Chapter 0568 Setting everything else aside, Nicholas' attitude was like a ticking tbomb.

Today, he might argue with Claudia and ignore her. Tomorrow, if they made up, Yasmine could easily beccollateral damage in his efforts to please her.

Someone like Nicholas, who had no limits, could do anything just to coax a smile out of Claudia.

Yasmine had already been dragged into my mess with Nicholas once, enduring something no one should ever have to experience. I couldn't let it happen again.

Seeing her attempts to reason withwere futile, she droppedoff at hand left. She was visibly upset the entire ride. I knew she was mad at me, but there was no way I could explain things to her any further.

At home, the breakfast Nicholas had prepared was still on the table. Without a second thought, I dumped the entire plate into the trash.

It wasn't appealing when it was warm, let alone cold-it only madenauseous now.

I called Wendy, asking her to bring Tabitha home. At least that would buystand minimize my contact with Nicholas. But all I got in return was the busy tone.

Wendy's phone wouldn't connect, and an unsettling feeling crept into my chest. Even if Nicholas and I were at odds, he wouldn't take it out on Tabitha, right? The more I thought about it, the more anxious I felt. By the third failed attempt to reach Wendy, I couldn't sit still anymore. I grabbed my car keys and rushed out.

I didn't know when the clouds rolled in and darkened the sky. Feeling a growing sense of urgency, I sped up. Moist air seeped through the slightly ajar window, chilling my palms.

A drive that usually took over half an hour was cut down to 20 minutes.

I thought I could pick up Tabitha soon, but I didn't expect to be stopped by the bodyguard at the gate of Coral Villa. 'Mrs. Hawk, anyone can visit Coral Villa except for you." Towering at least six feet in his black uniform, the bodyguard blocked my view of the villa entirely.

I yelled from inside the car, "Since you're callingMrs. Hawk, how dare you stop me? Get lost!" I didn't even bother correcting his address. The thought of being barred from a place I'd lived in for over four years was laughable, and my glare grew colder.

The guard bowed slightly but remained firm. "Apologies, Mrs. Hawk. Mr. Hawk has strictly ordered that you're the exception." Nicholas Hawk! My expression twisted with anger. 'Tell Wendy to bring Tabitha out here to see me!" The guard's voice remained robotic. "Apologies, Mrs. Hawk.

I slammed my hand against the horn. "Get out of my way! I'm taking my child! If you blackagain, I'll run you over!" I glared at him. But he remained unmoving, standing in front of my car with unnerving composure,

Anyone assigned to Coral Villa would've been carefully chosen th knew I wouldn't actually run him over. But even if someone did, he probably wouldn't budge. Frustrated, I had no choice but to step out of the car. The sline greeted me-Nicholas wouldn't letin.

I pulled out my phone, dialing his number. It rang for almost 20 seconds before he answered.

"Nicholas, what do you mean by not lettinginto Coral Villa? Do you think you're the only one with connections?

"Don't think I won't call someone to force my way in! You can't stopif I really want to get in, don't want to make a scene, but you'd better order your men to letthrough right now!"
