The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 637 Chicken Soup for the Soul

Eric's gaze deepened as his face turned unbearably glum. "Satisfied?"

His intention was simply to complicate their relationship a little more.

It was best if they were so entangled with each other that they could not explain clearly.

However, Nicole actually spelled it out clearly.

His chest felt very stuffy.

Thinking of the scene when Nicole played a piano duet with Clayton last night and even won the couple's prize which he paid for, Eric could hardly control his outburst.

Eric, who had always been great at scheming, thought, 'What did I get in this?!'

Nicole smiled, revealing her shallow dimples and a bit of pride.

"In such moments, I didn't forget the principle of making money together. I saw that your Ferguson Corporation's stock has gone up a lot. Your sales this season have been driven up too. Mr. Ferguson, you can't say that I'm stingy. This is a solid thank you gift!"

Grant listened on the side and almost laughed out loud. 'Haha, my sister's so practical! If I were Eric Ferguson, I'd have fainted on the spot...'

Eric and Nicole unconsciously glanced at Grant, somewhat dissatisfied with his reaction.

Grant raised his eyebrows and looked at his phone seriously. "Naha... Chicken soup for the soul... This is too funny..."

The other two people were speechless and did not fall for Grant's excuse.

Eric shifted back his line of sight to Nicole. His eyes were dark and deep, and his voice was playful.

"So, according to what you just said, I still have to thank you?"

Nicole raised an eyebrow and waved her hand. "No need. You're welcome."

Eric's face was red with anger, and his eyes were cold. "Did Clayton Sloan give you this idea?"

Nicole recollected her smile and met his gaze. Her voice was clear and cold.

"Don't drag others into this. Just thank me."

"You're protecting him?"

"I don't have to. I'm just talking about facts." Nicole folded her arms. Her attitude was clear and cold.

Eric's pupils shrank. Nicole was obviously trying to rid Clayton of any relationship to this matter.

He took out his phone, found the video, and threw it on the table.

"You play the piano pretty well. When will you play a song for me too?"

Nicole narrowed her eyes.

Suddenly, she understood where Eric's irritation came from.

'Heh, he's jealous? How inexplicable!'

Nicole laughed. It was a smile that caused a momentary trance.

"Mr. Ferguson, when you get married, I'll play you a song as a guest at your wedding."

Nicole wanted to piss him off.

Eric abruptly stood up. His face changed dramatically. The chill coming from his body was bitterly intense, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Nicole!"

The fire in his heart burned him and caused severe pain all over his body, but this woman still liked to stick knives into his wounds. Nicole met his gaze with a shallow smile.

On the side, Grant cleared his throat and gave a warning glance to Eric.

"Mr. Ferguson, don't be impulsive. Talk properly."

'How dare he yell at my sister in front of me? That can't happen on my watch!' Grant thought.

Grant saw the video and turned to ask Nicole, "Why'd you suddenly feel like playing the piano?"

Nicole raised her eyebrows and looked nonchalant.

"I just played casually and happened to meet Mr.

Sloan to duet with me. Oh, right... Mr. Ferguson, your grand prize is really generous. I can't believe you even waived the bill!" Nicole flashed a wry smile.

Grant glanced at Eric. "Waived the bill?"

Nicole hooked her lips. "Of course, I won't miss this kind of opportunity to get free shopping! Right, Mr. Ferguson?"

'So, she just happened to meet Clayton Sloan? It's not a deliberate appointment?' Eric thought.

Eric frowned. His voice was clear and cold. "So, you lied about being a couple in order to get your shopping bill waived?"

He keenly caught the main point.

Grant also looked at Nicole, who pursed her lips and smiled. "Well, I spent more than $50 million..."

Once Grant heard this, he was slightly stunned. 'No wonder!'

Grant knew his sister's little temper well.

Nicole generally did not shop much, but once she was in the mood, she had the tendency to buy the entire mall of goods and get them delivered home. Previously, Nicole even bought a small island, but she did not even visit it once.
