Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

The stronger a person appeared to be, the more fragile his heart was.

Nicole had indulged her adopted parents for a long time because of the attachments developed over two decades, but now they gave her no choice.

Nicole suddenly felt cold.

She held her arms crossed her chest like a lonely kid.

Samuel opened his eyes and saw this.

His heart ached a lot.

"As long as you say it, I can make them regret it for the rest of their life!"

"No. I want to end all of this by myself."

Nicole leaned against Samuel's embrace, and the pain from her wounds made her frown. Samuel caught that.

"Does it hurt?"

"A little bit. I will make Melissa pay a heavy price for the three lashes."

A hint of anger flashed through Nicole's eyes.

"Do you have a plan?"

Samuel turned his body slightly so that Nicole could be more comfortable in his arms.

After leaning over, Nicole whispered, "Melissa has always been fearless. She thinks I couldn't do anything about her because I always have a soft spot for my adopted parents. They've raised me, so I would always forgive them no matter what they do. To be honest, I really didn't have the heart to hurt them before, but they've hurt me too many times, and I've had enough. Now, they want to use my children. How can I tolerate it? I'm going to do what I have to do, even if that makes me an ungrateful daughter."

"Don't be afraid. I'm here. If you can't do it, I'll help you. Let me take the blame."

Samuel meant it.

If Nicole gave him permission, he would end that couple immediately.

However, Nicole shook her head and said, "No, I want to do it by myself. If you do it, they'll still think I'm a pushover and that I'm just lucky to marry you. I want them to know there are consequences to mess with me."

The thought that her innocent children were betrayed and even hurt by the grandparents they trusted make Nicole's heart burned with anger.

"I'm worried that you'll feel painful."

"If they have the heart to do this to me, why would I feel painful for getting revenge? They gave me no choice."

Nicole snorted, "In his early stage, Braden once copied a picture that Ryder Stuart painted before he became famous. Few people know about this. Stuart had already passed away, and few people know about his work created before he was famous. Braden stumbled on that painting by chance and somehow had the idea. When I was a kid, I overheard him tell my adopted mother. Now, Braden has become famous in the art industry, and he's got disciples working in all lines. Some of his disciples are quite influential and can help him. Maybe it's Major who has got Melissa out of prison. But I believe Braden has pulled some strings as well."

When Samuel heard what Nicole said, he hurriedly picked up his phone to call Ernesto.

"I've told Ernesto to start with this. Once we have enough evidence, his reputation as a great artist will be ruined. I will also ask Laurence to contact the descendants of Stuart. As long as they sue Braden for plagiarism, he will be in trouble. Then, my adopted mother will ask Melissa to help save him. Melissa is now abroad. I wonder if she will come back for her biological father."

Nicole's goal was very simple - she wanted to force Melissa to return to the country, and her parents were her weakness. Of course, if Melissa did not care about her parents, Nicole would think of another way to make her come back.

Samuel listened quietly. As long as Nicole could vent her anger, he would support her to do anything.

"Did Braden only copy one painting?"

"I'm not sure. This is the only one I know of. I haven't verified the others."
