Chapter 410

This could be considered premeditated murder. If Nichole ended up in prison, she wouldn't see the light of day for years, unless a private settlement is reached.

Moreover, Nichole didn't harm just anyone, but Reece.

Reece was a highly influential A-list actor. If Nichole's actions were exposed, the whole nation's scorn could drown her.

Ricardo said, “I’m genuinely sorry. I’ll make sure Rowena comes to apologize to you tomorrow.”

“Since you've said what you intended to say, it’s time for you to leave. Reece needs his rest, so I won’t see you out.”

Sophie made it clear that Ricardo should leave. Ricardo replied, “I'm done with my visit, so I will leave and not disturb Mr. Reece’s rest. But, Ms.

Sophie... it seems you and Reece aren’t involved anymore, are you?”

Sophie glanced at the half-processed documents on the table, then deliberately said to Ricardo, “Yes, I was just visiting an old friend. Since you've brought it up, perhaps you could give me a lift home?”

Ricardo hadn’t expected Sophie to make such a request.

He frowned for a moment but, given the situation, reluctantly agreed, “It’s on the way, so please, Ms. Sophie, after you.”

Sophie had no intention of being polite with Ricardo and stepped out of the hospital room before him, giving Reece a reassuring look as she left.

Colby had already warned Ricardo, so naturally, Ricardo couldn’t lay a hand on her.

When they reached the ground floor, Sophie noticed Ricardo's people had dealt with all the reporters outside. There was no one in sight.

“Ms. Sophie, please get in the car.”

Ricardo personally opened the car door for Sophie.

Once inside, Ricardo sat next to Sophie but kept a careful distance, wary of any tricks she might pull.

After all, he had people rough her up last time, and her sudden request to be driven home made him cautious.

“Oh my!”

Suddenly, as the car turned, Sophie appeared to lose her balance and fell into Ricardo’s arms.

Chapter 782 When she got up, her lips brushed against Ricardo’s collar, leaving a lipstick mark. Seeing the lipstick mark, Sophie then sat up, pretending to apologize, “I’m so sorry, the car is too spacious, and I wasn't sitting properly.”

“It’s fine.” Ricardo adjusted his sleeve, not taking it to heart.

When the car arrived at Sophie’s new apartment, she got out.

After watching Sophie enter the apartment complex, Ricardo told the driver, “Let’s go.”

“Yes, Mr. Ricardo.”

Through the car window, Ricardo watched as Sophie disappeared into the apartment complex.

Nothing had happened on the ride. Was it really just a simple request to take her home?

Late at night, inside the Cloude family home, Nichole paced the living room anxiously, unable to understand why Ricardo, who was so in love with her, was avoiding her tonight.

Feeling defeated, she was startled by the sound of the front door opening.

Nichole hurried forward, saying, “Ricardo! Why are you only coming back now?”

Ricardo loosened his tie, replying, “Nothing much, just had to take care of some things.”
