The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 520 Wicked Stepmother

Quinn's shocked reaction was slightly out-of-place, and her voice was shrill, so she drew the attention of many people. Ivy Harrison stood meekly beside Quinn Ferguson, quiet and docile like she was pretending to be an ostrich.

The moment she saw Nicole, a vague hint of excitement and resentment flashed in her eyes.

Nicole did not look at Ivy. She only gently raised her eyes and glanced at Quinn.

She did not explain herself because she could not be bothered with Quinn.

Quinn realized that she had lost her composure and hurriedly snapped back to her senses.

The man sitting across Nicole wore expensive clothes, had an outstanding temperament, and his movements were regal.

The child was raised well and had good manners. Even the way he acted petulantly was not overbearing.

With Nicole's current identity, the people she came into contact with were definitely not ordinary.

However, Quinn still could not help but sneer.

"I was mistaken. Nicole, is this your... Boyfriend?"

She looked at Clayton as if she was an elder.

According to etiquette, Clayton should stand up and greet her.

However, he already investigated the people around Nicole, so he knew that this woman before him was no one to Nicole.

Nicole took her time and peeled the shrimp with elegant movements before putting it on Lil Michael's plate.

She turned to Quinn.

Her voice was cold.

"Do we know each other well? Do I need to introduce you?"

Quinn's expression turned ugly. 'Nicole is really loathsome no matter the time!'

Ivy carefully tugged on Quinn's clothes. "Aunty, let's not interrupt Ms. Stanton's date. Let's go over there, shall we?"

Quinn glanced at Ivy and was increasingly satisfied with her.

Her daughter-in-law could have a mediocre family background, but she had to have a good temper.

She patted Ivy's hand and looked at Nicole with a sneer.

"Nicole, if you already have a boyfriend, then hurry up and move your belongings away from Imperial Gardens. Don't try to have a foot in both camps. Otherwise, you'll end up with nothing." Nicole's gaze darkened, and the smile on her lips was frigid.

Before she could speak, Clayton let out a cold laugh across the table.

His voice was calm and cold, and his eyes that had been warm carried a trace of icy chill.

"Ms. Stanton has always been particular with her tastes and won't put her foot in just any camp, especially lousy ones. They're unworthy of her noble feet."

The atmosphere froze in an instant.

Quinn was agitated and furious. "You have no right to speak up!"

Nicole said, "You have no right to speak up either..."

She slowly and methodically took the wet wipes and carefully wiped her slender fingers.

"Hmph! Forget it! Nicole, you heard about the engagement for Eric, didn't you? There are no good endings for women who act too tough. You're even reduced to replaceing a man with a child... In any case, you should cherish it..."

Quinn glanced at the small child, who stared at her with big round eyes and pouted in anger.

Nicole's gaze was deep. "Mrs. Ferguson, you should cherish your life instead."

Although Lil Michael did not quite understand what they meant, he could see that his father was angry, which meant that this old lady was a bad person.

Lil Michael could not help but grunt coldly.

"Pretty Lady is a princess. Bad old lady, you're not allowed to bully my princess!"

Quinn sneered. "She'll become your wicked stepmother in the future!"

In an instant, both Nicole and Clayton's expressions subconsciously darkened.

The atmosphere was stagnant and cold.

Ivy did not dare to say anything from the side, but she also realized that the situation was awry.

The next second, Nicole pulled out her phone.

She found a number and dialed it.

The call was picked up in less than one ring.

"Nicole?"

Eric could not hide the shock and happiness in his tone.

Nicole put the call on speakerphone.

Quinn inexplicably felt a flash of panic when she heard her son's voice.

Nicole said, "Mr. Ferguson, the relationship between the Stanton and Ferguson families finally improved, but you're already so eager to fall out with us. Is it because you've found your next target?"
