All those relatives who used to fawn over her father and crave for shares and dividends of the group, now surrounded her father's 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 couldn't speak. He only gasped for breath.

Nicole's mother suddenly knelt on the floor and begged, "Please, stop harassing my husband. He's still in bad condition. Let's stop arguing here. Can we talk outside?"

Instantly, the ward was in an uproar.

"Your family is already like this, but he still dares to stay in the hospital. Do you have money for medical treatment?"

"That's right! He doesn't deserve to spend money on hospital bills.

If he doesn't pay us back soon, we'll throw him out."

A fat woman was even more enraged. She stepped forward and grabbed Nicole's mother's hair directly, attempting to pull off her earrings.

When Nicole saw this, she rushed forward, pushed the fat woman away and shouted, "Stay away from my mother. Don't you dare touch her!"

But she was too late. The fat woman had successfully pulled off the earrings, making her mother's ears bleed. It looked horrifying.

Nicole couldn't bear it. She wished she could take her mother's pain.

If she was the one who was hurt like this, she could manage. But seeing the blood in her mother's 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.

"Ahhh!" Nicole screamed desperately. She was so consumed by agony.

Angela's Library

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 Nicole's father into selling the shares of the Lawrence Group at a low price.

Then, someone spoke up from the crowd.

"Stop pretending to be pitiful.

Do you think it can help you escape from your debts?"

"That's right! Nicole, you are responsible for this situation! You have to deal with this crisis. If you hadn't insisted on doing it your way, the Lawrence Group wouldn't have collapsed."

These words ignited the anger in everyone's hearts.

Some of them rushed to Nicole and grabbed her hair. The others pulled her clothes and trampled her like a stray dog.

Nicole's 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 Nicole's head.

The heavy metal casing caused a bad gash on Nicole's forehead.

In an instant, blood oozed out and dripped down her face, covering her eyes.

"You all stop it!" 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.

Nicole's 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.
