All those relatives who used to fawn over her father and crave for shares and dividends of the group, now surrounded her fatherâs hospital bed.
The sycophantic expressions on their faces before were now replaced by arrogance and disdain.
Their attitude had completely changed.
Nicole saw her father lying in bed with his mouth wide open.
However, he couldnât speak.
He only gasped for breath.
Nicoleâs mother suddenly knelt on the floor and begged, âPlease, stop harassing my husband.
Heâs still in bad condition.
Letâs stop arguing here.
Can we talk outside?â
Instantly, the ward was in an uproar.
âYour family is already like this, but he still dares to stay in the hospital.
Do you have money for medical treatment?â
âThatâs right! He doesnât deserve to spend money on hospital bills.
If he doesnât pay us back soon, weâll throw him out.
â
A fat woman was even more enraged.
She stepped forward and grabbed Nicoleâs motherâs hair directly, attempting to pull off her earrings.
When Nicole saw this, she rushed forward, pushed the fat woman away and shouted, âStay away from my mother.
Donât you dare touch her!â
But she was too late.
The fat woman had successfully pulled off the earrings, making her motherâs ears bleed.
It looked horrifying.
Nicole couldnât bear it.
She wished she could take her motherâs pain.
If she was the one who was hurt like this, she could manage.
But seeing the blood in her motherâs ears, she felt like her own flesh was being torn apart.
The pain in her heart was unbearable.
It was so painful that she could hardly breathe.
She felt like she was about to die at any moment.
âAhhh!â Nicole screamed desperately.
She was so consumed by agony.
But this scene did not arouse pity or sympathy from the crowd.
Their only concern now was their money.
Since the Lawrence Group had gone bankrupt, they thought their money had been wasted.
They had totally forgotten how they had morally coerced Nicoleâs father into selling the shares of the Lawrence Group at a low price.
Then, someone spoke up from the crowd.
âStop pretending to be pitiful.
Do you think it can help you escape from your debts?â
âThatâs right! Nicole, you are responsible for this situation! You have to deal with this crisis.
If you hadnât insisted on doing it your way, the Lawrence Group wouldnât have collapsed.
â
These words ignited the anger in everyoneâs hearts.

Some of them rushed to Nicole and grabbed her hair.
The others pulled her clothes and trampled her like a stray dog.
Nicoleâs mother rolled her eyes.
She was so angry that she fainted.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction where the noise came from.
It turned out that someone threw a phone on Nicoleâs head.
The heavy metal casing caused a bad gash on Nicoleâs forehead.
In an instant, blood oozed out and dripped down her face, covering her eyes.
âYou all stop it!â A deep voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Then, everyone felt an intimidating aura.
The clamorous crowd instantly quieted down.
They all froze in place.
Nicoleâs eyes were covered with blood.
But despite the hazy redness in her sight, she still saw the figure of a man in the distance, approaching her with a walking stick.
He emanated an aura of fierce determination.
