Chapter 41 He Old It on Purpose
The lights flickered.
Nicole gently shook the glass of wine and
stood in front of the railing on the second
floor. She watched the pretentious
exchange of pleasantries of the people
below.
Eric, who was walking over not far away,
looked up at that instant and suddenly
met Nicole’s clear and cold gaze,
Nicole faintly retracted her gaze and
ignored the discomfort in her heart.
That kiss on the dance floor earlier made the
crowd gasp. No one cared which of them
actually made the wrong move at the end
of the dance. They were just waiting for a
good show to happen between the ex
couple.
Any reactlon on either of them would
to endless speculation.
Thus, at the moment their lips touched.
Nicole instantly turned her face to the
side. Fortunately, the music stopped and
she drew back in time. She glanced coldly
at Eric and turned away without looking
back. Keith was joking with several people
around Eric. After sending them away, he
let out a sigh of relief and looked at Eric.
who had a cold and noble temperament.
Keith frowned when he remembered the
scene earlier and subconsciously blurted
out. “You did that on purpose during the
dance, right?‘ Others might not be able to tell, but he
knew that Nicole’s beat was on point. The
problem was with Eric.
Eric grew up in the gentry circle and
received elite education on all sorts of
social etiquette. How could he be slow to
react during the dance’
‘Could it be intentional?‘ Keith thought.
Eric’s dark eyes swept over Keith His
face was taut as he said, “No ”
“That’s good Don’t even think about that
woman I think I lost my mind to think so
That woman must’ve done it on purpose
Hmph! She surely is good at scheming”
Of course, Keith believed his best friend’s
words unconditionally.
Thus, those seeds of doubt disappeared l
n an instant
The second floor of the banquet hall
Grant was networking elsewhere while
Nicole felt bored and looked around
Suddenly, she saw someone waving at
her from the doorway. The corners of her
lips curved up into a smile as she waved
back in response Ian Carter soon arrived i
n front of her
“Carter, you’re late…”
Ian leaned nonchalantly on the railing
looking relaxed and unrestrained. “Well, I
come whenever I want to. if l hadn’t
heard that you were here too, I wouldn’t
have bothered to attend such an event.”
“Don’t even. I know that your lather
forced you to come.” Nicole rolled her
eyes at him
lan was not the least bit embarrassed
after getting exposed by Nicole He lust
grinned and sand, “My purpose rs always
you.”
Nicole wanted to say something when
she inadvertently saw the people walking
towards her Her face sank unhappily.
‘Nicole, are you shameless? You’re
already divorced from my brother, yet you
still try to seduce him? Do you still want t
o marry into our famrly? I’ll tell you now
that our family will never accept a woman
like you! ‘Urgh, what kind of sh*tty luck do I have
tonight?
Everyone I hate just keeps
popping up… Ingrid came over with her
groupies trying to show me who’s boss?’
Nicole thought. Nicole had been in the limelight today,
especially after that kiss. Everyone began
to speculate about the ‘reunion of the
century‘ of this rich ex-couple.
‘Remarriage? Nicole can dream on!‘ Ingrid
thought.
Ingrid Ferguson was more agitated than”:
anyone else. Ii it were not for her status a
s Young Lady Ferguson, she would have
jumped up and cursed at Nicole. ‘How is
this shameless lowly woman worthy? Her
dress should’ve been mine! This eyesore
stole my moment of glory! Stupid Nicole
took away all my attention!‘
Nicole swept a glance at Ingrid and the
few ladies behind her. Besides Ingrid, the
others did not look so hostile and were
probably dragged over as backup. ‘Ha! How childish” Nicole thought.
‘Yo, who’s this with the foul mouth?“ Ian
looked at Ingrid with a cold smile. Whoever dared to bully Nicole in front of
him was dead meat regardless of gender
Ingrid turned pale and fiercely glared at
Ian. “What does it have to do with you?
Are you her lover?‘ WIan was delighted. ‘Her lover? I like this
identity.’
Nicole suddenly felt a headache because
of the noise. She helplessly glanced at
Ian with a warning intent. ‘Shut it.“
Nicole suddenly felt a headache because

She helplessly glanced at
Ian with a warning intent. ‘Shut it.”
She then swept an indifferent glance at
Ingrid “Ms. Ferguson, what do you want?
Ingrid arrogantly lifted her chin and said.
Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to.
I know you kissed my brother on purpose
just now. Do you want my brother to fall
for you? Dream on!”
