The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)

Chapter 2073 The Deal Was Made

After a long time, Gerard looked shocked, and he could not calm down.

Gerard's voice was dry and hoarse.

"So, you just let her set the place on fire and watched silently, huh?"

Cheryl was startled. She subconsciously shook her head.

"I... I wanted to save Chance, but Nicole had already rushed in. Right! I wanted to save Chance, but I

was one step too late!"

Gerard looked at his sister with complicated eyes.

Was she still the proud and confident Cheryl Lichman that he knew?

When Cheryl spoke, she dodged his gaze.

She was lying, and she was guilty.

Gerard thought of this and felt like his head was covered by a layer of haze. He only felt a chill in his

heart.

If it only involved Cheryl, this matter would be relatively simple.

However, Cheryl was so stupid to get involved with Ingrid.

Eric would never let Cheryl get away with it like how he would cover for Ingrid.

Gerard paused, looked at Cheryl for a full minute, stood up, and turned to leave.

"Brother, will you help me?"

Gerard paused. He did not speak and walked out.

He wanted to help Cheryl, but that would depend on whether Eric would let this slide.

This matter lasted for around three days.

No one knew how Gerard managed to beg Eric to get Cheryl released.

Gerard sent Cheryl abroad, and she could never return to Mediania.

Although Cheryl was reluctant at first, Gerard was firm in his decision.

Moreover, Eric's lawyer asked Cheryl to sign a document acknowledging that Eric reserved the right to

prosecute her about Chance’s injury.

Cheryl studied law, so she was aware of the document’s validity.

This was equivalent to Eric holding something over her.

If Eric was unhappy, he could take it out and ruin Cheryl's future.

However, Cheryl had no other choice.

Gerard had already given up a lot of benefits to reach such a result.

The deal went through.

Stanton Corporation.

Nicole had just finished a meeting and planned to video call Chatty when Logan pushed the door open

and came in.

"President, someone wants to see you. It's Zach Gilbert."

Nicole narrowed her eyes. "I don't want to see him."

"He brought a document that Tina signed before she died. He said that he’s willing to fulfill the contents

of the document.”

Nicole paused, frowned, ?f!

Why would Zach suddenly change his mind? NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Although Kirsi’s reputation as a homewrecker was made viral, her career had been stagnant for quite

some time, so the rumors had little effect on her.

Nicole could not figure out what dirty tricks this cheating couple had up their sleeves.

Shane stayed in the corner of the office and was usually like an invisible person.

Clayton was also extraordinarily tolerant of Shane's existence.

Clayton usually could not tolerate other men coveting Nicole. However, Shane would not covet Nicole.

To Shane, there were only two types of people - those he could kill and those he could not.

Zach came in with a smiling face.

"Ms. Stanton...”

He saw Shane standing behind Nicole with such a gloomy and intimidating vibe, as if he could instantly

press him to the ground.

Zach paused for a moment and instantly became more humble.

"Ms. Stanton, I came here to look for you.”

Zach licked his lips and went straight to the subject.

He took out the document and handed it over to Nicole carefully.

“I agree with this document. I have long wanted to cooperate with you, Ms. Stanton."

Nicole glanced at it expressionlessly.

"Mr. Gilbert, why did you suddenly change your mind?”

"What do you mean by that? I have always admired you, Ms. Stanton. This time..."

Zach paused. His face paled slightly. "Kirsi and I have caused you trouble. In fact, I have no feelings for

that woman, but since she's pregnant with my child, I can't just sit back and watch."

Nicole raised her eyes. "So, you killed Tina?"

Zach Gilbert instantly stiffened and widened his eyes in shock.

"I... I didn't! How could I kill someone?

Didn't you kill Tina?"

Nicole’s expression turned glum, and she looked at him with complicated eyes.

Shane, who was behind Nicole, took a step forward and inadvertently put his hand on his waist.

Zach's pupils instantly shrank. He was so frightened that his lips turned white.

The shape of the weapon attached to Shane’s waist made Zach's legs go soft when he saw it.

Zach gulped and calmed himself with all his might. He even slapped himself twice.

"It's my mistake, Ms. Stanton. Tina was my wife. I wouldn't kill her even if I didn't have a conscience.

We were high school sweethearts, so even if we fell out of love, we're still family..."

"That's enough, Mr. Gilbert. Who asked you to come here?"

Nicole asked bluntly.

"Kirsi... She said that she interacted with you before and told me not to go against you. If I’ve done

anything to offend you in the past, please forgive me."

Zach was frank. He trembled as he stood there to explain.

However, Nicole did not care.

Nicole glanced at the document and hooked her lips.

"Since you're willing to execute the contract, I will ask my lawyer to follow up with you. When the time

comes, these, including the property you have already transferred, will be re-liquidated. Do you have

any problems with this, Mr. Gilbert?"

Zach was stunned for a while.

The corners of his mouth twitched. "No.-No problem..."

Zach did not expect Nicole to know about the property he had already transferred.

This meant that Tina was also aware.

Thinking about it now, Gilbert realized that Tina's death seemed to be beneficial to him.

Zach was upset in the days after Tina died.

Now, he was glad that she had died.

Nicole glanced at Logan, who asked Zach to leave.

Why did Kirsi ask Zach to be amiable with Nicole?

Nicole was puzzled.

In the evening, Clayton sent Nicole a message saying that he was entertaining some guests and would

only go home later.

Nicole was very pleased that Clayton reported his schedule to her on his own initiative, so she did not

urge him to come home.

Nicole was still upset about Tina's death, so

she was not in the mood to hang out these days.

She simply went back to the Stanton Mansion to see Chatty.

Chatty was a carefree soul in the mansion. She wore the same fisherman hat as Floyd's and insisted

on going into the water to fish.

Everyone knew that Floyd liked fishing.

However, Floyd stopped fishing because of Chatty's safety and even got someone to fill up the lake,

transforming it into a small landscape fountain.

The shallow water reached Chatty's calf, and there were a few big fish in it.

Chatty tried to catch the fish every day, but the fish was much faster than her, so the chances of her

catching it were slim.

Floyd moved the rocking chair to the area and watched on happily as Chatty scrambled all over the

place.

Nicole saw this scene when she came back and parked the car.

She walked over with a smile. When Chatty saw her mother, she happily carried a big fish and wanted

to shove it into Nicole’s arms.

Nicole dodged in horror while Mr. Anderson laughed in the back.

Nicole was speechless.
