When she recalled that Daphne had played those dirty tricks on Nicole Lane and the children on her orders, Lady Musgrave felt even more sorry for her.
“Daphne, don’t worry! I’ll make them pay for this!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned on her heels and walked out of Daphne’s residence.
When Nicole saw her four children return in high spirits, she knew immediately that they had completed their revenge plan successfully and taught that wicked woman a good lesson.
Just as she was about to praise them, she heard an urgent knock on the door.
“Who’s that?”
It was already so late. Who could that be?
Nicole opened the door to see John standing outside, his expression looking rather panicked.
After receiving the orders from Evan, John had been watching over the children silently as they carried out their revenge plan against Daphne.
When he heard that they were going to execute their plans tonight, he hid himself in a corner and observed. He left the scene a little later, and found out that Lady Musgrave was on her way to seek revenge.
“John! What is it?”
“Mrs. Seet, you’d better take the kids and hide somewhere immediately! Lady Musgrave is intent on seeking revenge for her niece, and she’s coming almost immediately!”
Lady Musgrave.
Nicole felt her heart sink. She didn’t think Lady Musgrave would’ve found out so quickly. These children must have been too careless and let something slip in their carelessness.
Trouble was coming their way.
Aside from Sir Musgrave, his wife was the most important person around in this estate. If she insisted on avenging Daphne, Nicole and her children were going to suffer greatly.
“Mommy, it was Daphne who bullied us first! All we did was take revenge. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Hearing Nina’s indignant argument, Nicole couldn’t help but sigh.
Lady Musgrave would never hear them out. She was Daphne’s aunt, and she was going to take her side for sure.
Nicole had met Lady Musgrave a few times before, and she knew that the older woman’s loyalties lay with her blood relatives rather than cold logic. Besides, she had always hated Nicole and the kids, and she wouldn’t pass up such a good opportunity to torture them.
“Mommy, we were the ones who did this. This has nothing to do with you! When the time comes, just hand us over to her…”
“Shut up!”
No mother would sell out her own children like this. She certainly wasn’t going to submit her children to Lady Musgrave’s cruelty.
