Nicole wanted to say that she was not afraid of her. But thinking of her baby and Laurel's viciousness
and cruelty, she hurriedly said, "I'll kneel."
After that, she slowly knelt down.
A wise man knew when to retreat. Although Nicole had Samuel's help, she still had to rely on herself
when she came inside.
Thinking of this, Nicole knelt down unwillingly to Laurel.
Seeing Nicole admit being defeated, Laurel smiled more triumphantly.
"You should have done it earlier. I advise you to listen to me so as not to suffer from the pain of your
flesh."
"Well, you want me to pretend to be Adela and marry Allen, right? I really want to ask why. Adela is one
of your family. To ask her to marry Allen is beyond reproach. But have you forgotten I am your
daughter-in-law, and your grandson's mother? Don't you think it's against ethics if you ask me to marry
Allen? "
Hearing it, Laurel laughed loudly.
"Ethics? Are you my daughter-in-law? I don't have any children. Zama gave birth to children for the
Green family, and I had thought I could handle these two children. If not, do you think I would be willing
to allow such a housekeeper to do it and let the servant's children be my sons? Are they worthy of it?"
Nicole narrowed her eyes slightly at her words.
"Don't you like Vincent a lot?"
"That's because Vincent listened to me! If Samuel were as obedient as Vincent, I might treat him well
now. Unfortunately, for an outsider like you, he threw me into the cemetery of the Green family and left
me alone! Samuel was disrespectful to me, so I might as well kill him!"
"Isn't that because you are cruel and tyrannical?"
Nicole felt that Laurel's outlook on life and values as well as her worldview were wrong.
Laurel, instead, said nonchalantly, "It's none of your business. Think about yourself. I hear that during
your five years in the Brook family, Mrs. Brook didn't like you. Although you will marry into that family as
a Miller, I think Mrs. Brook can tell it. I need to tell you if Mrs. Brook knows that you are fake, I will ruin
the Green family."
"Aren't you too confident? Do you think you can destroy the Green family by yourself?"
Nicole felt that this was simply a fantasy.
Laurel sneered, "You may not know how powerful my family is. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I
married Samuel's father back then because of my family's decision. It was also my family's intention to
let Samuel join the army. The Miller family may be unknown to you. But as long as I want, the entire
world will change because of the Miller family. Do you believe me? "
In the past, Nicole would not believe it. She would think that Laurel was scaring her. But now that
Nicole knew the history of the Miller family, she did not dare to underestimate it.
Especially, Laurel was in charge of the Miller family now. Thus, Nicole felt even more uneasy.
Seeing that Nicole did not refute, Laurel felt a sense of superiority.
"I don't think you deserve to be the daughter-in-law of the Green family. Meanwhile, I disdain to marry
into the Green family. If it weren't for my parents' intentions, I would not marry into such a shabby
family. Do you think I really like Samuel's father? If it weren't for the fact that the Green family
possesses the Night Elf Empire, I wouldn't have wronged myself like that. I've been pretending all my
life. Unfortunately, I gave it away in the end. So, I had to end his life with my own hands. Outsiders
believe that we are a loving couple. No one will suspect me."
Laurel's words immediately shocked Nicole.
"You killed Samuel's father?"
"So what if you know? Do you feel like you can leave here? Or do you feel like you can escape from
my control?"
Laurel had a look of disdain on her face.
"None of you are my opponents in the Green family. So what can you do to me? I know that Samuel
has planted some spies in the Miller family, but so what? I'm not afraid that he will be able to take you
out of my hands if I allow him to do so."
Nicole's heart sank slightly.
She didn't know that Samuel had planted spies here, but Laurel did.
Seeing Nicole's somewhat frightened expression, Laurel became even more complacent.
"Let her see what will happen to those people who have betrayed me."
With Laurel's order, several people were dragged in. When they were in front of Nicole, their bodies
were covered in blood and bruises. Some of them even had their hands and feet broken.
Nicole saw these people look at her with pleading eyes.
It was a kind of gaze showing that they had no intention to live on and wanted to free themselves.
If Nicole had a knife in her hand now, she wished she could kill them and free them completely.
Sometimes, to live was no better than to die.
Nicole felt so upset.
If it weren't for her, they wouldn't have been asked to come here by Samuel. Perhaps there would be
other possibilities in their lives. It would definitely be different from the present one.
Laurel delighted in taking people under control. Especially when Laurel saw Nicole and those people's
gazes, she liked this feeling of superiority even more.
"See? Samuel is not my match! He learns all tricks from me. I can kill him easily. If you want Samuel to
be safe, you'd better listen to me. I know that you are careful and have sent your children to the military
region. But as long as I want, even if they are not in Mark's camp but another one, I can bring them out
unless they don't have field training."
Nicole was thrown into a panic.
If Laurel could even do this, it would be too terrifying!
Nicole couldn't imagine how terrible Laurel could be.
Seeing that Nicole was frightened, Laurel continued coldly, "If you marry replace Adela to marry Allen
obediently, I can give them a chance of survival. Otherwise, your family will be ruined and you won't be
able to leave anything behind. Think about it carefully. Allen likes you, and you won't lose anything if
you marry him, right?"
Nicole completely shut up.
She was truly scared.
Previously, she was confident that she could take Laurence out of here. But now, she seemed to have
fallen into a trap.
But even if Nicole didn't come, with Laurel's ability, she should be able to force Nicole to show up.
"Where's Laurence? I want to see Laurence. This is my only request."
"You don't get to negotiate with me."
Laurel sneered, and she did not intend to answer Nicole's wish.
Nicole's heart continued to sink.
"Laurence is my benefactor. He treated me very well. I just want to see if he's okay. Are you not going
to grant such a request?"
"Oh, Laurence is your benefactor. Do I have anything to do with it? Besides, Laurence is just a servile
servant of our Miller family. Back then, when his parents sold themselves to my family, we gave them a
large sum of money so that they were qualified to be medicine men of my family. Right now, even a
drop of blood on Laurence's body belongs to the Miller family. He actually dares to give you fresh blood
to save you without our permission. I have been merciful that I don't get it back. How dare you want to
see him?"
After Laurel finished speaking coldly, she had someone control Nicole.
"Take her to Adela's room."
Hearing Laurel's words, Cynthia was immediately anxious.
"Ma'am, don't do it. Adela is still in the room!"
"Let them bond with each other."
Hearing it, Nicole understood that Adela's corpse was currently in the room.
Adela had been dead for so long. Laurel didn't bury her. She even kept Adela's body in the room.
Weren't they afraid that Adela's body would rot?
Nicole felt that Laurel was simply a psychopath.
Cynthia cried, intending to say something, but she was stopped by Neville.
Cynthia, who had always been obedient, was really pissed off.
"What are you pulling me for? Your daughter died, and she's still being disturbed. You are her father.
Why do you stop me?"
Neville immediately turned angry.
"Shut up!"
"Shut up? Why should I shut up? My daughter is dead and there isn't even a decent funeral. Why
should I shut up?"
Cynthia was completely hysterical.
Laurel coughed and asked coldly, "What do you mean? Are you questioning my decision? And your
daughter doesn't die. Isn't she standing right next to you?"
"She's not. She's...."
"Shut up!"
Neville immediately slapped Cynthia on the face, causing her to fall to the ground.
"What are you doing here? Are you crazy? Go back to your room!"
Neville's face flushed red, perhaps because he was angry or something else.
Laurel snorted coldly and said, "Neville, if you cannot teach your wife, I can ask someone to help you."
"Ma'am, I can take care of it!"
As he spoke, Neville personally dragged Cynthia back to her room.
Cynthia was crying, but she didn't dare to let out loud voices. Watching them live such a miserable life,
Nicole was depressed.
Should Nicole allow Laurel to control her life?
Seeing that Nicole was lost in thought, Laurel was afraid that something would happen. She hurriedly
said to the people beside Nicole, "What are you still waiting for? Quickly bring her to her room!"
Those subordinates didn't dare to go against Laurel, so they dragged Nicole up.
Nicole did not dare to struggle, afraid that she would hurt the baby. She had to protect herself first.
She believed that Samuel would be able to save her.
They dragged Nicole to the door of Adela's room, but none of them dared to enter.
"Ms. Miller, please go in by yourself. Don't make things difficult for us."
Although they said this, they were clearly very afraid of this room.
Nicole felt that it was a little strange.
Wasn't this Adela's room?
Didn't Adela die?
Was there a ghost?
