Chapter 101

"Susan, Ethan is Nicole's younger brother!" Andrew Lucas's voice was icy.

"Mr. Lucas, Ethan got hit saving me!" Susan Thompson's nails dug into her palms. "Nicole tried to kill me!"

"Ridiculous!" Andrew grabbed her chin. "Nicole would never do that!"

Susan suddenly laughed.

A bitter, mocking laugh.

In his eyes, Nicole would always be the pure white lily. While she, Susan, would forever remain the venomous liar.

"Sister, how could you do this to Ethan?" Nicole Capra rushed over with reddened eyes. "He got hurt because of you—"

She turned abruptly to the bodyguards. "Throw her out! Ethan doesn't want to see her!"

Four black-suited bodyguards seized Susan.

"Let me go!" Susan struggled desperately. "Nicole, I hope you rot in hell!"

Her gaze pierced through the crowd, locked onto the operating room doors.

They opened.

A doctor emerged saying something, but she was already being dragged into the elevator. The words were lost.

Outside the hospital entrance, bodyguards stood like iron sentinels.

"Let me in!" Susan stumbled forward. "Just one look—"

She was shoved violently to the ground.

Blood sprayed across her lashes, blurring her vision.

Underground parking garage.

Susan leaned against the wall, each step like walking on knives.

Finally reaching the patient floor.

Nicole stood by the doorway, her freshly washed curls still dripping.

"My, aren't you persistent." Her smile was venomous. "Pity..."

"Move!" Susan reached for the door.

Two bodyguards instantly shielded Nicole.

"Andrew's men." Nicole waved her phone triumphantly. "He doesn't want you finishing Ethan off either."

"Toss her out." The order came lightly.

Susan was dragged roughly to the stairwell and thrown down.

Nicole's stiletto pressed into her stomach.

"Hurts?" She bent down, red lips nearly touching Susan's ear. "This is just the beginning."

"What... do you want?"

"If Ethan wakes up, he'll believe your lies." Nicole's nail traced Susan's cheek. "So..."

Her voice dropped to a whisper. "He'll never wake up."

"You're insane! He's your brother!"

"Hah." A cold laugh. "I killed our mother. What's a brother to me?"

She yanked Susan's hair. "Let's make a deal. Tell me... how do you want Ethan Sullivan to die?"
