Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

"What else do you want besides water?"

Laurel was surprised at what Nicole said, countering, "I don't know. It must come to me. As a Green, you're on call. Anyway, you don't work or earn money. Do you think you can just take anything for granted?"

She sounded snarkier as she spoke.

Nicole was bigger than that and said to the servant beside her, "Serve her a glass of water."

At that, she left without saying another thing to Laurel.

She could tell she was not welcome here. Laurel would keep jerking her around and even use her to humiliate the Dons.

She had no interest in defending the Dons or standing there waiting to be humiliated by Laurel.

Laurel was enraged by Nicole's arrogance and picked up the cup beside Mrs. Don, throwing it at Nicole's back.

"How rude of you! I asked you to serve me water, but you had the audacity to let a servant do it. What's the point of having you in my house?"

Nicole had just filled the cup with hot tea for Mrs. Don.

Nicole had never imagined Laurel would be so mad, so she didn't see that move coming, and the teacup as well as the hot tea hit her back.

"Nicole!"

Mrs. Don cried out in alarm.

Nicole felt a burning pain in her back.

"Laurel, what have you done? How can you blame Nicole for what Mark did? Does Samuel know you are out of your mind?"

Jason had trouble moving around, but his expression also changed.

Mrs. Don staggered to Nicole and asked with concern, "How is it? Does it hurt? Let's go. Grandma will take you to the doctor."

As she spoke, she held Nicole's hand.

Nicole could feel the bones of her hand.

She remembered Mrs. Don's hands used to be full. It seemed she had suffered a lot from that incident.

Nicole was in a daze for a moment, then pulled out her hand, and said, "I'm fine. Thank you, Mrs. Don."

Tears welled up in Mrs. Don's eyes when she heard what Nicole called her.

She had no one to blame but herself for how things were between her and Nicole.

Nicole's back was killing her. She was too angry to pay attention to Mrs. Don but turned to look at Laurel, asking word by word, "Do you find this entertaining?"

"Yes! It's been fun. What? Are you going to hit me?"

Laurel was fearless.
