Chapter 431

The sky was darkening, and Nichole found herself restless in Ricardo's house after seeing that news broadcast on TV.

It wasn't just James she saw, but also Calla by Bea's side!

With this news, numerous media outlets began speculating that Calla would replace Sophie as the next Mrs. Burke.

Nichole glanced down at her slightly swollen belly.

That old hag must've been planning to have Calla step into her shoes in the Burke family!

No, she wouldn't allow it!

Ricardo was a madman; she couldn't stay by this lunatic's side. If she wanted a chance at life, her only hope was to rely on James.

Nichole bit her lip, and just then, Ricardo came out of the bathroom. The moment she saw him, she instinctively wanted to step back.

But remembering she had to carve a path for herself, Nichole cautiously tested the waters. “Ricardo, I haven’t been home in days and really miss my dad. Could I possibly...”

Ricardo sneered, “What tricks are you trying to play now?”

“I'm not playing tricks. I just... miss home a little...”

“If you’re thinking of telling Mr. Briggs that I’ve been treating you poorly, I think you can save your breath.” Ricardo coldly said, “Your secrets are all in my hands. If you breathe a word, I assure you, only one outcome will be waiting for you.”

Nichole, suppressing her fear, responded, “Ricardo, you’re really overthinking it. How could I dare betray you when you hold all my secrets? If I did, I doubt I’d live to see another day.”

“Good that you know.”

Ricardo indifferently went to change his clothes. In his eyes, Nichole was nothing more than a tool for use. Should the day come when this tool disobeyed, he could easily destroy it and replace it with a new one.

Nichole bit her lip and said, “Ricardo, so, can I go?”

“If you wish.” Ricardo replied indifferently. “But my people will be watching you. I advise you not to even think about running away. Otherwise...”

Chapter 782 “I won’t run. I’ll be good and follow your instructions.” Nichole hastily agreed.

Her first priority now was to escape from Ricardo’s presence. As long as she could escape from him, she would eventually find an opportunity to seek out James.

Even for the sake of their child, James would help her.

Even if James refused, Bea would never allow a child of the Burke family to be left in the lurch.

Ricardo had let Nichole leave. His secretary, a bit worried, stood by his side and asked, “Mr. Ricardo, you’re just letting her go?”

“Relax, she won’t dare say a word,” Ricardo replied coldly, “That woman was cunning. It’s best she remains ignorant of what’s to come.”

“Understood.”

Ricardo gave his secretary a cold glance and asked, “Have you made the arrangements with Aldridge Global?”

“Everything is set. We’re scheduled to visit Aldridge Global Group’s interns tomorrow morning.”

“Good.”

“However, the Russell family’s daughter is also interning there. If we encounter her...”

Nichole had recently taken matters into her own hands and caused Reece's car accident. Sophie demanded five billion as compensation, effectively declaring war.

Their meeting tomorrow would undoubtedly be fraught with tension.
