Female NovelChapter 413
As Sophie remained silent, Reece made no move to let Nichole stand up Beside them, Ricardo spoke up. "Rowena acted out against Ms. Sophie because of past incidents. I had spoken to her last night, and she's moved on from the past."
With that, Ricardo looked towards Nichole, saying, "Rowena, didn't you say last night that you wanted to apologize to Ms. Sophie?"
Nichole nodded repeatedly, looking truly penitent. She stepped forward and bowed deeply to Sophie, saying, "Sophie, I was jealous because I liked Mr. Burke, hnd I did many things I regret. I'm here to apologize. Please forgive me."
Studying Nichole's now innocent and remorseful face, Sophie frowned slightly Nichole seemed to have genuinely changed.
However, for Sophie, Nichole's transformation could only have two explanations The first was that Nichole truly regretted her actions and found true love in Ricardo.
The second was that Nichole was biding her time, showing weakness now to strike back later.
If it weren't for a recent dream, Sophie might have believed the former was true. But that dream made her wary of trusting Nichole's change too easily.
"Last time, you u slapped me twice, Ms. Nichole. A simple apology can't just wipe the slate clean."
Sophie's message couldn't be clearer.
Nichole bit her lip and said. "If you want to hit me back, I won't complain."
Nichole's demure appearance made it seem as though Sophie was the aggressor,
"Since you're pregnant, let's not bother with the slapping. Let's just settle it with money," Sophie raised an eyebrow and said, "Colby received a compensation fee of five billion for the slaps I received from you. So, Ms. Nichole, please give me five billion, and we'll call It even."
Five billion.
Nichole was stunned Ever since her identity as the Freeman family daughter was revealed, Mr. Briggs had given her only a million as pocket money. Where would she find five billion?
Hearing this, Nichole looked at Ricardo for help.
Ricardo took a deep breath and said, "Ms. Sophie, is this extortion?"
"How is this extortion? Simply apologizing doesn't make everything okay, especially since she hurt Reece, my golden goose. Now that Russell Enterprises is bankrupt, my shares in S Corporation are all I have. I'm counting on Reece to make more money for S Corporation, so I can get a bigger dividend. Look at Reece now. His face is injured. That face is a male star's fortune. If it's really ruined, five billion would seem too little"
Sophie was clearly playing the poor card, and everyone knew it
Reece coughed twice, clearly startled by Sophie's remarks,
Ricardo massaged his temples. At this point, he could only settle Nichole's debts.
He said, "Fine. I'll pay for Rowena. But Ms. Sophie, remember what you said. From now on your grievances are settled."
"Of course."novelbin
Sophie agreed, and then Ricardo, with a dark expression, stood up tumed to Nichole, and said, “Rowena, En.
get up. We're leaving."
