Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1365

However, Samuel came in front of Nicole to protect her. He looked at Laurel with a complicated expression and said in a low voice, "Don't listen to her. This is Country F, and we don't know if Uncle Mark is here. Let's investigate first."

His words clearly showed that he didn't believe Laurel.

Laurel smiled bitterly.

She had done so many bad things. No wonder Samuel didn't believe her.

"Mark's troops are in the city. As a Miller, I know some news. Mark took a secret mission and left Country Z last year. In fact, the mission is investigating the missing cases of the senior officials' children here. The girls here are the daughters of senior officials from all over the world. After Leo gets them, Santino keeps an eye on them. They are left naked so they can't escape. Even if they escaped from this secret room, they couldn't show up in public. Derek and his people are here to keep an eye on them, and I'm here to take care of their daily necessities."

Laurel told Samuel and Nicole everything she knew.

Looking at the girls curled up in the cage, Nicole felt sorry.

These girls were born in rich and powerful families and used to be the apple of their parents' eyes. But now, they were Leo's prisoners. They were imprisoned here in the dark. It was obvious that Leo valued and trusted Santino a lot.

"Why is Santino so valued by Leo?"

Nicole hated Laurel and even trembled when she recalled the past. However, the karma was real. Seeing Laurel ended up like this, Nicole didn't want to revenge on her anymore. Moreover, Samuel was raised by Laurel. Nicole preferred leaving her to the country to deal with.

Laurel looked at Nicole. This girl was scared and had no dignity in love five years ago, but now, she was shining brightly. Laurel had a complex feeling.

She believed Nicole had treated her as a good mother-in-law, but she had destroyed the wonderful family.

A hint of guilt and sorrow flashed through Laurel's eyes. Then, she said, "One of Santino's relatives on his mom's side is Mr. Alex. Alex's offspring are outstanding, so Leo values Santino a lot."

In the end, it was because Santino's mother had a strong family background.

Nicole immediately understood.

Samuel looked at Laurel and asked in a low voice, "Country F has advanced technologies, so I guess the country is financially abundant. Then, why do he and Jayden covet the lodes in our country?"

Laurel shook her head and said, "If we only developed the economy as usual, we could be self-sufficient. But over the years, the king has been working on military research and nuclear weapons. These studies require a lot of talents and money, but our country is not wealthy enough to cover these funds. Therefore, Jayden has been extorting money from other countries these years to support domestic research and military development."

Now, Samuel understood why Leo and Jayden targeted the lodes.

"So, it was Leo's order to covet the military blueprints I designed for the country, correct?"

Samuel looked at Laurel. He wanted to ask all the remaining questions today. After all, there wouldn't be such an opportunity again.

After Laurel was extradited to the country, she would be tried and punished. She might go to prison or be sentenced to death. He had thought that he didn't care, but he was wrong.

Hearing Samuel's question, Laurel nodded.

Now, there was nothing she couldn't admit.

"At first, the king wanted Elvis' gene design. Then, he saw the military blueprints you designed. The Green family is not big, but everyone is talented. Leo has targeted the Green family since the very beginning."

Samuel's eyes darkened.

"Were you the one who planned the scandal about Vincent's fight?"

This was something that Samuel couldn't let go of.

He had always felt that Vincent would not fight with others. He believed that Vincent was reasonable even when he was young. He had been suspecting this for many years, so he definitely wanted to take this opportunity to get the answer.

Speaking of Vincent, Laurel looked a little sad.

"Vincent had always been nice and sensible. I didn't plan his fight. However, after the fight, Leo asked me to secretly expand the influence of it. I thought it would only ruin Vincent's reputation and never expected Jayden to send someone to kill that injured child and blame everything on Vincent. Obviously, they wanted Vincent to die. The Green family had only two children. Although Vincent was not as talented as you, they didn't want any risks. They valued your military talent and decided to keep only you. That was why they planned such a thing. I couldn't bear it, so I secretly informed you to send Vincent away in advance. But he still died."

Laurel's words reminded Samuel that he indeed got an anonymous letter before hurriedly sending Vincent away.

He couldn't find out who sent the letter. It turned out to be Laurel.

So, she loved them, so matter how much.

Samuel felt it funny.

She was a spy of an enemy country, but he actually wanted to find her some excuses to comfort himself.

Samuel's expression turned a little cold. He said to Nicole, "Call Uncle Mark and see where he is."

"Alright."

Nicole turned on her phone cautiously. Samuel turned on the virtual computer and began to disturb the signal.

Mark was using a military cell phone here with a different number. Samuel told Nicole the number. The phone was picked up quickly.
