Her syringe was filled with a potent concoction. Although she had just been injected with less than a quarter, it was still life – threatening.
Nicole looked at her panicked gaze and huffed. “Joyce, you really thought that you could take on me on your own?”
After saying that, she lifted her hand to tear the prosthetic scar that Martin had made, restoring her face to normal.
The very sight shocked Joyce to the point that she was rooted to the ground. “You, you’re not disfigured! You’re not even injured!”
Indeed, she was not, for if she was, she would not have been able to fight back with such ease and viciousness.
Nicole flashed Joyce a playful smirk. The beautiful smile on her face was like a flower in spring, causing Joyce to flinch in disgust and pain.
Nicole then said, “Knowing it now is too late for you, but I’ll tell you anyway. I’ve set all of this up just to lure you out. You’re going to spend the rest of your life in a prison cell.”
Nicole’s gaze darkened, as this was not what she wanted. Sadly, Joyce had closed in on, and cornered her, forcing her to take this course of action.
“Throw me behind bars?” Joyce said weakly, able to already feel the venom taking effect.
With her limbs growing numb, she stood upright, supporting herself with the trolley, and proceeded to flash Nicole a wicked smile. “On what basis? On the basis of me calling hits on you? Well then, do you have the evidence? Were there witnesses? Well too bad for you, I’m the one being poisoned, so I can easily turn this around!”
Nicole was taken aback by the fact that Joyce was still thinking about ways to frame her. This made Nicole utterly disappointed with Joyce.
‘This woman is truly irredeemable,’ Nicole thought.
She centered her icy gaze on Joyce, and took another step forward. “What did you think was the reason I’ve decided to lure you out here?”
Joyce quickly felt that something terrible was about to happen.
Cold sweat began running down her body as she asked, “What do you mean?”
Nicole playfully twitched her lips, after which she pointed at the phone placed at the comer of the room. Then, she gave Joyce a sly smile.
“I tampered with the surveillance system of the hospital.
Everything has been recorded from the very moment you walked into my room. Your crimes? Well, I have already recorded all of them,” saying this.” Nicole pressed on her watch.
A wicked grin the crossed her face as she said, “Right this moment, the evidence of your crimes are being sent to the police station.”
Joyce immediately froze. She had truly not expected that the operation was another opportunity for Nicole to retaliate. This had even allowed Nicole to gather evidence of her crimes. If word of this got
out, the Adam family would not spare her.
Hatred and rage engulfed Joyce’s heart thereafter. Spotting the window behind Nicole, she let out a blood-curdling cry. “Since you want me to go down, I am going to take you with me!”
Upon uttering the last word, she mustered all of her strength and held onto Nicole’s waist. Then, she charged toward the window. Having not expected Joyce to tackle her, Nicole hurriedly elbowed Joyce in the back, attempting to break free, but by the next second, she felt her lower back dashed against the window frame. Before she could register it, her entire body felt weightless, for she had plummeted out from window together with Joyce.
Joyce cracked a smile as soon as they fell out of the window. The corner of her lips had blood seeping through due to the hemorrhage caused by the venom, but her eyes were beaming with smugness and satisfaction.
“I’ve been dosed. I’m definitely a goner, but now, you will join me in death!”
Nicole looked at Joyce’s crazed expression with her eyes trembling. She had not anticipated that the syringe would be filled with a lethal concoction. Had she known that, she would definitely have guessed that Joyce would do her worst. However, it was too late, for that one single error in judgment would soon be her undoing. She had calculated her risks, but this time she had miscalculated.
‘We were on the seventh floor. I guess I would have my innards splattered all across the pavement at such a height,’ Nicole thought.
Even after having done so many missions, Nicole had never feared death. She knew that the day would come for everyone. Yet, when death had truly come knocking, her mind was racing with images of Jared’s silhouette…
She was reluctant…reluctant to let him go.
