    Nicole handed the piece of youtiao she had soaked in soy milk to her father, then continued eating the other dishes. She was small, and her appetite was small as well. Afraid she would not be able to eat anything else, she reluctantly pushed the remaining half bowl of soy milk toward her father.

    The look on her face as she gave it up made Wang Yun and Big Mouth laugh.

    Wang Yun smiled.

    “Nicole, even if it’s delicious, stop when you’re full. If you suddenly eat too much, your stomach will hurt,” he reminded her.

    Nicole nodded rapidly.

    She patted her round little belly.

    After picking up one more shrimp dumpling, she stopped eating. Her small stomach was visibly puffed up.

    Seeing her greedy little expression, Big Mouth teased her with a grin.

    “If you eat too much, you’ll get fat. Then you won’t be pretty anymore.”

    Nicole puffed out her cheeks unhappily and looked at him.

    “I’m not fat.”

    Wang Yun watched the two of them joking and shook his head. He signaled for them to stop and handed Nicole a miniature camera.

    “Nicole, this is a small surveillance device. Put it somewhere in your room with the best view. Your father and I will be able to see everything Yura does to you.”

    Nicole immediately grew serious and nodded.

    “Okay, I understand, Big Brother Wang Yun. I’ll go right now.”

    She ran upstairs to her room.

    Wang Yun turned to Hart, whose expression had also become solemn.

    “This device also has storage. It can be used as evidence to report Yura later.”

    Hart nodded.

    Upstairs, Nicole finished installing it and called down,

    “Big Brother Wang Yun, I’ve set it up. Is this spot okay?”

    Wang Yun nodded, then looked at Hart.

    “Mr. Hart, do you have a tablet?”

    Hart nodded.

    “Aviva, bring the tablet over.”

    “Yes, sir.” Aviva’s voice came from the kitchen.

    A moment later, she brought the tablet over.

    Wang Yun took it and thanked her.

    Hart told Aviva to return to her work.

    After a few adjustments on the device, Nicole’s room appeared on the tablet screen.

    Wang Yun asked Hart to bring a pair of earphones.

    Hart took out the wireless earbuds he usually carried. Once opened, they connected automatically to the tablet.

    Wang Yun and Hart each took one earbud and watched the screen. Nicole had placed the camera on the coat rack near the door.

    Big Mouth went to the kitchen to teach Aviva how to make some Chinese pastries.

    Hart and Wang Yun drank tea in the living room while Nicole read in her room.

    Everyone was waiting for Yura to arrive. They were also wondering what method she would use.

    The viewers in the livestream were just as anxious.

    “I wonder what that vicious woman Yura is going to do to little angel Nicole this time!”

    “Exactly. It’s nerve-wracking. Such a sweet little princess!”

    “That Yura is truly cruel and cold-blooded!”

    “With Big Brother here, that witch won’t be able to do anything!”

    “Haha, that’s accurate!”

    “Yeah, Big Brother specializes in dealing with people like her!”

    Just then, the doorbell rang. Everyone immediately became alert. Aviva came out of the kitchen. Hart signaled for her to open the door.

    She nodded and walked to the entrance, opening it.

    It was Yura.

    She looked calm, as if she had not been the one who planted the listening device. Her makeup was carefully done. Her hair was worn down today, held with a diamond hairpin.

    The hairpin had been a gift from Hart. The white dress she wore had also been sent by Hart. Her high-heeled sandals and handbag were as well. Everything she had on had come from Hart.

    What Yura did not know was that these items had been chosen by Hart’s wife, Nicole’s mother. Because she could not visit often, she had asked Hart’s assistant, Hugh, to deliver them.

    Yura, however, had always believed they were selected personally by Hart for her.

    After the listening device had been discovered, she had made these preparations. She intended to use her appearance to stir Hart’s affection.

    If Hart agreed to be with her, she would naturally do her utmost for Nicole’s surgery. If he rejected her—

    Then she would not show mercy.

    Yura paid no attention to Aviva. Holding her delicate handbag in one hand and her medical case in the other, she walked straight into the living room.

    When she saw Hart and Wang Yun drinking tea, she paused briefly.

    She had not expected this man to be here. A trace of unease rose within her. Things seemed to be moving beyond her control. But she had already reached the point where there was no turning back.

    Wang Yun’s presence disrupted her original plan. She spoke quickly to the two of them.

    “Mr. Hart, I’ll go upstairs to check on Nicole’s injury first.”

    After saying that, she went upstairs without looking back, almost as if she were retreating in panic.
