"We've received a report regarding your attempt to poison someone." The police immediately put Nicola i n 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.”
Catherine 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?" Catherine 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. D o 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.
Catherine 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."
