Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

Chapter 237: She Is My Guest

Hearing that, Nicole immediately listened keenly.

“Auntie Audrey, so you do know Xander, right? Do you know anyone from the Dons?"

Audrey no longer said anything. She just put down her chopsticks and whispered, “Take your time. I go

upstairs.”

“Auntie Audrey ...”

Seeing her like this, Nicole felt that she might have been abrupt just now. But did she really have

anything to do with the Dons? Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

If Xander’s girlfriend and she were sisters, did she know what happened to the illegitimate son or

daughter of the Dons back then?

This haunted the old lady of the Dons. If Nicole could find out about it, it would be great. But the

premise was that Audrey was willing to say it herself.

However, seeing Audrey's current state, it was obvious that she didn't want to say anything.

Nicole felt that she shouldn't have asked so directly just now.

She looked at the food on the table which was almost untouched. It was her fault.

Nicole also had no appetite.

She put away the food and tidied up the kitchen.

Now that Audrey had locked herself up in her room alone, she had nothing to do. The main reason was

that she could not go out yet. It would be troublesome if someone found out her.

Not only did it implicate Audrey, it could also involve Samuel in it.

Nicole looked at the empty room and felt a little lonely.

No wonder Audrey's painting style always captured a trace of sadness. If a person stayed in such a

house for a long time, she would probably be lonely.

Nicole came to the coffee table and looked at her draft. Now, it seemed that this was the only thing she

could do.

She sat down again and began to draw.

Last time, the Brooks had already taken all the right of the car cooperation project with the Greens.

However, the Greens got nothing. Now that she was the matriarch of the Greens and Samuel's wife, it

was reasonable for her to draw a few design drawings the family.

Nicole put all her energy into the sketch.

Audrey came out.

She saw Nicole's serious expression, as if she had seen herself many years ago. She used to work so

hard and hoped to change her life with the pencil in her hand.

But she did not expect that she would succeed and lose her lover.

Audrey leaned against the stairs, her eyes blurring with tears.

Xander!

Twenty years had passed. She thought that she could stay calm when she heard this name again, but

she didn’t expect that her heart would still hurt so badly.

Back then, he had left so resolutely that he didn’t even have the chance to speak to her personally. He

had joined the army without hesitation, leaving her nowhere to find him.

It had been almost thirty years, and this man had been dead. But she still felt heartache because of his

name.

How come?

Audrey looked at Nicole's back and was lost in thought.

This girl was related to the Dons, and even has a good relationship with them. Should she keep her?

Not knowing what to do, Audrey left the villa with a sigh.

Nicole did not know that Audrey had left. Instead, she concentrated on drawing. Once she finished, she

realized that it was already noon.

She was a little hungry. She went to the kitchen to make some food and then went to find Audrey. Only

then did she know that Audrey was not at home.

She didn't even know when Audrey left.

Nicole felt that she might have hurt Audrey.

Why did she suddenly ask that question?

However, it was awful to keep it to herself.

Nicole left some food and then went back to revise her design.

The day passed quickly. Audrey had never returned, and Nicole had nowhere to look. She arranged

her sketches and sent them to the Design Section of the Eternal Group by a fax machine.

After receiving the sketches, the Design Section began to study them together with Samuel once he

confirmed. And then they put them into production, and applied for patents.

Nicole called Samuel and casually told him about Audrey. Samuel was a little surprised and told her not

to act rashly. This matter should be discussed when they returned home.

"It’s impossible for me to act recklessly now. Auntie Audrey has gone out and hasn't returned yet.”

Nicole was a little annoyed.

However, Samuel said worriedly, “She won't reveal your whereabouts, right?”

“No. Auntie Audrey bears me no grudge. She is very kind to me. When I see her, I think of my mother. I

wonder if she has returned yet.”

When Samuel heard what Nicole said, he whispered, "Yes, she has. Jason has called to tell me that

everyone has arrived in the Seapolis City. They are currently under Jason's protection.’

"Isn't Zama still in the Dons? If she meets your mother, will something happen?”

Nicole thought of this now.

Only then did Samuel say, "Zama escaped.”

“What?”

Jason said, "The day after we left, Zama fled. No one knows where she is now. The Greens is in a

mess. The directors of the company seem to be restless. I can't stay here for too long. I have to deal

with the matter as soon as possible before I return. Otherwise, the Greens will be in a chaos."

All the things happened at the same time, which made Samuel think that maybe it was Allen who was

behind it.

Nicole was anxious, but she couldn't do anything.

"Damn! If my identity is still available, I might be useful if I go back.”

“It’s fine. I'll take care of it. Don't worry.”

Samuel comforted Nicole.

After they said some honeyed words between lovers, Nicole hung up the phone.

She waited Audrey until midnight, but there was no sight of her. Instead, she was extremely sleepy and

fell asleep in a daze.

When she opened her eyes the next day, she was still on the sofa. She rushed to Audrey's room to

check. Audrey seemed to have not returned all night.

Could it be that Audrey left the villa to her and wouldn't come back?

Was it because she said something about the Dons?

Just because she mentioned Xander?

Or did Audrey really have anything to do with the Dons and Xander?

Nicole racked her brains, but she couldn't find a good explanation.

She had no choice but to sit on the sofa again and start thinking of a new vehicle model.

Now she didn't know what else she could do besides this.

With Laurel and her parents around, Zoe should be fine. It was not appropriate for her to call her now.

And she couldn't go out now, drawing was the only thing she could do.

Nicole felt like she was a caged bird, being tied up, unable to leave. She felt extremely wronged.

Most importantly, Samuel was deeply troubled right now, but she could do nothing to help.

Nicole stayed at Audrey's place for another two days, but Samuel still hadn’t settled his business. The

other party refused to deal with the matter in private and insisted on taking the Eternal Group to court.

If the case was accepted, it might take a year or so to handle it. And Samuel would not be able to leave

the United States during this time.

The Greens was in turmoil now. Not to mention a year or so, even if it was a month, the Greens would

probably be gone.

Thinking of this, Nicole got in a flap. But she couldn't reveal herself.

Allen was simply too hateful.

She had never hated a person so much at this moment, and this person had once been her benefactor.

Nicole found it hard to calm down, and the things she drew were unsatisfactory.

She was the only one in such a big villa. She was going crazy.

Nicole's mood lightened at once when she heard the engine of the car.

Was Auntie Audrey back?

She quickly packed up the drawings, got up and ran out. However, she was stunned at the sight of the

person getting out of the car.

"Why are you here?"

Viola looked at Nicole in surprise.

Nicole did not expect Viola to come.

Didn't Audrey say that very few people would come here?

Why did she just happen to meet Viola?

However, this was the home of Viola's mother. What could she say?

Nicole paused for a moment and said, "I met Auntie Audrey a few days ago, and we were very close to

each other. Auntie Audrey put me up for a few days.”

Viola was stunned again.

"You know my mother? Nicole, it can’t be that you stayed here without asking for permission, right?"

“If you don’t believe me, you can call Auntie Audrey.”

Nicole did not know Audrey's phone number, but Viola did, which was why Nicole said so.

“Do you really think I won't?"

Viola hurriedly took out her phone and called Audrey.

“Mom, there is a woman here. Did you let her live here?"

Viola's words made Nicole blush.

But what could she say now?

Audrey paused for a moment and said, "Well, yes, she is my guest. You can't be rude to her, can you?”

“But Mom, you never let outsiders stay here. Even I can't stay here. Why does she?"

The balance of Viola's mind was disturbed.

This time, it was Nicole's turn to be shocked. What couldn't Viola stay here?

Weren't they mother and daughter?

If they were, why would they live separately?

Nicole did not understand it, but Viola's hateful gaze shot straight at her.

“Mom, when are you coming back? I'm right at the door.”

There was a hint of coquetry in Viola's voice.

After hanging up the phone, Viola coldly said to Nicole, "I don’t know why my mother likes you. Listen!

Don't play any tricks in front of my mother. If you let her know about my attention of getting Samuel, I

won't spare! Understand?"

Nicole was a little guilty of Viola just now, but when she heard what she said, a burst of anger suddenly

arose.

“Viola, I already said that Samuel is my husband. There are so many good men in the world. Can't you

go find someone else?”

“No! Don't trick me. Husband? Now you are an unregistered citizen without any ID. How dare you say

that Samuel is your husband?"

Viola's words stunned Nicole.

How did she know about this?
