The Divorced Billionaire Heiress chapter 191
Nicole and Julie went back to the banquet hall. Everyone started to mingle and laugh with each other.
It was as if that little episode earlier did not exist at all.
Knowing Nicole’s identity, no one dared to force her to drink. They only exchanged some pleasantries
and kept their distance.
Nicole felt a little tired, so she walked to a small balcony where it was quiet and peaceful. She looked out
through the window and saw the glimmering lights reflecting on a lake not far away. She could also smell
a nice floral fragrance.
Just when she finally felt relaxed, she heard footsteps approaching.
“Nicole, why are you here?“ It was Keith Ludwig.
Nicole’s relaxed face instantly had a hint of displeasure. She cast a cold sidelong glance at him. “ Do I
need your permission to be somewhere?“
‘Otherwise, stop being so nosy!’
Keith braced himself and decided to go over to say a few words for his friend. “Nicole, I didn’t mean that.
That watch earlier… Why didn’t you get it for Eric? He waited for you all night at his birthday party, but
you didn’t come…“
He muttered, “Poor Eric…“
Nicole laughed coldly and gave him a look. ‘When have I ever said that the watch was for Eric
Ferguson? How ridiculous! Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?’
“Keith Ludwig, why are you guys so full of yourselves? Why should I go to some stranger’s birthday
party? Why would I buy a gift for someone I hate?“
‘Shouldn’t they at least figure that out by now?’ Nicole thought.
Keith was just about to speak when he saw a familiar figure coming out from behind the curtains where
Nicole was standing.
He opened his mouth and shut it instantly. A flash of shock and frustration crossed his eyes.
‘Sh*t… This is bad…’ Keith thought. “Hate? Do you hate me?“
Nicole’s body stiffened slightly when she heard that voice and turned back in surprise.
Somehow, Nicole was completely unaware that Eric had been standing there in front of her this entire
time. It was just that he was covered by the floor-to- ceiling curtains.
Eric looked at Nicole with a complicated gaze, but his voice was surprisingly calm.
Nicole averted her gaze and curled her lips slightly. “ Here I thought that I’ve shown my hatred very
clearly, but it seems that you didn’t feel it, Mr. Ferguson?“
Since Eric had already heard it, she did not plan to cover it up and simply admitted it.
It was good for everyone to be on the same page after all.
Keith stood there awkwardly and already regretted going up to Nicole to ask about these. ‘How good
would it be if all of this never happened?’
He coughed, closed his eyes, and quietly left the scene.
Keith felt like he had just fallen into hell!
Eric’s gaze was tightly locked on Nicole’s side profile.
His heart sank as he thought, ‘Hate me? That’s an unpleasant answer… But then again, she has so
many reasons to hate me… Even I’m starting to hate myself
There were no outsiders around, and no one would dare to deliberately eavesdrop on their conversation.
Eric hooked the corners of his lips and laughed self- deprecatingly. “Nicole, no matter what I do, it seems
like you won’t forgive me, right?“
Nicole glanced at him weirdly.
