Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 313

Nicole somewhat restrained her emotions. Looking at Xander's painting in Mrs. Don's room, she thought about how clear and real the dream she had was.

She breathed, "Dad, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to Grandma and the Dons. Absolutely not!"

After saying that, she stood up and sat back on the main seat of the sofa. Then, she said indifferently.

"Come in!"

The door was opened, and Petty walked in.

Unlike a few days ago, Petty had lost a lot of weight and looked more haggard. When she saw Nicole, she was somewhat excited.

"Are you saying that Zac is still alive? Is that true?"

Her voice trembled.

She had seen him die with her own eyes. However, she could not take his corpse away. Later, it was Zama who said that she would help her retrieve his ashes, yet there had been no news.

Some people said that Zac had been torn into pieces by Samuel, while others said that Zac's ashes had been scattered into the sea. No matter what, Petty could not accept it. This was also one of the main reasons why she followed Zama to go against Samuel and Nicole without hesitation.

She couldn't let Zac die without a complete corpse or a burial ground. She had to seek justice for Zac.

Hearing the news that Zac was still alive, Petty was excited with anticipation.

Nicole looked at Petty. Although Petty was detestable for doing many wrong things, she had always been faithful to Zac in love.

She couldn't help but admire Samuel's way of doing things. He knew how to grab onto a person's weakness and let that person work for him willingly.

Back then, it was Samuel who deliberately let Petty go. Keeping Zac was also Samuel's plan. Now, it seemed that everything went as Samuel planned.

He was like an unhurried chess player who had everyone's movements under his control.

Nicole felt that she still had a lot to learn from Samuel, but now was not the time to think about it.

Seeing that Petty's eyes were filled with desire, Nicole took out her phone and showed the video from Samuel to Petty.

Zac was recovering from his injuries in a sanatorium. But he seemed to be doing well with more flesh on his face.

Petty held the phone and watched the video greedily, tears finally flowing down her cheeks.

Her eyes had been ruined, but it could not stop her from being excited in the slightest.

"He's alive! He's alive! Where is he? Where is he now?"

Petty looked at Nicole excitedly.

"I can't tell you where he is right now, but if you can help me, I promise you that I'll let you two go when it's done," Nicole said indifferently, "I can ask Samuel to keep you alive and help you go abroad. You can leave the Seapolis City with a sum of money and find a place where no one knows you to spend the rest of your lives. After that, the grudges between you and me, and the Greens will be dealt with."

Petty suddenly quieted down.

She looked straight at Nicole, trying to find something in her eyes. But Nicole's eyes were clear, and she was frank.

"Can I trust you?"

Petty finally opened her mouth, clearly regaining her composure.

Nicole was a little nervous, but she said indifferently, "You can choose not to believe me and continue to do all the bad things with Zama. However, at that time, it will be impossible for you and Zac to be together. If we can, we might erase Zac's memory. He may never remember you."

"Are you threatening me?"

Petty responded with a sudden eruption of malice.

Finn was uneasy outside. He wanted to come in and stop Petty but was stopped by Nicole.

"Whatever you say, it's up to you. Since I was able to save Zac in that situation, it can be seen how Zac treats me now. If you want to go against him, do as you please. But you have to think it over."

Nicole said calmly, but her palms were already covered in sweat.

That was what Samuel taught her, wasn't it?

There was nothing wrong with what she said, right?

Right now, she couldn't rehearse anything. She could only play it by ear and pretend to be calm. However, forced by Petty, Nicole still felt pressured.

Petty stared at Nicole. She was considering how much truth Nicole had in her words, but the Zac on her phone was real. She could even tell that Zac no longer hated the world. He was calm.

Could it be that Zac chose to work with Samuel and Nicole?

Petty could not figure it out. She had been staring at the video, her eyes filled with greed and longing.

Nicole knew the gaze. As a woman, she understood Petty's current mood, but they had different standpoints. She couldn't be so kind-hearted.

Petty finally compromised.

"Alright, I promise you. As your insider, I will help Zama and find what you want. But you have to keep your promise. Once this is done, let me and Zac go. We don't need any documents from you. As long as you give us a sum of money, we will leave the Seapolis City and never show up before you and Samuel."

"Okay, I promise!"

Nicole was secretly delighted without showing it.

Petty asked doubtfully, "Does what you said work?"

"What do you think? Samuel can die for me, what else can't he listen to me?"

Hearing Nicole's words, Petty finally felt relieved.
