Kelvin sat back on the sofa after Nicole left.
Heaving a sigh of relief, he picked up the glass of water from the table and took a sip. Vedder went downstairs and found him.
"She's not going to honor your deal."
With a sigh, Vedder placed a recorder in front of Kelvin. His tone was calm but determined.
"You don't know that. Besides, no one wants to die. I'm sure that woman doesn't." Kelvin frowned slightly.
"You want to bet? I'm sure she won't leave,"
Vedder said firmly.
"If she stays, I'll kill her and her son."
That was the simplest but worst plan. There was no telling Kerr's reaction.
"You won't dare. The young master will have your head." Vedder knew that if it were not for Jack, Kelvin would not consider murder to solve the problem with Kerr. "Have you seen Jay Ning?" Vedder asked.
Kelvin shook his head.
"That boy is a spitting image of the young master. He must be his son."
Vedder then stood up and walked out, leaving Kelvin in the living room sighing.
Kelvin's eyes suddenly lit up. Vedder had just given him an idea.
At the hospital, Nicole headed back to the ward.
She was about to enter her room when she saw Harley coming from the other end of the corridor.
"Doctor Su, can I leave the hospital now?"
Nicole had to leave the hospital and figure out a solution. She could not just sit by and do nothing. Her next moves would decide her future.
Her happiness was on the line. She would never give it up easily.
Harley nodded.
"Your physical indexes are almost normal now. If Kerr agrees, you may leave the hospital. I can arrange your discharge."
Harley did not really think that Nicole was seriously ill. Kerr was just overreacting.
"I have to leave the hospital and take care of something today. Will y
t him concentrate on his meeting. I'll just wait for him in his office. It's not an emergency anyway."
Jared nodded, and Nicole headed to Kerr's office.
She approached Kerr's desk and picked up a pen sitting on it. Once again, Nicole imagined Kerr holding the same pen.
She pulled Kerr's office chair away and saw a safe under the desk. She wondered what could possibly be inside.
Nicole knelt in front of the safe and hesitated. She then went ahead and entered her birthday as the combination. To her surprise, the safe door flew open.
An envelope was sitting inside the safe. She suddenly thought of something. Nicole reached for the envelope and opened it with trembling hands. It contained 2,642 dollars.
The corners of her mouth lifted up slightly. This was her hard-earned money. She did not expect that Kerr had kept it. She put the money back into the envelope and put the envelope back in the safe. Then, she stood up and walked to the French window.
The door of the office swung open.
"Who are you? Who allowed you to come in here?" a serious female voice asked.
Nicole slowly turned around and saw a young woman in a black suit. She must be a new secretary.
