James frowned, his voice ice–cold as he commanded, “Colt, get her out of here.”
“Right away!”novelbin
Colt had already moved forward, seizing Nichole’s arm, but Nichole fought back, shaking off Colt’s grip.“Let gol”
Facing James, Nichole mustered all her courage, declaring, “Nobody here can touch me! I’m pregnant,carrying Mr. Burke’s child!”
Her voice, neither too loud nor too soft, was enough for everyone around to hear..
Outside the door, some employees peeked in, curious about the commotion inside.
James‘ expression tumed grave at once. This change made them realize the situation might indeed betrue.
Nichole stepped closer to James, gently touching her still–flat belly. “James, this is your child. Your firstchild! Is this really how you want. to treat them?”
James clenched his fists at Nichole’s defiance.
From Nichole’s words, Katy, who had been slumped on the floor, suddenly found her pillar of strength.
In prestigious families, lineage was paramount. Now that Nichole was pregnant, she would definitelybecome James‘ wife.
Katy’s nerves relaxed, and her fear dissipated, replaced with a spark of excitement. She was about tobecome James‘ mother–in–law! The grandmother of James Burke’s child!
What did she have to fear now?
James scoffed, “You say you’re pregnant?”
Nichole lifted her chin, retorting, “Don’t you remember what you did? A single night together binds usforever. Now that I’m carrying your child, you can’t let your men throw me out!”
James‘ eyes narrowed dangerously. Nichole’s bold threat did not faze him. He instructed Colt, “Takeher to the hospital. Ensure the tests are done under your supervision, then bring me the report.
“Yes, Mr. Burke.”
Colt addressed Nichole, “Ms. Nichole, please come with us!
Nichole wasn’t afraid and followed Colt out. Before leaving, she cast a glance at Katy, who was stillseated on the floor. Katy noticed Nichole’s confidence and understood everything.
If she exposed Nichole, both of them would be doomed!
But if she could endure this momentary setback and wait until Nichole became Mrs. Burke, she couldstill hold her head high.
With this thought, Katy mustered her courage to face James, saying, “Mr. Burke, everything I said wasthe truth. It was all my doing. No one told me to do this.”
“Very well.” James responded with a cold laugh. “Lock her up. We can consider releasing her whenshe’s ready to talk.”
“Right away!”
Several bodyguards stepped forward, restraining Katy, who, despite her fear, felt a glimmer of hopebecause of Nichole’s trump card.
After everyone had left, James turned to a bodyguard beside him. “Conduct a thorough investigationinto her identity and background. I want every detail. Report back to me once it’s done.”
