The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 462 Own Mines

Eli Harrison smiled. "Bro, this is my youngest daughter. She's been living abroad, so she's quite shy since she has never attended these events before. Don't laugh at her."

Eric smiled faintly without much emotion.

Nicole sized up Ivy Harrison. Looking at her demeanor, Ivy did not look like she grew up abroad.

Noticing Nicole's gaze, Ivy glanced at her and quickly bowed her head.

Since Nicole knew what this father and daughter pair had in mind, she did not need to stay any longer.

Nicole smiled and patted Eric's shoulder.

"Mr. Ferguson, you guys talk. I'll get something to eat."

Before Eric could stop her, Eli Harrison laughed loudly.

"Take care, Ms. Stanton."

With a faint smile, Nicole turned around and left.

Many people around saw this scene. Nicole's departing back looked so lonely, which inevitably made others pity her.

She took a slice of cake and sat down in a corner. A man sat down beside her.

It was Clayton.

He loosened his tie and looked helpless. "I'm sorry for leaving you alone when I brought you here..."

Nicole smiled and expressed her understanding.

"Mr. Sloan, you just returned to Mediania, so naturally, there will be people taking advantage of this opportunity to network with you. It's completely understandable." Clayton had a lot of wine earlier, so he was slowly sipping on a glass of sparkling water at this moment.

"Mr. Ferguson is here?"

He glanced over in the direction of Eric and was stunned for a moment.

"Harrison Corporation?"

Nicole was surprised that Clayton could accurately recognize Eli Harrison when he had just returned to Mediania.

Clayton chuckled. "I was studying the investment situation in Western Mediania. Chairman Harrison is extremely conservative. He only keeps his mines for a living, so it's nothing promising." Nicole nodded with understanding.

"I heard that he has a daughter, Joy Harrison?"

Nicole shook her head. "The one beside him is Ivy Harrison. He said that she was raised abroad."

Clayton laughed lightly and crossed his legs. His aura

was imposing.

"Who's he trying to fool? That's probably his illegitimate daughter. His wife died not long ago so he finally dared to acknowledge this illegitimate daughter."

Nicole nodded with even more admiration as she thought, 'Wow... I didn't expect Clayton to be so updated with gossip. He's comparable to Kai!'

This would explain why Ivy Harrison was different from the regular high-society ladies.

Clayton coughed slightly. "Well... It's good to know some gossip at times. I learned about it before returning home."

Nicole met Clayton's eyes and could not help but chuckle.

Their eyes were soft as they looked at each other.

They were sitting closely, so from an outsider's point of view, they were quite intimate.

Was the previous gossip online true?

Was Clayton Sloan really Nicole's new love?

This scene was extremely harsh in Eric's eyes, who was staring at the couple not far away.

Eli Harrison deliberately left his daughter behind to take care of Eric to give them a chance to bond.

Ivy Harrison was nervous and excited. She had lived for twenty years as an illegitimate daughter. She finally waited until the day that Eli's wife died to be recognized in the Harrison family. She could finally stand up for herself.

Eli also gave her such a big opportunity.

Before this, Ivy could never live in the same dignified and honorable way as Joy Harrison because she was not deserving enough.

Even if Ivy lived in the Harrison Villa, no one respected her. Even the maids would give her weird looks.

If Ivy could marry Eric Ferguson, no one would look down on her as an illegitimate daughter.

Eli Harrison also told Ivy that he would not have recognized her as his daughter if it were not for the Fergusons looking for a marriage alliance with the world's leading families.

That was because Joy Harrison was already married.

For the sake of a marriage alliance with the Ferguson family, Ivy's existence finally had some value.

Even though Ivy was unhappy about this, she knew that this was her only chance.

She secretly raised her eyes to look at Eric. This cold and noble man that only appeared in TV and magazines was truly right in front of her.

Ivy bit her lower lip and worked up the courage to take a step forward.
