Chapter 456


    Shawn’s patience had run out. He stood up to look at Nicole, who had been keeping silent all along, with


    a slight impatience on his face.


    He was just about to open his mouth when the door behind him mmed open, and Nicole soon heard


    the shrill of a woman.


    “What makes you so long?”


    Lyana strode in. Those bodyguards in front looked back at her in unison, startling her for a moment.


    Shawn squinted when he saw her.


    She quickly calmed down and recognized that those people were from the Rogers family. Lyana nced


    at them and then swaggered up to Shawn and looked at this brother-inw of hers with disdain.


    “Do you need to bring so many men just to deal with one girl?” she asked coldly.


    Not sparing a second nce at Shawn, she picked up a bradawl the thickness of an index finger and


    sneered at Nicole, who was keeping her head low.


    “Has she told you where the diamond is?” A look of disdain shed in Shawn’s eyes, but he still replied,


    “Not yet.” Lyana looked at him disapprovingly. “What the hell are you doing here? I sent you to


    interrogate her, and you were sitting here waiting? Torture her and wake her up if she remains tight-


    lipped.” She walked toward Nicole with the bradawl, the smile on her face changing from graceful to


    sinister.


    “I’ll see how stubborn you can still get when I cut your face and smash your hands so that you won’t be


    able to seduce my man and steal things again.”


    Then she walked around Nicole and was about to wield the bradawl at Nicole’s hand, which was tied


    behind the chair.


    Shawn watched Lyana’s action but did not stop her. Just a second before Lyana could hurt Nicole, a loud


    noise suddenly came behind her. As if something had blown up, the powerful explosion almost shattered


    the eardrums of the ck d bodyguards at the scene. They all covered their ears in pain. Lyana was


    so frightened that her hand trembled while Shawn frowned and looked back. Nicole, who had been


    sitting quietly, saw the opportunity. She took action while they were distracted.


    Nicole broke free from the handcuffs, gently threw her hair away, and picked up the sharp de that had


    fallen out with one hand.


    The de, made of an unknown material, was glinting with silverish shes. With just a flick of her hand,


    the de cut the rope that was made of a special material in half, and they


    dropped to the floor at once. Now that Nicole had broken free, she turned around and grabbed Lyana’s


    wrist. Lyana, who grew up like a spoiled child, was no match for Nicole’s strength. She screamed in pain,


    and the bradawl dropped from her hand. Nicole caught the bradawl mid-air and pointed it at Lyana’s


    temple.


    She looked coldly at the men from the Rogers family and said, “Don’t you all move.”


    The table had been turned. Shawn looked at what had happened and was exasperated. He knew that


    nothing good would happen when Lyana came.


    He motioned for everyone behind him to put their weapons down. Nicole cocked an eyebrow, and Shawn


    shot a re at her, slowly pulled out a pistol from his waist, andid it on the floor while his eyes were on


    Nicole.


    Nicole looked at Shawn and did not believe him. So she still stood where she was, motionless.


    Her hand was steady, and the bradawl poking at Lyana’s temple did not move an inch. Lyana was


    frightened that she pleaded incessantly, saying that she would repay her kindness, hoping that Nicole


    would let her go.

    Shawn looked grave, as he knew the explosion was not an ident. Their location had most likely been


    exposed.


    Thinking of this, he suddenly made up his mind and beckoned his men behind him to fall back
