The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 400 Are You Angry?

"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, if 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 to 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.

"I'm not angry. She's always been like this. Didn't you guys already know that?"

'You guys?' Eric's heart trembled fiercely. Even the tendons in his right legs were faintly aching.

In her opinion, he was grouped with the rest of them and was no different from Quinn.

Nicole thought that Eric would not help her, nor did he care about her.

She was left to fend for herself and he even thought that she was in his way.

Has he not always been like this?

What he happened to see today was just the tip of the iceberg.

Nicole tried to leave, but Eric clung to her hand and looked at her with reddened eyes. The complexity and guilt in his eyes almost drowned her.

However, Nicole was unmoved.

She did not dare to be a moth to a flame again.

Nicole turned back in annoyance. Just as Eric was about to speak, Luca suddenly pulled his wheelchair backward, which made Eric subconsciously let go of Nicole, who then walked away.

Luca tossed him to the side and followed her.

Eric was left speechless.

Lucy, who vaguely heard the commotion upstairs, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was only Eric upstairs.

"Mr. Ferguson, what can I do for you?"

Eric turned around. The sharpness in his eyes swept dangerously towards her, which made Lucy shudder.

"I'm sending you abroad immediately so that you can learn how to be a proper maid."

Lucy looked at him in shock.

"President Ferguson, w-what did I do wrong? I can't leave..."

Lucy earned twenty to thirty grand a month working here. There was barely any work to do but she often got bonuses. She would not be able to get this treatment anywhere else! The contract she signed with the Ferguson family was for a period of thirty years, so she had to do everything as per the Fergusons' wishes.
