Chapter 275

Nicole spent the entire night in nightmares, waking up to relive the torment of what had unfolded. She believed Charlie had

ruined her.

Sure, she admitted to scheming and using every trick in the book, all to be with the one she loved. Morality took a backseat as long as she could secure his affection.

But she felt she was doing the right thing.

All she craved was to be with her beloved.

In an ideal world, she wished to be a pure, kind-hearted girl, cherished and loved by her beloved, like an innocent princess. That was her genuine desire.

Yet Charlie remained cold and heartless, refusing to reciprocate her love no matter what.

Had she not been pushed to the brink, she wouldn't have resorted to such extremes, sacrificing not just her family's interests. but even her own innocence.

She went through all of this because of her crazy love for Charlie.

She didn't care about anything except wanting to love him wholeheartedly, even if it meant employing shady methods to be with him. But she never had any intention of hurting him, But all she got was Charlie's ruthlessness.

He knew her plans, stayed silent, and swapped the sperm in secret, thrusting her into this humiliating situation.

Recollections of her artificial insemination flooded back.

The sperm surgery had a whopping 60% failure rate because of her fragile body.

She endured the pain of the test tube baby method. She went through a lot on that operating table and finally conceived his child.

She was ecstatic back then.

Tears of joy streamed down her face as she cradled her belly, feeling as if she held the entire world in her hands. Yet, the outcome was cruel.

In the end, she felt like a fool, played by the man she loved, becoming a complete joke.

A single denial and a disdainful look from Charlie plummeted her from the paradise of happiness into an eternal hell.

The pain and despair, like thorny vines, wrapped around her, making her bleed and deforming her beyond recognition.

She didn't know why she ended up like this.

She refused to accept it.

In an instant, hatred burgeoned.

All the tenderness and love in her heart morphed into piercing resentment and overwhelming hatred.

With bloodshot eyes, she stared at the ceiling, her love, hatred, and resentment swirling like a dark mist. No trace of light remained: it was consumed entirely by darkness. Charlie's heartlessness and cruelty had become an indomitable knot in her heart.

Rose olnerved Nicole, felt distressed and anxious, and swiftly consoled her, "Honey, don't waste your tears on someone like Charle He's not worth it. You're an amazing woman, and you used to love him so much, but he couldn't see your value. It's his loss! Now, sweetheart, try to broaden your horizons. There's more than one guy like Charlie in this world."

Wibon added, "Absolutely, Nicole! I think Andrew is just as good as hum

Chapter 275

Both of them took turns comforting Nicole. Slowly, the bitterness and hopelessness in Nicole's eyes faded, though they lingered beneath the surface.

Nicole nodded obediently, saying, "Wilson, Mom, you're right. I'll listen to both of you."

But she thought, Charlie! Kamryn! Just wait. Today, all the humiliation you've heaped upon me will return to haunt you, twice

as strong!

Late at night, Zackery returned home from a dinner event, his face etched with weariness and irritation.

Rose, who had finally managed to put their daughter to sleep, sat on the couch, waiting for him. Seeing Zackery's gloomy expression, her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly stood up and said, "Zackery, are you okay? You don't look good."

Zackery irritably tossed his coat to the servant, gesturing for them to leave, and sank into the couch, fixing his gaze on Rose. He snapped, "You went to the hospital today, right? What were the results?"

He completely disregarded Rose's worry.

Rose was accustomed to his attitude. She nodded and handed him the test report beside her, saying. I had it checked twice, and the results were consistent. Nicole is indeed carrying Andrew's child." Rose's tone proved that she felt relieved.

She was happy that Nicole would bear Andrew's child rather than Charlie's.

At least Nicole wouldn't have to endure the pain of abortion, and the baby could be well

But Zackery showed no joy. He quickly scanned the test results and anxiously declared, 'During the dinner today, I inquired, and it seems the Franco family is clueless about this."

"Nicole is smart. With such a significant matter, she must have covered her tracks. It's natural that the Franco family is

unaware.

-

Zackery scoffed, displeasure evident in his tone. "Smart? If she were truly smart, she wouldn't have let a good man slip away so easily. Using such underhanded tactics, she has completely disgraced the Duarte family" Rose felt embarrassed and rushed to defend, "She's still young and acted on impulse. She knows she messed up."

Zackery impatiently waved his hand, his expression darkening as he turned to Rose. "Enough! What's done is done. There is no need for more explanations. We need to replace a solution immediately. You know what I accidentally discovered today while I was out?" "What is it?"

The Goodwin family is planning to arrange a marriage for Andrew."

Rose felt like she'd been struck by lightning and blurted out, "What about Nicole?"

The Goodwin family wasn't just any family; they were top-tier elites second only to the Franco family in Faycaster and had close ties with the Franco family.

Raphael's cherished family member, Charlie's aunt Regina, married the eldest son of the Goodwin family, giving birth to their first grandson, Andrew, whose position was rock-solid.

Andrew was sure to be the heir of the Goodwin family and the future head of the household.

Nicole, carrying his child, could secure her position by marrying into the Goodwin family. If she successfully bore a son, would rightfully become the matriarch of the Goodwin family, bringing significant benefits to the Duarte family. Zackery and Wilson hadn't forced Nicole into abortion because of this strategic alliance.

Now, the Goodwin family intends to arrange a marriage for Andrew. The chosen bride wouldn't be from a small family but from a powerful alliance, mirroring Andrew's mother, Regina, from the Franco family.

Once such a significant marriage decision was made, there was no turning back.

Nicole's pregnancy would be of no use.

THUTAM

Chapter 275

Without the Goodwin family's approval, even if she gave birth to the child, he would remain a secret child with no status or respect except shame

Rose suddenly understood why Zackery's face had turned pale.

She pleaded, "Zackery, you have to think of a solution. Nicole has reached a dead end. You must save her."

"If she can't see reason and insists on going down a path of no return, what can I do to save her?"
