?"

Tyler was stunned for a moment, then he smiled deeply and meaningfully.

"Ms. Stanton, you're just as straightforward as the legend says. How did a b*stard like Clayton manage to marry you? Putting aside his clean and innocent-looking face that can deceive women, he's actually very insidious!"

Nicole snorted lightly and shook her head.

If Clayton heard this, he would have been angry.

However, Nicole sighed and said, "All I care about is that he's handsome."

Tyler's smile froze, and his eyes were a bit cold.

"If you're willing to be my woman, I'll share half of everything with you. I'm much better and more generous than that insidious and cunning man!"

Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Is that how you coaxed Ingrid?"

"Eric's younger sister? Hahaha! There's no need for me to do that. She's so simple-minded that she believes whatever I say.'

Tyler laughed smugly.

Nicole's smile gradually faded. "Where is Ingrid now?"

Tyler asked, "Why are you asking about this?"

"I'm just curious. She's dead set on you. She'll go crazy if she replaces out that you're here to flirt with me. Besides, isn't your cooperation with Eric based on Ingrid?" Tyler squinted at Nicole..

"You know a lot, huh?"

"Actually, I came to meet you with a purpose this time."

Nicole looked at him. Tyler's looks were unremarkable, but he was so ruthless that she could easily feel his evil vibe.

Tyler was certainly different from ordinary people.

Nicole silently suppressed her nervous :h(> XJP: turbulent heart and calmed herself down.

Her voice was also extremely calm.

"You're looking for me? Did you finally think it through to be my woman?" There was an undisguised possessiveness in his sharp eyes, the kind of greed that made Nicole feel like a poisonous snake was wrapped around her neck with its cold and sharp fangs swaying in front of her.

Nicole lowered her eyes for a moment, then looked at him with a smile. Her gaze was very sincere.

"I have a batch of goods that were shipped to Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, security has been too tight recently because of you. I've been targeted by people everywhere, so I can't ship the goods out. I want to cooperate with you to ship this batch of goods out. You can take 10% of the goods' value, how about that?"

Tyler's face stiffened. The lust in his eyes faded, and it was replaced with vigilance and playfulness.

"Goods? What do you have in your hands? You need my help for Stanton

Corporation's business?"

Nicole calmly took out her phone and found the coordinates.

"It's not from the Stanton Corporation. It's my personal stash - a batch of antiques that can't be shipped out. I'm sure you're aware that the last time I was kidnapped, Snakehead saved me. Since he's my life- saver, I couldn't reject his small request. Everything went so well, but now, the goods are stuck in my hands."

When Tyler heard the name, "Snakehead", the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He looked serious as he squinted at her.

Smuggling antiques?

The relaxed mood gradually became more solemn.

Nicole truly realized that negotiating with such outlaws and negotiating with people in legit business was completely different.

The former relied on acting, and the latter relied on capability.

"Why? Did Clayton ask you to come? Is he trying to dig a hole for me?"

Tyler's tone was hostile as he stared at Nicole, trying to replace a fault in her expression.

Nicole frowned slightly and showed some impatience.

"Clayton doesn't know about this. He hates women doing this the most."

Tyler chuckled. "Right... He likes you so much, so how could he bear to let you do this kind of thing?"

Nicole smiled. "I just wanted some extra money. I can't earn half of what I'm making with this batch of goods by working hard to close deals. It would be a pity if I didn't do such a simple business, don't you think?'

Tyler looked at her and squinted as he pondered.

He obviously did not believe Nicole because it felt more like a trap.

Nicole sighed and said with a smile, "Tyler, the location of the warehouse is the coordinates that I sent you just now. If you agree to this, I'll have someone deliver the warehouse key to you, then you can send out the goods overnight. You'll get the money immediately after. It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. I'll just get Snakehead to replace a way to get these goods."

After she said that, Nicole stood up as if she did not want to talk any longer.

"Wait! Ms. Stanton, how do you know that I have a way to get out of Mediania?

Medianian customs inspection is so strict, so it's also difficult for me..."

Nicole chuckled. "You're a terrorist roaming around here freely. I don't believe that you don't have a way out."

"How many things?"

"The two containers have been sealed with wax, so water can't get in. It's better to go by sea."

Nicole's tone was cold like she was closing a normal deal.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take them all for myself?"

Tyler asked back.

The corners of Nicole's mouth twitched in disdain.

"Every item has a timer in it. If you dare to take them, I'll detonate the bomb, and you won't be able to survive."

Her voice was calm but ruthless.

Tyler was silent for a second.

"You really are ruthless!"

He was still considering whether the deal was worth it.

It was really a waste of time being in Mediania, so he might as well do something practical.

Eric needed time, and Clayton could not sit still.

If Tyler went out and brought Angie back on the way, Eric would finally be obedient.

How likely was it for Nicole to lie to him?

Tyler pondered for a few seconds and

spoke in a reckless tone.

"I want to take 20%." "You're really greedy." Nicole scoffed.

Tyler was delighted.

"Everyone knows to stay away from me, yet you came to me asking for cooperation. No one will suspect that we're working together, so it's the safest option without any risk. Ms. Stanton, this is what they mean by it's dark under the lamp."

The corners of Nicole's mouth twitched.

"This is called doing things discreetly under someone else's cover."

"Whatever..."

Nicole stood up and said in an indifferent voice, "Besides, if you dare to betray me, your sister Angie will never be able to step foot in Mediania again."

Tyler's face darkened. He suddenly raised his eyes to look at her.

Nicole chuckled lightly. "Did you think that you're the only one who could threaten people?"

She said it word by word, took her things, turned around, and left.

Tyler's bodyguards were still blocking the exit and did not let Nicole go.

Nicole discreetly put her hand on the shoulder strap of her bag and looked at the person in front of her. She turned her head calmly.

Tyler was silent for a while and sneered.

"I finally know why Clayton is willing to give up his business empire in Liberty for you. You truly are really fascinating..."
