The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2267 Help Me Find a Way

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.

He was unwilling to let her disappear from his world.

There was a deep silence in the tunnel.

Suddenly, Nicole said in a nonchalant and casual tone, "By the way, Mr. Lieberman, there's no surveillance camera here, so how do you know that we're not bad guys?" Just now, Jeff was the one who stopped Abel from ambushing them.

Nicole asked and looked back at Jeff with a soft smile like it was a simple question.

When Jeff saw that smile, his heart skipped a beat. There seemed to be light in the darkness again.

Subconsciously, Jeff blurted out, "I heard a voice..."

In the next second, his expression changed, and he quickly shut up.

He heard a voice.

Whose voice?

At that time, Nicole did not speak.

Instead, Luca only said, "Miss".

How could Jeff recognize Luca's voice? How did he know that Luca was not dangerous from his voice?

Jeff felt like his IQ was regressing, and he hated himself for making such mistakes so frequently and exposing himself.

His body stiffened, but it was not noticeable in the dark.

His mind was spinning rapidly, trying to think of an excuse for his gaffe.

After Nicole heard this, she did not react in any way. She followed Luca calmly and did not seem to care about his answer. Jeff breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, at this time, Jeff did not see Nicole's red eyes.

Nicole was so sharp and intelligent. She did not say anything casually, and Jeff had already given her the answer.

At this moment, she already knew that certain things were irrelevant.

However, since he did not want to admit it, she could not force him.

He was still alive, and that was what mattered.

Finally, they returned to the outermost anatomy room.

Under the refraction of the light, the tools on the bench glowed coldly.

Nicole and Luca hesitated if they should go out at this time.

She looked back.

Abel walked behind. Jeff was at the end, driving the wheelchair by himself.

This made Nicole frown slightly.

Subsequently, she heard a lot of footsteps outside.

It was probably Leighton and his people.

Nicole glanced at Luca, who nodded.

"Miss, wait a moment. I'll go and have a look first."

As he spoke, he leaned against the door and carefully watched the situation outside.

The next second, Nicole suddenly heard something behind her. Before Nicole could turn around, a cold muzzle was placed on the back of her head.

Nicole was shocked, and her whole body trembled instantly.

"Mr. Lieberman, your bodyguard..."

Before she finished speaking, Jeff's gaze darkened.

This was beyond his expectation.

"Abel..."

Jeff gritted his teeth, and there was a chill in his voice.

Abel's expression changed slightly.

"I'm Mr. Shaw's man, so I'll help him no matter what. Mr. Lieberman, you have a good relationship with Mr. Shaw, but you still betrayed him at this time. How could you do this when he trusted you so much? He tried everything possible to cure you and make you stand up again. Is this how you repay him?"
