Chapter 35
Monica didn’t have the courage to show her face in public after that humiliation.
She stared at Nicole’s face on the scren. Menica had to admit – Nicole had inherited Heidi’s beauty. Her features were defined and delicately shaped, enrding aloot elegance
Nicole was stunning, even without trying
Monica looked at herselt. Her features weren’t particularly striking, but she had a good sense of style. Every day, the would pur effort into looking her best. That made up for what she naturally lacked.
She spent tens of thousands of dollars every month on beauty treatment couldn’t compete with Nicole’s natural beauty.
Monica wanted nothing more than to claw Nicole’s face to pieces!
Aaron must have been blinded by Nicole’s looks. That had to be the only reason he wanted to marry her.
But despite her jealousy, Monica couldn’t ignore what Aaron had said.
What if Aaron started digging into what happened himself? Would she get caught?
Heidi would be extremely disappointed with her if she found out Monica was the one who hurt Kenneth. She might even kick Monica out of the Boyd family!
A flicker of fear flashed in Monica’s eyes. She quickly made a call
you won’t s
The moment the call connected, she said coldly, “If anyone starts investigating, you’re taking the tall. Don’t even think about exposing me, or you single cent of your payment!”
“Ms. Boyd, you never said I had to take the blame! It took a lot forme to get my nursing license and land a job at Silverwood Hospital. If I lose this, I’m done!* the person on the other end pleaded.
Monica had no sympathy. “What’s more important–your nursing license or the money? I’m paying you enough to do nothing and live comfortably for years “You don’t have to help me now, but if you don’t, you won’t get a single reward for all that you’ve done before!”
“And one more thing The threat in Monica’s tone intensified as she added, “If they find out I was behind this, do you think they would let you never a way out for you from the start!!

Monica could hear the tremble in the other party’s voice. Left with no choice, the nurse choked out, “I understand, Ms. Boyd, But what it the Comptons or the Boyds come attecme?
“I’m just from an ordinary family. If my parents find out, they’ll be devastated. And I still have a family to support!”
Monica gritted her teeth and snapped, “Stop whining! Just take the blame first. It’s not like I’m going to abandon you, so stop overthinking it!”
After her warning, Monica hung up and immediately blocked the nurse’s number.
Monica wasn’t the only one who saw the interview. Jacob, who was bored at work at Escobar Group, also saw it
jacob’s eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw Aaron pull Nicole into his arms and announce her as his fiancée.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and replayed the video repeatedly.
Once he was sure Nicole was engaged to Aaron, Jacob’s eyes narrowed sharply, his gaze cold and menacing. His hands curled into tists, and his joints cracked from the pressure.
“Nicole, you have got some
nerve!”
rve!” Jacob snarled.
Did she run straight into Aaron’s arms after dumping Jacob? Or had she already gotten involved with Aaron long ago behind Jacob’s back?
So after she had enough of taking care of Jacob for three years, she wanted to marry into the Compton family?
Did she think that the Escobars weren’t good enough for her?
Jacob was furious, but he had no way to take it out on Nicole After she had moved out, he still hadn’t figured out where she lived.
Nicole had blocked him on everything, and he was too proud to stoop to getting a new number just to contact her.
Suddenly, Jacob recalled something, and he quickly scrolled through his call log. The moment he found the number in those digits, he called it without hesitation.
