Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 488

Samuel did not expect Laurel to be so angry. He wanted to catch Laurel's cane, but it was too late.

The cane directly smashed into Vincent's forehead, causing a bruise. It could be seen that the hit was heavy.

However, Laurel was not mollified at all. She was so angry that she almost stood unsteadily.

"He's only four years old! How could you beat him up? When you were four, did I hit you? He is your own son! How ridiculous! Are you insane?"

Laurel's eyes instantly became tearful.

Joseph was her eldest grandson.

She hadn't seen him for a long time. She didn't expect that the child would suffer such a torture.

"Mom, calm down. Sit down first."

Seeing that Laurel was almost out of breath, Nicole hurriedly stepped forward to support her and found a seat for her to sit down.

Laurel's tears finally flowed down her cheeks.

"You've grown up and experienced a lot. Now you're the president of Eternal Group, so you can do whatever you want, right? Your brother has been the president for so many years, have you ever seen him hit a child?"

Vincent finally spoke.

"Mom, Joseph is different from Lucas. Joseph is too stupid, so he needs to have his training wheels on."

"Bullshit!"

Laurel rarely swore, but now she was so angry that she even directly did so.

"Is my grandson stupid? He is good. What's wrong with him? You always compare him with Lucas. Why do you insist on Joseph being the same as Lucas? Vincent, you were not like this in the past. What's wrong with you?"

Vincent took a deep breath and said, "They are all children of the Green family. So, it is natural that I compare him with Lucas. Mom, I have been inferior to my brother since childhood, and now Joseph is inferior to Lucas. He can only work harder to stand on the same level as Lucas."

"What level? Lucas and Joseph will walk different paths in the future. Why should they be compared?"

What Laurel said made Lucas feel somewhat guilty.

Was it because of him that Joseph was beaten?

Lucas looked at Joseph and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Joseph hurriedly shook his head, saying, "It's because I'm too stupid."

"You're not stupid. In fact, sometimes you're smarter than me. Do you remember when we were in the backyard last time? I didn't even know how to flush ants from that anthill, but you knew. So, you're smarter than me."

Lucas didn't want to hear Joseph say this.

Why would they become like this?

They got along well in the past, right?

When Vincent heard what they said, he sneered and said, "Mom, did you hear that? Lucas is so young and knows how to design his own computer, but what about Joseph? He only knows how to flush ants from their nest. This is the difference! I can't let my son fall behind his peers, so I have to train him."

"Is this the reason why you beat him up? He's your son, not your soldier!"

Laurel was so angry that she trembled.

"Go to the ancestral hall and kneel in front of your father!"

Laurel was furious.

Vincent did not say anything. He directly stood up and left.

"Vincent!"

Samuel was about to say something else, but Vincent had already walked out and directly went to the study.

"Daddy!"

Joseph wanted to follow, but he was stopped by Vincent with a glare.

He was afraid of him!

Right now, Joseph was afraid of Vincent!

Nicole saw fear in Joseph's eyes.

It was an ingrained fear.

She felt distressed immediately.

"Mom, don't be angry. Calm down, I'll have the study cleaned up."

Nicole hurriedly winked at Samuel.

Samuel immediately understood.

"Mom, you go sit down first. Calm down. It was also my fault today. I'll have someone clean up this place. Nicole will take Joseph to apply medicine. Let's talk later, okay?"

Laurel finally nodded.

"Joseph, go to your aunt's room and get some medicine. Otherwise, Grandma will feel sad when she sees it."

"Thank you, Grandma."

Joseph sobbed.

Nicole hurriedly asked Lucas to bring Joseph to her room.

After the children left, Nicole said to Samuel, "There is a medical kit in the living room downstairs. Apply some medicine yourself and sit with Mom for a while."

"I see."

Samuel knew that Nicole cared about him, but she was too busy now. There were too many injuries on Joseph's body. They indeed needed to be treated properly.

"You should take off his pants and see if there are wounds on his legs."

What Samuel said instantly made Nicole's eyes become tearful.

"I see."

Laurel wanted to say something else, but she bit it back.

Nicole quickly left the study and went to the bedroom.

Lucas was so anxious that she almost shed tears. After she entered the bedroom, she immediately went to take off Joseph's coat.

"Take off your clothes. Let me see."

"I'm fine."

Joseph started to dodge and refused to let Lucas take off his clothes.

This was the first time Lucas was so angry that she cried.

"Is your father insane? Why did he hit you? Everyone's IQ is different. Why should we be compared with each other? If he were not my uncle, I would have killed me!"
