Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 471

In the middle of the night, after bidding Mr. Briggs goodbye, Ricardo returned to the hospital room. Nichole was lying on the hospital bed with her eyes tightly closed, her complexion pale.

"Stop pretending to sleep in front of me!"

The next second, Ricardo grabbed Nichole's arm. She felt a sharp pain in her arm and suddenly opened her eyes, inhaling sharply from the pain. "I've... I've already done what you asked! Please, spare me!"

Nichole pleaded for mercy, but Ricardo's eyes were still filled with danger. "You dumbass! You've ruined such a good move of mine! And you have the audacity to ask for my mercy?"

Ricardo let go of Nichole's hand, leaving her looking distressed, "What do you mean by that? My child is gone! Sophie pushed me down the stairs. Everyone saw it!"

"You're so stupid and you don't even know it. Do you think Sophie is as naive as you? She had already prepared a backup plan. Now everyone knows you tried to frame Sophie and ended up killing your own child! Mr. Briggs is utterly disappointed in you, and Bea wants you dead more than anything! You framed Sophie publicly, and did you really think she would let you off? You've offended so many people. Even if I spare you, others certainly won't!"

Nichole felt as if her head was about to explode. She quickly grabbed Ricardo's arm, pleading, "No... no... please, you have to help me!"

Ricardo did not hide the disgust in his eyes as he held Nichole's chin coldly. "Why are you begging me? You might as well beg James. Don't think I don't know you've secretly contacted him recently."
