"Mom!"
Nicole crazily ran to the basement, and knocked over all the guards there.
Harley was a little surprised, but he still followed.
"Mom!"
Nicole fell down all of a sudden, but she got up immediately and continued running towards the
basement.
Elvis grabbed Nicole at the sight of all these.
"Let me go! Elvis! Let me go!"
Nicole waved her arms like mad.
Elvis got extremely angry.
"You'd better not provoke me now, Nicole. Your mother has ruined everything. She ruined Xander!"
Nicole suddenly understood something at the sound of this word.
"My dad was in the basement? Why didn't I see him the day before yesterday? He was so close to me.
Why didn't I find my dad? Why did my mom know? Why? Now that my dad was found, why didn't you
let me know, mom? Why didn't you bring him out? Why did you leave together like this? What should I
do now that you're gone? Mom!"
Nicole knelt on the ground.
The raging fire soared into the clouds, illuminating half the sky.
Nicole knew that Audrey was about to die. She knew that Audrey suffered great pain every day, but she
still couldn't believe that Audrey would leave her like this.
Not long ago, they were sleeping and chatting together. Why would they become eternally separated all
of a sudden?
Elvis was so angry that his entire body trembled.
"Damn it!"
Elvis remembered the notebook that Audrey still had with her and suddenly asked Nicole.
"Where's your mother's notebook?"
Nicole was overwhelmed by sadness. When she heard his question, she subconsciously said, "My
mother has always carried it with her. The thing you want has already been buried in the sea of fire with
my mother. Elvis, you've been planning for so long. Have you thought that there would be such a day?"
"Damn it!"
He slapped Nicole in the face.
Nicole staggered and fell to the ground.
Her heart hurt so bad.
Mother left just like that without leaving a single word behind. She left with her father. For her mother,
this might be the best outcome, but for her, this was truly unbearable.
Elvis did not care how Nicole felt now. He shouted angrily, "Extinguish the fire! Hurry up!"
However, no matter how hard Harley and the others tried, this flame continued soaring.
Samuel searched around for a long time but couldn't find Nicole. Suddenly, he received a phone call
from Lucas.
"Samuel, there is a fire on a small island. Could Mommy be there?"
"Give me the address."
Samuel looked at the address sent by Lucas and sent someone to fly the helicopter at once.
Seeing that the fire was out of control, Elvis hurriedly grabbed Nicole and said, "Hurry up and arrange
for the helicopter to evacuate. Where's Una? Take Una with you! Don't worry about the others for now."
At this moment, Harley suddenly said, "Lord Elvis, Lillian has run away again."
"This damned woman! Don't worry about her for now. Bring Una and Nicole with us."
He knew better than anyone how much damage the fire would bring.
Samuel was not foolish. He was sure that they would come to check on such a big fire.
Nicole seemed to have thought of this as well.
Perhaps Audrey set herself on fire intentionally to lure Samuel over.
Now that Audrey died in such a miserable way, Nicole would not let Elvis get what he wanted.
She suddenly broke free from Elvis' control and turned to run to the main hall.
Una was Elvis' soft spot. As long as she controlled Una, everything would go smoothly.
Driven by such thoughts, Nicole quickly ran to the main hall. However, she did not expect that the
gunshot would suddenly come from behind.
Elvis had a gun!
Nicole dodged the first shot, but she failed to dodge the second.
The intense pain almost caused her to faint, but she still rolled on the spot, found a cover, and quickly
headed towards the main hall.
Blood seeped into her trouser legs, making it difficult for her to move.
Nicole watched Una anxiously run out of the main hall.
"Elvis, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Protect Una!"
Elvis' face suddenly turned pale.
He intended to run towards Una, but Nicole suddenly jumped out and directly reached out to choke
Una.
"Don't come over! Elvis, if you take one more step forward, I will jump into the sea with Una. At that
time, neither of us would be able to survive. It's worth it for me to pull a scapegoat on the verge of
death!"
Nicole looked horrible now. The fresh blood made her somewhat faint, but she tried her best to endure
it.
Una was dumbfounded.
"Ms. Nicole, what are you doing? Isn't Elvis your second uncle? Why..."
"Una, you are really Helen of Troy. In the past, I was sympathetic to you, but now I hate my kindness.
Without you, my mom would not have died today and my father would have been buried two decades
ago. Without you, our family would not have turned upside down. I know you're innocent. I know you
don't know anything. Yet because of you, Elvis has done the cruelest thing in the world. You're the
cause of all the disasters. If possible, I really want to take you to jump down from here. If you're dead,
everyone would be free."
Nicole's words stabbed into Una's heart like a knife.
Did she really know nothing?
No!
She was just pretending that she didn't know anything.
She was just a woman, an ordinary person. She wanted to grow old with her beloved man and have
children with him, but she was in poor health.
Elvis had never told her what he had done outside, but Una did know something.
Una saw scientists come in and out to test her blood, and she knew that Elvis was working hard to
save her. However, she really had not expected it to be so sinful until Nicole and Audrey were brought
to the island.
This small island was a paradise for Una and Elvis. Una had doubted Lillian's disappearance for a long
time, but Elvis kept telling her that Lillian had left the island for marriage. Una didn't really believe it, but
she forced herself to. Perhaps this was the only way she could continue to love Elvis.
After hearing Nicole's words, Una knew that she could no longer deceive herself.
When Elvis saw Una teetering, his heart ached badly.
"Nicole, let Una go. Then I'll let you go. Please don't hurt her!"
"Don't hurt her? You want me to let her go after you've hurt my family members? You've treated Una
like a princess oblivious of the outside world. Does she know what you've done outside?"
Tears kept flowing down Nicole's cheeks.
In an instant, her parents were both buried in a sea of flames. She would never have the chance to see
them again.
She became an orphan!
A real orphan!
Nicole's heart ached so badly as if it was being torn apart.
Elvis seemed to recognize Nicole's madness. He said in a hurry, "Stop! Stop speaking!"
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Una won't love you after knowing what you've done? Elvis,
you always want to show the best things to Una, but are you really a good person? Tell Una now, am I
your niece? Am I?"
Una was trembling violently.
"Ms. Nicole, what do you mean? If you weren't his niece, who else could you be?"
"Una, don't listen to her nonsense. She's crazy. She's a mad dog. You can't listen to her!"
"Shut up!"
Una suddenly growled.
She looked at Elvis, the man she had loved all her life, and suddenly felt somewhat heartache.
"Let her speak. Elvis, what I want to know is the whole truth. I don't want to live in a fairy tale. I want to
know everything. Don't stop her."
Although Una was weak, her gaze was firm.
Elvis staggered for a moment and shook his head, "No. Don't listen to her, Una. We are doing well on
our own. There's no need for you to know those things."
"No need? If I really don't need to know, then Ms. Nicole won't call me Hellen of Troy. You know, what I
want most this life is to be with you, but I don't want it to be based on other people's pain."
When Nicole heard Una's words, she laughed all of a sudden.
"Don't want it to be based on other people's pain? Do you know that Elvis has not only caused pain, but
also broken up others' family and taken others' lives!"
"Nicole, believe it or not, I'll shoot you!"
Elvis picked up the gun and aimed it at Nicole's head directly.
Right now, Nicole was completely fearless.
She sneered and said, "Come on, kill me! You've even killed your biological son, then of course you
can kill your daughter-in-law as well."
Una trembled at the sound of this word.
"Your biological son? What? Elvis, you have a biological son?"
Una looked at Elvis with tearful eyes.
The fact that she had been deceived by her beloved man for such a long time made her unbearably
dizzy.
Elvis suffered from great heartache at the sight of Una.
"Una, don't listen to her nonsense. I've never had sex with any other women. Believe me!"
"Really? If you've never had sex with other women, then how did Petty come into the world? Do you
dare to tell Una how her best friend Lillian had been tortured by you all these years, and how you had
treated her as Una's test kit and mobile blood bank? Do you dare to tell her that Lillian had given birth
to a daughter for you, but you were afraid that Lillian would not listen to you, so you dropped her off at
the orphanage the day after her birth? Do you dare to tell her how you threatened Lillian and Petty in
order to control them? Do you dare?"
Every time Nicole said a word, Una's eyes widened. In the end, she knelt on the ground and looked at
Elvis in disbelief, as if she was looking at a stranger.
