"No way? I saw it with my own eyes! Nicole is a real wretch; she went after Darlene twice in a row!" Clarissa insisted as she wiped away her tears.

Even though Clarissa's words were convincing, Norman trusted Nicole's character more.

Nicole was generally gentle and kind. Sure, she could be a bit stubborn at times, but she would never intentionally hurt anyone.

Norman couldn't imagine Nicole going after someone, even if it was Darlene. "I don't believe it! I'll give her a call."

Realizing the situation had escalated, Norman knew he shouldn't rush to find Nicole. He decided to call her first. Unfortunately, despite his multiple attempts, Nicole never answered.

"What do you think? Imagine falling down the stairs yourself!" Clarissa rolled her eyes disapprovingly at Norman.

Given the circumstances, she saw

    The streets were deserted at 1:00 am. There was hardly a soul in sight; only a few vehicles zoomed by."Please, someone help!" Nicole cried out desperately as she held her feverish daughter and dashed down the road, hoping that someone would come to their aid. Unfortunately, none of the passing cars stopped, even after she had run for several blocks. Meanwhile, the bikers had already caught up with Nicole. When they noticed how out of breath Nicole was, they were in no rush to attack."Damn, you're in good shape! I can't believe you can still run with a baby in your arms.""Were you a track star or something? Why don't we race and see if you can outrun a motorcycle?""I'd advise you to save your energy.

Jenna's going to be okay."Nicole snapped out of her daze and looked up at him with a grateful smile. "You saved us back there, and I haven't even properly thanked you yet."Henry's eyes were filled with worry as he noticed her exhaustion. "It's the least I could do. You don't have to thank me."Nicole was at a loss for words when she heard that. All she could do was nod and focus on Jenna. As the pair were chatting idly, Gregory and Fantine were soon wheeled out of the operating room."Mom, Dad!" Nicole rushed up to greet them with Jenna in her arms.The surgery was a success. The middle-aged couple needed to stay in the hospital for treatment after their bones were properly set.Nicole took a moment to console Fantine and Gregory after they had settled into their hospital room.

Sophie and Chester inquired as soon as he got home.Richard thought it would be funny to play a prank on them, so he put on a long face and didn't give them a straight answer.Sophie and Chester immediately jumped to conclusions and thought Celia had refused to collaborate with them. Chester walked up to Richard, gave him a pat on the shoulder, and said encouragingly, "It's alright, son. It's not the end of the world. There'll always be other opportunities. We'll just have to give it our all next time." Richard was laughing his head off on the inside because he had already closed the deal. He was just messing

"Morgan, are you busy?" he asked. Morgan was puzzled. "No, not really. What's up?"The director cleared his throat. "Oh, nothing much. We were planning to have a wrap party since we've finished filming. Care to join us?" He was a little nervous. After all, Morgan was a star, and her time was valuable. He couldn't force her if she had something to do and couldn't attend. Still, it was just a pity since everyone had been working together for so long but had never eaten together at a nice restaurant.

"Director, is it true that no one wants such young babies?" Morgan felt a bit emotional. How could people be so heartless as to abandon their own babies? The director of the orphanage let out a deep sigh. "You don't know the whole story. Our janitor found these babies at the orphanage's entrance. Someone left them there and disappeared. "We've been taking care of them for about half a month now, and their condition has improved significantly."

    "Let's go, Celia. We shouldn't disturb the twins' rest," said Yardley as he supported Celia and got ready to leave. Celia waved her hand and stood in front of the incubator. Even with the glass barrier, she could still discern the condition of her children. She reached out to touch them, as if her touch could make them feel her presence. She resolved to take her children home safely. Celia lingered for a while before finally leaving the hospital. Once they were home, Celia locked herself in her room, disregarding any attempts anyone made to talk to her. Yardley headed to the company to attend to some matters, while the housekeepers remained at home. Meanwhile, Morgan couldn't shake her concern for Celia, so she came to visit her. Upon entering, she heard the housekeepers upstairs calling out, "Mrs. Hughes, are you feeling better? Come out and have some soup!" However, there was no response from inside. "What's going on?"

    Otto didn't back down and insisted on his right to see his grandchildren. However, Yardley paid him no mind. He shook his head and said, "Celia needs rest. Please come back another day."The next second, he instructed the housekeepers to close the door and left Otto standing outside.

He could tell that Yardley and Celia weren't ordinary people judging by their attire. They were certainly not ones to be trifled with."Did you say that we had twins?"

    "How could you hit me because of her? I'm the mother of your child!" Sophie shrieked.She had never suffered such humiliation. She had been showered with love from a young age and wasn't accustomed to such harsh treatment. So, she became agitated and emotional."Isn't it all because of you that things turned out this way? Would such a thing have happened to our company? Would Richard suddenly want to break all ties with us? It's all because of your reckless behavior!" Chester vented years of suppressed grievances and dissatisfaction as if it would make him feel better.Celia watched as Chester and Sophie argued fiercely. She stepped forward to stop them, especially since there were many people outside watching the spectacle."Stop fighting. This isn't the time or the place for arguments!"Sophie went at Chester and started hitting him. Celia tried to break up their fight, but Sophie pushed her. Celia took a few steps back at that.

Just when their relationship had slightly improved, the situation took a turn for the worse again."We're breaking up for good!"Morgan left after saying that.
