The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2038 Come and Accompany Me

Everyone was shocked, and Mitchell suddenly shouted, "Oh no, Little Young Master Chance is inside!"

Eric was also shocked and glanced at Mitchell coldly.

Mitchell's face turned pale. "You told me not to let him out, so I asked Young Master Chance to play by himself after the memorial service. He got tired, so I let him sleep here. But I didn't light any fire, and I didn't close the door..."

He quickly explained, but no one listened.

Eric looked up with a livid face. His whole body was tense.

"Nicole, come down now..."

He gritted his teeth.

Eric knew that someone might have deliberately created this chaos, but their purpose was probably not to involve Nicole in it.

Nicole's face was pale. The cold wind was howling, rattling her clothes.

She brushed away a strand of hair that was dangling at the corner of her mouth. It dropped again when she breathed.

Fortunately, Nicole managed to jump off the railing smoothly, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

She did not dare to look below.

Nicole opened the window from the outside, and the smoke inside rushed out.

Sure enough, a child was kneeling in front of the window. His eyes were red, and he was out of breath from crying, However, he could not make a sound.

His pitiful appearance made Nicole feel sympathetic. His breathing also began to weaken.

If Nicole did not save him in time, he would probably be suffocated by the thick smoke.

She paused and thought that she had seen him before.

He was the kid who played with Levi at school that day, Eric's son.

Nicole did not have time to think. She stretched out her hand and said softly," Come on! Give me your hand!"

Chance cried until he had no strength. He did not expect that someone would save him.

He silently called for help many times and called "Daddy" countless times, but no one came.

When he saw Nicole, he looked at her like she was his savior.

He stretched out his hands, and Nicole used her strength to pick him up and carried him out of the window.

Eric's subordinates had already gone in to put out the fire.

A tall ladder was also placed on the balcony.

Someone was holding onto the ladder from below.

It was Eric.

Eric watched from the balcony :b&=UMT< closely watched Nicole's movements.

"Come down. Be careful..."

Nicole could not go down the ladder with the boy in her arms, so she asked the boy to go down first.

The boy had no strength to cry. More importantly, he did not make a sound when he cried.

He shivered as he grabbed onto the ladder.

Eric frowned. His tone was impatient and cold.

"Why are you crying?"

Mitchell glanced at Eric and hurriedly climbed up to hold onto Chance. He slowly carried the boy down the ladder.

"Little Young Master, don't be afraid. This is all my fault..."

Mitchell was really frightened.

Although Eric did not like Chance, Chance was still the eldest grandson of the Ferguson family. Thus, his status was naturally different.

If something happened to Chance, Mitchell would not be able to bear the consequences.

Nicole got down the ladder. Someone held her at the last step.

Eric was initially standing there, but his spot was taken by Grant.

Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.

Grant patted the dirt from her clothes.

"Are you okay?"

Nicole nodded.

Someone fetched Nicole's high heels for her.

Just as Eric was about to take them, Grant was one step ahead and took them over.

Grant breathed a sigh of relief and put the heels at Nicole's feet.

"You're so impulsive! You're lucky this time. Will you be so lucky every time?!"

Nicole also felt scared.

Fortunately, the fire was small and did not affect the adjacent room.

Otherwise, Nicole would also be trapped there.

Nicole frowned slightly and looked at Eric.

"Mr. Ferguson, it's Old Master Ferguson's funeral today, yet you allowed such a big mess to happen?"

Eric did not reply and stood there silently.

"Thank you."

Nicole pursed her lips. "It's getting late. Shall we head back, Big Brother?"

Grant nodded.

They immediately said goodbye to Eric.

Eric watched Nicole's slender figure leave with a gloomy face, and he stood there looking unapproachable.

Ingrid came out of the building in front and saw the scene.

"What's going on?"

Eric glanced at her indifferently and said in a cold tone, "You'd better have nothing to do with this matter. Or else..."

Ingrid froze as soon as she heard this.

"Or else what? Am I not miserable enough? If it wasn't for Grandpa's funeral, would you have locked me up for the rest of my life?!"

The crowd gradually dispersed.

The fire was also put out.

Many guests saw this scene from the front garden.

Eric did not speak and turned around silently.

He instructed Mitchell, "Find out the cause of this."

Mitchell nodded.

Chance had been taken to the hospital just now, but Mitchell did not follow Chance without Eric's consent.

Cheryl gracefully walked down the stairs in the front and took Gerard's arm.

"Brother, let's go and comfort Mr. Ferguson?"

Gerard pursed his lips and sniffled.

"Forget it. He's fuming now, so what's the use of comforting him?"

"Fuming?"

Cheryl frowned. She was puzzled as she thought, 'Shouldn't Eric be sad at this time?'

Gerard said, "Let's go."

"We don't need to say goodbye?"

"No need."

"Okay."

Cheryl followed Gerard.

Just as Gerard was about to get in the car, he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Cheryl.

"I recalled that you were gone for a while earlier. Where did you go?"

Cheryl clenched her fists for a moment to hide her nervousness. She pretended to be calm.

"I-1 didn't go anywhere... I just went to the bathroom."

Gerard looked at his sister, pursed his lips, and touched her hair.

"Cheryl, don't even think about him. Some people are just out of your league. If you think too much, you'll only get hurt. You're a smart and sensible girl, so you won't be like the other trust fund babies in the circle, right?"

Cheryl was triggered by Gerard's words. Her face turned pale.

She did not know if her brother saw anything. Gerard, who had always pampered her, suddenly said this.

Did he see through her thoughts?

Did he replace out?

Cheryl's scalp felt numb, and she nodded slightly.

Gerard smiled and got out of the way.

Get in the car."

Cheryl pretended to be calm and got into the car.

As soon as Nicole arrived home, the thank you gift from the Ferguson family was delivered to her door.

Nicole looked at it and saw that there was nothing out of proportion.

If Eric had given her any more rings and necklaces, she would throw them out.

Grant sent Nicole home and went to the office by himself.

After all, they could only afford to have one slacker in the family. He still had to work hard to make money.

Nicole went back to take a nap and heard the phone ringing in a daze.

She thought that Clayton called her.

When she picked it up, she heard a woman crying on the phone for a while.

"Nicole, can you come over and accompany me?"

Nicole woke up and thought about it for a while. She asked tentatively, "Tina?"

"Mm."

Nicole paused.

She was not that close to Tina.

Nicole thought that Tina would be busy with the divorce and would not be in the mood to hang out.

Why did Tina suddenly call her over?

Nicole did not want to get involved in Tina's marital affairs. She was not close to Tina, so she might be in an awkward position if she gave the wrong advice.

No matter what, Nicole wanted to replace an excuse to reject Tina.
