"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.
