Chapter 1400

Unreconciled



There seemed to be no noise around. The person in front of Nicole stared at her with dim eyes.
Nicole’s gaze was extremely calm and cold. She could feel Eric’s change. However, it just did not have
any effect on her anymore. Just looking at Eric and thinking about the past made her sad. Now, there
was someone in her life who could make her laugh. Nicole yearned for happiness even more.

She pondered for a few seconds before speaking in a light tone. “ I have a boyfriend now, you know
that. Even if I didn’t, I will never go back to you.” Eric was silent for a moment before sneering. “ I know.
It’s just a boyfriend. You can get divorced after marriage, let alone if you’re not married yet. Other
people still have a chance, right?” Nicole frowned. Just as she was about to say something, she
suddenly heard Julie’ s voice from the side. “Nicole…” Nicole looked over, and Julie waved at her. It
seemed like it was something urgent. She immediately stood up.

“Excuse me.” Nicole did not want to continue with this topic anyway. Eric did not stop her. He just
picked up the glass of wine on the table and gently took a sip. The side of his face was cold, and his
gaze was dark. Nicole walked over. “You just arrived?” Julie nodded. “Yvette will bring her boyfriend
along later, so I’m the only single one. I didn’t expect to see you chatting with Mr. Ferguson.



What, has he still not given up yet?” Nicole smiled indifferently. “People always want the things they
can’ t obtain the most. Who would believe it if he said that he was wholehearted and sincere?” Julie
heard the cold words and was stunned.

“You really…” She instantly felt a little heartache for Eric. Nicole always used reason to look at people
she did not care about, so she could objectively speculate on the dark state of Eric’s mind to comfort



her determination to leave.







However, everyone knew that in this game of divorce, the most wounded person was Mr. Ferguson.
Nevertheless, Julie did not say anything. She knew that Nicole and Clayton hit it off and naturally
hoped that their relationship would only get better.

“By the way, I heard that a special guest is coming today.” Julie leaned in and spoke. Nicole turned her
head. “What special guest?” Julie pursed her lips and shook her head. “Mrs. Carter’s sister was
bragging earlier that her son Rley is coming back from abroad…” Nicole smiled. “That trust fund kid?”
Riley was Ian ‘s cousin who did not even graduate from high school because of a fight that left him with
a criminal record.

He was forced to study abroad after being expelled, but he was expelled from the school abroad after
two years as well. However, he still mingled in the elite circles abroad. It was probably by relying on the
Carter family’s reputation. The Carter family’s prestige being lowered was mostly thanks to the credit of
Mrs. Carter’s younger sister, Claire. The other half was because of Claire’s son, Rley.

Although Ian was not much of a genius when it came to business, his character and personality had
always been loved. Riley was different. He had such a nasty energy in his bones. He bullied girls, had
no respect for others, and was just a shameful bum. When he caused trouble in school in the past,
Claire had stopped him.



However, there was once where he bullied a young girl that did not have a good family background. He
took naked pictures of her and blackmailed her not to say anything. Not long after, the girl became
pregnant and went to him, but he refused to acknowledge her. The girl’s family reported it to the police,
and when the police went to find him, Claire tried to use money to solve the problem. Just when the two
sides were about to negotiate a settlement, Rley ran over to humiliate the girl, who took things too hard
and jumped down from the school rooftop. Two lives were lost in one body.
