Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 670 âWeâve received a report regarding your attempt to poison someone.â The police immediately put Nicola in cuffs.
Nicola was taken aback. She glared at Walter, only to find him kneeling on the floor with both hands on his head. âDear officers, she was the one who made me do it. I was forced to do it. I was left with no choiceâ¦â
He shook his head violently as he spoke.
At that moment, Nicola began to be gripped by fear and realized that she had been deceived. âNo. I donât know what heâs saying. Walter, why are you accusing me? I told you to come here so that I could ask you something.â
âStop denying, Nicola.â
Catherine supported Joel as they walked down from the second floor of the warehouse. Joelâs eyes were filled with resentment, and he wished he could skin Nicola alive. If he had not hidden and heard what Nicola had said just now, he would not have realized that the woman he had been living with for 20 years was this sickening. âI thought you were just secretly having an affair with Damien. I didnât expect that you and Walter wouldâ¦â
Joel was so disgusted by her that he could not continue anymore.
Nicolaâs face paled. Walter felt so helpless that he said, âPresident Yule, it wasnât my intention to do it.
Itâs⦠Itâs Mrs. Wicks who seduced me when you werenât aroundâ¦â
âThat means you werenât completely honest with us earlier, huh?â Catherine was at a loss for words.
âNo wonder youâve been helping her to drug my dad throughout these two years. Aunty Nicola, I never thought youâd be so desperate, considering your age. Do your daughter and Damien know about it?â
âShut your mouth,â Nicola screamed like a madwoman.
âNicola, oh Nicola, what have I done to you? Why did you have to marry me and ruin my life?â Joel hated her to the core. âYouâre very cruel. Not only did you make me raise someone elseâs daughter for over 20 years, but you even want to kill me so that Melanie would claim my inheritance. This time, I definitely wonât let you off the hook.â
âStop accusing me, Joel. Youâre just upset that I cuckolded you. Donât think about framing me,â Nicola yelled and denied his claims.
Catherine laughed and added, âYou better stop being stubborn, Aunty Nicola. Thereâs a bug on Walter, and weâve recorded your previous phone conversation too. Think about what youâve said to Walter just now.â
Nicola was stunned.
She tried recalling what she had said. She said that she wanted Joel to die within half a year.
Her knees buckled. She fell into a kneel on the floor and then grabbed Walter like a madwoman. âItâs all your doing. I wonât let you off the hook.â
âSheâs threatening me, officer.â Walter was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the police. âThis woman is very cruel.â
Nicola burst out laughing. âThat is not what you thought of me back then. You said that I was your darling, and I was gentler than your wife.â
âI never said that. Never.â Walter shuddered and denied her statement.
Shortly after, the police held the two of them and walked out.
Nicola began to moan at Joel amid her sobs. âJoel, I didnât mean to do it. I was deeply in love with you when I married you. But you still gave me the cold shoulder even after many years, and I felt very lonely. Thatâs how my love transpired into hate. Please let me go.â
Joel replied bitterly, âNicola, did you love me, my money, or my status? You should know better than anyone else.â
âNo, I loved you. It was you.â
No matter how she screamed, she was eventually taken away.
Before Walter left, Catherine said, âIâve promised not to investigate the matter regarding your bribery.
But after you get into jail, your wife will get wind of the fact that you cheated on her. She and your son might not wait for you.â
Walter felt a wave of panic wash over him.
This was exactly why he refused to reveal the truth. He was afraid of losing his home, wife, and son.
Anyhow, he ended up losing everything.
Soon, the news that Nicola was arrested spread throughout Canberra.
According to the news reports, when the police arrested her, they caught her behaving intimately with Yule Corporationâs secretary, Walter Kurtz
