Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 608

"No!"

Nicole suddenly woke up and was drenched in water. She was wet all over and felt freezing.

When she opened her eyes, she understood what had happened. The wounds on her back and arm hurt like hell with the cold water.

Nicole looked sullen.

"Why did you do this?"

"Why? I just wanted to wake you up. The sun is so bright. Who gave you the right to sleep in the day? Do you really think you are here to enjoy yourself?"

Laurel said coldly. Her malicious look would make one nauseated.

It occurred to Nicole that Petty was gone.

Laurel picked up her slightly startled look.

Laurel smiled proudly, "Who are you looking for? Petty? Think about it. She grew up in this house, and Samuel nurtured her with my consent. Now that she is against me, how do you think I will treat her?"

Nicole's heart skipped a beat.

"What did you do to her?"

She slept well because of Petty. But to her surprise, Laurel wouldn't even let Petty off.

It looked like Laurel intended to alienate her.

Everyone who had worked for her was replaced. Nicole knew she had been put in a disadvantageous position while sleeping.

Laurel was quick!

Nicole forced herself to calm down.

She wasn't in the mood to deal with Laurel because of the pain. She got out of bed to find clothes to change, but Laurel stopped her.

"Stop. Did I say you could change your clothes?"

"Are you crazy? Do you think we are still in the feudal society?"

Nicole truly believed there was something wrong with Laurel's head.

Laurel only had Samuel now. Wasn't she afraid Samuel would leave her when he found out what she had put Nicole through?

Laurel flushed slightly.

"You cursed me?"

"If calling you crazy counts, then I guess I did."

Nicole didn't want to waste another second with her and jumped out of bed to find clothes, but Laurel said, "Good for you! An ignorant chick like you dares to step on my toes. You think you can disrespect me because you have Samuel on your side? Do you know why Lucas hasn't returned? He should have been home long ago."

"What are you talking about?"

Nicole grew agitated.

Yes!

Their men had gone to pick up Lucas, so he should have returned by now.

Unless....

She stared at Laurel.

"What did you do to him?"

"Don't worry. Lucas is a Green and the future of the family. I wouldn't hurt him. But I can't have him around you, because you will teach him nothing good. From today onwards, Lucas is only my grandson. Without my permission, you won't be able to see him again."

"Laurel, you have stepped out of line!"

Nicole had assumed Laurel was just being a jerk to her because of the housekeeper. She might let it go after blowing some steam. After all, she had to rely on Samuel, but Samuel was obviously on Nicole's side. Anyone with half a brain would know now it was a bad time to piss Nicole off. So, was Laurel having it out with her?

Laurel smiled, "What? This is too much? Mark has killed my son. It's kind enough for me to allow you to remain married to Samuel."

"At the end of the day, you are still mad at me for Vincent's death, aren't you?"

"Mad at you? You think too highly of yourself. I said I didn't like you. I never do. I will keep alienating you from Samuel. I will make sure your husband and son both hate you. Now I have hidden Lucas. You will never see him again no matter how much you want to."

Nicole was enraged.

"Old lady, you're pushing your luck here."

"So what? What can you do to me?"

Nicole couldn't take it anymore.

She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Laurel's neck, fiercely asking, "Where is Lucas?"

Laurel was not afraid at all. On the contrary, she smiled complacently when she saw how anxious and furious Nicole was.

"Are you agitated? Are you mad? Choke me all you want. If you kill me, how will you explain to Samuel? No matter what, I'm his mother. Nicole, let me tell you. If you want to see your son, you must please me. Now scram. Clean up the house and mop the floor. Maybe I'll tell you where Lucas is and let you see him if I am in a good mood."

Laurel was simply humiliating Nicole.

Nicole was the wife of the man in the family. She came from the wealthy Bush family. Before she got married, her parents had never asked her to do this.
