Refusing to believe she had stomach cancer, he mistook her retching as her repulsiveness. Did she hate him so much that his kisses made her feel sick?

At the thought of this, his handsome face darkened.

“Impressive, Nicole! You're really something."

His fierce eyes were filled with cruelty and hatred. "But you have no choice but to live by my side for the rest of your life.”

He then turned around, left the room, and slammed the door shut.

Nicole was relieved that Jarrod left. She struggled to go to the bathroom and spit out the medicine she had just taken.

After retching for a while, the pills appeared in the toilet bowl, along with blood.

She breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, her weak stomach had not yet digested the pills. She was able to spit them out.

She got up from the floor, covering her belly. She walked to the washbasin and washed her face with difficulty.

Although she knew she no longer had hope in her life, she still didn't want to give up until the last moment.

It was a long and sleepless night for Nicole.

But in the morning, she got up early, washed up, and put on her favorite dress. Then, she went to the Lawrence Group for the farewell party in high spirits.

Aside from her, her parents, Wesson and Dora were also present. They distributed the compensation to the employees together.

Most of the employees were loyal supporters of the Lawrence Group.

When they saw that Wesson had lost weight and seemed to have aged so much, they all shed tears.

Wesson couldn't help crying. After all, he had run the company for more than forty years and planned to pass it down to Nicole. But unexpectedly, he had lost everything and even owed a huge debt. How could he not be sad?

He was reluctant to let go of the company. But unfortunately, this building had to be taken away by the bank tomorrow. He asked Dora to push him to his office on the seventeenth floor to stay there for the last time.

When they arrived at the office, Dora made Wesson his favorite drink.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."
