Imprisoned While Pregnant, She's Back for Payback novel Chapter 511

**Keepsake 511**
**Chapter 511: The VIP Room Standoff**

“No need to rush us, dear. We’re simply waiting for someone, and then we’ll be on our way,” Olivia declared, raising an eyebrow with an air of defiance.

So, more of them are on their way? Nadine thought, her insides twisting with dread.

She trembled uncontrollably, the bed vibrating beneath her as her teeth chattered in fear.

Her eyes widened in disbelief—how could these women be so brazen as to act this way in a hospital setting?

With a surge of determination, she slammed her finger down on the call button, the shrill alarm outside the door cutting through the tension like a knife. “Room 8 calling!” it blared, echoing in her ears.

Her heart raced, but the sound of that alarm brought with it a flicker of reassurance.

“You just wait! How dare you cause a scene in a hospital? None of you are leaving here!” she shouted, lifting her chin defiantly, a spark of pride igniting in her eyes.

Olivia glared at the smug expression on Nadine’s face, feeling a wave of irritation wash over her. No matter how she tried to rationalize it, that look was infuriating.

She exchanged a knowing glance with Violet, who stood beside her with an air of calm.

Kylie had told me I’d like this adopted daughter once I met her. What a joke. Like her enough to give her a good smack, maybe.

Olivia clenched her jaw, her gaze narrowing as she noticed the bruises on Nadine’s arm.

So, someone’s already dealt with her? No wonder she’s in here. She deserves it, really.

Though Olivia rolled her eyes internally, her expression remained cool and detached, revealing nothing of her thoughts.

In stark contrast, Violet exuded an elegant composure, her eyes sharp and icy as they fixed on Nadine. The moment she turned her gaze toward the younger woman, the very air in the room seemed to freeze.

The staff at Primal Hospital were impressively efficient. Mere moments after Nadine pressed the call button, three nurses burst through the door, their faces a mix of concern and professionalism.

“What’s the matter, Ms. Nadine? Are you experiencing pain?” the lead nurse inquired, her voice polite yet laced with tension. But as her eyes swept across the scene, she froze, taking in the hostility hanging thick in the air.

“Uh…” she began, hesitating as she glanced between the three women before her gaze landed on Nadine. “What’s going on here?”

Fuming, Nadine hurled a cup from her tray against the wall. “These two are here to cause trouble! Get them out of my sight!”

“We haven’t done anything wrong. We’re merely waiting for someone,” Olivia replied coolly, leaning back in the visitor’s chair with an air of nonchalance, as if she owned the place.

Her calm demeanor caused the nurses to falter, uncertainty creeping into their expressions.

“Ms. Nadine, do you know these women?” one nurse asked cautiously, trying to gauge the situation.

In a fit of frustration, she seized a pillow and began to beat it against the bed, glaring furiously at the nervous nurses. “Do you even care about keeping your jobs? My father is the CEO of Ember Group, and my mother is a Larson from Kingsland! If anything happens to me, you’ll all regret it!”

Her voice rang sharp and fierce, trembling with rage.

Olivia and Violet exchanged a long, meaningful look, the tension between them palpable.

“So, this is the Embers’ adopted daughter?” Olivia remarked coolly. “Knows how to throw her weight around, that’s for sure.”

Violet’s tone dripped with mockery, her calm demeanor contrasting sharply with Nadine’s fury.

Nadine’s face flushed crimson with embarrassment and anger. “What’s it to you? Who do you think you are? Who sent you?”

Her anger burned so intensely it threatened to boil over into hysteria, but Violet remained composed, exuding an air of unshakeable confidence.

She smiled faintly, an enigmatic glint in her eye. “You’ll find out soon enough.”

Just as those words left her lips, a voice called from the hallway, urgent and anxious. “What’s going on here? Why are you all blocking the door?”

“Nadine? What happened?”

Kylie appeared outside the room, clutching her purse tightly, her wide, worried eyes scanning the scene within.
