Trouble in Paradise (Arianna and Nicholas) novel Chapter 451

Last night, I didn't sleep at all.

Money could make the world go round. During this special time, Douglas employed some unconventional methods. Those who could be bribed would always be open to bribery.

I negotiated with everyone on the list provided by Neal, and I grasped the information I wanted. Claudia pulled Daniel's catheter during his dialysis. Calling her methods cruel would be an understatement.

Nicholas forced a bitter smile as if there was nothing left for him to prepare.

"Just tell me," he urged.

I had never felt this conflicted before. Should Claudia remain by Nicholas's side? He had fallen ill and needed care. He was no longer the brother who could protect her at all times. Would she never give up on him?

A string of questions raced through my mind. The more I thought about it, the more I realized I couldn't answer them.

I looked at Nicholas calmly. "Nicholas, tell me, are you doing well now? With Claudia by your side, do you feel more at ease?"

I thought the answers to these questions could only come from him. I had said that as long as he wanted to keep living, everything could be his choice.

Nicholas looked up in surprise as if his heart was being struck heavily. He felt an inexplicable tension. He had no idea why I was asking these things, but surely, it was intentional.

He knew I hated Claudia. He knew I had framed Frances. But could I really despise him so much as to drive away everyone around him? He didn't know how I could be so cruel.

His eyes were filled with surging anger. He had lost Daniel, Frances was also imprisoned, and I divorced him.
