Nicole no longer tried to conceal the truth at that point. “I slept with him a few times, but that doesn’t make him my boyfriend! Why should I act as if I know him when it’d only bring me more trouble? Look at him! He clearly offended you in some way!”
Eugene scoffed before eyeing Penny, who seemed too stunned to speak. “Do you see that? That’s what I’d call cold-blooded.” Penny was beyond dumbfounded at that point. Her impression of Nicole was that she was rational, gentle, and gorgeous-Nicole was a perfect person in Penny’s eyes. However, Penny never expected Nicole to be such a cruel woman.
When Penny saw how Andy had stubbornly protected Nicole, she felt touched by his actions even though she was just an outsider. How could Nicole say such heartless words? “Andy told us everything, Nicole, Penny uttered. Nicole raised an eyebrow in surprise. Did Andy really tell on me? “What did he say?” Nicole asked.
“He told us that you made him wait there for me and that you told him to kill Olivia!” Penny cried. Nicole immediately denied this upon hearing Penny’s words. ‘Nonsense! When did I tell him to do that? Do you believe the words that come out of his filthy mouth?”
“Why would he rat you out otherwise? Hel could’ve just pointed his finger at Penny!” Eugene scoffed. Nicole’s mind was running at full speed at that point. She had to find a logical reason. Why? Why?
“He has been threatening me all along. I tried ending things with him a few times, but he’s a crazy man. He threatened to hurt himself and even threatened to die with me. Perhaps he thought that he wasn’t going to survive this, so he tried to rope me in to die with him!” Nicole ranted.
“I have to agree that he’s really in love with you!” Eugene commented. “I don’t have anything against Olivia, Eugene. Why would I attack her? You’re not going to believe what this madman says, are you?” Nicole asked.
“That’s true. Why don’t you talk to him, then?” Eugene said after thinking about it for a moment. “Wake him up!” he told Curtis. Curtis immediately nodded before getting a pail of water from the washroom. Then, he splashed the water all over Andy’s face. Andy immediately woke up in response to the ice- cold water and started coughing after that. The water on the ground turned red in seconds.
“Ask him!” Eugene nudged Nicole. Nicole felt her heart aching at the sight of Andy. If there was anyone who had ever treated her with sincerity, it was the man who was lying on the ground. She couldn’t think of anyone else. But humans were selfish creatures-even though she cared about Andy, she cared more about her own survival. Apart from being nice to me, there’s nothing else that he can do for me! I can’t allow myself to be dragged into this.
She hardened herself before wagging a finger at Andy and scolding him. “You can die on your own if that’s what you want, Andy. Don’t drag me into this. Since when have I ever told you to kill Olivia? How dare you blame me for something that you did? Are you even a man?” she hissed.
Andy stared at the crazy woman in disbelief after hearing her words. Nicole was the perfect goddess in his heart. She was usually gentle, warm, and thoughtful; she’d check to see if he had enough food and clothes and tell him a lot. about herself. She said that she had been in love with Eugene for years. Even though Andy had ruined her plans, she hadn’t blamed him at all. She even gave him some money to survive.
Andy had always felt like he owed his life to Nicole throughout the years. He was constantly finding ways to repay her. So, he was willing to do anything for her, even if it meant he had to allow Eugene to torture him to his death. He didn’t protest even then.
