The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 501 The Two of Them Are Really Together

Clayton's smile faintly stiffened. His eyes darkened for a brief moment, but it was only for a short second before he returned to his usual self.

"Did Mr. Ferguson ask you to come and persuade me?"

Keith was stunned and immediately denied it. "Of course not, we're just reminding you that there are women everywhere, so you don't need to look for a divorced woman with a domineering and strong personality, right?"

After Keith finished speaking, he felt a cool breeze on his back.

Before Colton could nudge Keith, Nicole's icy voice gradually approached from behind.

"Keith Ludwig, didn't anyone teach you to be more discreet when talking bad about others?"

Keith's body shook violently. His eyes flashed with a hint of panic. He had goosebumps all over.

He stiffly turned his head with a frightened expression. "N-Nicole..."

Keith's mind went blank. 'What did I just say? Divorced? Domineering and strong personality? No, I didn't say that, right?'

Nicole was indifferent and expressionless as she walked over. She curled her lips and said, "If you two know all about my affairs, you shouldn't just tell it to one person. You might as well just go to the media. Don't you think that'll have a better effect?"

Keith choked a little. 'No way! I won't dare to even if someone gave me the guts!'

Colton knew that they were in the wrong and stood to the side with his mouth shut, but his reaction was not as exaggerated as Keith's.

That was because Nicole did not have something over him. The fact that Colton almost married Melanie was just a stain on his life.

Keith was different because Nicole had his nudes. If she exposed his nudes in a fit of anger, he would not be able to show his face in public again!

He stood up trembling with an ingratiating and humble smile on his face. "I was just kidding. Why would I go about spreading rumors? I was just saying hello to Mr. Sloan..."

Nicole coldly swept a glance at him and sat on the opposite seat.

"Keith, if I'm on the hot topics, I'll make sure that you'll rank first."

Keith was shaken. His face changed slightly and instantly understood Nicole's warning tone.

'It's so hard to be Eric's bro!' Keith thought.

"I-I was wrong!"

Keith was ashamed to look at Clayton's expression. He felt like he had lost his reputation.

Nicole's voice was calm and cold. "Did Eric Ferguson put you up to this?"

Keith hesitated for a few seconds. "Of course..."

'Not!' However, he could not bring himself to say the last word. He looked at Nicole's eyes, which were filled with disbelief. 'Sigh...'

"Of course... He did..."

Keith bit his tongue. 'I'm sorry, bro!'

Nicole was expressionless. Her gaze swept past Keith and she looked toward the entrance. She hooked her lips in a cold and mocking smile.

"Mr. Ferguson, you hear that? No one wronged you. Your best friend admitted it himself."

Keith's body shook as he slowly turned back with a stiff face.

He saw Eric standing there with a dark and sullen face, shrouded in a gloomy coldness.

Keith just felt like he was struck by lightning twice in a row. He was completely terrified and shocked to the core.

All he wanted was to burrow into the ground.

'Why is there such a coincidence?! How did Eric show

up out of the blue?'

Nicole sneered and turned to Clayton with a faint smile on her face. "I'm not in the mood to eat anymore. Let's head back?"

Clayton raised his eyebrows. "Sure."

The two of them went out one after the other and walked past Eric, whose face was extremely glum. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line as his gaze was fixed on Nicole. Unfortunately, Nicole did not show even a trace of emotion.

Eric opened his mouth wanting to explain, but he only looked miserable and powerless. His fists on both sides were clenched tightly and his body was tense.

After Nicole left, Keith braced himself and walked over. "Um... Eerg, I think the two of them might really be together..."

Eric lifted his eyes and cast a cold and sharp sidelong glance at Keith.
