Chapter 291
Nichole was in the dimly lit basement, devoid of any ventilation. She had only been there for threehours, but it was already becoming unbearable.
“Let me out! Let me out!”
She desperately pounded on the basement door but not a sound could penetrate the walls.
After a while, the door to the basement opened, and Nichole saw a sliver of light seep in. Before shecould rejoice, she saw Katy.
Katy had been tormented for days and was on the brink of a breakdown. The sight of the dark roommade her recoil in fear, shrinking back.
“I don’t want this. No!”
Katy kept retreating, but she was mercilessly thrown in regardless,
“Ah!” Nichole jumped, feeling Katy crawling towards her.
With a face full of terror, Nichole exclaimed, “What are you doing? I’m carrying James‘ child! You can’tdo this to me!”
As soon as Nichole finished speaking, James walked in.
Nichole felt as if she had found her pillar of strength. She immediately rushed over. “James, you finallycame to see me! Listen to me, I can explain…”
“No need for explanations. James‘ voice was colder and more distant than ever before.
Nichole looked up to see James squatting down, his gaze filled with chilliness.novelbin
He reached out, grabbed Nichole’s chin, and slightly turned her face, saying, “Nichole, you’ve beenimpersonating someone. You murdered your friend. I’ve looked into all these accusations.”
At that moment, the air seemed to freeze. Nichole opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything.
He knew! James knew everything.
“It wasn’t me. I didn’t say it. It wasn’t me!” Katy desperately shook her head from the side. She hadbeen locked in the dark basement for days, almost driven to madness from the torment, but she hadclenched her teeth and hadn’t spoken up. James had found out all on his
own.
Nichole felt as though all her strength had been drained. She couldn’t even muster the energy to move“James…”
“You even tried to murder Sophie. What wouldn’t you dare do?”
James
gaze was
as sharp as a knife as if he could tear her apart.
He coldly said, “Would you have hidden this from me forever if Colby hadn’t rescued Sophie when shefell into the sea? Were you planning to use the child in your womb to enter the Burke family?”
“…” Nichole was so frightened by James‘ terrifying gaze that she couldn’t utter a word.
“Nichole, you’ve really played a clever game.” James stood up and said to Colt, “Take them to thepolice station, and let the police handle this.”
“Yes, Mr. Burke.”
