Chapter 2708


    “Ah!”


    Following a shriek, the sound of a knife falling to the ground echoed crisply in the room.


    Everyone who was present was startled. None of them understood what had happened. It seemed that


    Chloe had just attacked Nicole with the knife, but it made no sense as to why she was in pain while


    Nicole seemed to be unharmed.


    Chloe, who was also shocked, looked at Nicole with disbelief. ‘What just happened?’ Nicole nced at


    the knife on the ground and stood up, her gaze cold and dark.


    At that very second, everyone gasped. “What?! How did she escape?!”


    She was clearly tied to the chair, so how did she set herself free?


    Nicole flexed her wrists as she shot Chloe a cold, furious re. “I’ve been injured, so my skills may not


    be at their peak, but a mere rope would never hold me down.”


    “Hurry up! Go after her! Otherwise, well be screwed!”


    Chloe immediately retreated in a panic and ordered her assistant as well as the kidnappers to take care


    of Nicole.


    Everyone exchanged looks and figured that what Chloe said was right, so they immediately did what


    they were told.


    Nicole watched as they rushed toward her and eximed,” Patricia, it’s time!”


    She was not sure if she could handle all of them herself at once. Thus, to be safe, she decided to leave


    it to Patricia.


    Patricia sprung out of nowhere and swiftly dealt with the kidnappers, leaving them all lying on the


    ground and moaning in pain thereafter.


    “Nicely done,” Nicole praised her with a smile.


    When Patricia arrived, she had already received a signal from Nicole: she was actually the one who


    had quietly knocked the knife out of Chloe’s hand with a rock. At that time, she was still hiding behind


    some cover.


    Chloe was initially livid when she saw Patricia, but her anger quickly turned to fear. For a moment, her


    mind was in chaos.


    “Ms. Riddle, what should we do now?” Patricia asked, knowing that the situation was under control


    now.


    Nicole picked the forged document up and handed it to Patricia. “Give this document and the knife to


    the police. Both of these constitute solid evidence.”


    As soon as Nicole had spoken, police sirens began ring from the outside.


    Chloe shuddered and it was then that a realization dawned upon her. “You set me up!”


    It was all a part of Nicole’s n from the very beginning. She thought she had found an opportunity, but


    as it turned out, she had fallen into Nicole’s trap once more.


    As Nicole did not possess any evidence of what Chloe had previously done, she had decided to set


    Chloe up, and today, she had managed to catch her in the act.


    “What should we do?” her assistant asked, dumbfounded.


    She did not expect that they would be the ones getting caught today.


    Livid beyond words, Chloe red at her assistant with bloodshot eyes and yelled, “Shut up, you idiot!”

    ‘What should I do now? I can’t even escape.’ The police quickly barged in and, after assessing the


    situation in the room, they took everyone away.


    Nicole and Patricia left the police station after their testimonies had been recorded. By the time they


    were done, Jared’s car was already parked by the road. He had been waiting for her.


    “Why are you here?” Nicole was surprised.


    Jared gently held Nicole’s hand and replied, “Don’t take such risks next time.”


    “It’s just Chloe, so it’s not much of a risk,” Nicole said with a beaming smile.


    It was all part of her n, and she was sure that nothing would go wrong.


    Otherwise, she would not have taken the risk to pull it off. After all, it was just Chloe, and as far as that


    crippled wretch was concerned, there was very little risk involved.
