Chapter 28

Eric Ferguson quickly left the table,

leaving Keith stupefied as he received

hostile glares from Nicole’s friends.

The taut SL.lflg in Keith’s heart suddenly

snapped,

Keith felt that those people led by Yvette

just wanted to eat him alive.

‘Eric left me like that’?

Aren’t we bros?‘

Keith looked at the people in front of him

and bit his lower lip as he spoke with no

dignity, “Can you please spare me this

time?“

The whole group said in unison, “No!”

Downstairs.

Nicole came out from the side door where there was no crowd. She had just

sent a text to her big brother, so his driver

should be arriving soon. She also sent

Yvette a message.

“Nicole…”

A raspy voice called her name as Eric’s

tall and brawny figure stood at the side

door. Nicole was stunned for a moment,

then immediately put on her aloof and

guarded look.

Noticing her change in expression, Eric

lowered his eyes slightly.

“What’s the matter, Mr. Ferguson?”

The light at the side door was dim and

elongated their shadows. When Eric took

a step forward, Nicole took a step back,

establishing a clear boundary between

them.

Eric smirked and threw the lit cigarette in

his hand aside. He continued to approach her and stared at her closely. “Nicole. Ingrid provoked you

first at the restaurant, so I’ll get her to apologize to you” Nicole lowered her eyes and laughed for a

momei”. Suddenly, she stopped smiling and looked so cold with a trace of derision in her eyes.

“There’s no need for that. Just watch your family properly.” The restaurant incident was not the only

thing they needed to apologize for anyway. Nicole no longer cared for their apologies Eric frowned

slightly and wanted to say something, but a frantic scream coming from the door interrupted him. When

he looked over, he saw a butt-naked Keith

running out with his hands covering hi’; lace He was so humiliated and desperate that his voice

cracked. “I won’t let vou get away with this!” When Keith got to the door, there was a flash o. light. The

naked man stopped in

his tracks and was shocked to see Eric

and Nicole standing next to him.

He was ashamed and vexed as he pointed at Nicole with his trembling arm. He even wanted to cry.

“You…you even took a picture?!” NlCOI€ looked at the picture on her phone with satisfaction. It was not

blurry and the angle was just nice to capture everything. It was simply perfect! She gently hooked the

corners of her lips and glanced at Keith provocatively. “Mr. Ludwig, it’s a pity if no one recorded

your entertaining performance, so i purposely waited tor you here ” Nicole knew that Keith would not

have the guts to leave through the front door. and there was only one side door in this bar “You…

you…” Keith was so exasperated that he became speechless and covered his private parts with both

hands.

Nicole’s gaze was cold and her tone was

stern as she said, “lf you dare to mess

with me again, I’ll post this photo for the

whole world to see!”

‘Does he think that I’m the same stupid

woman from three years ago? How dare h

e mess with me?’

As soon as Nicole turned around, Grant

Stanton’s driver was waiting by the

roadside. The driver bowed politely and

waited patiently for Nicole to finish her

business.

Nicole did not even glance at Eric and

bypassed him, then sat inside Grant’s

luxury car. The car gradually drove out of

sight, and only then did Eric withdraw his

gaze.

Somehow, Eric felt uncomfortable seeing

that Nicole’s face was unmoved and filled

with mockery without the slightest hint of

shyness or evasion when Keith ran out naked.

However, when Eric looked back at the

events tonight, from Nicole’s violin

performance on stage to the poker dice

game, his original impression of the well

behaved and quiet Nicole suddenly

changed. Every move she made was

such a mystery. lt felt like there was a

thin layer of fog that surrounded her,

making it increasingly impossible to see

through her. Thinking of this, the bottom o

f Eric’s heart became irritable again.

Seeing Keith standing there staring at

Nicole’s departed car, Eric could not help

but frown. He tossed the iacket in his

hand on Keith’s head and said, “Let’s go! D

o you not feel ashamed?”
