Read Chapter 1562 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat
One of the bodyguards followed Nicole from behind.
“Ms. Stanton, go upstairs.”
It was an unquestionable tone.
Nicole pursed her lips. Of course, there was no room to retort.
She did not want to clash with these bodyguards. Besides, she found that in the past few days, Caleb had added some medicine to her meals, which drained her energy even when she was awake.
Nicole clenched her fists and went upstairs.
The room upstairs was extremely small. It was so small that there was only a small single bed without any extra space to put anything else.
As soon as Nicole went inside, the bodyguard locked the door from the outside.
Nicole’s heart trembled. She hurriedly went over to push the door.
“What do you want?”
“What’s with the noise? You’ll be released tomorrow. Sleep properly or I’ll find someone to sleep with you!”
That last sentence carried a bit of ridicule and threat.
Nicole behaved.
She did not dare to provoke that person. Nicole would know her outcome tomorrow.
She sat there apprehensively and was unable to sleep.
All around her was quiet.
She could only hear a few bodyguards downstairs whispering something. The exact content was inaudible.
At dawn.
The light pierced through the clouds. When it reached the room, it was only a faint ray of light.
That was because there was no window in this room.
Nicole’s heart had just calmed down when she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming from downstairs.
Those people left and got into the car. Nicole heard the sound of the car engine roaring and felt anxious.
Nicole went over and pushed the door, but it would not budge. “Caleb! Caleb…”
She shouted loudly as she wondered what he was going to do.
Inexplicably, Nicole suddenly recalled what Caleb said yesterday about a fun game.
Nicole was already in the game, faster than she thought earlier.
Her screams were not heard.
Just as the cars were leaving one after another, she felt that she had been deliberately forgotten.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs one step at a time.
It was heavy and slow.
Nicole quieted down and approached the door.
“What exactly are you going to do, Caleb? Even if Eric failed to negotiate with you, you can also talk t o me. I can give you more than you think.”
Nicole’ s body was tense all over. Her palms were unconsciously sweating.
She was expecting Caleb to think over it and state his price.
It would at least stall for some time for her.
The person outside the door snorted lightly. His voice was grim and husky.
“Ms. Stanton, I’m very reluctant to hurt you. Angie also said that she likes you, but…”
He hesitated for a few seconds before speaking coldly.
“You’re just so unlucky. Eric’s flight is at 1o:oo am. It’s now 9:3o am. He has half an hour to decide whether to save you or leave…”
Nicole’s heart trembled fiercely.
“Why must he decide? I’ve already told you long ago that I have nothing to do with him!”
She gritted her teeth to say these words.
Nicole knew nothing about Eric’ s plan, nor did she want to know.
Why did she have to bear all the risk?
“I only liked him once, but that was a long time ago! I don’t like him anymore! ”
Nicole said with a hoarse voice. She was very sad. Her eyes felt sour as tears streamed down her face.
The emotions that she had suppressed these days suddenly burst out.
“What do you really want? Do you want to kill me? Then why don’t you just do it quickly?! Caleb, are you sick in the head?”
The person outside the door was silent for a moment and suddenly laughed.
The laugh was slightly cold.
“Ms. Stanton is angry now. Mr. Ferguson, did you hear that?”
There was a slight change in Caleb’s tone. It stunned Nicole for a moment.
Turns out that Caleb had been on a call with Eric this whole time.
Nicole did not want to lose her mind, throw a tantrum, or curse.
However, it was really unbearable to have her hope turn into disappointment and despair.
