nAfter paying a quick visit to Aston, Nicole drives her car to her company building. Working hours had just started when she reached the extravagant office building. Now that she was looking after a patient, it became quite hard to reach her office early.

nShe gets off from her car and one security guard stepped forward to parked the car to the garage. Handing the car keys to the guard, she makes her way to the main entrance of the building.

nIt was when her feet were about to step inside the building that she felt some force landed on her back. She turned around to know what happened but as soon as she did that, two eggs were consecutively thrown in her direction. The eggs landed on her dark blue blazers, the egg white rolled down her clothes while some were stuck in her beautiful long black hair.

nStanding frozen at the unexpected situation, Nicole narrowed her eyes at her stained attire and then shifted her gaze to the woman who was standing before her. She was old enough to be her mother and the look on the woman's eyes showed that she had a deep hatred for the Chairwoman!

nBeing glared at with eyes full of contempt and despised; it was never a new thing for Nicole Yang! Yet she could never get used to it.

n

"Die! You villainess!

" The woman who must be in her late 50s shouted as she gritted her teeth and glared at the young Chairwoman.

nNicole opened her mouth to retort. She wanted to question why she was attacked and insulted by a woman whom she never knew! The moment she was about to stand up for herself, her eyes landed on the medium-sized framed photo which the woman hugged tightly to her chest.

nShe nervously squeezed her dress when she saw the familiar face of the man in the photo! It made her tight-lipped and she couldn't utter any word for herself.

n

"You wench! Are you happy now? After destroying everything that my husband worked for his whole life, just how great must your life be!

" The woman spatted each word as she glared at Nicole. Choking the villainess in the neck and made her suffer until she dies was more than tempting for her, who had lost all hope in life.

nNicole couldn't move. She wished to run away from that place and avoid the humiliation she received! But her legs won't move even when she tried. She wanted to say something but she was too ashamed of herself to do that.

nThe woman ran towards her and grabbed her on the neck of her blazer.

"You are already so rich! But why did you take away the only treasure that my husband had?!

"

nWith almost all her energy leaving her body, Nicole stood there not even attempting to free herself from the woman's hands.

nTears flowing down the woman's face as she ranted at Nicole.

"Because of what you did, my husband committed suicide last night!

"

nNicole's face turned pale at the shocking news but she doesn't know what to say. Should she apologize? That won't solve anything. It might even make the condition worse!

n

"How will you pay for your sins? You break apart my family, you evil!

" The woman shrieked as she desperately shook Nicole yet the latter stood still, resembling a living corpse!

nWith the people surrounding them, the place was full of murmurs and gossips.

n'Who is that crazy woman? How dare she creates a scene here?'

n'There are many rumours surrounding the Chairwoman. Some even say that she is a complete evil!'

n'She is so rich but she always preys on the small and weak. That serves her right! What a true villainess!'

nHearing the commotion, the security guards came running and immediately grabbed the stranger who attacked their Chairwoman and distance her from Nicole.

n

"Let me go! I'm going to kill that devil!

" The woman struggled as she attempted to break free from the strong grip of the guard's hands. But it was useless as she was just a weak middle-aged woman.

nThe Captain of the security guards instantly ran to Nicole and stood before her.

"We're sorry for being late. I will take care of the situation. Please forgive me.

" He bowed as he apologized.

n

"Call the police.

" The Captain tells his subordinates who were standing at a distance.

n

"No.

" The guards who were currently trying to drag away the woman, instantly halted when they heard the Chairwoman. They all turned their head to the Chairwoman who stood still with her eyes glued to the ground.

nNicole lifted her head and looked at the Captain of the security guards.

"Let her go. No need to involve the police.

" Her words shocked all the people there, including the Captain.

n

"But Chairwoman, this might happen again if we didn't take legal actions.

" The Captain of the guards respectfully replied.

n

"I'm fine. So, let's stop here.

" She eyed at the guards who were holding the woman and said,

"Let go of her.

"

nThe guards withdrew their hands when they heard the Chairwoman's order and distance themselves from the woman. The woman still looked at Nicole with hatred and contempt but... her face turned blank when she witnessed Nicole's next action.

nLooking at the direction where the woman was standing, Nicole bowed as low as she could. Standing straight again, she muttered,

"I know that this won't solve anything but I sincerely apologize.

" She gave a quick final glanced at the framed photo and turned around. She ran to the garage where her car was just parked and practically flee from the place.

nAston was currently having a visitor who was none other than his friend, Liam Ryu. The actor really looked forward to this visit since last night because the man insisted to tell him about his sister, face to face and not by a phone call.

n

"What is this? Your room is guarded by 6 guards!

" Liam exclaimed as he eyed at the door where the guards were standing outside.

n

"Don't get me started!

" Aston desperately shook his head when he recalled the thing that happened just an hour ago.

nNicole insisted to hired 4 more guards and with the other four who were already hired to guard the room, that would be a total of 8! After much arguments, they barely settled to hired 2 more and the guards become 6 in total.

nAston helplessly shook his head. It seems like that little Chairwoman was adamant to make him stuck here!

nObserving him from head to toe, Liam gave him a doubtful look.

"Didn't you say that you're in a small accident? But your wounds tell me that it's an act of violence.

" Liam sighed when he figured out what was going on.

"Don't tell me that you make a deal with those gangsters again!

"

n

"Come on, Liam. That's not important now. I'm still alive and that's enough.

" Aston gave his strict friend a pleading look but his face turned pale when he heard his friend's response.

n

"Do you want me to arrest you and interrogate you?

" Liam asked as he put up a stern face. He already figures out everything. Aston was injured on the very day he received news about his sister and that couldn't be a coincidence. That lousy gang must be behind this!

nAston inwardly grunted. For someone like him who had a messed up life, it was not a good thing to have a brilliant police officer as a friend! His detective friend really loves to threaten him!

n

"I got to receive some information about my sister. Isn't that good enough?

" He muttered as he narrowed his eyes at his friend who was sitting beside his bed.

nLiam took a deep breath and then look at Aston with a displeased face.

"If you ever do something silly again, I will catch all those gangsters, including you.

" He firmly stated.

n

"Okay. Okay.

" Aston nodded with a smile and asked,

"Tell me now. What about my sister?

"
