The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2033 A Pair of Earrings

Nicole watched Luke quietly for a few seconds.

Under bright lights, Luke's eyes were glimmering, as if he had the urge to break through the limits.

It was the kind of youthful struggle that any self-made man would have.

Nicole smiled.

"Continue."

"I plan to change our research to focus on aerospace. Although there are many monopolies in the aerospace field, it's the most extensive and lenient in terms of technological design. Our research results overlap with the aerospace field to some extent, so we'll still be able to make it if we change direction now."

Luke said excitedly.

Nicole was silent as she fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist.

"So, do you have a plan?"

"I had a few conversations with the people from Aerospace Corporation just now and noticed that they were unsure about the frequency of accidents in the current field. Although our technology has advanced

by leaps and bounds, in some respects, Liberty's technology is more refined and better than ours. Since we have overlapping research areas, we might as well change the direction of research. It's about time for the monopoly of aviation technology to change."

He said the last sentence calmly, but Nicole was excited to hear this.

Nicole lost the mood to drink and listened to him with her eyes lowered.

When Luke finished speaking, Nicole slowly came to her senses.

Her eyes flickered with admiration.

"You're right, Mr. Youngblood. I look forward to your achievements."

Nicole had a vague intuition that Luke would soar to success sooner or later.

Luke would be able to make a name for himself in this complicated business circle. Just as they were talking, Tina looked around to replace Nicole and came over happily. "Mr. Youngblood is also here?"

Tina looked at Nicole with a suggestive gaze as she thought, 'Nicole was just caught by Clayton earlier... But in a blink of an eye, she's now with Mr. Youngblood? How amazing!' Nicole was not bothered to explain and smiled perfunctorily.

"Do you need something?"

Tina leaned in close to Nicole's ear ;g#> QNW< said softly, "There's a pair of earrings

Nicole was stunned. "Sure, no problem."

She glanced at Luke and nodded.

Luke was very sensible and left.

Nicole followed Tina to the auction hall.

Another exhibition hall was full of collections to be auctioned.

The auction items were stored here.

Tina pulled Nicole in. When the bodyguard at the door saw Nicole, he nodded and moved aside. The manager greeted Nicole and said with a smile,

"Ms. Stanton, the auction will start in fifteen minutes. Would you like to view the items in advance?"

Nicole nodded, and Tina ran in impatiently.

"Look, these earrings are so pretty!"

Tina said as she pointed to a pair of earrings inside the glass cabinet.

Nicole walked over and squinted. It was indeed beautiful and extravagant.

The manager smiled and came over to introduce the item.

"This is the auction item that Mr. Gilbert brought over. He said that his wife

voluntarily donated this pair of earrings.

We've also sent a thank you letter to Mrs. Gilbert!"

After the manager finished speaking, Tina's face turned pale and stiff.

Nicole was also stunned.

Tina dragged her over to look at the earrings. That was because Tina wanted Nicole to bid for it on her behalf in case someone outbid her. After the auction, she would then buy it back from Nicole. This way, those who were interested in bidding would give up for Nicole's sake.

Tina would have to pay a lot less as well.

Nicole did not mind doing her a small favor.

When Nicole saw this scene, she thought that the situation must not be so simple and regretted helping.

Nicole could barely hold her composure.

It took only a few seconds for Tina to have a mental breakdown after being dumbfounded.

However, Tina's emotions probably accumulated for many days and were let out in these few seconds.

Tina's fondness for the pair of earrings turned into disgust and indifference.

She suddenly wanted to jump over and smash the glass box.

However, she was stopped by the quickwitted manager and bodyguard.

"Mrs. Gilbert, what are you doing?"

Nicole vaguely realized something.

Tina always pretended to be generous and dignified in front of others. Even if everyone in the elite circle knew that her husband was a philanderer, Tina never said a word about it. She was always a model wife in the elite circle.

As long as one was the legal wife, it did not matter who one's husband fancied.

However, at this moment, Tina suddenly had a mental breakdown.

She screamed and roared, attracting the attention of everyone outside the exhibition hall.

The manager looked at Nicole in embarrassment.

"Ms. Stanton, what's going on?"

Nicole raised her eyes and said indifferently, "The 'Mrs. Gilbert' that you thanked isn't Mr. Gilbert's legal wife, who is now right in front of you."

The manager did not know what to say.

He only knew that the earrings were sent over by Mr. Gilbert in the name of Mrs.

Gilbert. Who knew that there was so much drama behind it?

No one could stand seeing Tina crying and having a mental breakdown.

Nicole clicked her tongue and had to do something about it. She walked over and persuaded Tina in a soft voice, "Why are you crying? Don't you already know about his affairs? Since you're already aware, why are you making such a big fuss this time?"

Tina sat on the ground listlessly and pointed at the pair of earrings.

"You know what? I'm aware that he has mistresses. I could tolerate it because he said that he was only fooling around with them and that no one could replace me. He said that the company was in trouble, so asked our relatives and friends to help him. I was frugal and reluctant to buy even a piece of jewelry, yet he bought such precious jewelry for his mistress and even donated it at will. Here I am, still trying my best to buy this second-hand item!"

Tina cried hysterically. The makeup on her face was messed up.

Everyone saw this scene and sighed.

Zach Gilbert was not there yet. No one saw him in the hall, so he would probably arrive later.

It was awkward for Nicole to stay here, but she could not leave Tina alone either.

What should she do?

Tina and Zach's marriage was already crumbling, but Tina felt that she could still hang on to her marriage.

If Nicole persuaded Tina to get a divorce, but Tina made up with Zach later, Nicole would be in an awkward position.

The manager squatted down and looked at Tina in embarrassment.

"Mrs. Gilbert, this auction item was sent over by Mr. Gilbert. Unless it involves stolen goods, which will be returned to the police, we'll have to auction it according to the regulations..."

Tina abruptly raised her head, revealing her red eyes.

"Auction it then! Who even wants a secondhand item from a homewrecker!"

While she spoke, Clayton heard the commotion outside and walked in to look for Nicole.

Nicole pursed her lips and shrugged her shoulders helplessly.

The two looked at each other and could not do anything to help.

Tina's mental breakdown might have been expected, but this was not the occasion to create trouble.

Clayton said, "Mrs. Gilbert, I heard that Mr. Gilbert has already arrived at the entrance. If you have anything to say, you might as well confront him. It's pointless to cry by yourself here." Tina wiped her face and raised her head with an undisguised infuriated expression.

"Really?"

Clayton nodded.

Tina stood up without another word and ran out holding the hem of her skirt, completely disregarding her image.
