Nicole looked at Cynthia and felt that it was useless to say anything else. This woman's mind was
twisted and she could no longer tell what was right and wrong.
Cynthia seemed to have vented all her anger on Nicole, as if it was it was Nicole's fault that her
daughter died.
Seeing that Nicole was silent, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Nicole's collar, saying fiercely,
"Since you came to this place, you won't be able to leave here alive. Since we have a way to use
Laurence to renew Adela's life, we will have a way to make you die here."
"If I die now, Laurel will make you pay for it."
Nicole said indifferently.
Cynthia couldn't help but tremble, which indicated that she was scared of Laurel.
Nicole sneered, "As a mother, you can't even protect your own child. What makes you think you can
yell at me so arrogantly? You're not even qualified to be a mother! If you couldn't give her a complete
life, why did you give birth to her in the first place? Since she has been born, why didn't you protect
her? Even though Laurel wanted her dead, so what? Even though she wanted to pursue her own
happiness and elope with Laurence, so what? If I were you, I wouldn't let my daughter die in my own
hands even if protecting her would cost my life. Do you know how desperate Adela was at the time? Do
you know how painful she was? She suffered all the pain because of you!"
She pushed Cynthia away.
Cynthia fell to the ground and cried as she looked at Adela's corpse on the bed.
However, Nicole could not sympathize with her.
A mother who could kill her own child was no human.
To Nicole, even if Cynthia committed suicide wouldn't make her deserve any forgiveness.
Laurel was standing outside the door. When she heard what Nicole had said, she couldn't help but clap
her hands.
"Good, very good! Since you're willing to risk your life for your own daughter, you will obediently marry
Allen, right? After all, marrying someone is much easier than dying."
Cynthia turned ghastly pale when she heard Laurel's voice.
She flinched and quickly shut up, standing humbly like a servant, not daring to make a sound.
Seeing her being so cowardly, Laurel said discontentedly, "You're Professor Miller's wife, but even an
outsider is better than you. What a humiliation for us! Go back to your room! If I see you here again, I
assure you that you won't even be able to keep Adela's corpse."
"No, Please! I'm leaving now! I promise I won't come here again!"
Cynthia was so scared that her face turned pale.
She looked at Adela's corpse and left without looking back.
Nicole didn't know how Laurel had managed to scare Cynthia so much, but at the moment, she really
hated this old lady's guts.
"I'll marry him, but I want to see Laurence."
"You're in no position to negotiate with me!"
Laurel said coldly, not giving Nicole any chance at all.
Nicole sneered, "Really? Are you sure? Do you really think others don't know what you've done? If you
don't let me see Laurence, I won't marry Allen. Even if I have to die here, I will make the world know
about the true face of you and the Millers."
"With you?"
"Yes, with me! I don't have much ability, but I have a loving husband and a smart son. Do you really
think I walked in here without precautions and you can do whatever you want with me? You seem to
have forgotten that Samuel and Lucas are both computer geniuses. Everything you've said since I
entered this house has been recorded by them. If I don't see Laurence, this video will be posted online
in a minute. By the time, all members of your family will be exposed. If you don't believe me, you can
try."
As Nicole spoke, she took out a necklace from under her collar. The pinhole camera on the necklace
made Laurel's face turn sullen.
"Damn it!"
Nicole knew that if she wanted to save Laurence, she had to sacrifice something.
Samuel made her wear this so that he would know her location at any time. However, after a night had
passed, Samuel still hadn't managed to get in. It could be seen how heavy the Miller's defense was.
Such being the case, how could she let Samuel take risks for her? She might as well rescue Laurence
first. She was risking her for Laurence to have a chance to survive, because she owed Laurence this.
Laurel looked like she wanted to swallow Nicole, but she knew that Samuel must have been prepared,
otherwise Nicole wouldn't dare to show her the camera.
She was too sloppy!
She didn't expect Nicole and Samuel to be so bold.
Laurel took a few deep breaths and then said fiercely, "Alright, I'll let you see Laurence. But do you
really think you can save him after you see him? You can't even save your own ass. Don't be
ridiculous."
"That's my problem. Why don't you let me worry about it? I just want to see Laurence."
Nicole said firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.
Although Laurel was reluctant, she had someone take Nicole to Laurence.
Nicole finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at the pinhole camera and smiled bitterly. She knew that Samuel must be worried, but now
she could only take one step at a time.
Laurel ordered someone to take Nicole's necklace, but Nicole took a step back and said, "I will give it to
you once I see Laurence. But don't try to snatch it now. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that Samuel won't
post the video. Do you think Samuel and I would have walked into your place without doing our
homework?"
"Nicole, you'd better pray that you're always so lucky!"
Laurel gritted her teeth and said, wishing to tear Nicole into pieces.
But Nicole smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will always be lucky. Just wait and see."
"Get lost!"
Laurel was so angry that her entire body trembled.
Nicole, on the other hand, smiled happily.
She followed the bodyguard out of the room.
When the sunlight shone on her, Nicole felt that she had come back to life.
It was too cold in the room. If she stayed there any longer, she was afraid that she might lose the baby
in her belly.
After taking a deep breath, Nicole followed the bodyguard to the rockery. Behind the rockery, there was
a secret door. If it weren't for the bodyguard leading her, Nicole wouldn't have noticed it.
She took out the necklace so that Samuel could see it clearly.
Samuel was worried after hearing Nicole's decision. He knew what Nicole was trying to do.
He narrowed his cold eyes and recorded everything in the camera. In the meantime, he was also
tapping on the notebook.
Nicole knew that once she entered the rockery, she might lose the signal. This was why Laurel would
let her keep the necklace.
After she entered the rockery, she would be all on her own.
Nicole held the necklace tightly in her hand, as if this was the only way to feel that Samuel was by her
side.
She wasn't scared, but a little lonely.
When the bodyguard saw Nicole stop, he said coldly, "You'd better hurry up. We don't want to make
things difficult for you, but don't make things difficult for us. There are cameras everywhere. Our job is
to watch you."
Nicole paused for a moment before walking into the rockery.
After entering the secret door, everything was blurry for a moment.
Nicole involuntarily closed her eyes to adapt to the light. Then, she noticed that someone was
approaching her.
She suddenly lifted her foot and kicked towards that person.
A muffled snort sounded, and something heavy fell to the ground.
"Who's there?"
"It's me!"
A muffled voice came.
Nicole could tell that it was the man who had tried to frighten her outside the door last night.
Perhaps Laurel had instructed him to snatch the necklace when she came in? Fortunately, Nicole was
already prepared.
"Don't ever think about stealing from me again, otherwise the video will be uploaded online
immediately."
The man fell silent. It was plain that Laurel had heard Nicole as well.
She heard Laurel snort coldly, and then everything returned to silence.
Her eyes finally adapted to the darkness.
Nicole raised her foot and walked forward.
"Where is Laurence? You'd better not try anything funny, otherwise..."
"Take her there."
After Laurel's voice rang out, there was no other sound. Nicole heard the sound of the electric device
being turned off.
It looked like Laurel was really furious.
The angrier Laurel was, the happier Nicole became.
She cursed her lips into a smile and followed behind the bodyguard.
After walking for a long time and taking countless turns, she finally saw an open space.
The open space had been hollowed out, forming a circular field. In the field, there were many medical
equipment and instruments.
Nicole keenly noticed that there was someone soaking in the glass tank in the center!
It was a person, wasn't it?
The water in the glass tank had already been turned red by the blood. The person was curled up inside
like a baby, his limbs inserted with tubes. He was unable to move at all.
His head was drooping, but Nicole knew the person in front of her was Laurence!
They actually treated Laurence like a lab rat, locked him up in a glass tank connected with electricity.
This was inhuman!
"How do you feel? Do you like what you've seen?"
Laurel's voice sounded again, arrogant and smug.
Nicole was so angry that her lungs almost exploded.
"Laurel! Let him go!"
"Let him go? Impossible! But since you want to see him, how about I make him wake up and say hello
to you?"
Laurel chuckled, and then someone suddenly pulled down the switch.
"No!"
Nicole wanted to stop this, but it was already too late.
A miserable scream came from inside the glass tank.
Laurence's handsome face instantly appeared in front of Nicole.
His face had been cut so many times that it was mutilated, covered in blood. Electric currents were
running around his body, and his blue blood veins were throbbing.
Nicole felt as if her heart was about to break.
If Adela were alive, what would she have felt when watching Laurence suffer all of this?
"Stop! Laurel, stop! If you don't stop, I'll have Samuel post the video!"
Nicole had no choice but to threaten Laurel, but at the moment, Laurel did not care at
all.
Laurel's voice sounded again, arrogant and smug.
Nicole was so angry that her lungs almost exploded.
“Laurel! Let him go!"
"Let him go? Impossible! But since you want to see him, how about | make him wake up and say hello
to you?"
Laurel chuckled, and then someone suddenly pulled down the switch.
"No!"
Nicole wanted to stop this, but it was already too late.

all.
