Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 810

"Samuel, Nicole, you're just leaving like that? You don't care about your friend?"

Samuel stopped when he heard Laurel's words.

Nicole knew that Laurel had a big impact on Samuel now. Although Samuel looked cold and heartless, he had liked Laurel like she was his real mother. Unfortunately, Laurel let him down.

Nicole gripped Samuel's wrist. She was worried that Samuel would fall for it.

Samuel did get a little soft-hearted, but he remembered what Laurel had done. So, he turned calm again. And Nicole's soft hand reminded him of what he should cherish more.

Samuel smiled at Nicole and slowly turned around.

Nicole was worried that Samuel would be set up, so she also turned around. Then she saw Finn was placed there, as if his bones were broken.

Blood trickled down his forehead.

Nicole suddenly felt bad for him.

Although Finn had betrayed her, he ended up like this because of her and Samuel.

Nicole wanted to save Finn, but Samuel grabbed her hands tightly and stopped her.

"Laurel, what do you mean? Isn't it ridiculous to threaten us with your man?"

Samuel didn't even call her mom anymore. When he said that he wanted to disband the Night Elf Empire, he had stopped seeing Laurel as his mother.

Laurel walked out of the darkness.

She was surrounded by a lot of bodyguards, looking intimidating. But Nicole knew that she was scared.

Laurel was scared that Samuel would kill her.

"Laurel, come out and face us alone. I dare you."

Nicole looked at Laurel and tried to irritate her.

Laurel was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she didn't fall for it.

"Nicole, enough with your smart mouth. That can't save Finn."

"Why should I save him? He's your man."

Nicole knew what Samuel was going to do when he pulled her back. So, she smiled brightly as if she wasn't affected at all.

Laurel was stunned. Perhaps she hadn't expected Nicole to become like this.

In her memory, Nicole was kind. She was physically weak, yet mentally strong. She was very righteous. How could Nicole not care about Finn now?

"Nicole, if it weren't for Finn, you wouldn't have been able to take Laurence away, let alone meet Samuel."

"So?"

Nicole looked at Laurel with amusement.

Laurel got depressed.

Why didn't Nicole fall for her trap?

"So? Finn is your friend. He becomes like this for you. And you don't care about him?"

Nicole smiled. She looked at Laurel and turned to look at Finn before saying coldly, "Don't you know it? Once a cheater, always a cheater. Perhaps before what happened at the Dungeon, I would treat him as my friend, and I would even risk my life to save him. But ever since he took your side, he has betrayed me. He's not my friend anymore. Even if he has helped me not long ago, that couldn't change anything. He's your man. I have no interest in what you want to do to him. I won't stop you. Just do it."

After saying that, Nicole pulled Samuel's hand and turned to leave.

Finn's heart ached as if a knife pierced it.

He used to be so close to Nicole's heart, so close that if he stretched out his hand, he could catch Nicole. But he gave up.

A wrong choice made him live in regret all his life.

Looking at Nicole's back, Finn could remember how she smiled at him like a flower.

She used to look at him so gently. She had trusted him with her life. But he did not cherish it.

There was no coming back from his choice. However, if possible, he would pay everything to get a second chance to stand with Nicole. He would not hesitate to do so even if the price was to betray Laurel, who brought him up.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Finn's eyes flashed with infatuation and regret.

Seeing Nicole turn around without any hesitation, Laurel got furious and turned to hit Finn with her cane.

"You loser! You almost give up your life for her. Look at how she treats you. Now do you think it is the right choice to betray me for her?"

Laurel's voice was very loud, as if she was speaking to Nicole and trying to stimulate her.

He was just a piece of trash!

Laurel couldn't have a child, so she used Samuel to control the Greens. But now, he was threatening her over and over again for a woman. Laurel was literally vexed.

Samuel looked at Laurel. He used to think that she was graceful and noble, but now he felt that she was cold and heartless.

"Mother? My mother has died!"

Samuel's words annoyed Laurel.

She threw her cane to him and cursed angrily, "You son of a bitch! Zama taught you to talk to your mother like this? Your mother was only a mistress. No, she could not even be a mistress! I am your father's lawfully wedded wife. Without me, you and Vincent could only be illegitimate children. How is it possible for you to live the life of a master? I gave you everything. But you fight against me for a woman like Nicole. Samuel, you're so ungrateful!"

"Ungrateful? I used to respect you, but you didn't want it. If you were nice to Nicole and our children, you might be the happiest woman in the world now. But you're never satisfied. Do you think you can still control me? The Millers might take that as a law, but the world does not resolve around your family. What's the bullshit about wife and mistress? To me and Vincent, our mother is the person who treats us the best. We used to respect you, but what did you do?"

Samuel clenched his hands and got emotional.

"I didn't say anything when Nicole was here. I know you want to control us with Finn. In your eyes, we're stupid because we value our senses. So, you think you can plot against us or control us?"

Laurel's face darkened.

"So what? Everyone is like this."

"Alright, I don't care if you want to spread your family's influence. I just want to know one thing. Are you a part in Vincent's death?"

Samuel stared straight at Laurel.

Laurel's expression changed.

"I don't know what you're talking about. We have agreed that Mark and Kemp killed him."

"Really? Then why did you have his jade pendant?"

Samuel took out Vincent's jade pendant, and Laurel frowned.

"What are you talking about? How did you get this pendant?"

"You can drop the act. Although you used a voice changer, you might not know that you have a habit of pausing after saying the first two words, just like a leader. You got into the habit since you were a child in the Miller's. Because you were very outstanding and wanted to become the master of your family, you paid much attention to your behaviors and tone. Over time, you have developed the habit. So, despite the voice changer, I can tell your emphasis in your words. You had someone sell the jade pendant to Lucas. Then I found Zedd, and he called you. However, he didn't know the truth until he died. It was you, the matriarch of the Millers, who made him a scapegoat. You lured me here with Vincent's pendant, because you were afraid that Laurence was not important enough and I wouldn't let Nicole come to save him?"

Samuel worked through what had happened.

Laurel was stunned for a moment before laughing. She seemed a little sad and gratified. Perhaps even she herself did not know how she was really feeling.
