Nicole froze for a moment and glanced at the caller ID on her phone. It was actually Sally.
Nicole had mixed feelings before answering the phone.
She was on guard against Sally before. But Sally helped Nicole twice in a row. Nicole then felt that
Sally was not a bad person.
Nicole wanted to accept Sally for Edwin's and her mother's sake, but Nicole felt an extreme antipathy
against Sally after her trip to the Don's.
Regardless of what Sally had in mind, Nicole couldn't forgive Sally for using her second uncle against
her parents.
Nicole hung up directly and walked towards Samuel regardless of what Sally was thinking.
"Are you alright?"
Samuel looked round, saw Cynthia lying on the ground and sadfishing, and looked at Nicole with worry.
With soybean milk and fried bread sticks in his hand, Samuel seemed to have gone to buy breakfast.
Nicole took the breakfast in Samuel's hand and said with a smile, "Nothing. It's all settled."
"Go back to your room for breakfast."
Samuel didn't even look at Cynthia.
"Okay."
Nicole was in a good mood, took Samuel's arm and went back to the ward.
Cynthia was depressed when she saw that no one talked to her.
At this moment, Cynthia seemed to realize something.
No!
Cynthia was not going to jail!
Laurence wouldn't dare to put her in jail!
But this time, Cynthia was uncertain.
Cynthia recalled Laurence's determination in his cold eyes and was afraid at once.
Cynthia quickly took out her phone and called Neville.
"Neville, that bastard Laurence reported me to the police! Neville, you have to save me! You have to
save me!"
With that, Cynthia started crying.
Neville was puzzled.
Did Laurence report Cynthia to the police?
What did Cynthia mean?
What was going on?
Neville knew that Cynthia hit Laurence frequently. Cynthia didn't listen to Neville, always quarreled with
him, and even screwed up his experiment. So Neville was unable to continue his study.
In order to focus on his research, Neville just turned a blind eye to Cynthia who bullied Laurence.
Anyway, Neville knew Laurence's physical condition. It was not fatal for Laurence to be beaten and
abused by Cynthia.
As Neville thought this, he went to do the experiment at ease. Besides, Laurence always turned the
other cheek over the years, so Neville was more accustomed to it.
Now that Neville unexpectedly heard Cynthia say that Laurence reported her to the police, he was
confused.
Why did Laurence report Cynthia to the police?
What happened to them?
Neville said angrily, "What's wrong with you? Can't you let me have a quiet day?"
With that, Neville hung up.
How could Laurence dare to report Cynthia to the police?
What a nonsense!
Neville thought that it was Cynthia's small trick to draw him in to deal with Laurence together, so he
couldn't help but become angry.
Neville turned off his phone for fear that Cynthia would call again and bother him.
Cynthia could not believe that Neville actually ignored her at this point.
She dialed Neville again in disbelief, but a sweet female voice came and said that Neville turned off the
phone.
Cynthia was so angry that she threw her phone.
"Bastard! You don't even care about me, do you?"
However, no one answered her.
The police arrived very soon.
After the police got the picture, Nicole sent the video to them and Cynthia was taken away.
Cynthia cried and made a scene, but it was useless in front of the police.
Laurence was in the emergency room while Nicole and Samuel were having breakfast in the ward.
None of them took Cynthia seriously.
After breakfast, Nicole looked at Samuel and said, "Laurence is also injured. Cara doesn't recover. Just
let them share a ward."
"Okay."
Samuel did not object.
Nicole frowned when her phone rang again.
Samuel saw Nicole looked terrible. He took her phone and glanced at it. Seeing that it was Sally,
Samuel knew why Nicole did not answer her phone.
"No matter who Sally is and what she wants, you have to talk to her. Besides, Sally made a favorable
impression on Grandpa. If we don't come into contact with her, Grandpa will meet her. Do you think
Grandpa will be emotional?"
Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole sincerely wanted to kill Sally.
Yeah, Nicole had a grandfather.
Edwin felt very guilty. No matter what Sally did to Edwin, he probably wouldn't blame her.
Thinking of this, Nicole felt so bad.
Nicole hated this feeling and her position, but she still had to face it.
Nicole took the phone and answered.
"What do you need?"
Nicole said crossly.
Even though Nicole knew that she was irrational, she couldn't help it.
If it wasn't for Sally, Nicole's parents wouldn't have been separated from her for so many years.
And her mother wouldn't have been miserable all her life.
Sally obviously did not expect Nicole to be so angry. She froze and then asked, "Nicole, what's up with
you?"
"Say what you want or I'll hang up."
Nicole was impatient and disgusted when she heard Sally's voice.
Sally paused for a moment and said, "I just wonder if you have heard anything from Morgan."
Nicole paused for a moment and sneered, "Sally, Morgan is on your side. She was injured in Country F.
Even if you were betrayed, you still have useful contacts there, right? You can just make a phone call if
you want to know if Morgan is alright. Why do you get us involved? You use Morgan as an excuse to
lure us to Country F. What exactly do you want? Do you want me to help Zayn seize power or anything
else? You might as well be frank. Aren't you tired of hiding and scheming like this? "
Sally did not expect Nicole to be so straightforward. Nicole did not even call her Auntie Sally.
Nicole didn't take Sally as her relative.
Sally couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Nicole, I know that you may not believe me, but there is nothing I can do. My power was taken over in
one fell swoop. No one helps me."
"Then don't stir up trouble."
With that, Nicole hung up directly.
Was there no one at Sally's disposal?
How was that possible?
Did Sally really take Nicole as a child?
Sally was able to fake her death in Country F for more than twenty years without being discovered.
Besides, she successfully covertly brought Morgan here and hid her for so many years. But Sally now
told Nicole that no one was at her disposal.
Nicole sneered but felt anger and sorrow rising up inside herself.
Samuel held Nicole's hand and whispered, "Don't be angry. It's not worth getting pissed off for others. I
asked Ernesto to investigate Morgan's whereabouts. We'll save her as soon as we hear from her."
Nicole trembled slightly all over.
"This is too far! Morgan worked for Sally for so many years. But Morgan ended up like that for her sake.
Sally actually used Morgan as bait to lure us. Is Sally stupid or does she think I'm stupid?"
When Nicole thought Sally was her relative, who looked similar to her mother, Nicole could not calm
down.
Samuel was afraid that Nicole would cut off her nose to spite her face, so he could only hold her hand
and say, "If you're still angry, I will kiss you."
Nicole paused for a moment. Seeing that Samuel was serious and ready to kiss her, she couldn't help
but laugh.
"Can you stop it? I'm angry."
Nicole was helpless.
But Samuel smiled and said, "I know. Can't you see that I'm looking for every opportunity to get close to
you?"
"Samuel, when did you become so lustful?"
Nicole smiled and felt better.
However, Samuel smiled and said, "I'm always like that. We're married. I'm so eager to sleep with you."
"Stop it."
Nicole was amused by Samuel.
Seeing that Nicole felt better, Samuel could only use the simplest way to stop her from being angry.
Sally couldn't help but laugh bitterly when she heard the busy tone after Nicole hung up.
Was Sally disliked?
No!
Sally was hated and detested.
This feeling utterly upset Sally.
If even Nicole did not believe that Sally found no one to turn to now, would anyone else believe her?
He was really ruthless!
Sally was in his scheme from the beginning.
Sally thought that she could be out of his hands and that she was able to protect her family after
experiencing so much and establishing her own organizations and her dominion with Morgan.
However, more than twenty years later, Sally suddenly realized that all of this was her wishful thinking.
He gave Sally everything.
He helped Sally fake her death successfully and watched in the dark as Sally struggled in the dilemma.
He watched her establish her dominion step by step. As Sally thought she could be free from his
control, he attacked her.
He showed no mercy, acting ruthlessly and quickly like before, leaving Sally unprepared and caught off
guard.
Morgan escorted Sally away and whether Morgan would survive was uncertain.
Now Sally arrived at the Seapolis City alone, where she was born. It was her hometown, but she felt it
awfully strange.
Sally had no choice but to turn to Samuel and Nicole.
She thought that Nicole could be her safe haven, but she was still too naive.
What exactly was wrong?
Was it because Sally went to the Don's?
Was it because Sally said something about Nicole's second uncle?
But in Jason's or Nicole's eyes, shouldn't it be because Nicole's second uncle went to Country F?
Why would things be different from what Sally thought?
Why did Nicole seem to be annoyed with Sally?
Sally could not understand.
Right now, Sally only had one choice, and that was Edwin. However, Sally hesitated.
If Edwin also refused to help Sally and did not believe that she had no way to run, what should she do?
It was her last warmth.
That was the only person Sally was closest to.
Sally could no longer withstand any doubts and speculations, especially from Edwin.
What shall she do?
Sally was tough all her life, but at this moment, tears suddenly flowed down her face. She was
extremely sad.
Sally once thought that she was omnipotent, but she felt that she could do nothing now. Even being
alive would be a dream and burden.
