Chapter 127

Wyatt, who was pretending to be Preston, was perplexed for a moment before bursting out laughing.

“Haha, what are you thinking about? Don’t worry, you’re the only girl in my life.”

He then grinned cheekily once more. The sad Preston disappeared.

Was she imagining things?

Eliana found herself more and more confused about the man. What had happened to him?

“Take a seat. I’m going to clean my coat.”

Preston then stood up and walked away, carrying his coat in his arms. Eliana felt he now seemed more

flustered than Bradly.

The private dining room began to flare up again as soon as the fake Preston and Bradly left.

“Eliana, tell me the truth. What’s your relationship with Mr. Stewart?” one of her colleagues asked,

gossiping.

“He was my senior back in university,” Eliana explained.

“Senior? It’s impossible that your connection with him ends there. He looked at you so affectionately.”

“You’re just exaggerating.”

“By the way, what does your boyfriend do? He looks very wealthy.”

Everyone gathered around her, trying to gossip. Eliana couldn’t take it any longer.

“Ah! Why hasn’t my boyfriend returned yet? He might have lost his way. I’ll go look for him.”

Eliana abruptly stood up and dashed out of the room as quickly as she could.

Meanwhile, Wyatt went to the balcony by himself to get some fresh air. He silently watched the cars on

the street. No one could tell what he was thinking.

“You should go back there now.” Maurice’s voice broke the silence on the balcony.

Wyatt chuckled. “Why? What’s wrong? Don’t worry, I won’t give myself away. It’s almost over. Don’t get

too worked up.”

“Anyway, don’t make matters worse. Go back as soon as possible. Don’t forget that Eliana is very

shrewd.”

“I know.”

Wyatt shook his head, convinced that Maurice had fallen madly in love with Eliana.

He turned around and was about to go back to the private dining room when he noticed a familiar

figure.

A curvaceous, sexy woman, wearing a wine-red velvet strappy dress and sunglasses, stood in another

corner of the balcony.

The woman leaned against the wall, a cigarette in between her slender fingers. Her red lips parted as

she exhaled the smoke, which blurred her outline. She looked debauched and very appealing.

Wyatt recognized the woman at a glance, despite the smoke and sunglasses.

It was Nicole.

He would never, ever forget her.

Nicole, sneaking out for a smoke, had just finished another cigarette. When she took another stick and

was about to smoke again, the lighter didn’t work.

‘Dammit! Why isn’t everything going swimmingly today?’

Nicole, who was now irritated, raised her head and met Wyatt’s eyes.

Wyatt took a step back subconsciously.

Nicole, on the other hand, approached him nonchalantly. In an instant, all Wyatt could see was the

stunning woman in front of him.

Nicole stood in front of him, holding a cigarette in her hand.

“Hey, sir, do you have a light?”

It seemed that she didn’t know him.

Wyatt went into a trance for a brief moment. He then remembered that he was pretending to be

Preston now, wearing an elaborate mask. It was impossible for Nicole to recognize him.

He couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry at that point.

But when did Nicole begin smoking?

Wyatt frowned. But he still took out a lighter and lit her cigarette.

“Thank you,” Nicole said perfunctorily.

She took a puff on her cigarette and looked more relaxed.

“Are you Nicole Swift?”

It seemed that the man knew her.

Nicole blew out smoke rings before asking, “So what? You are free to tell the press anything about me.

Of course, you can request the hush money from my agent. He is extremely generous.”

Wyatt became enraged when he heard her indifferent tone. He had been simmering with anger since

Nicole had abandoned him.

“What are you doing?” Through the camera, Maurice sensed something strange about Wyatt.

Wyatt had already forgotten that he still had to pretend to be Preston at this point. He turned off the

camera and hung up the phone.

He raised his brows and inquired, “Are you wealthy?”

“Sort of.” Nicole chuckled.

“Then I want… 5 million.”

Nicole once got $5 million from him and abandoned him coldly in a hospital right after.

He was going to take it back now.
