Chapter 213 She’s Lying
Eric was curious why his lost ring would be in Nicole’s possession. Nicole’s eyes flickered slightly. She
was obviously unwilling to answer this irritating question.
However, she was even more unwilling to get entangled with Eric Ferguson. She simply told him.
“I thought you knew…” You should know.’ “This ring was returned to me one morning by Wendy Quade.
She said that you had too much to drink the night before and slept at her place, then casually just threw it
aside. So, she personally returned it to me.”
Nicole would probably never forget that confrontation. That was the first time that Nicole felt such despair
about their marriage. Nicole was lost in sadness, depression, and anger back then.
Luckily, she managed to walk out of that darkness in time. Looking at the flicker of confusion and pain in
his eyes, Nicole sneered with contempt. ‘Perhaps I was mistaken.
Eric Ferguson is a cold-blooded animal without feelings. How could he feel any pain because of me?
Even if he did have any feelings, they’re not for me. What’s the point?’ Nicole glanced at him with cold
indifference.
“Mr. Ferguson, you must’ve hated me three years ago. My gift must’ve been a burden, so there’s no
need to give you the ring again…”
Nicole felt that it was ridiculous when she said it out loud. “No.” His voice was extremely low. The
emotions in Eric’s eyes shattered a little.
His body was tense, and the air pressure around him was extremely low. It was frighteningly cold.
Eric could not even recall when he had spent the night at Wendy Quade’s place after drinking This never
happened, so it was all Wendy Quade’s lies.
Eric’s chest surged with pent-up anger. This damned liar Wendy Quade! I really shouldn’t have been so
kind to her!’ He frowned tightly Eric hurriedly spoke.
“She’s lying… I definitely didn’t spend the night at her place, much less find her after drinking…” His
heart was in a panic. Nicole smiled faintly and was unconcerned.
“Is that so?” She obviously did not believe him. However, she did not want to go into it. No one could
prove how true it was. Moreover, she was no longer interested in what happened between them back
then.
The rest of Eric’s words were suddenly stuck in his throat. Nicole did not care for his explanation. “I know
you hate me. Nicole, if there’s a better way to compensate you, I’d like to.”
Eric’s voice was low. His gaze was deep as he looked at her. He stopped talking even though there was
more he wanted to say to her.
However, he could only say so much to her at this moment. Nicole hooked the corner of her lips
indifferently. She did not take his words to heart at all.
“The fact that you can agree to my conditions is already a very good compensation. When this project is
done, we won’t owe each other anymore.”
