Nichole was deted and eventually retumed to her room,


    In the spacious living room, Ricardo’s phone began to ring. On the other end, his secretary reported,


    “Mr. Cloude, we’ve located the illegitimate child of your father and that woman.”


    Ricardo asked in a deep voice, “Who is it?”


    “They’ve indeed been hiding in Bloomsbury throughout the years! Our investigation revealed that the


    old master’s illegitimate child is named Julian.”


    Julian…


    A coldugh escaped Ricardo.


    It seemed that even after all these years, that woman still harbored dreams of entering the Cloude


    family, still fancied her son bing the heir of the Cloude family!


    Such a daydream!


    “Mr. Cloude, there’s another matter”


    “Go on.”


    “It’s about Ms. Nichole.” The voice on the other end hesitated, “Our people reported that Ms. Nichole


    had them cut Reece’s brake lines today. Now, Reece is in the hospital”


    Hearing the report, Ricardo’s brows furrowed tightly. “Why didn’t you stop her?”


    “Ms. Nichole has a formidable temper, we….


    Ricardo interrupted with impatience, “Got it. Hang up.”


    Ricardo ended the call.


    He hadn’t initially nned to truly find the Freeman family’s daughter. However, Nichole just happened


    to appear and was carrying James‘ child. To foster a good rtionship with the Freeman family,


    Ricardo had brought her to the Freemans.


    He thought this would be an opportunity to undermine James. Moreover, having leverage over this


    woman meant she would behave. However, he hadn’t anticipated Nichole to cause trouble day in and


    day out!


    Wasn’t it better to simply be the Freeman family’s heiress, the Cloude family’s fiancée?


    Why did she have to cause such amotion!

    Ricardo dialed his driver’s number, saying, “Bring the car around, I’m heading to the hospital


    downtown.”


    “Yes, Mr. Cloude.”


    Inside the hospital, the entrance was crowded with reporters. They were there from moming till night,


    each vying for the most exclusive


    news.


    When Sophie arrived, the ce was besieged. Tricia suggested, “It’s hard to get in now. Let’s use the


    back door.”


    “There might be people at the back door too. Hand me a mask”


    “Alright.”


    Tri handed Sophie a mask, and Sophie stepped out of the car, walking into the hospital without


    changing her expression.


    At that moment, Sophie, dressed in a bulky down jacket and wearing a mask, blended in like any


    ordinary patient, unnoticed by the reporters who had watched patientse and go all day.


    Once inside, Sophie removed her mask. The hospital director hurried over, saying, “Ms. Sophie, the


    patient is resting in the room. It’s nothing serious”


    Til know if it’s serious once I’ve seen him.”


    Sophie didn’t appreciate the reassurance. She strode to the elevator and, upon exiting, headed


    towards Reece’s room.


    The director could only follow


    Meanwhile, the lobby below stirred with activity.


    Ricardo emerged from his lupury car Presented with an opportunity for an exclusive, the reporters


    rushed forward with their cameras “Mr. Clouds, you’vee to the hospital quitete. Are you here to


    visit Reece?”


    Ricardo’s bodyguards efficiently blocked the reporters, and as he entered a nurse asked, “May I help
