Trouble in Paradise (Arianna and Nicholas)
Chapter 176

Claudia froze momentarily before her voice immediately morphed anto a tearful tone Nick don't you know?"

Explain it clearly! What am I supposed to know?"

He tightened his grip around my waist as he lost control, obliviou the fact that he was hurting me I felt my heart drop, and I felt slightly guity, but I could still bear it

Back then, anger had blinded me. The misconception of my dream and my reality caused me to act impulsively. I didn't think about how Daniels weak body would not be able to handle such an overwhelming truth.

Although I wanted to have my revenge on Claudia, I never wanted to hurt any of Nicholas' family members.

For the first time in my life, I saw a crazed look in Nicholas' eyes as Claudia continued to cry.

"Ariana was the one who did it. She sent all the evidence she had to slander me into the group. Nick, I've never done any of those things. Even the voice recording is fake. Nick, you have to believe me- Nicholas did not listen to a word she said next as he quickly ended the call. He opened his Whatsapp with trembling hands and asked in a low voice, "Which group did you send it to?"

I remained silent. Nicholas did not need to hear my answer as he had already found his family group chat and had begun scrolling through the messages within.

In the dim car, his cold gaze was hidden in the dark. I could only use the weak light coming from his phone screen to sense the

Tocked mo his eyes at a loss as to how I should answer him. He was right did deserve it

But now was supposed to forgive a woman who had wanted to cover my husband from the stan? How could he expect me to forgive the woman who was the cause of my unhappy marriage?

My silence seemed to have provoked him as I was immediately slammed into the car door.

Suddenly, Nicholas smiled. He didn't seem to be able to feel the pain in his waist as he shook my hands away and said calmly, "Brenda's dead, so you want my dad to suffer alongside Claudia framed you once, so you falsified a bunch of evidence to slander her.

"I can accept the fact that you accused her of slandering you on social media. But how dare you say that she has such improper feelings toward me!"

I clutched my neck as I breathed heavily. My voice was hoarse as ! said, "Nicholas, do you really not know how Claudia feels about you?"

I would never forget the crazed look in her eyes as she stabbed herself with the knife!

"Nonsense!" Nicholas exclaimed self-righteously.

I wanted to say something else but decided against it.

I remembered that, a few days ago, Nicholas told me himself that if he had to choose between Claudia and me, he would be willing to send Claudia abroad and choose me.

But Claudia's simple plan of playing the victim had allowed her to keep Nicholas by his side.

I chuckled. "Claudia is the most kind, beautiful, and innocent sister in the world. How could she possibly do such a vicious thing?

"To avoid tainting the beautiful image of her in your heart, you've decided that I was to be blamed for everything else!"

I curled up in my seat as my heart was in so much pain that I could
