When Nicole looked up, she saw Evelyn was standing there like a statue.
After saying a few words to Samuel, Nicole made her way Evelyn's side.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you wanted to go to the bathroom? Why are you standing here?"
Hearing this, Evelyn calmed down, but her expression ugly.
"I saw Tim."
Evelyn thought she needn't hide it from Nicole, and she also hoped that Nicole could help her.
In Evelyn's mind, she was a bit aggressive and she was the one who made the first move and chased
after Tim, but there were still some things that she couldn't get over.
Nicole also frowned.
What was Tim doing here?
She remembered that Martha had made a phone call to Tim.
Did he come here to see Martha?
A cold look passed over Nicole's face.
If Tim couldn't distinguish right from wrong, she would kick his ass.
"Wait a moment."
Nicole walked back to Samuel and whispered, "Can we move to the private room next to Room 202?"
Although Samuel did not know what happened, considering Nicole's words and Evelyn's bad mood, he
thought for a moment and said, "I'll give it a try."
"Alright."
Nicole knew that Samuel was powerful enough to change the private room.
As she expected, within a few minutes, Samuel said it was done.
Therefore, they went to the private room next door.
As soon as they sat down, they heard Tim's cold voice.
"Is there anything you have to say in person?"
"Tim, I heard that you had an accident. How was it? Are you feeling better?"
Hearing Martha's voice, both Nicole and Samuel got shocked and trembled.
It was really Martha!
Samuel's expression darkened.
Nicole gestured for him to calm down.
Evelyn clenched her hands and looked very nervous.
Tim always had Martha in his heart, so when he was devastated and traveled abroad, he might well
want to encounter Martha.
However, he didn't meet her, so he returned.
Now Martha called him and met him here, but Tim had never mentioned it to Evelyn.
Although Evelyn knew they didn't get married for love, she was still very upset.
Tim answered in a sarcastic tone,
"As you can see, I'm fine. But it's none of your business."
Hearing this, Martha was stunned.
In her memory, Tim had never spoken to her like this before. He only talked to Ballard in such a tone.
What's wrong with him today?
Martha frowned slightly and said, "Tim, why are you that cold?"
"What should I do? You have used me as your spawn since you got pregnant, so I can't speak to you
as gently as before. It's too hypocritical."
Tim sneered.
Martha's face darkened.
"Because of Nicole, you actually treat me like this. It's all your father's fault. He doesn't teach you well."
"I think your memory is wrong. Ballard has never taught me anything. I thought you were the only one
who really cared about me, but you gave me a fatal blow. It's meaningless to say this now. Why did you
call me here? Get to the pitch."
Tim's voice sounded so calm that Martha could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
She had intended to teach Tim a lesson, but after hearing Tim's words, she had to get to the point.
Thinking for a while, she said, "I heard you're going to get married to Evelyn Mason. Her family has
been leading in the maritime navigation industry, right?"
Tim narrowed her eyes and sneered.
"What? Are you trying to get something from the Masons? Or do you want something from the Masons
at the cost of your son?"
"How dare you say so?"
Martha threw the teacup with a bang.
She usually did this when she pretended to be insane in the past, because of which Tim felt she was
very pitiful. Therefore, he thought it was nothing serious if she did not hurt herself. But now, he thought
it was ironic to see this again.
"It seems I am telling the truth. You took advantage of me in the past, and you want to benefit from my
wife now. Don't you feel shameful to take all of this for granted? You are my mother, so you can take
advantage of me. However, Evelyn is not your daughter, so you have no right and no qualifications to
salivate at her!"
Tim's words almost irritated Martha, but Evelyn was about to cry when she heard this.
'He is actually defending me!'
Nicole and Samuel also heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Tim was intelligent and knew to protect his wife. Otherwise, Nicole would put him in a
coma later.
Martha's chest heaved with anger, almost passed out.
She glared at Tim and found he was totally different from before.
"You told me you love Nicola before. Why do you care so much about Evelyn now?"
"It's none of your business. Besides, why are you sure I don't like Evelyn? I decide to marry her
because I love her. I'm not someone who will accept a mercenary marriage. I'm different from you. If I
don't love a girl, I won't get married to her!"
Tim's words shocked Evelyn.
What did she hear?
Nicole was also somewhat gratified.
It sounded Tim also loved Evelyn.
That was great!
However, Martha was very angry.
"You shouldn't change your mind."
"Nicole doesn't love me and I can't wait for her to like me for the rest of my life. Moreover, blood is
thicker than water. Ever since I planned to date Maia, I've managed to treat Nicola as only my cousin.
So, don't hurt her."
What Tim said was straightforward.
Therefore, Martha laughed angrily.
"I gave birth to you, but you scold me in defense of the others. I don't care what you think of me. But if
Evelyn wants to be my daughter-in-law, she must do me a favor. Otherwise, I won't agree on your
marriage."
"It seems you are not the hostess of the Louis family."
Tim's words were harsh.
Thus, Martha's face darkened.
However, Tim said indifferently, "You'd better leave as soon as possible. Before I came, I called the
police, and they will arrive soon. As a fugitive, you are still wanted. If you don't want to be caught, go
now! I don't care what you're planning. Don't try to take advantage of my marriage or my wife. As your
son, that's all I'm able to say. What you should do in the future is up to you."
"What did you say? You ingrate!"
Martha was so angry that she even wanted to shoot Tim to death, but the next minute she heard the
siren.
Tim did call the police.
Thinking of this, she didn't hesitate. She instantly stood up and quickly jumped out of the window on the
second floor.
Seeing this, Tim gave a bitter smile.
Evelyn wanted to rush to hug Tim now, but she was stopped by Nicole.
"If he sees you, he will know you've heard everything. It's untenable to say it is just a coincidence.
Besides, he is mentally hurt now, so he won't want you to see this."
Nicole understood Tim.
Tim was almost desperate. He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.
He didn't know what to do with Martha. He did not want to send Martha into prison, but Nicole and
Evelyn wouldn't be safe when Martha was free, especially now that Martha wanted to take advantage
of Evelyn. Therefore, Tim was very upset.
'Why is Martha so selfish?'
'Why is she never considerate of me?'
'I really don't know what to do next.'
Evelyn was still worried. Tim was too pitiful, so she wanted to rush to the next door and comfort him
now, but she couldn't.
Nicole was right. Martha was a trauma for Tim. Now that she didn't pretended to be a good mother
before him, he would be very upset. And he wouldn't want Evelyn to see this.
After hearing the whole thing, neither Evelyn nor Nicole was in the mood to eat.
Nicole whispered, "Samuel and I should go. What about you?"
"I'll sit here for a while."
Evelyn didn't want to leave.
Tim was still here, and she was worried about him.
Nicole nodded, knowing what Evelyn was thinking. Therefore, she held Samuel's hand and left without
saying anything.
There were many police cars outside and the police were looking for someone. It seemed what Tim
said was right. It was he who called the police.
Nicole knew it was not easy for Tim to take this step. After all, Martha was his mother, and she was
important to him.
Thinking of this, she sighed.
Samuel whispered, "Tim can always tell the differences between right and wrong. He never called the
police to catch Martha when he was single. But now, he is about to get married, so he must protect
Evelyn. Moreover, according to what Martha said just now, she wants to take advantage of the Masons.
This is not good."
"The Masons have been in the maritime navigation industry for the past few years. Will Martha wants to
do something about this?"
Nicole frowned.
'It'll soon be the New Year. Can Martha give it a rest?'
'Is she going to cause trouble for them even during the New Year?'
Thinking of this, Nicola felt very angry.
"Martha escaped last time and she actually has the guts to come back. It seems she isn't afraid of
being caught by the police."
"Since she dares to come back, she must have prepared for this. Martha may not be alone. Pay
attention these few days, and don't run around if there's nothing serious."
Samuel was a little worried.
However, Nicole smiled and said, "I'm not going anywhere. I want to visit my grandfather and have a
good chat with Viola. I wonder how she is like after being trained by my grandfather these days."
Thinking of Viola, Samuel also laughed.
It was wise of Nicola to have Edwin punish Viola. It was interesting.
"By the way, Mike..."
"He's fine. I've made a phone call to him. After learning what Viola did, he has given up on her and he
has returned home. As for Viola's fate, he doesn't want to know anymore. His family arranged a
marriage for him, and he was very resistant to it at first, but now he said that he would go on a blind
date. And if that girl was good, he would try to date her and get married to her."
Hearing this, Nicole finally felt relieved.
