Chapter 190: Secrets hidden
Nicole took a leisurely sip of her wine, the deep crimson liquid swirling elegantly in her glass as she fixed Remo with a mischievous smile. Her eyes danced with an enigmatic glint, as if she held a secret that she was itching to share.
Remo narrowed his eyes at her, his senses on high alert. He knew that look – it was the same one she had worn right before dropping a bombshell during their earlier conversation. Whatever Nicole had on her mind, it was sure to be trouble.
Nicole set down her wine glass with deliberate care, her gaze fixed intently on Remo as if measuring his reaction. "I’ve been doing some digging," she began, her voice low and conspiratorial. "And I’ve uncovered some information that I think you’ll find... intriguing."
Remo leaned forward, his interest piqued despite himself. "Go on," he urged, his voice barely above a whisper.
Nicole’s smile turned into a smirk, her eyes alight with excitement. "It seems that your wife’s family has some... skeletons in their closet," she revealed, her words dripping with malice.
Remo’s blood ran cold at her words, his mind racing with possibilities. "What do you mean?" he demanded, his voice taut with anticipation.
Nicole leaned back in her seat, her expression smug as she savored Remo’s reaction. "Let’s just say that Charles Falcone wasn’t as clean as he liked to appear," she explained cryptically. "And it seems that your dear wife may have inherited more than just his fortune."
Remo’s jaw clenched at the insinuation, his mind reeling with the implications of Nicole’s words. If what she was saying was true, then Abby’s father was hiding secrets far darker than he had ever imagined.
"What do you mean?" Remo asked, his voice tinged with suspicion.
