Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

"Old Mrs. Green, you can't accuse me of something I didn't do! Mrs. Green! Mrs. Green!"

Petty quickly shouted.

"Cover her mouth and take her away!"

Laurel hastily gave the order.

The people around Petty immediately covered her mouth and dragged her away.

Laurel sneered, "I can't? I will tell you I can with my actions! Do you think I am stupid enough to let you inform Samuel? You and Nicole are not in charge here. I'm not dead yet."

Petty blustered, but no one could hear her when her mouth was covered. Besides, Nicole was still sleeping.

Nicole was tuckered out.

The injuries on her arm and back exhausted her. She had a lot on her plate, but she really wanted to take a nap.

Petty offered her some sense of security, because she could fight. However, Laurel caught Petty off guard and had her under control.

Laurel said to her men, "Take out those who have sided with Nicole and betrayed me. They must never set foot in Seapolis City again."

"Yes!"

Laurel had fought in the business world by herself for so many years and managed to take the Greens where they were today. She definitely had some tricks up her sleeve.

Everything changed while Nicole was sleeping.

"Mommy! I'm back! Samuel! I'm home!"

Lucas' voice came from outside.

His voice was so crisp and perky, from which one could tell he was eager to see his parents.

Laurel frowned slightly and said to her men, "Go and bring Lucas to my room. Don't make any noise. Just say his mother is injured and resting. Tell him to keep it down."

"Yes!"

Her men immediately got to it.

Just as Lucas entered the living room, he was stopped by Laurel's men.

"Lucas."

"Move aside. I want to see my mommy!"

Lucas just wanted to know if Nicole was okay.

One man said respectfully, "Lucas, Old Mrs. Green is asking for you. Mrs. Green got injured in the Dungeon and is resting. Please lower your voice."

"She was hurt? You said my mommy was hurt? Who hurt her? Where's Samuel? Why did he let my mommy get harmed again? No, I have to take a look."

As he spoke, Lucas was about to go upstairs.

"Lucas, I really can't let you do it. Old Mrs. Green told me no one was allowed to disturb Mrs. Green. Look, Old Mrs. Green wants to see you. She is your grandmother. Shouldn't you say hello to her first?"

Lucas was persuaded and stopped.
