My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 454

Shawn took off the black blindfold on Nicole and watched her eyelashes tremble gently. She had not

woken up because of the effect of the drug. Her snow-like face made her an indescribably fragile

beauty. He could not control himself, wanting to touch her eyelashes gently. But just a second before

his hand reached her eyelashes, Nicole suddenly opened her eyes, which stared at him emotionlessly.

Shawn took several steps back as if he had been startled.

There was no expression on her face. Nicole eased her wrists tied behind her. Feeling her blood

circulation blocked, she looked down at herself and found herself tied to a chair, across from which

many pairs of eyes of men in black were staring at her. Those black outfits were exclusive to the

Rogers family’s bodyguards. There was a hint of disgust on Nicole’s face at the thought of this.

This place seemed to be a secret factory in which a small number of white particles were suspended in

the air. The place was not too terrible, and the lighting was good.

Nicole deftly looked around at her surroundings before shifting her attention back to Shawn. She said

nothing, just sat there quietly, as if she were not abducted. Shawn was speechless as he was being

looked at by Nicole’s pair of clear, lustrous, upturned eyes. He somehow felt that he had seen her

before. He remembered her file, which clearly stated that her hometown was Great Oak, so he

wondered if he had seen her there.

The two had faced each other silently for a long while before Shawn snapped back, and the polite smile This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

returned on his face.

“I’m going to cut to the chase; I think you should know why my father gives you so much attention. He

has a viral infection of polio, and the pain from the cerebral cortex keeps him in extreme rage and may

even threaten his life.” Shawn paused for a while as if he was observing her expression. “The disease

has been tormenting for nearly a year. He is almost desperate when, after a year of searching, he still

could not find a doctor who could cure him. But it was you, on his sixtieth birthday, who brought him a

glimmer of hope.”

He frowned as he looked at Nicole’s unchanged face and continued.

“You have to know how terrible a man who was fighting for his life could do. For my father, it is likely

that the lives of all of you in the Riddle family aren’t as good as the white pills you gave him. So I warn

you to think clearly about what to say and how to do it.”

Nicole looked at Shawn, her gaze shallow, almost glassy, which sparkled and looked beautiful in the

light.

But she said nothing.

Shawn looked at her nonreaction, and an irrepressible impatience rose within him. “I know very well

that the medicine cannot be your own. Tell me honestly who gave it to you, whether it was from

someone in your organization, and I will let you go.”

He said he would let Nicole go, but he did not mention what would happen to the other members of the

Riddle family.

There was a faint look of a sneer in Nicole’s eyes as she scorned his inducing confession method.
