Nicole stopped in her tracks as a car slowly approached the villa's gates. Thinking that it was Norman, she turned around. But when the electric gates opened, it wasn't Norman. Instead, a sleek, limited-edition black Bentley drove in.Nicole looked puzzled when she saw the unfamiliar car. She wondered if Yasmin had mistakenly opened the gates and let in a stranger. While she was still lost in thought, the black Bentley smoothly parked in the center of the courtyard.A driver in a suit and white gloves stepped out with polished manners. He approached the rear door and opened it respectfully. The next moment, Nicole watched as a woman got out of the car.The woman wore a beautiful silk gown with an exquisite pattern and texture. Her pearl necklace added an extra touch of elegance to her charisma. The elegantly dressed woman was none other than Clarissa.Nicole was stunned. Although she had known that Clarissa would come back from her hometown eventually, she hadn't expected it to

At first, Norman had planned to look for a new house, but he had been caught up with writing a script lately. Nicole didn't want him to lose focus. So after talking about it, they decided he should finish the script first.A few days later, Nicole woke up early in the morning to feed Jenna. Norman was still fast asleep since he had stayed up late the night before. Nicole quietly prepared the baby formula, fed Jenna, and put her back in the crib.When Norman finally woke up, it was almost 7:00 pm."Nicole, why didn't you wake me up?" Norman asked."I let you sleep in a bit because you stayed up late," Nicole said with a smile as she headed to the bathroom to freshen up.Norman followed her and wrapped his arms around her. "I've got good news. I finished the script last night. I've got a meeting with Eleanor later, and then I'll start house hunting."Nicole had looked weary since Clarissa had returned. She let out a faint hum in response to Norman's words. It took her a moment to

"No way? I saw it with my own eyes! Nicole is a real wretch; she went after Darlene twice in a row!" Clarissa insisted as she wiped away her tears.Even though Clarissa's words were convincing, Norman trusted Nicole's character more. Nicole was generally gentle and kind. Sure, she could be a bit stubborn at times, but she would never intentionally hurt anyone.Norman couldn't imagine Nicole going after someone, even if it was Darlene. "I don't believe it! I'll give her a call."Realizing the situation had escalated, Norman knew he shouldn't rush to find Nicole. He decided to call her first. Unfortunately, despite his multiple attempts, Nicole never answered.Norman reluctantly let go of the idea of reaching Nicole for the time being. Turning to Clarissa, he asked impatiently, "Mom, besides the miscarriage, how badly is Darlene hurt?""What do you think? Imagine falling down the stairs yourself!" Clarissa rolled her eyes disapprovingly at Norman.Given the circumstances, she saw

It was no surprise that she and Nicole couldn't see eye to eye. It was clear that the two came from different worlds. Clarissa felt that a family of businessmen like the Yandells didn't measure up to Norman. Darlene, on the other hand, came from a family that had made it big in the film and television industry. Even though she wasn't extremely rich, she was at least in Norman's league and could help his career.The white sedan pulled up outside the residential complex. Clarissa got out of the car and went straight to the Yandell residence's door. Nicole had just lulled Jenna to sleep and was about to set her down when she heard someone knocking on their door."Who is it?" grumbled Fantine, who was elbow-deep in cleaning the kitchen.Gregory, who was helping out in the kitchen, also looked up at the door.Nicole thought it was Norman and that he might have forgotten to say something important when he left earlier. Hence, she decided to answer the door herself so as not to a

The streets were deserted at 1:00 am. There was hardly a soul in sight; only a few vehicles zoomed by."Please, someone help!" Nicole cried out desperately as she held her feverish daughter and dashed down the road, hoping that someone would come to their aid. Unfortunately, none of the passing cars stopped, even after she had run for several blocks. Meanwhile, the bikers had already caught up with Nicole. When they noticed how out of breath Nicole was, they were in no rush to attack."Damn, you're in good shape! I can't believe you can still run with a baby in your arms.""Were you a track star or something? Why don't we race and see if you can outrun a motorcycle?""I'd advise you to save your energy. It'd be easier if you just gave up now."The bikers teased Nicole, planning to wear her out before making a move. Just then, out of nowhere, a taxi veered off its course, darted through the flower beds, and straight into the sidewalk.The screech of brakes tore through
