“What could possibly need handling in the middle of the night?”


    Nichole had no faith in men’s words.


    Men were always dishonest. If he’s not interested in her, he surely had another girl outsidel


    At this moment, her eyes were filled with suspicion. The next second, Nichole spot the lipstick mark on


    Ricardo’s white shirt cor.


    Nichole felt as though she had caught him red–handed. She reached out to grab Ricardo’s cor,


    demanding, “What’s this?”


    The sight of the lipstick mark on his cor instantly reminded Ricordo of the moment when Sophie


    deliberately fell into his arms in the car and the eye contact they made as she got up.


    Right then, Ricardo understood everything.


    That woman was using h


    him to raise Nichole’s suspicions!


    Ricardo did not exin, and it only solidified Nichole’s suspicions. She angrily eximed, “Oh, so you


    say you like me, but you won’t even touch me! It turns out it was all an act of deep affection! I’ve had


    my suspicions, and now it’s clear you’ve been cheating on me!”


    “Rowena, listen to me…”


    now


    “I won’t listen! I’m going to tell my dad right now and say you don’t love me at all! It’s all been an act!”


    Nichole often used this tactic to act spoiled, and it had always worked wonders, but this time, just as


    she was about to storm out of the mansion, Ricardo pushed her to the ground.


    Nichole was startled, looking up at Ricardo in disbelief from the ground. “You pushed me?!”


    Recently, Ricardo had treated her like a treasure, afraid of her getting even the slightest bump or


    bruise; never before had he exerted


    such force on her


    But in this moment, Ricardo’s gaze was utterly different as if he was looking at something he utterly


    despised.


    He then crouched down, grabbed Nichole’s chin, and said, “A Freeman family daughter? Really?”


    “You I‘


    “Don’t think I don’t know. You’re not a Freeman family heiress. You’re the daughter of a gambler, a


    murderer, a liar. Allowing you to be Rowena was already the greatest grace. You should be


    bowing down to me.”


    Hearing Ricardo’s words, Nichole was stunned.


    “You you knew?”


    “You think your little tricks could really fool me?”


    Ricardo then pushed Nichole away, leaving her powerless and slumped on the ground, extremely


    frightened.


    She thought she had done everything without anyone noticing, but Ricardo had known all along!


    Ricardo watched Nichole’s current state and sneered, “I thought you could behave and be Rowena, but


    you’ve caused trouble over and over! This time, you even hurt Reece! It seems you don’t want this life


    anymore.”


    I just wanted to teach Sophie a lesson.” Nichole quickly clung to Ricardo’s legs, pleading, “Ricardo, Im


    sorry. Please don’t tell my dad. If he finds out I’m an impostor, I’ll have to go back to prison and suffer!”


    Ricardo’s response was cold, “Good that you’re scared. If you keep being ungrateful, be careful, or I


    might send you to meet Rowena.”


    What?!

    Nichole couldn’t help but think of the female prisoner in jail who had entrusted her with a ring to find Mr.


    Briggs.


    Could it be that Ricardo had already killed the real Rowena?


    “You mean… you killed her?”
