Without saying a word, Cruz knelt down directly.
With a thud, his knees hit the ground heavily, and he looked at Nicole with an expectant expression.
Nicole chuckled and then turned around and walked away.
“But I am not the kind of person who would use hurting others to gain satisfaction, Cruz. When I say I don’t love anymore, I really mean it.”
She left without a second thought, shattering Cruz’s newly risen hopes.
“Nicole!”
He didn’t care about his own image and quickly got up to grab her wrist.
“Don’t go, don’t go, there’s one more thing, one last thing to see…”
He pleaded, his voice tinged with tears, and no one would believe that this person was actually Cruz,
Nicole didn’t speak, but she also didn’t leave, she continued to follow Cruz.
They walked to the third floor, where no one lived, only a confinement
room.
Nicole’s gaze gradually became puzzled, but Cruz showed no hesitation, directing his assistant.
“Open the door and get her out.”

Soon, Nicole knew what Cruz meant by his words.
The person locked in the confinement room turned out to be Angela! And her mental state was clearly not good. She was dragged out of the confinement room by several bodyguards, and when she suddenly came into contact with the sunlight, Angela screamed and covered her face.
After seeing that the person outside was Nicole, she went crazy again, crawling over to her legs and breaking down in tears.
“Nicole, it’s you, it’s you! I was wrong before, I’m sorry for what I did to you. Cruz never liked me, he has always loved you. It was my mistake, I shouldn’t have slandered you. It’s all my fault!”
She knelt on the ground, knocking her head while speaking, disregarding both dignity and face, without the glamorous appearance she once had. The current Angela is clearly a lunatic.
It’s not hard to imagine what Cruz did to her to make Angela change like this.
Nicole felt no sense of satisfaction in revenge in her heart, only fear.
But Cruz was happy, he had kept Angela here all this time just for this day, to let her apologize to Nicole in person.
He smiled, “Nicole, are you happy?”
Nicole glanced at him, then at the trembling Angela.
“Let Angela go.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Cruz’s expression immediately became puzzled. He didn’t understand why Nicole was upset. Angela had always been bullying her. Didn’t she want revenge? Didn’t she want to see her in her current miserable state? Cruz had prepared so

carefully for this moment, thinking that by doing so, Nicole would change her mind.
However, she still had no reaction, as if all of this had nothing to do with her anymore.
His heart trembled, suddenly not knowing what to do, what else could he do to win back Nicole.
He was in a panic, grabbing Nicole’s hand.
“Why? Don’t you want to retaliate against her? I have already helped you punish her, Nicole, can you look at me?”
He was on the verge of tears, even though he had found her, she was right in front of him. But Cruz felt like he couldn’t hold onto Nicole, she was far away from him.
He couldn’t understand, nor could he comprehend.
However, Nicole just laughed, her eyes full of pity.
“Was Angela the only one who hurt me in your heart?”
