"So it was you! No wonder he survived! So you've been on guard against me since then?"
Martha's words irritated Audrey.
"How come you talk about it as if you've done nothing wrong? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"
"Ashamed? Why should I be ashamed of myself? He has never treated me like his daughter after he retired from the military service. Although he hasn't hurt me, I remember the way he looked at me. I've once hoped that he could give me a little bit of warmth, but he didn't even hug me once. He didn't even let me take his surname, Shaw. Do you know how cruel that meant to me then?"
Martha said angrily. It seemed that after so many years, she still couldn't let it go.
Audrey was so furious that she laughed.
"If you thought that way as a child, it would be understandable because you were still too young. But if you keep thinking that way until today, you will end up nowhere your whole life. I don't want to waste more time on you. To put it simply, you deserve such an ending. You will be punished by the law."
"You think you can stop me? If I mobilize my resources, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide me inside your home."
Martha was quite confident in the situation.
Audrey sneered, "Maybe you are powerful, but have you ever heard of the saying that the good shall prevail over the evil? How long do you think you can still get away with it? I've promised mom that as long as you don't do anything illegal, I won't hurt you. However, if you collude with your biological father to commit crimes, I won't just sit watching. Did you forget my job before?"
"You retired, didn't you?"
"Yes, I did. But I still have connections, consciences, and loyalty to my country! I am a member of the Shaw family. My father has served the country diligently, and I will not disappoint him. He called me and told me everything before you guys came here. Martha, you really have great patience. You've been hiding in the Seapolis City for so many years to protect your father, the terrorist, haven't you? You can sacrifice your marriage, your son, and even your life for him, but you know what? Your father didn't want to take you abroad with him. Laurel contacted not only you, but also your father the moment she was released. Right now, she is rushing to the airport, because your father told her so. But he didn't even leave you a message, did he? Your father has abandoned you and left you here. Your people outside won't get any more help from him. You can't get out now."
Martha's face immediately turned pale as she heard Audrey's words.
"Nonsense! That's impossible!"
"Nonsense? Do you really think that's nonsense? When you removed mom's breathing tube for your father, did you ever think that one day he would abandon you? No. To be exact, he has never taken you as his daughter. He was just using you as a scapegoat."
"Stop it! I don't believe you! I don't believe any word of you!"
Martha immediately got emotional.
She struggled hard. Just when Nicole thought that Martha could not get away with the rope, she suddenly untied the ropes and even rushed towards Nicole in no time.
"Nicole, be careful!"
Audrey's heart was in her mouth.
Although Nicole was surprised by Martha's agility and speed, she managed to counterattack and defend herself subconsciously. She quickly retreated after fighting hand to hand with Martha shortly.
This was simply too surprising and shocking to Nicole.
Martha, who looked sickly, was actually so agile.
Nicole had no time for anything else, because Martha was already running towards the window.
"Stop!"
Just as Nicole wanted to chase after Martha, Audrey stopped her.
"Let her go. She won't be able to escape."
"Mom ..."
Before Nicole could finish her sentence, she saw Martha jump out and then there was a huge sound. It startled Nicole, so she hurried to the window to have a look. She then saw that Samuel had already put Martha down with his men.
Behind Samuel stood dozens of soldiers.
Tears instantly welled up in Nicole's eyes.
"Samuel!"
"Are you all right?"
Samuel looked at her from outside the window with concern.
Nicole hurried to shake her head.
Martha was still struggling, "Let go of me! You guys let go of me! Do you know who my father is? He's ..."
"Mom ..."
Before Martha could finish her words, Tim showed up.
Martha was stunned when she saw Tim.
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in Nord?"
"To deliver you messages in Nord?"
Nicole had already got out of the room, and Samuel took her into his embrace. She couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Tim when she saw him in shock.
"Tim ..."
"Leave him alone. He'll be fine."
Samuel stopped Nicole.
Tim had his pride. How could he bear being seen in a difficult position by others now?
He thought that he was helping the country hunt down terrorists, but didn't expect that the target was his mother. Tim simply found it too ridiculous and ironic.
"Tim, if you still want me to see you as my son, take me away with you. These people will definitely listen to you, right? Tell them to let me go! I'll take you abroad to your grandfather. He is very powerful abroad. With your skills, you will soon gain his recognition as long as you listen to him."
Martha was like a drowning person clutching at a straw.
Tim looked at his mother, whom he had been cared about for more than ten years. Now he found her like a stranger... A complete stranger.
As he looked at Martha, the light of hope in his eyes gradually dimmed.
"Tim! Tim!"
Martha shouted at Tim, but he closed his eyes. He then waved his hand and let others take Martha away.
Tim looked at Nicole and Samuel. He moved his lips and finally said with a bitter smile, "I guess it's too late even if I say sorry now."
"Tim, don't say that. You're a victim. You ..."
Nicole was kind in nature and felt sorry for him.
Tim smiled bitterly and said, "You're trying to make me feel better. I know. Leave things here to the military. I'll go back home and see if she has left anything there. Good bye."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, looking extremely lonely and sad.
Samuel held Nicole's hand tightly and said in a low voice, "Do you know that you freaked me out?"
"I'm sorry. I just want to see my mother!"
Nicole suddenly remembered Audrey. She immediately turned her head over, only to find that Audrey had disappeared from the place she was sitting.
