Female NovelChapter 378
Nicole sneered as she stepped forward and slapped Sophie across the face. The slap was swift and decisive, leaving Jenna stunned When Jenna reacted, she immediately tried to retaliate against Nicole but was stopped by Nicole's bodyguards
"Nicole! Have you lost your mind? How dare you lay a hand on Sophie?"
Blood linged the comers of Sophie's mouth, and a ringing echoed in her ears from the force of the slap. It was clear Nicole had used all her strength Nicole scoffed, "Russell Enterprises is bankrupt, and their precious heimss is nothing but an empty title now. Why couldn't I strike her?"
Nicole stood tall, radiating arrogance.
Jenna replied icily, "Russell Enthprises might be bankrupt, but I'm still hem. You just slapped Sophie today. I'll make sure you pay back a hundredfold tomorrow!"
"I doubt you could, Nicole's lips curled into a smirk.
"Really?" Jenna was unimpressed. Not only was she the head of the Dennis family, but she was also closely related to the Costellos. In Devonport no one dared to cross Jenna.
Jenna stepped forward, but before she could make a move, ten more bodyguards suddenly barged in, surrounding the diner completely.
Jenna noticed that these men bore the crest of the Cloude family from Bloomsbury Why would the Cloude family suddenly show up in Devonport?
Jenna's brow furrowed in confusion.
A smug smile spread across Nicole's face.
Sophie had sensed something amiss from the start. Even with the leverage of her unborn child, Nichole wouldn't be able to mobilize so many bodyguards from the Burke family.
If Bea knew Nicole had come to provoke Sophie, she wouldn't have supported her either.
Clearly, these men weren't part of the Burke family's security.
At that moment, a tall man with sharp features dressed in a suit slowly entered. His voice was deep, tinged with indifference. "1 apologize for my tardiness."
Upon seeing this unfamiliar face, Jenna's expression turned wary. "Who are you?"
"Ricardo, you've arrived," Nicole took Ricardo's am.
Hearing this name, Sophie was taken aback.
Ricardo?
In her past life, she had vaguely heard of this name. Ricardo Cloude held a dominion as significant in Bloomsbury as James did in Devonport.

Ricardo Cloude, the head of the Cloude family, had searched for his fiancée for ten years. Although he eventually found her she had been imprisoned for prostitution and endured great suffering in jail. She had already passed away by the time he got to her,
Ricardo then publicly announced he would never marry, earning the m Cloude family significant public sympathy and benefits through this tragic love story.
However, Ricardo's fiancée was a woman named Rowena Freeman, the Rowena F long-lost daughter of the Freeman family from Devonport. What connection did she have with Nicole?
