Chapter 220 I’ll Let Go if You Lie
The corners of Nicole’s lips twitched. To Nicole, it was a nightmare to hear Ingrid calling her name in that tone.
If Nicole did not find out about Ingrid’s plan in advance, Nicole would have doubted her ears. Ingrid, who was in front of Nicole, kept a polite smile and the etiquette of a high-society lady.
“Nicole, I have something to say to you. Can we talk alone?” Nicole raised her eyebrows and swirled the grape juice in her glass. She questioned Ingrid.
“What do we have to talk about?” Ingrid paused for a moment and hung her head.
“I’ve been seriously reflecting on my past behavior these days… I admit that I’ve gone overboard last time, so I’d like to sincerely apologize to you…’
Nicole just nodded with understanding and said, “Oh, okay, then just apologize here. Won’t it be more sincere in front of everyone?” Ingrid’s face stiffened.
She forced a fake smile. “Um… It won’t be very appropriate. I still have some things I want to say to you in private.” )) Nicole hesitantly looked at the large crystal lights overhead that were reflected on the surface of her drink.
The light moving in her glass was surprisingly more beautiful than the real ones above her. Ingrid saw Nicole’s hesitation and immediately added.
“It won’t be good for others to hear about the things between you and my brother, right?” 2/9 Scanned with CamScanner Nicole lifted her eyelids.
The corners of her lips curled up faintly. “Okay.” She stood up. Yvette pulled on Nicole’s arm and frowned.
She wanted to stop Nicole. Nicole smiled reassuringly and patted Yvette’s wrist, indicating that she knew what she was doing.
She already knew of Ingrid’s plan anyway. Ingrid’s eyes flashed with a hint of smugness. On the balcony of the second floor. The surrounding leaves rustled in the light breeze.
The hazy band of light from the Milky Way could be seen in the dark sky. The stars were as far as the eye could see. Ingrid looked innocent thinking that Eric Ferguson was a taboo subject for Nicole.
Nicole stood there with a slight smirk.’ How childish…’ Ingrid was standing not far away behind Nicole. Her voice was gentle and harmless.”
Nicole, actually come to think of it, you and my brother are a good match with comparable family backgrounds and you’re both from the same gentry circle.
Even my grandfather has started to approve of you. Are you really not interested in my brother anymore?” Nicole glanced at her with a chill in her eyes.
The corners of her lips curled up into a cold and detached smile. “Are you mistaken? How can your brother and I be a good match?” Ingrid paused for a moment and said, “ You’re already the successor and President of Stanton Corporation.
With your current value, how could you not be a good match for my brother?” Nicole snorted coldly and did not hide the contempt in her eyes.
“You misunderstood me. What I meant was, how is your family worthy of being compared to my family?” ‘She even has the cheek to presume that her brother is compatible with the successor of Stanton Corporation?’ Ingrid’s face froze.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and stood behind Nicole, staring at her intently. If it was before, Ingrid would have retorted without a second thought.
However, both her grandfather and brother had already warned her many times not to mess with Nicole. If it were not for Nicole, Ingrid would not have been humiliated in front of the high-society ladies.
Looking at Nicole’s smug face, Ingrid could hold back her anger. Before this, Ingrid had already noticed that this railing’s screws were loose.
Ingrid then deliberately removed them before she asked Nicole to come out. This railing no longer had any point of support.
A slight nudge would make it collapse. Since this place was obscure with the surrounding greenery coupled with the darkness outside, no one noticed this.
Ingrid bit her lower lip, looked at Nicole, and suddenly screamed, “Nicole, what’s on your back?” She then pounced on Nicole without hesitation.
Ingrid wanted to push Nicole down from the second floor. She did not want to kill Nicole and only wanted to cripple her.
At least, Nicole would be in pain. It was better if Nicole would be crippled forever.
If Nicole was crippled, would she still be able to be so smug? Nicole would be humiliated if she fell over like this.
Ingrid thought that as long as she could put Nicole to shame, everything would be worthwhile even if she got reprimanded later.
She used all her strength to pounce at Nicole, but just as her hand grazed Nicole’s back, Nicole suddenly dodged to the side. Ingrid no longer had Nicole’s back as a support in front of her and lunged forward from the inertia earlier.

Ingrid no longer had Nicole’s back as a support in front of her and lunged forward from the inertia earlier, The railing fell off with no resistance, and it was too late for her to regret her actions. Ingrid’s body was free falling.
The cold, harsh wind on her face was a little painful. Panic and shock overwhelmed Ingrid in that instant.
Ingrid screamed, but just as she was about to fall off the second floor, she was suddenly yanked from the back of her dress. She looked back.
Ingrid almost forgot that Nicole always had fast reflexes. She was just relieved that she did not fall from this height and become crippled, However, she was still scared to be in this situation and position, Nicole looked at Ingrid with a faint smile in her eyes.
“Ms. Ferguson, did you justtry to push me?” Ingrid was just about to deny it when Nicole raised her eyebrows devilishly and added, “I’ll let go if you lie…”
