Actually, Nicole aimed the knife at Howe's neck. But since he fell, it hit his shoulder.

But she didn't intend to give up. With red eyes, she pulled back the knife and stabbed him again.

"Ah! You crazy bitch!" Howe exclaimed in terror. He rolled away, narrowly avoiding the blade.

However, Nicole was determined to kill him. So, she relentlessly chased after him.

Unfortunately, Howe's leg was injured. He could only crawl on the ground, struggling to escape.

He turned to his bodyguards and shouted angrily, "You! Why are you just standing there!"

It was only then that the two bodyguards reacted. They rushed forward, intending to restrain Nicole.

“Howe, who the hell did this to you?" Jamie shouted angrily.

Howe gritted his teeth, pointed his trembling finger at Nicole, and exclaimed, "That little bitch! She used dirty tricks on me and stabbed me many times. She even stabbed Jarrod, too."

Jamie was enraged. She lunged at Nicole and raised her hand to slap Nicole.

Jamie was unprepared, so she staggered back a few steps. Five red fingerprints immediately appeared on her face.

It turned out that although Nicole's one hand was restrained by the bodyguard, she instinctively slapped Jamie with her free hand when she saw Jamie running toward her.

Nicole was furious. Jamie seemed in cahoots with Howe. They always conspired against her. And what they did was an endless cycle of schemes and manipulation.

Nicole glared at them fiercely, wishing she could tear them apart.

"Jarrod..." Jamie's mouth gaped open in disbelief. Her eyes widened in shock. She glared at Jarrod with tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. "How can you let this bitch slap me?"

Jarrod's expression turned serious. He stammered, "No, I..."
