Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 761

"Who's there?"

Nicole quickly became alert, but there was no sound outside.

Was it her delusion?

Nicole got up and walked gingerly over.

She was in the Don Family. Anyway, Nicole didn't think Maia would be able to make trouble in the Don Family.

Nicole went to the window and discreetly opened it, only to find no one there.

Did she just hear it wrong?

Nicole couldn't help thinking.

Maybe Tim's phone call made her a little nervous.

Nicole heaved a sigh of relief and closed the window, but she got a shock as she turned around.

On the floor behind the windowsill a cardboard box had been thrown in at some unknown time.

Who did that?

Who could come and go with ease in the Don Family?

Nicole frowned, walked gingerly over and gave the box a gentle kick. It didn't make any noise. Then she bent down to pick it up and put it to her ear.

She had to be careful, because she was really afraid of someone throwing in a bomb or something.

There was still no sound inside.

Nicole was both cautious and curious.

Who could have thrown that in?

What was in it?

Nicole slowly leaned over, making sure it wouldn't explode, and opened the box with a wallpaper knife.

In the box was a child's toy, a Barbie doll, which had been cut with a knife and looked a bit scary.

Nicole had always thought this Barbie doll looked familiar.

Suddenly she got a thrill and ran out quickly.

"Uncle Mark, where's Zoe?"

Mark was stunned by Nicole, but soon he said, "Zoe went out with the housekeeper. What's wrong?"

"It's getting dark. Why haven't they come back?"

Nicole's heart fluttered.

Mark looked at the time. It was already past seven.

"I will make a call. I just attended to some business and forgot to check the time."

Mark quickly called the housekeeper, but it couldn't get through.

Nicole's heart sank little by little.

She thought she didn't have to worry about the kid's safety in the Don Family.

Nicole quickly returned to the room. She picked up the phone and saw an address on it, the sender of which had been deliberately hidden.

At this point, Nicole didn't mind whether it was a trap or not.

She ran out of the room quickly, but was stopped by Mark.

"Is there something wrong? I'll go with you."

"No, I've texted Samuel. He'll be here soon. Uncle Mark, you'd better check if that housekeeper has been up to anything and with anyone lately."

Mark nodded guiltily when Nicole said that.

"Okay, I'm going to check it out. You and Samuel should be careful. Call me anytime if need be."

Mark never expected something like this to happen in his own home.

Nicole nodded and walked quickly out.

Samuel had arrived.

"What's wrong with Zoe?"

"Let's talk on the way."

Nicole quickly hopped in the car and gave Samuel the address.

Samuel frowned slightly.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that he didn't start the car, Nicole was worried and asked.

Samuel whispered, "It is an abandoned garbage dump. What are you going to do there?"

Nicole had to tell Samuel what had happened.

Hearing what Nicole said, Samuel drove the car as fast as he could toward the garbage dump.

When they arrived, there was a truck full of garbage filling in the dump.

It was smelly, but Nicole didn't care much about it.

She quickly got out of the car, hoping to see Zoe here, but the place was full of garbage, layer upon layer, and nothing could be seen at all.

Samuel got out of the car and whispered, "If they threw someone in there, it would be hard to find."

"Why?" Nicole looked at Samuel with a puzzled look.

Samuel hesitated. "Because the trashes are compressed before being thrown in. Even if it is a person, it has probably been squashed."

Nicole staggered and almost lost her footing.

"Zoe's not there, is she?"

"Help! Help!"

Just when Nicole didn't know whether Zoe was in there or not, she suddenly heard a faint cry for help.

"Zoe!"

Nicole's mind was full of Zoe now, and she rushed to find her following the sound.

Nicole wasn't so surprised before she saw Maia, but when she saw what Maia was like now, she was shocked.

"How did you end up like this?"

Her bones all over her seemed to have been broken, and she was covered with blood all over. She looked frighteningly pale, and her voice was weak, as if she could die at any time.

Maia said with a wry smile, "Are you happy to see me like this?"

"Nonsense! Shut up if you don't want to die."

Nicole gave her a sharp scolding, then looked at Samuel.

To be honest, she didn't know what to do in such a situation for a moment.

Samuel looked at Nicole, then looked at Maia, and then said, "Call the police and call an ambulance."

"Don't call the police! Please don't call the police!"

Suddenly Maia pleaded.

Nicole frowned.

"See what you are like now. If we don't call the police, you want us to bear this responsibility? Maia, we got you out. That's the best we can do. If you continue to push your luck, and continue to frame me, don't blame me. I am not a fool. I don't have any interest in why you look like this, and it's none of my business. Either you die here or we call the police and an ambulance. Choose one."

Nicole was not the one she used to be, and she certainly didn't let her sympathies run amok.

She knew what Maia had done to her, and there was no need to be nice to Maia now.

Maia looked at Nicole and said bitterly, "Please. Just take me to the hospital. I promise I won't bother you. Please."

"No, either I call the police and let them deal with it, or you stay here."

"Nicole, just for Tim's sake."

"Shut up! You're just insulting Tim by talking about him now. Maia, you really make me sick."

Nicole turned around in a huff, and called the police.

Maia cried anxiously after her. "If you call the police, I will tell them that it is you who framed me!"

Samuel grabbed her by the jaw and said coldly, "Do you believe that I can shut you up before the police get here?"

It was the first time Maia had seen Samuel's grim look, and she shuddered uncontrollably.

Nicole shook her head. "You threaten me? Maia, you're hopeless. I don't care what your reason is, and I don't want to know why you become like this. I only hope that we have nothing to do with each other from now on."

With that, Nicole and Samuel left.

Maia burst into tears and said, "Nicole, I know it's all my fault. I betrayed your trust. I let Tim down. Anyway, I have paid the price now. I beg you. If I die, please fulfill your promise to let my brother work for Eternal Group, so that he can be an honest man, OK?"

Nicole paused slightly.

Trevin was different from Maia, but she dared not to agree to her now.

Seeing Nicole hesitated, Maia continued, "Trevin doesn't know what I'm doing. He doesn't even know what I'm like now. I can trade my life for my brother's life. Please don't forget my fault and give him a chance, will you? As long as he can be in the Eternal Group, that man dare not do anything to my brother. Please."

Her hit her head on the ground, begging Nicole.

Nicole had made up her mind just now, but seeing her like this, she could not help but feel a little sad.

Just as Nicole was about to say something, Samuel suddenly hit her.
