“Hand it over.” Nicole’s eyes were frosty and frightening. She could tolerate others targeting her, but she would never forgive them for implicating her family.
Ashley was quaking in her boots but still yelled back, “I don’t know what you are talking about!”
There was a look of impatience in Nicole’s eyes when she heard Ashley’s response.
“You know what I am talking about. Hand the phone over.” Ashley might be afraid of Nicole, but when the thought of the contents of the mobile phone came to mind, she gritted her teeth.
“The mobile phone is my personal belongings. What right do you have to demand that I hand over my phone?”
Nicole did not bother to continue talking to her. She pressed her hand on Ashley’s shoulder, forcing Ashley to loosen the hand behind her. Taking this opportunity, Nicole snatched the phone from her hand.
The screen was still displaying the post she had uploaded. The comments section was full of nasty replies saying that Nicole was shameless.
Nicole calmly exited the forum and opened the photo album. The first image she saw was a picture of her standing with her brothers. She swiped back, and what appeared in front of her was the picture of her ‘bullying’ Snow.
Further back were some saved screenshots of chats with Snow, telling Ashley about her requirement for the photos. Snow asked them to find a photo that could put Nicole in trouble. There was also a nude photo of Ashley with a middle-aged man. Ashley’s face turned pale when Nicole saw her nude photo.
Just then, a middle-aged man’s voice was heard coming from one side.
“Snow, is this your friend?”
“Dad…” Ashley was even more dumbfounded when she saw her adoptive father.
“Dad?” Nicole smiled. Ashley’s father had come just when she saw Ashley’s nude photo. She was not going to miss this opportunity, Ashley had been hanky-panky herself, yet she dared to take a candid photo of her. Since that was the case, Nicole was going to give Ashley a taste of her own medicine.
Nicole sneered, picked up the mobile phone, and said to the man and the middle-aged woman who accompanied him.
“You two must be Mr. and Mrs. Holmes. Take a look at what your daughter has done.” As she spoke, she held up the phone.
“No!” Ashley panicked and went to grab the phone.
To Ashley’s surprise, Ricky pushed her away and threw herself at the feet of Mrs. Holmes and pleaded, “It was my fault. I didn’t expect Jess to do such a thing outside. But please forgive her this time.”
Looking at Ricky, who was still defending his daughter, Mrs. Holmes could not hide her disappointment and pain, and finally let out an icy smile and gracefully took a glass of water from the table and splashed it on Ricky’s face. She then told him sternly, “If you still want her to stay in this family, then my lawyer will see you tomorrow-we will divorce.”
What she gave him all these years, she would take it all back without fail.
No way Ricky would dare to let her divorce him. Everything he now had was because he had married a wife with a wealthy background. If she divorced him, he would lose everything.
It did not matter if everything was taken away from him. But if her family knew about it, they would surely kill him. Thinking of this, he hugged Mrs. Holmes’s leg and wailed.
“Please don’t divorce me.” He turned back and pointed at his daughter ruthlessly. “I promise you that I will send her away tomorrow. Please give me another chance.”
With everything that happened in front of her eyes, Nicole had to turn on her phone and record what was going on. Ashley could no longer stand it when she heard her father was abandoning her. Her grievances of these years exploded instantly as she angrily scolded Ricky.
“You forsake your daughter for a woman – what a father you are?”
