The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 216 Had Enough of Pretending to Be Sick

Nicole thought, 'Chloe had a crush on lan for ten years? No wonder she's so aggressive and resentful towards me...'

She looked at Chloe's stiff and collapsed face and felt a little sorry for her.

Nicole sympathized with this woman, but she did not regret anything.

She looked at Chloe seriously. "Ms. Snyder, please don't impose your emotional failure on me. Your fruitless crush and lan's dislike for you aren't caused by me. I am also not a third party who destroyed your relationship, so I'm not obligated to accept your condemnation."

It was not like whoever was most pitiful had the advantage.

Nicole and Chloe were not the same.

Although they both had unrequited love for someone, at least Nicole had tried to fight for it. She had anticipated Eric's feelings openly before.

On the other hand, Chloe had never fought for lan's love in the past ten years.

"But he likes you..." Chloe glared at Nicole.

Nicole shook her head. "Ms. Snyder, can you please be more reasonable? So what if he likes me? What did I do wrong? Your love for him is unrequited, so why don't you let him go?"

Why did Chloe have to replace some ridiculous excuse for not getting her way?

Chloe had to put all the blame on Nicole just so that she could feel better about herself?

What kind of bullsh*t thinking is that?

Nicole used to think that Chloe would be an honest and decent person since she was so revered in the business world.

She did not expect Chloe to be so nasty and underhanded.

Nicole did not want to continue babbling with her.

"Ms. Snyder, our conversation can end here. If you want, I can ask lan out for you so that you can just be open with him. We're all adults, so you should be able to accept whatever the results may be. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, there's no point in wasting everyone's time. What do you think?"

Nicole thought that her proposal was the most appropriate.

Rather than Chloe doing everything unilaterally without ever knowing if she had any hope, it would be much better to be open about it and get a clear answer.

A momentary hesitation flashed in Chloe's eyes, but it disappeared in just an instant. "You just want to embarrass me in front of him, don't you?"

Once Nicole heard this, she knew that there was nothing else she could say to Chloe.

Nicole shrugged her shoulders. Her eyes were slightly cold. 'Forget it... She doesn't appreciate it...'

"Then just do whatever you please. I've already done my part. You can't interfere with the business here, and you have no place in this market."

Chloe would not get anything if she stayed.

Nicole's send-off was simply too obvious.

There was no place for Chloe Snyder in West City.

Chloe's gaze was cold and stern as she glared viciously at Nicole.

She had such a strong aura. The air pressure around her was very low.

Chloe said, "Fine. Then don't blame me for being ungracious."

Nicole raised her eyebrows and met Chloe's gaze without fear.

'Since when has Chloe been gracious in the first place? I

"Logan, send off our guest."

Chloe Snyder was strangely quiet for a while.

Logan brought news that Chloe had gone back to her company's headquarters in Cali.

Nicole felt a little surprised. 'She went back just like that? That's unexpected... But that's also good for me. I can finally have some peace and quiet...'

At a business cocktail party.

Nicole and Yvette attended the party together.

Coincidentally, they ran into lan and his mother, Gillian.

Gillian was obviously stunned when she saw Nicole.

However, Gillian quickly regained composure and went forward with a smile to take her hand. "Nicole, I've missed you these days. I asked lan to invite you over many times. Why didn't you come to visit us?" Nicole thought to herself, 'That's because I don't wanna replace trouble for myself...'

However, Nicole still behaved graciously. She looked s o glamorous as she smiled perfunctorily. "Mrs. Carter, I've been busy recently. Not to mention, lan's sick, so he should rest properly." Gillian saw that there were no hard feelings on Nicole's face, so she breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to bring up "The Blazing Sun" again, but she was too embarrassed to do so.

Nicole also did not mention it on her own accord.

Thus, Gillian could only endure the heartache and regret silently.

After some pleasantries, they finally turned the page.

lan came over, so Gillian excused herself.

Nicole finally took off her fake smile and rolled her eyes at lan. "Have you had enough of pretending to be sick?"

lan flashed a devilish smile. He looked so suave and frivolous. "Miss me?"
