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?!” NlCO|€ 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?”
