Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1256

The way Samuel looked at him slightly stunned Joseph.

"What's the matter? Did I say something wrong?"

Zoe smiled and ran over to Joseph. She hugged him and said with a smile, "No. Joseph, you're awesome. I think you are smarter than my brother."

Joseph instantly felt a little embarrassed when hearing Zoe's compliment.

"That’s not true. Lucas is really smart."

When Joseph talked about Lucas, his eyes were full of joy without hatred.

Samuel knew that Joseph really loved Lucas and Zoe. He opened his heart and treated them as his siblings.

They were all children, and there was absolutely no grudge between them. As long as they loved each other, it didn't matter if Joseph hated him.

He was okay about that.

Samuel suddenly got relaxed.

"Alright, go and choose a room at the hotel we pick. Ask the bodyguards to follow you. This place isn't the Seapolis City. We’re unfamiliar with the surroundings, so be careful. Do you understand?"

Zoe and Joseph nodded.

Joseph held Zoe's hand and took a step. When he saw that Samuel was about to enter the ancestral hall again, he couldn't help but shout.

"Daddy, are you still going in?"

"Yes."

Samuel turned his back to Joseph, his eyes determined.

His wife was still inside the hall. He had to go in.

However, Samuel didn't tell that to the children in case they grew worried.

Joseph looked at Samuel's figure. His eyes suddenly became wet.

"Daddy, take this in case you smell the incense again."

Joseph slipped a small bottle into Samuel's hand and left with Zoe.

Samuel looked at the small bottle in his hand and suddenly smiled.

This kid was really reserved.

Joseph had both grudge against and love for Samuel. After all, Samuel truly treated him as his own son in the past five years.

Samuel put the small bottle into his pocket and walked into the ancestral hall again.

"Stay outside. No one can enter without my permission."

"Got it."

The bodyguard nodded.

Samuel closed the door of the ancestral hall.

It instantly became dark inside. The cold and gloomy atmosphere was frightening.

After all, it was haunted by dead souls. Samuel looked at the spirit tablets in the ancestral hall. There were more than 200 of those. He didn't know if all dead people in the town were honored here, or just the grandmasters.

Right now, he was the leader of the Harper Town. The first thing he came to the ancestral hall was worshiping the ancestors. He didn't expect to be set up.

Joseph said that Morgan arranged all this.

What did Morgan intend to do?

Samuel quickly searched around. He finally saw a small bump on the wall and gently pressed it. But he soon lost balance and fell down.

He did not panic, but quickly checked around. The light here was so dim that Samuel could not see anything clearly.

After he got used to the light, he found himself falling into a cellar.

The cellar was empty but small, with a capacity of less than three persons.

Samuel fell right on the ground. His back almost fractured.

He cried out when a sharp dagger got close to him. He subconsciously dodged and fought back at the same time.

When he caught a whiff of faint fragrance, Samuel quickly held his breath and took a move. He clenched the wrist of the attacker, who fell down with a scream.

Then Samuel kicked the attacker onto the wall. The attacker groaned and slowly fell down on the ground.

Samuel looked around. Nicole was lying unconscious. He noticed that his attacker was a woman in her thirties.

The woman's face was covered in camouflage. Samuel immediately treated her as an enemy.

"Nicole!"

Samuel quickly walked towards Nicole.

"Don't touch her! I'm warning you. I've put poison on her body. If you touch her, you'll bleed to death."

The woman sounded old.

She looked like in her thirties, but sounded like in her sixties.

Samuel's eyes immediately turned cold.

"Did you hurt her?"

He walked towards the woman like Satan.

His fury sent a chill down her spine.

"I didn't. She fell from above. I saved her. But who are you? You are the one who harmed her, right? I won't let you hurt her."

The woman's eyes were filled with panic. But she still struggled to get up and protect Nicole.

Samuel's eyes suddenly became tender.

He ignored the woman and walked straight towards Nicole.

"I'm not trying to scare you. I'm serious. I've really smeared poison on her body. You have to believe me, and...."

"Shut up!"

Samuel shouted coldly. The woman trembled with fear and extreme pain.
