My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1402

Having the mirror almost pressed to her face by Joyce, a murderous aura began emanating from Nicole as she grew purple with rage. The iciness in her gaze was instantly felt by Joyce.

'Damn it, I had this exact feeling when I went up against her in the past! She is nothing but a troll now! What do I have to be afraid of?' Joyce thought.

At that moment, Nicole struck back with a jab. "You really care about Martin? Well, weren't you the one who had set the factory that he worked hard to build on fire? The incident even almost took his life. So, tell me, who is the b**** in this room?"

Joyce was taken aback, for she had not thought that Nicole knew about this incident. In response, she simply forced a smile. "Ha-ha, clever as always, I see. I had not thought that you would know that I was the one who did it so soon. The act was seamless, wasn't it?"

Indeed, she had hired a professional to commit the act, rendering it impossible to find out who the perpetrator was, for there were little to no traces left.

"It was indeed seamless. I have yet to discover the perpetrator up until now. I cannot even present any evidence that someone had deliberately committed arson," Nicole's gaze darkened, and she stared at Joyce with a wicked smirk.

Joyce could not help but pull her lips into a smile. "You really thought I was dumb? How could I possibly allow myself to leave any traces behind? Oh, that includes the attack at the underground parking lot. Good luck, because you aren't going to find the slightest leverage!"

Nicole's eyes grew dark, and as she spoke, her lips twitched. "Indeed, you're actually smarter than you were before."

Joyce heard the reluctant praise, and her smugness grew. "Well, I learned from the best, and today, I am returning you the favor."

After she was done ranting, she produced a syringe and said to her security detail, "Hold her down for me! Today, I will personally send you to death's door!"

'That imbecile could not kill Nicole, so I'm going to do it myself today! I will make sure that Nicole will not get to escape again! She is like a wildfire dry forest. I must get rid of her if I ever wish to find peace!' Joyce shouted in her mind.

She watched as both of her bodyguards were about to grab Nicole's arms and pin her in place, with the latter's face turning pale and icy. In a flash, Nicole raised her leg and kicked one of them in the head, flooring him. Then, she leaped up to strike another with a haymaker to the face, knocking him down. And just like that, she had taken two men down.
