Chapter 276: That's Your Choice
Macon was a bit stunned. “! know what to do. Thank you.”
Nicole said nothing more.
Nicole never expected the thing would become what it had been now, but under this circumstance, she
could only handle what was coming to her.
When she heard Nicole had been here, Zama came out immediately.
Nicole had long not seen Zama in a while, and Zama seemed to have aged a lot.
“Zama, we haven't met for a long time,’ Nicole said with a smile. “You seem to be having a rough time.
You've got crow’s feet
around your eyes.”
“Shut up!”
Zama was angry at Nicole's happy look.
How could this woman, who five years ago was so submissive and obedient, become so annoyed five
years later?
She not only changed her look, but also changed her character.
“Macon, I'm glad you brought her here.”
Zama smiled at Macon, trying to maintain her grace, but failed. When she saw Nicole, all of her grace
was gone.
Macon said to Zama, “I brought you the person you wanted. Where is my wife and child?”
Zama paused and then continued, “You don’t think your wife and child are here, do you? We have been
working together for so many years. Why don't you believe me? Stop Samuel if he wants to come here,
and I'll release your wife and child.”
“You said that you only wanted Nicole, and you didn’t ask me to confront Samuel. Zama, keep your
words. Besides, don't you
know how powerful Samuel is? You ask me to go against Samuel? It is just like throwing straws against
the wind.” Macon said angrily.
Zama was really mean and unreliable.
Zama laughed and said, “Macon, do you have any other options? Samuel already knew you betrayed
him. Do you think he'll ever forgive you? You could only stand with me now. Think about it. You might
see your wife and child if you work with me, but if you rebel against me, I cannot assure you that they
will be safe.”
Hearing that, Nicole said, “Only evil and disgusting man threatens others with child as hostage. No
wonder neither your two sons want to take care of you. A woman like you doesn't deserve a family.”
“Nicole, shut up!”
Zama’s expression suddenly changed.
“If it weren't for you, Vincent wouldn't be dead. He died because of you!”
Nicole found it unreasonable.
“I don't even know Vincent. Why are you blaming me for Vincent's death?”
“You do not know my younger son, but my younger son did die because of you. If it wasn’t for your love
of Samuel, Riley would not leave the Seapolis City and she could not meet Vincent. If she didn’t meet
Vincent, Vincent would not be with her. She seduced him and Vincent died because of her. Riley, that This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
bitch, doesn't love Vincent at all. She just took Vincent as a substitute of Samuel. She wanted to rely on
Vincent's child to get back to Samuel and be his wife. But everything changes because of you. If you
didn’t show up, and you didn't sleep with Samuel, Samuel won't marry you. If Samuel marries Riley,
Vincent won't die. You killed my son, and you want to live a peaceful life? How is that possible?”
Zama’s words left Nicole speechless.
“It was a plot! It wasn't just Samuel that was drugged, me too!”
“Of course I know it. You were getting closer to Samuel, how could I let my plan fail? That drink was not
for you, it was for
Samuel and Riley. You ruined my plan because you had to have a drink with Samuel, and you took
away the wine that was supposed to give to Riley.”
Zama’s remark left Nicole stunned.
Although she knew that she was framed at the party eight years ago, she could not find any evidence.
Some people said it was Swift, and Swift admitted it, but she didn't think that Zama also knew about it.
“It's you? You asked Swift to drug Riley and Samuel?”
“That's right!”
Zama had now confessed all.
“Riley was stupid. She loves Samuel and does everything I tell her. If she marries into the Green family,
she'll be my assistant.
That's why I asked Swift to drug them, but I didn’t expect that Samuel would meet you. If it were not for
you, many things in the Green family would be perfectly solved!”
“What is it? To use your son to get what you want, is that what a mother should do?”
Nicole's question angered Zama.
“You don't know anything about my feud with the Green family. Nicole, you're going to die anyway, so I
might as well tell you the truth. It was me who told Zac to set the fire five years ago. Riley just told Zac
to kill you, but as for how you died, that’s my idea. Samuel doesn't know anything. I know you were
pregnant, but you don't deserve to bear the Green family’s child!”
Zama's words chilled Nicole's eyes.
“It’s you?”
“It's me! Did you really think I was nice to you five years ago? How could that be! My favorite daughter-
in-law is Riley, but you've taken her place. You were really foolish then, and you were grateful to me
when I was kind to you. You’ve been wondering why you and Samuel haven't had a child for three
years. That’s because I put birth control pills in your soup. I never meant to let you to have Samuel's
child in the first place!”
Zama then burst into laughter, while Nicole was shaking with anger.
“You are such a devilish woman. I bear no grudges against you. Why did you do this to me? Because
I'm not your ideal daughter- in-law? But I was framed!”
“You should blame yourself for falling in love my son. My son is the heir of the Green family. But you?
The Bush family is nothing important! The daughter of a small family dares to climb up the ladder? Do
you deserve it? I gave you a lot of contraceptives. As long as you eat it for several years, you will never
be pregnant in your life. When Riley returned, the baby in her belly will be the only heir of the Green
family. But who would have thought that you were pregnant! You've got the luck! I've taken so many
birth control pills in your meals and you're still pregnant! Even the god is against me. So, don't blame
me for being evil to you.”
Zama now told everything to Nicole.
Nicole remembered that she had a cold and had lost her appetite. She didn't have the soup Zama gave
her, and in order not to hurt Zama's feelings, she flushed it down the toilet for more than a week.
That was probably when she was ovulating, and Samuel's crazy interest in her led to her pregnancy.
Thinking of that, Nicole found her so lucky.
Nicole looked at the old woman in front of her and could not have imagined that she would be so cruel.
“After all, the children inside me are your grandchildren. How could you...”
“My grandchildren? Did I take them as my grandchildren? Who admitted my identity? Samuel's father
and I have two sons, but did Samuel's father give me any status? They drove me away after I gave
birth. I'm just a production tool for them! Who gave me comfort by then?”
“That's your choice! You chose to be a surrogate! It was you who took the money from the Green family
and agreed to do the
deal, but you went back on your words and even killed Samuel's father. If Laurel has not been aware of
it and has gone abroad, you might have killed her too, right? Zama, you are a woman who doesn't
know what love is. You know that they loved each other so much that it’s impossible to separate them.
But why do you do this?”
Nicole had known all this for a long time, and now Zama’s shamelessness made her sick.
Zama didn't realize Nicole knew everything. She paused for a moment, then smiled, “So, you have met
Laurel and she told you everything, right? Oh, yes. You've met her. Otherwise, how do you get the
Night Elf Empire if she didn't tell you this? Nicole, I’m giving you a choice. If you give me the ring of the
Night Elf Empire, I'll let you live, or you and your daughter will never see each other again.”
Nicole was shaking with anger.
“You threaten me with your own granddaughter’s life!”
“Don't talk nonsense, just give me the ring!”
This was Zama’s main purpose.
She was doing all these for the ring.
But who did she get the ring for?
It wasn't for Samuel. Had Zama had something to do with Samuel's uncle?
“What's your relationship with Samuel's uncle?”
Nicole's words startled Zama, but she said nothing.
She looked at Macon and said coldly, “Macon, what are you hesitating about? You'd better figure out if
you want to hold off
Samuel. Your wife and child are still in my hand”
Macon was shaking with anger, but he could do nothing.
Many years had passed, but he still didn't know where his wife and child were. He wanted to break the
cooperation with Zama, but he dared not to take the risk.
Just then, there was the sound of an engine outside. Samuel had come.
“No, I am here. If you have something to talk, just tell me in my face.”
