Chapter 67
Monica let out a soft laugh. “Mr. Escobar, I understand how you teel. Nicole has risen up in the world, clinging to Laron like that. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Who wouldn’t want an easy life?
“Now, she’s playing the rich heiress, maybe even the future Mrs. Compton. She’ll never have to lift a finger for the rest of her life. But…
Monica slowly leaned in, her eyes dark as she looked at Jacob as if she were trying to hypnotize him. “Mr. Escobar, are you really okay with this? The Escobar family was ruined just because Nicole refused to forgive you. Don’t you want to get back at her?”
Every word was like a dagger in Jacob’s chest, instantly sparking a storm of rage inside him. How could he not want revenge? He dreamed of killing Nicole every single night!
Jacob took a deep breath. “So what now? You came to me today because you want to work together again?
Monica gave a slight smile. “I just don’t want to see you so defeated like this. But yes, Nicole’s been cruel to me too. Ever since she came home, she’s been instigating my parents against me. I’ve gotten the cold shoulder, and no one’s showing me any concem- do you think I haven’t suffered?

At that exact moment, a cold gust of wind blew outside, slamming against the windows with a sharp, eerie sound.
Nicole looked up, her eyes instantly widening. Her face dadu ned.
Jacob!
Jacob took slow steps toward her, mumbling as he moved, “Nicole…”
Her whole body tensed up. She stared at lum intently. “Jacob, you have the nerve to show up here? I guess what happened at the banquet wasn’t enough of a lesson for you.”
“It was enough!” he suddenly yelled, las eyes bloodshot and locked on her.
