She felt a sharp pain in her arm and suddenly opened her eyes, inhaling sharply from the pain. "Tve... I've already done what you asked! Please, spareNichole pleaded for mercy, but Ricardo's eyes were still filled with danger. "You dumbass! You've ruined such a good move of mine! And you have the audacity to ask for my mercy?" Ricardo let go of Nichole's hand, leaving her looking distressed, "What do you mean by that? My child is gone! Sophie pusheddown the stairs. Everyone saw it!" "You're so stupid and you don't even know it. Do you think Sophie is as naive as you? She had already prepared a backup plan. Now everyone knows you tried to frSophie and ended up killing your own child! Mr. Briggs is utterly disappointed in you, and Bea wants. you dead more than anything! You framed Sophie publicly, and did you really think she would let you off? You've offended so many people. Even if I spare you, others certainly won't!" Nichole felt as if her head was about to explode. She quickly grabbed Ricardo's arm, pleading. "No no... please, you have to help me!" Ricardo did not hide the disgust in his eyes as he held Nichole's chin coldly. "Why are you begging me? You might as well beg James. Don't think I don't know you've secretly contacted him recently."

Ricardo saw the danger in James' eyes and did not want to confront James directly. He said coldly, "Since Mr. Burke is here, you two should have a good talk.” Then, he left the hospital room. Before leaving, he didn't forget to pause and, pretending to be gentle, said to Nichole on the bed, "Rowena, you should have a good talk with Mr. Burke. After this is settled, let's go home," Nichole bit her lip, as Ricardo was clearly trying to make James misunderstand their relationship.
After Ricardo left, Nichole stared at James with teary eyes. “James, I thought you wouldn't cback. James kept his distance. Nichole was used to James' detachment and had anticipated it. She sobbed softly, "James, letexplain what happened today...
I didn't chere to listen to your explanations." "James..." "If Sophie hadn't askedto cand see you, I would never have come" At that, Nichole was taken aback Sophie? Why would Sophie kindly ask James to see her? Sophie must've wanted James to witness Nichole's humiliation! Nichole bit her lip and said. “James, I was forced! What mother would willingly give up her child? It was all Ricardo's doing! He forcedto frSophie, and I could not disobey him!” James watched Nichole's performance. He had indeed been deceived by Nichole's apparent kindness and weakness before, but since discovering Nichole's true colors, he could no longer feel any compassion for her.
