This brought Nicole back to her senses.
"That's right. How did you know that he became a vegetable?"
Nicole's eyes suddenly emitted a sharp light.
"Do you have anything to do with Jacob's car accident?"
She grabbed Melissa's hand, her heart fluctuating.
She had always known that Melissa was at Elvis' command. But she never pays much attention to
such a nobody as Melissa was just the daughter of the Bushes. She did not take it to heart. However, if
Melissa is involved in Jacob's car accident, she could not do nothing.
Seeing that Nicole and Olivia both suddenly became serious and aggressive, and Nicole grabbed her
by the wrist, Melissa immediately let out a scream.
"Mom and Dad, come quickly! Nicole wants to hit me!"
Hearing this, Mr. Bush immediately ran out, and Mrs. Bush followed in panic with one hand holding the
IV drip.
"Nicole, what are you doing? Let go of Melissa!"
Mrs. Bush cried in tears, and Mr. Bush's expression immediately sank.
This was another attack to Nicole's heart and she felt as if it was being torn apart again. But she
showed nothing on her face.
"She is involved in a traffic accident. I want to take her to the police station."
Nicole said without any emotions.
Melissa panicked.
"Mom, don't let her take me away. She wants to kill me! Mom, Dad, save me!"
Melissa shouted.
"Shut up! If you really are innocent, I will personally apologize to you." "No need."
Before Nicole could finish her words, Mr. Bush directly stepped forward and slapped off Nicole's hand,
causing the back of her hand to instantly turn red and swollen.
Mr. Bush pulled Melissa behind him in a protective manner. He even looked at Nicole angrily and said,
"We have already agreed to leave the Seapolis City. What else do you want? Do you want to kill
Melissa in front of me and your mom? Nicole, is this now how I have taught you all these years?"
A sense of bitterness pressed down on Nicole throat, making her unable to ignore.
Olivia was a little surprised at Mr. Bush's attitude. Seeing the swollen back of Nicole's hand, she quickly
pulled Nicole behind her and said coldly, "Mr. Bush, it's not our business that you want to protect your
biological daughter. But you also have to tell the wrong from the right. Nicole doesn't owe you anything.
What Melissa said isn't true. Right now, I don't care if she is your daughter or not. If I find out that
Melissa is involved in my fiancé's car accident, I will not let it go! It's best that Melissa is clean.
Otherwise, I definitely seek justice for my fiancé, and not even Nicole can change my mind."
"Who the hell are you! I heard from my mother that you're just an orphan. If it weren't for my parents
supporting you in your studies back then, you are just a low life scum begging for your life day after
day. You're as ungrateful as Nicole, and now are trying to threaten my parents. How dare you, Olivia?"
Melissa was still talking nonstop with Mr. Bush behind her.
Nicole looked at her parents and noticed their silence. It was as if what Melissa said was also what they
thought, which made Nicole heart-broken.
"Back then, I was the one who paid Olivia's college fee with my own personal bonus. It has nothing to
do with you, right?"
Nicole looked straight at Mrs. Bush and Mr. Bush.
Mr. Bush did not say anything. But Mrs. Bush whispered, "We raised you, so your money is naturally
ours. There's no need to say what's yours and what's ours."
"Haha!"
Nicole laughed angrily.
"So you are the one who supported Olivia through her university? I remember that I haven't been
asking for money from you since high school. My tuition and living expenses were all earned by me.
Are those also the money of the Bush family?"
"You're not married. Of course, your money belongs to the Bush family."
Nicole was really impressed by Mrs. Bush's logic.
She never knew that her mother, who had always been noble and elegant, would one day pester her
like a shrew for Melisa, the real daughter.
It was futile to say anything now. The Bushes would not admit that they were wrong. Since that was the
case, why would she continue arguing? The only one that got hurt was just herself.
Olivia also noticed the awkward relationship between Nicole and Mr. and Mrs. Bush. She sneered and
said, "Back then, Nicole gave me the money for my college education. If you think that it was the Bush
family's money, I can pay you back."
"Olivia!"
Nicole wanted to stop her.
Olivia needed the money more than the Bush family did.
Even if the Bush family did not have any money, at least the paintings and calligraphies collected by
Mr. Bush these few years were still worth some money. Moreover, she did not believe that Samuel
would not give them money if he chased them away. The family was just acting miserably in front of
her.
But if Olivia gave the money to the Bush Family, she would be in a dilemma.
Olivia knew Nicole's good intentions. She smiled at Nicole and then turned to the Bushes and said, "I
remember that the tuition fee for my three years of college is 100,000. Do you want it now or later?"
"Right now."
Melissa looked at the bank card in Olivia's hand, a trace of greed flashing through her eyes.
"No, this money is for... "
"Okay! Wait here, I'll go get the money for you now, but after you take the money, Nicole and I have
nothing to do with you anymore. Mr. Bush, as far as I know, Samuel gave you ten million to leave the
Seapolis City. It is enough for you to live a good life, and it can also be considered as buying off all of
your relationship with Nicole. Therefore, please don't try to use this relationship again to hurt and
threaten her in the future. After all, once you receive the money, your kindness is paid off."
Hearing Olivia's words, Nicole was stunned.
Samuel gave them ten million?
How would Olivia know?
She looked at Olivia and felt like she had missed something.
When Olivia said that in public, the Bushes felt quite shameful.
"Samuel forces us to leave the place where our ancestors lived. What's wrong with giving us some
money? Besides, the Green family has money."
"The Green family has money, but it's not for buying off your harassment. Dad, when did you become
so vulgar?"
Nicole simply couldn't believe that the person in front of her was her father, whom she had respected
for so many years.
Mr. Bush didn't dare to look into Nicole's eyes, and was stuttering in his speech.
Melissa sneered and said, "You are not in need of money and could, of course, say so. We are
different. Nicole, even if we accept the money, so what? Did you deny that my parents raised you?"
"Mom, do you think so too?"
Nicole looked at Mrs. Bush.
Mrs. Bush immediately turned her face away and didn't say anything. This was also a way to
acquiesce.
Nicole instantly found herself too ridiculous.
She laughed twice and said to the Bushes, "Mr. Bush, Mrs. Bush, since you both think so and have
taken the money from my husband, we are now strangers. I heard that you are selling a house through
an agent, right? I'm sorry, but I remember that house is mine. I left the Seapolis City five years ago. You
mortgaged my house to the bank because you were short of money. At that time, the bank held an
auction. Samuel bought the house and put my name on it. Am I right?"
As soon as Nicole said, Melissa immediately became anxious.
"Nonsense! Mom and Dad, this isn't true, is it?"
Melissa looked at the Bushes.
The Bushes immediately frowned.
"At that time, we were still your parents. Even if Samuel bought the house, you said that the house was
for us to live in when we were old. A promise is a promise."
Nicole sneered at Mrs. Bush's words.
"I said that it was for you to live after you retire, but you don't have the right to sell it. Now that you want
to sell my house, you even sell our relationship for 10 million. May I ask, why should I let you sell my
house?"
Mr. Bush and Mrs. Bush suddenly didn't know how to refute.
"Nicole, you are already so rich. Why do you fight for a house with us?"
Melissa's words made Nicole laugh out loud.
"My money is my money. What does it have to do with you?"
"You!"
Melissa was so angry that she wanted to make a move, but when she thought of Nicole's fighting skill,
she hesitated.
"Mom and Dad, look at her. Nicole is bullying me. Don't you say something to her?"
Olivia felt that this family was really a joke.
"You want money for Melissa and benefits from Nicole. But what you did is hurting her again and again.
Don't you have any dignity?"
Olivia's words were like a slap on the face of the Bushes.
Mr. Bush was embarrassed.
"Let's go!"
He pulled Melissa and Mrs. Bush, intending to leave.
But Melissa directly threw him away and stretched out her hand towards Olivia.
"Money! Give me the 100,000 you owe the Bush Family!"
Even at this point, Melissa still remembered to get the university fee from Olivia that Nicole paid.
If it was in the past, Olivia would never allow such a shame.
Nicole wanted to give them the money, but Olivia stopped her.
"You've helped me enough. I can handle this."
Olivia asked Nicole for the password and took out 100,000 from the ATM at the side and threw it to
Melissa.
"I'm done with you two. Please go to the house agency to cancel the trade of the house that belongs to
Nicole."
"This is not your business."
Melissa hugged the money and left angrily. However, when she passed by Nicole, she ruthlessly hit
Nicole with her shoulder and said coldly, "Let's wait and see."
"You can't leave. Before we make a thorough investigation of Jacob's accident, none of you can leave
the city."
Nicole's cold words caused the Bushes to immediately stop their steps.
"Nicole, isn't this enough? You really want to force me and your mother to die in front of you?"
Mr. Bush blushed out of anger as he looked at Nicole. It seemed that he was going to fight her to death
in the next moment.
