    "Anyway, they really do look a lot like you and Mr. Johnston.” "Alright, you''re starting to creep the kids


    out," June teased her friends after she was done with her makeup and changing.


    Soon, Lulu joined them and asked Nicole, "Should we go downstairs now?"


    "I think so. The guests are waiting," Nicole replied, preparing to lead everyone downstairs.


    The group left the room in high spirits. But then, out of the blue, a woman suddenly barreled toward


    them and lunged at Lana.


    Nicole instinctively pulled Lana back a couple of steps to evade the oing woman. However, before


    she had time to react, the woman had already pounced on Nn. Nicole rushed over to save Nn,


    but it was toote.


    "Mommy!" Nn cried out in panic as he was seized.


    The woman then ced a knife in front of his throat.


    "Nn!" Nicole''s face nched at once, but she knew she had to remain calm andposed.


    Pushing Lana to Tia, Nicole whispered, "Protect Lana. No matter what happens, don''t intervene. You''ve


    got to make sure that Lana is safe."


    "Miss Nicole, you..." Tia''s eyes welled up, but upon sighting Nicole''s resolute expression, she could


    only grit her teeth and give her a firm nod. "Got it. Don''t worry."


    Even if she herself was in danger, she would do anything to protect Lana. She knew that Nicole would


    never abandon Nn in such a situation. She could not help her in any other way, so the least she


    could do was ensure that Nicole did not have to worry.


    Taking a deep breath, Nicole looked at the person who had taken Nn hostage, her eyes filled with a


    cold determination. "Raine, you''ve been hiding for so long just for this moment, haven''t you?"


    No one had expected Raine to show up. They had even thought she had fled San Joto for good.


    "What a pleasant surprise, Nicole." Raine scoffed. "I initially came here to kill you, but that was when I


    didn''t know you had kids. I''ve changed my mind now. Say, will it hurt more if I hurt them instead of


    you?"


    She had been holed up for a long time and refrained from subjecting herself to public scrutiny even


    during daytime. Up until now, she had only dared to get some food for herself at night, and she had


    done it all for this day.


    She had snuck up on Nicole and was nning to kill her when she was not paying attention.


    Unexpectedly, she then heard about the twins, who were Nicole''s children. That was why she had


    changed her mind. She wanted Nicole to suffer in agony. That way, she could finally satiate her wrath.


    "Raine, stop your nonsense. Doing this will only add to your crimes!" Lulu yelled.


    "Hmph, do I look like I care? Look at me now! I''m worse than dead. But I can''t die yet. Even if death is


    certain, I must drag Nicole down with me. I won''t let her off the hook easily." Raine red at Nicole with


    venom in her eyes as she gritted her teeth like a predatory creature.


    "You really are crazy. Nicole was just too kind-hearted.


    That''s the only reason why you''re able to hurt people today." Lulu stared Raine down disdainfully.


    If they had known earlier, they would have sent Raine to jail.


    "Kind? Hah. She''s more vicious than I am." Raine''s eyes turned bloodshot as she hysterically dered.


    "She knew about James''s n a long time ago, but she didn''t do anything. She just waited for my


    downfall and took over DillCorp."


    "You have only yourself to me for your bad judgment.

    Even if we had told you back then, what do you think was going to happen? Not only would you not


    believe us, but you would also think that we were jealous and trying to sabotage your rtionship with


    James. Did you think we had any reason to tell you?" Lulu retorted.


    At that time, James was probably the only person Raine trusted, while they were thest people Raine


    would trust. If they had told her, she would only loathe them more.


    Therefore, they had little reason to speak up.


    "Raine, you''re the one who''s not using your brain. Are you


    ming us now for your ownck of judgment? You were stupid back in school, but it''s been years, and


    you have still shown no improvement. Even after you''ve ended up like this, all you know is still to get


    back at everyone else." June''s expression twisted into a grimace as she red at Raine.
