Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 823

"What's the matter with you? I have told you that Mrs. Green didn't want any visitors!"

Cara quickly shielded Nicole behind her. With Mrs. Brook in front of her, Cara looked like an old hen protecting her cubs. Nicole was somewhat moved seeing this.

Nicole hadn't seen Mrs. Brook for some time. Mrs. Brook's face was pale. It could be told that she was having a tough time these days.

Nicole pushed Cara to the side. She looked at the old lady in front of her and respectfully said, "Hello, Mrs. Brook."

"I thought that you must have forgotten me."

Mrs. Brook was not very friendly.

Nicole only smiled and didn't say anything. Seeing Nicole like this, Mrs. Brook was a little angry.

"Nicole, in the past five years, our family has treated you well, right?"

"Right."

Nicole's reply gave Mrs. Brook a glimmer of hope.

"You still have some conscience. Over the past five years, although the Brook family has not given you a good chance, we helped you raise your children and get rid of gossip, and even helped you become an excellent car designer. You should thank our family for what you have achieved. How could you allow Samuel to destroy us? Why are you so ruthless?"

The more Mrs. Brook spoke, the angrier she became. It seemed that to her, Nicole was unforgivable.

Nicole did not interrupt her. After Mrs. Brook finished speaking, she asked her in a low voice, "Mrs. Brook, do you know what Allen did to me?"

Mrs. Brook froze for a moment and blushed a little.

"Nicole, you know that Allen loves you. He loves you so much, and that's why..."

"That's why he wanted to kill me?"

Nicole asked calmly. However, her question left Mrs. Brook speechless.

"He was confused. You know what he thought of you for the past five years. Five years—five years have passed, but there was still nothing between you two. He just didn't want to give up."

"Mrs. Brook, your grandson could take someone's life just because he didn't want to give up, right?"

Nicole spoke coldly. Hearing this, Mrs. Brook felt even more embarrassed.

"How about this? We don't care whether Allen is dead or alive. We can do anything to make you and Samuel happy. I have been nice to you over the past five years, and I'm asking you a favor now. Can you beg Samuel to let the Brook family off the hook?"

Mrs. Brook made herself pretty clear. She had already decided to sacrifice Allen to save the Brook family.

Nicole didn't know how to feel about this. If it was in the past, she might have been soft-hearted. However, she had experienced death in the cold storage and had seen how frightened Samuel was because of her. Ever since then, Nicole had decided not to be so kind to anyone anymore.

"Mrs. Brook, I remember that Samuel had given the Brook family a chance. I also remember that when I left the United States, Samuel said that it was a reward for your family's care for me and the children. From then on, we were even. Since we are even now, why are you asking me to plead for Samuel's mercy again? Think of the thing that Allen did. We'll not show our gratitude and kindness again to those who are hurting us. If it were you, would you agree?"

Nicole's words left Mrs. Brook speechless, but she still wanted to struggle.

"Nicole, I know that Allen was wrong. Like I said, if killing him can save our family..."

"Before this happened, Allen was the symbol, and the pride of the Brook family. Since you've always been proud of him, you shouldn't give up on him now, right? You should share your happiness and woe. Aren't you afraid of breaking his heart? As for the Brook family, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."

After saying that, Nicole directly left.

Mrs. Brook changed her expression again and again. Just as Nicole walked into the elevator and was about to close the door, Mrs. Brook suddenly blocked it with one leg and threatened Nicole in a low voice, "If you don't let the Brook family off, I won't let you off. Do you hear me?"

"Are you threatening me?"

Nicole smiled and casually took out her phone. The scene just happened was now playing on her phone.

Mrs. Brook's expression instantly changed.

"You—why are you such a vicious woman?"

"I'm just trying to protect myself. Sneaky people like you are everywhere. Mrs. Brook, if you continue to harass me, I will publish this video. I don't know what the outcome will be at that time."

After Nicole finished speaking, she asked Cara to help Mrs. Brook out and shut down the elevator door.

Mrs. Brook was so angry that she trembled. She never imagined that Nicole would be so heartless—she used to think that Nicole was soft, timid, and kind.

"Nicole, I'll get back to you!"

Mrs. Brook shouted, but unfortunately, Nicole couldn't hear her anymore.

Cara learned something from Nicole and Mrs. Brook's words. After the elevator was closed, she looked at Nicole, but did not ask anything. Instead, she draped the thin blanket in hand over Nicole's body.

"Don't you want to ask me anything?"

Nicole said calmly.

Cara shook her head and said, "Although I am very curious, this is your business, Mrs. Green. It has nothing to do with me. My job is to take good care of you and keep away those people with bad intentions. Other things have nothing to do with me."

Nicole was very satisfied with Cara's answer.

She smiled and said in a low voice, "Do you like Laurence?"

Cara instantly froze. Then, her face turned red involuntarily.

"No."

"Don't hide it from me. I'm also a woman. I can see your gaze. When Laurence was with us, your eyes were simply shining. I can't mistake that," Nicole teased her.

Cara felt a little embarrassed.

"Mrs. Green, I..."

"Give him some time. Adela has just passed away, and she died so miserably. Laurence has known her from childhood. He won't be able to get pass it easily."

Nicole sighed and roughly told Cara about something.

Cara suddenly felt a little distressed for Laurence.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Green. I won't do anything stupid."
