Chapter 172 Severing Ties
In the evening when it was dark, Nicole made a trip to the Anderson Residence. Surprised that she could make it to their place, William, Lydia, and Queenie couldn’t help but look curious when they saw her.
Walking in graciously, Nicole had specially dressed up tonight; there was delicate makeup on her face, and her red lips showed off the whites of her teeth as elegance emanated from her every move.
Her heels clacked with every step she took, and she paced in front of them slowly, greeting with a smile, “Good evening.”
Lydia’s face fell, but seeing that William was behind her, she straightened her expression and immediately pretended to be concerned. Taking a step forward, she said in a phony tone, “Nicole, there’s been a lot of criticism on the Internet for the past few days. Your dad and I are very concerned about you. Are you okay?”
Standing on the spot, Nicole smiled and tilted her head at her, saying, “Look at me. Do I look like I’m not okay to you?”
Her question stumped Lydia, and she looked a little angry, but she quickly recollected herself and said, “It’s great if you’re alright. Even though Daniella committed suicide because of you, you don’t have to take this matter to heart. After all, did it to herself.”
This woman, Nicole thought. Whether it’s spoken or hidden, she’s just trying to remind me that Daniella died because of me, as though she’s afraid that I’d forget about it.
When William saw that Nicole was back, he looked unhappy and snorted while staring at her. “Are you in regret now? It’s too late! She’s already dead because of you. What are you doing here? Don’t even think about clinging on to us anymore!”
Knowing that William would have nothing good to say, Nicole crossed her arms and said, “I’m here today precisely because of this. In order to not implicate the Andersons further, I hope you’ll announce to the media that we’re severing all ties between each other. Well, it’s not like we had much to do with each other to begin with, anyway.”
Hearing how breezily these words came out of her lips, William got even angrier, and he sprang up to his feet, glaring at her furiously. “What did you say, you unfilial child?!” he roared.

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
