Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 475

"Mr. Ricardo, then everything we've done might not stay hidden after all..."

The secretary was somewhat fearful. They had always known Nichole wasn't the true daughter of the Freeman family. If Mr. Briggs were to find out Nichole was an impostor, wouldn't all their efforts have been in vain?

Ricardo was well aware of the potential mutual destruction, but he was certainly not about to watch James emerge as the final victor.

He said coldly, "There's always a plan B. Who's to say I don't have a contingency?"

"You mean..."

"Let's go now. To the Freeman estate."

"... Yes, Mr. Ricardo."

The Cloude family's car made its way towards the Freeman's estate. Upon seeing Ricardo's car, the security guard at the gate hurried forward to greet them.

The guard bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Ricardo, I'm terribly sorry, but Mr. Freeman isn't home today."

Ricardo, sitting in the backseat, rolled down the window to look at the guard and asked, "Where did Mr. Briggs go?"

The guard, looking troubled, replied, "That... we're not quite sure."

"And what about Rowena?"

"Miss Rowena went out with him, and they haven't returned yet."

The guard's expression had already told Ricardo everything he needed to know. From afar, Ricardo could see the lights of the Freeman family's mansion illuminated. Nichole and Mr. Briggs were in the living room, and James was sitting in the place of honor. The three of them appeared to be getting along well, as if they had already become one family.
