Chapter 120
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
I donât know.â Eric spoke coldly and dodged
Keithâs hand that was reaching over to him.
This was also what Eric had been puzzled
about. He only remembered that back then,
Wendy Quade was in a car accident and had
lost too much blood, but the Rh-null blood i
stored in the blood bank in Atlanta was far
from enough.
That was when Nicole came to him. She
said that she could donate her blood to
Wendy, but with one condition â he was to
marry her.
The matter was urgent, so Eric agreed
without even thinking about it.
Everything that happened later was just
natural.
Eric did not like Nicole and did not have any
feelings for her, but he still respected all her
rights as his wife and honored their
marriage.
Suddenly, there was a clamor outside their private room.
Keith went out to take a look and
immediately turned back. âHoly sh*t, Nicoleâ
s here!â
Outside, the music was so loud that it could
shatter oneâs eardrums. Everyone below was
reveling in the music.
Nicole was dancing in the middle with her
long legs and thin waist. She had a
charming smile as she moved with the
music and immediately became the focus of
the crowd.
The woman was indeed beautiful. Her frown and her smile were equally seductive. Nicoleâs smile was
warm and bright as the crowd formed a circle around her. She was dancing with a pretty good-looking
man. Their posture was provocative and very risque. Everyone screamed in praise for Nicole until the
music ended. Keith was also infected by her dance and could not help but shout along with the
crowd as he waved. Nicole heard the familiar voice and swept a glance to see Keith upstairs. Next to him
was Eric Ferguson. Her smile faded instantly, and she turned to walk away as if she had just seen a pile
of trash. Eric was standing in the shadows. His prominent features were sunken. He never knew that she
danced so well and never noticed that her smile was so inviting.
Eric had never seen her happier than she was now in the past three years. When she married him, she
was so brave, and when she left, she was so determined. At the thought of this, Eric felt a stifling pain in
his chest as if a boulder was pressing down on him. It felt heavy and
suffocating.
He could not help but think that all of this
happened because he was too close to
Wendy Quade, which made Nicole
misunderstand their relationship.
A feeling of irritation lingered in his heart. Eric re-examined his relationship with Wendy and thought that
perhaps in some ways, he had cared too much for her. When KKeeiitthh saw Nicoleâs disdainful gaze, his
face stiffened under the colorful lights. He withdrew his swaying arms and looked at Eric. âFerg, are you
sure she wonât settle the score with us? Do you think itâs too late to apologize?â
One of their friends on the side could not help but kick Keithâs butt_ âDude, itâs just a womanâ. What are
you so afraid of? Donât humiliate yourself by apologizing!â Keith mumbled, âYouâre not the ones whose
nudes are in her hands!â Eric ignored them, downed his glass of whiskey, took his jacket, and turned to
leave.
You just got here! Where are you going?â
Keith yelled from behind.
Inside Private Room No. 9.
Nicole picked up her purse and said, âIâve
partied enough. You girls have fun! Iâm
leaving firstâ¦â
Julie and Yvette waved goodbye at her. The
two of them looked like they would not
leave until they got drunk.
Nicole was just about to go out when she
saw Keith standing at the end of the
corridor, smiling at her with his irritating
face.
`Is he waiting for me? Whatâs wrong with
this guy?â
âGet lostâ Nicole was not in the mood to talk
to him.
Keith was persistent and said, âIâll get lost,
but let me just finish what I wanna say first!
Nicole grunted coldly. âWhat do you wanna
say?â
Keith looked at Nicole, who was so cold and
relaxed, then hesitantly said, âNicole, I want
to apologize to you for what happened
before.â
Although he seemed like a spineless
coward, that was still better than having his
nudes flying all over the Internet.
Nicole gave him a sidelong glance and
gently hooked her lips. âOkay.â
Keith froze and looked up at her. âYou
forgive me?â
âNo,â Nicole said insouciantly. âThink about
how you guys tormented me back then. Do
you think a simple word of apology could
make me forget about the past? Do you have
no shame? Mr. Ludwig, I didnât think that
youâd be so thick-skinned!â
