Nichole felt a chill run down her spine.


    Before, she had always thought Ricardo was a tender and easy–going man who was easy to


    manipte.


    She had never expected Ricardo to turn against Rowena ruthlessly!


    All his previously affectionate persona was a facade.


    What Ricardo wanted was nothing more than the support of the Freeman family to bolster his position


    in Devonport


    Ricardo said coldly. “If you don’t want to end up like her, you better behave and not anger me.”


    “No… I wouldn’t dare…” Nichole quickly shook her head. “As long as you allow me to remain the


    darling of the Freeman family, to continue being your fiancée, living this life, I do whatever you want!”


    “Good” Ricardo took off his coat and said, “Tomorrow, you’ll apany me to the hospital to kneel and


    apologize to Reece.”


    “What?!” Nichole’s face turned sour. “You’re asking me to kneel and apologize to Reece?”


    “Not just to Reece, but to Sophie as well.”


    Hearing this, Nichole’s expression darkened even more “No! I refuse


    At that, Ricardo shot Nichole a re that made her shrink back. She bit her lip and said. “Anything but


    kneeling to Sophie, I’ll do whatever else you ask…


    Ricardo scoffed, “Even prison?


    “Nichole fell silent.


    Ricardo continued, “You attacked Reece. Did you think you wouldn’t end up in prison? If we can’t settle


    this privately, you better be prepared to be arrested. I believe no one understands better than you what


    life in there is like”


    Nichole’s face turnedpletely white.


    Prison? No, she never wanted to experience that again in her life!


    ? ? ? ? ???


    She never wanted to live that kind of life again!


    Nichole grabbed the hem of Ricardo’s trousers, saying, ‘111 kneel. As long as it keeps me out of prison,


    I’ll do whatever you say!”


    Ricardo crouched down and gently caressed Nicholes cheek, his expression seemingly returning to its


    previously tender manner, “Good, that’s being obedient”


    Nichole could not speak, her eyes filled with fear Not until Ricardo left did she clumsily get up from the


    ground.


    She looked down at her slightly swollen belly, suddenly feeling a sense of relief


    Fortunately, she hadn’t gone through with getting nd of the baby

    Fortunately, she still had a way out!


    The next day. Sophie was brought to the hospital by Ricardo’s people


    Nichole arrived in the hospital room before Sophie. She was kneeling on the floor, her face full of


    remorse as she looked at Reece, saying. “Mr. Reece, it was all my fault. Please forgive me.”

    Sophie frowned.


    The current Nichole bore no resemnce to her previously arrogant self. Rather, she appeared like a


    fragile damsel seeking forgiveness.


    “What’s this early moming performance Mr. Ricardo has brought Ms. Nichole for? Sophie mused, sitting


    on the couch, watching Nichole with her face full of apologies. She said, “Ms. Nichole, with your


    esteemed status, it’s improper for you to trouble yourself by kneeling”


    Then, with a casual politeness, she added, “Won’t you get up?”


    Nichole didn’t get up, still showing a penitent demeanor “I wasn’t thinking straight before Ricardo has


    already taught me a lesson. I realize my mistake now. I’m sorry, Sophie, it was jealousy that blinded me


    I promise it won’t happen again; please forgive me.”


    Nichole’s current remorseful appearance made it hard to distinguish truth from performance.


    Sophie just quietly watched Nichole put on her act before her
