Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

"Just you? What can you do to me? I don't think Samuel has taught you anything good. Or did he teach you to offend the elders? No matter what, Laurel is his mother and she has raised him. How can he not show any mercy?"

Nicole intended to contradict what he said, but Edwin's strength was so strong that cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Nicole really hated this grandfather who played hardball the first time she met him.

"You know nothing else than bullying your granddaughter, don't you? I think you have gone through a lot waiting for retiring to live here, right? I don't think you have any real ability. Otherwise, how couldn't you distinguish right from wrong?"

Even if she was caught, Nicole never admitted defeat with her sharp remarks.

Edwin looked irritated.

"You know nothing!"

"Yeah. But as for what you've done, shame on you! You even help a damned Laurel. You don't deserve to live here!"

Nicole didn't care about what would happen to her. In any case, she just couldn't compromise against her conscience.

Moreover, this old man had also placed her mother under house arrest. A ball of fire had already burned in her heart, and she wished she could burn up this place.

Edwin used more strength again. Nicole felt that her wrist was about to break, but she clenched her teeth and didn't utter a word.

Just when she believed that Edwin would broke her hand, Edwin let go of her.

Nicole quickly took two steps back, feeling as if she was being reborn. She had to admit that Edwin was old but vigorous, who could not be belittled. If they really had a fight, she did not know if she was able to compete with Edwin.

"Sit down."

Edwin restrained his hostility immediately, sighed, and sat in his seat.

Nicole was a little dumbfounded.

What was going on?

However, she did not want to stand. After all, she had been bullied just now. If she still stood, she would be like a punished child.

Nicole sat back down, and the water on her hand became a little cold.

She wanted to ask someone to change for hot water, but after reflection, she gave up. Otherwise, she didn't know what Edwin would do.

Edwin saw through her and coughed. He shouted to the outside, "Bring a cup of hot water."

"Yes, sir."

The people outside replied. Not long after, a man came in with a cup of hot water and even brought some dried fruits and snack.

"Have some. You are no longer as strong as before. You need to replenish some energy. Otherwise, if there is birth defect in the child, you will suffer."

After Edwin finished speaking, he waved his hand. The man went out again and closed the door.
