Chapter 277 - He is alive (1/2)

NICKLAUS HOWELLS, ALIVE!

''As shocking as it may sound, Nicklaus Howells is back!'' the TV presenter announced; Nicklaus Howells had been presumed dead due to a recent car crash which claimed the life of his driver, but it seemed we were wrong all along.

Nicklaus Howells, the CEO of Howells Corporation is alive and healthy. He didn't die during the crash, and according to him, he was rescued by an old man. It's a joyous moment for everyone especially his family, and we'll wait to hear more details from him.''

Michelle's grip on the remote controller loosened sending it falling to the floor. What did she just hear?

Nicklaus… Nicklaus is alive?!

Her chest heaved heavily that she nearly fainted from shock.

Oh, God! Now it was coming back to her, Tiana was super confident; she didn't look like someone who was mourning not to talk of looking like someone who had lost her dear husband; did she know he was alive all this while?

Wait… did he also know about her affair with Charles?

Michelle was worried that she wouldn't be able to have the Howells Corporation for her son but she was more worried about the fact that Nicklaus wasn't going to cover what she had done because he was close to Elizabeth.

What would happen to her?

Michelle breathed in sharply standing up from the couch, she paced around the parlor. But why did Tiana let Douglas take the company?

Her brows creased as her feet came to a halt. Had they perhaps been planning something? Michelle's eyes wandered as she thought.

Had they been leading them into a trap all along?

She knew something was wrong the moment Tiana agreed to let Douglas have the company but she didn't want to believe it, but with the appearance of Nicklaus, she knew she was right all along. Well, the worst that could happen to her now, was that she wouldn't be recognized as part of the family anymore because of her scandal with Charles, it was shameful but right now, that was not the most important issue, the more pressing issue was how to kill Douglas,

She promised herself she would kill him herself. He was too wicked for the mercy of prison sentence; she wouldn't let him get away with this, not this time.

Even if she was caught, she didn't have anything to lose anymore; she had been fighting for Richard all along, and thankfully he doesn't know anything about her plans, so he would be safe. He would take over the Warren's Corporation, and he would be fine.

She would face whatever punishment came her way. It was her fault; she had married the wrong person. If she, for once, went against her parents' wishes, she wouldn't be in this mess right now. Maybe now, they would regret forcing her into this marriage. Not only did they lose their daughter, she was about to bring shame to them.
