Right Person, Wrong Time

Logan arrived with Ryan's help, accompanied by the person who had reported the incident to him. Clearly, this group of people had prepared for this occasion from the way they swarmed forward and even had a few reporters in tow.

It seemed that this accusation was not a simple one and involved the Yael Family's power. The pill was most likely provided by them as well, and it explained why Natasha's symptoms heavily resembled a miscarriage when Nicole took her pulse earlier.

As soon as Logan came forward, his face sank as he asked, "What's going on here?"

Natasha had barely any strength left in her body, but she pointed a trembling hand at Nicole and gritted out, "M-Mr. Yael… You have to help me. S-She forcefully made me take a pill and killed the baby in my stomach."

At her words, Logan's sharp and dark eyes flickered toward Nicole immediately as he said in a grave voice, "Nicole, I know that Natasha offended you, but how could you do such a thing?"

Even when confronted by Logan, Nicole only chuckled and asked languidly, "Oh? What did I do?"

Upon seeing that Nicole was still in denial, Logan declared firmly, "Drugging her, of course! Nicole, it wasn't Natasha's fault that you couldn't enter the science academy at first, but because you didn't show up for the interview in time. Although Natasha took your place, you can't do something this cruel to her either!"

Nicole couldn't help but let out a small laugh. Her eyes were icy as she stared at Logan, asking in an amused voice, "Mr. Yael, you haven't even asked me anything yet, but you've already made a decision just like that. Don't you think you're being too hasty?"

Keeping her eyes fixed on Logan, she continued with a smile, "Or perhaps you've already planned this matter with Natasha, and that's why you're immediately accusing me without question right after you arrived?"

Logan's face flushed crimson with fury at Nicole's articulate response. He had never expected her to be so eloquent.

"Nicole, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"I just want to say that when something like this happens, the first thing you should do is look for evidence to determine the truth instead of accusing me right away. With the way you're acting, I'm starting to suspect that this only happened because you're trying to frame me."

In an instant, Logan's face darkened. He slammed his cane on the ground viciously and roared, "Nicole, take a close look at Natasha. How can she be trying to frame you when she's in this state?"

Natasha's ears had begun to ring from the pain, but she mustered her remaining strength and stuttered, "It's her, it's Nicole. She… hates me for taking her place, s-so she did this to me. M-Mr. Yael, you have to help me. My… My stomach really hurts."

Logan lowered his head to look at Natasha and said with a frown, "Hurry up and call an ambulance to take her to the hospital."

At the sound of his voice, Natasha struggled to lift herself off the ground and pleaded, "Mr. Yael, you have to help me. I've lost my baby."

Logan nodded and waved a hand to call his men over. "Those over there, come over and check if she's in any danger before the ambulance arrives."
