Walter’s hand shivered. “Should I increase the dosage?”
“Mm.”
Nicola nodded indifferently.
Walter grabbed the packet of drugs with mixed feelings. “Alright. I… I’ll take my leave first.”
“Hey, why are you leaving so hastily?” Nicola suddenly gripped his hand. “It’s been a while since we met.”
Walter’s face froze. “I really need to go. I have something to deal with.”
“Stop lying. Are you looking down on me just because of my age?” Nicola approached him all of a sudden and slid her hand across his chest. “You used to say that I’m much better than your wife, who’s like a dead fish.”
“I don’t think this is good. Aren’t you with Vice President Yule?” Walter felt like killing himself.
“As you know, he’s a cripple. I like your maturity and attractiveness more.” Nicola pinched his decorous face and began to pull on his tie.
All of a sudden, the siren of a police car sounded outside. Then, a group of police officers dashed in and pointed the guns at them.
Shocked, Nicola swiftly let go of Walter. “What… What are you guys doing?”
“We’ve received a report regarding your attempt to poison someone.” 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. “Dear officers, she was the one who made me do it. I was forced to do it. I was left with no choice…”
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. “No. I don’t know what he’s saying. Walter, why are you accusing me? I told you to come here so that I could ask you something.”
“Stop denying, Nicola.”
Cate supported Joel as they walked down from the second floor of the warehouse. Joel’s 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. “I thought you were just secretly having an affair with Damien. I didn’t expect that you and Walter would…”
Joel was so disgusted by her that he could not continue anymore.
Nicola’s face paled. Walter felt so helpless that he said, “President Yule, it wasn’t my intention to do it. It’s… It’s Mrs. Wicks who seduced me when you weren’t around…”
“That means you weren’t completely honest with us earlier, huh?” Cate was at a loss for words. “No wonder you’ve been helping her to drug my dad throughout these two years. Aunty Nicola, I never thought you’d be so desperate, considering your age. Do your daughter and Damien know about it?”
“Shut your mouth,” Nicola screamed like a madwoman.
“Nicola, oh Nicola, what have I done to you? Why did you have to marry me and ruin my life?” Joel hated her to the core. “You’re very cruel. Not only did you make me raise someone else’s daughter for over 20 years, but you even want to kill me so that Melanie would claim my inheritance. This time, I definitely won’t let you off the hook.”
“Stop accusing me, Joel. You’re just upset that I cuckolded you. Don’t think about framing me,” Nicola yelled and denied his claims.
Cate laughed and added, “You better stop being stubborn, Aunty Nicola. There’s a bug on Walter, and we’ve recorded your previous phone conversation too. Think about what you’ve said to Walter just now.”
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. “It’s all your doing. I won’t let you off the hook.”
“She’s threatening me, officer.” Walter was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the police. “This woman is very cruel.”
Nicola burst out laughing. “That is not what you thought of me back then. You said that I was your darling, and I was gentler than your wife.”
“I never said that. Never.” 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. “Joel, I didn’t 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. That’s how my love transpired into hate. Please let me go.”
Joel replied bitterly, “Nicola, did you love me, my money, or my status? You should know better than anyone else.”
“No, I loved you. It was you.”
No matter how she screamed, she was eventually taken away.
Before Walter left, Cate said, “I’ve 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.”
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 Corporation’s secretary, Walter Kurtz After the news was out, it stirred quite a commotion online.
[My goodness. What kind of a woman is Nicola? She married the president of Yule Corporation, messed around with his brother, and then had an affair with the secretary. What a cuckold President Yule is.]
[Does Damien know about it? He must be at a loss for words.]
[I bet this woman is having an affair with many other men.]
[I’m wondering if Melanie enjoys messing around like her mom, considering that she’s Nicola’s daughter. Even if Melanie didn’t cheat on Charlie now, he’ll be cuckolded sooner or later.]
[Casting aside Melanie’s resemblance with her mom, it’s not a good thing even if she resembles her dad. I believe Damien and Melanie are involved in poisoning Joel.]
[What a disgusting family. I feel sorry for the Campos family for being related to them.]
“…”
Melanie flew into a rage upon reading those comments. She flung the ashtray across the bedroom.
“How dare you throw things around.” As soon as Charlie walked in and caught sight of the scene, he lost his cool. “Look at how shameless your family is. Isn’t embarrassing yourselves once enough? Now, you’ve ruined my reputation. Why did I marry a woman like you?”
