The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 616 Taking Advantage of Someone in Peril

After Nicole left Eric's room, she did not forget about work and went downstairs to replace Dominic Young.

This matter was kept confidential. Aside from Dominic's various speculations, others did not know what had happened exactly.

Sadie and Charlotte's agency officially submitted a withdrawal statement that was probably arranged by Eric.

They were discussing who to hire to save the show and reduce losses.

They filmed all day yesterday and had already replaced two people. Fortunately, it was only one day, so they could still hire new people to make up for the shoot in time.

However, Nicole did not want to participate in the make-up shoot. Playing the same games again deliberately would feel too fake.

It might also backfire with Nicole's acting skills because she was not as professional as the actors.

Dominic contacted a divorced actress, Zahra, who was a bigwig in the entertainment industry that could not be hired for regular variety shows.

Somehow, Dominic managed to persuade Zahra to come, and she even agreed to try it out for two days.

The other actress was a 25-year-old actress called Ivanka, who Kai contacted for Nicole. Ivanka had been together with her husband for 7 years, and they were the typical model couple in showbiz.

A few days ago, Ivanka's husband cheated on her. Ivanka chose to bear with it and even announced that she believed in her husband. This move was strongly scorned by netizens at the time. It was just self-deception.

Currently, Ivanka still did not expose her divorce.

Thus, her participation in this variety show was a way to announce her divorce positively. That would be a better use of the hype than letting the paparazzi or others expose it.

It was a win-win situation for both parties.

Everyone was relieved when the two replacements were arranged and promised to come on set in a few days.

Dominic intended to shoot the other parts first to facilitate post-production editing.

Nicole returned to her room and simply washed up.

She took out her phone and saw the several missed calls from Yvette.

Nicole frowned and thought, 'When did I mute my phone?'

She immediately dialed back, and her call was picked up in less than two rings.

"You finally picked up! I was so worried..."

Yvette said with urgency, "Are you alright? Is that bottle of wine spiked? Did Eric Ferguson do anything to you?"

Nicole paused in her footsteps. When she heard about the wine, some images suddenly flashed in her mind.

'Right... I was on a video call with Yvette when I was drinking...'

Soon after, Nicole frowned in bewilderment.

"How did Eric Ferguson get to my room?"

Yvette felt a little guilty and choked on her words.

She stammered, "Uh... I-I was afraid that something would happen to you. I was too worried, so I asked him to check on you... I was afraid that the woman spiked the wine..." Nicole was shocked for a moment. 'So, Eric was the one who took care of me last night and quietly left?'

If not for Yvette, Nicole would not have known about it.

Eric did not even mention it.

A strange feeling crossed her heart like she was tickled by a feather.

Yvette saw that Nicole was silent and guessed that her suspicion was right.

"It's really spiked?!"

Yvette looked up at the clear blue sky and the white clouds as she pinched her brows. 'I'm such a psychic! Nicole was really drugged!'

She instantly regretted not rushing over to save Nicole. She should not have given Eric Ferguson a chance.

"OMG... Did that son of a b*tch Eric Ferguson defile you?!"

Once those words came out, both ends of the phone were silent for a while.

Nicole slowly exhaled. Her tone was as calm and steady as possible. "Don't worry, there was only a trace of hallucinogens in the wine. I'm fine. He didn't do anything..." Someone like Eric would not take advantage of someone in peril.

Yvette breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good... If he dares to do anything, I'll chop him up to pieces!"

Nicole laughed and joked, "Just spare his worthless life."
