Read Chapter 1556 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat
The car drove past Nicole. When she looked up, her face changed dramatically.
Through the car window, Nicole saw the girl who had talked to her that night in the back of the car. The girl’s face
was bloodied, and her eyes were desperate and empty as she looked out the window.
The girl seemed to be looking at Nicole too.
In an instant, a wave of nausea rushed to Nicole’ s chest. She could no longer resist and ran out to dry heave.
However, her stomach was empty. Except for a gag reflex, nothing was thrown up.
Caleb’s woman came out from inside and looked at Nicole expressionlessly with some sympathy.
“Don’t have such high hopes. This negotiation won’t go so smoothly. It could take a month or even a year.”
Nicole paused and abruptly turned her head. “What does he want?”
The woman smiled and gaudily stroked her hair.
“A lot, such as Eric Ferguson ‘s forces abroad that are powerful enough to launder money, his contacts in various
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtparts of Mediania, and our men who have been arrested by Medianian officers…”
Nicole’s face changed a few times. It was indeed a lot.
Compared to these, Nicole and Angie were not considered much of a bargaining chip.
“That’s just a pipe dream!”
How could Eric possibly risk having the business that he had painstakingly managed get into the mire again?
It was even more impossible to expose his secret connections and drag them through the mud.
Moreover, those criminals who were arrested deserved what they got, so why should they be released?
Once Eric agreed to Caleb’s conditions, it was tantamount to agreeing to become an accomplice. Eric would never
be able to rid himself of Caleb again.
“You have such little faith in your own charm?” The woman smiled and looked at Nicole.
Nicole looked over with a clear and cold gaze. “If it were you, would you agree?”
All these overstepped the bottom line. It was equivalent to throwing away his future.
Eric was such a shrewd person.
Comparing a relationship that ended in smoke and the future of the entire Ferguson Corporation, anyone would
choose the latter, right?
The woman’s smile faded. She did not speak for a while.
“You’ve become different from when you first arrived,” she said honestly.
When Nicole first arrived, the woman could feel that this hostage wanted to get close to her.
However, after only a few days, Nicole’ s gaze when she looked at the others was cold as hell.
That cold gaze did not have much fear. Rather, it carried more disdain and scorn.
How could a hostage look at them with such mockery?
Nicole did not answer. All she could think about was the girl’s face just now when she was sitting in the car.
Her face was covered in blood.
It was her turn. The people outside came in and said that they wanted to take Nicole back to the room.
The woman waved her hand. “No need, I’ll talk to the boss.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
They still had some respect for the boss’ woman. Just a little though.
The woman looked at Nicole’s face and realized something.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Are you like this because of those women? Did they scare you?”
A dainty young lady would indeed be easily frightened after a few days here.
After all, Nicole did not grow up rolling around in the mud.
The woman had a light smile on her face. “Don’t be afraid. The boss won’t do this to you. He just wants t o scare
you since you tried to shoot someone, steal a gun, and run away in the first place.”
Nicole turned back. Her face was pale and bloodless. “If it were you, even if there was a 1% chance,
wouldn’t you run?”
The woman touched her nose.“ I won’t run. There are more people here than the few that you saw.
Hundreds of them are hiding around this place. If you really fired the gun, you would’ve been shot to death on the
spot. ”
Nicole’s gaze was in despair for a moment. She blinked and kept silent.
Her heart kept sinking.
Sure enough, Nicole’s thoughts were too simple.
