Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 516

The footsteps stopped at Nicole's bedroom door, but no one knocked or entered.

Nicole frowned slightly and quickly got up. She went straight to the door and abruptly opened it.

"Mrs. Green!"

It was Wendy.

Nicole was surprised to see her expression.

"Wendy? Why are you at my door? Is there anything wrong?"

"No, it's nothing big. It's just, just...."

Wendy stammered.

Nicole smelled something fishy.

"What exactly happened?"

"Mr. Vincent said he needed to rest, and no one was allowed to disturb him, but his phone was left in the living room. Someone has been calling him just now. I don't know if I should go in and wake him up, so I came to ask your opinion."

Wendy quickly finished her story and handed Vincent's phone to Nicole.

Nicole did not take it.

There was surveillance in this room.

Besides, how could Vincent be so stupid and leave his phone in the living room?

Phones were so important nowadays.

This was clearly a trap.

However, Wendy did not go to Vincent but her. Nicole could tell why.

Didn't Wendy work for Laurel?

It looked like Vincent was capable and even had Laurel's men within his grasp.

Nicole looked at Wendy and said coldly, "This is Mr. Vincent's phone. I can't decide. You should give it to him."

"But he said no one could disturb him."

Wendy looked particularly anxious and conflicted.

Nicole said indifferently, "There are priorities. Vincent is the president of Eternal Group. If anything important is delayed, neither of us will be able to shoulder the responsibility. It is better to expect Vincent's rage than to suffer heavy losses. Go."

Wendy was still a little nervous.

"Mrs. Green, why don't you go? You are Mr. Vincent's sister-in-law, so he won't make things difficult for you."

"Wendy, have you forgotten who you are? Don't push me around in this house."

Nicole's face darkened.

Wendy shivered. She was surprised by Nicole's sudden temper and couldn't help but swallow. "Mrs. Green, I'm not ordering you around. I'm just a little afraid of Mr. Vincent. He seems to be different recently. Sometimes when he is alone, the look in his eyes frightens me."

Nicole did not know if she was doing it on purpose or really trying to tell her something, but no matter what, she wouldn't go to Vincent.

This was clearly a trap set by Vincent. She must be stupid to step into it while knowing that.

"What nonsense? He has always been gentle and refined. Speak ill of him behind his back again and the old Mrs. Green will punish you. Hurry up and give the phone to him."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Wendy left with a long face.

Nicole did not hesitate to close the door. Then she went to the bathroom.

She was afraid there would be cameras in the bathroom, so she did a good searching. Fortunately, she didn't find any.

She let out a sigh of relief.

What exactly did Vincent want?

Nicole took a quick shower. When she came out of the bathroom, she heard the motor running outside.

"Wendy, who just left?"

Nicole dried her hair as she opened the door. When she saw Wendy in the living room, she asked casually.

"It's Mr. Vincent. He answered the phone. It seems like there is something urgent in the company, so he left."

Nicole squinted slightly.

What a coincidence!

Did he mean to give her time to meet with Mr. Bates?

Nicole felt everything was too coincidental.

She was not a child, so she could tell something was wrong.

Perhaps Vincent created an opportunity for her to meet with Mr. Bates' man by taking the children out.

Then whom did Mr. Bates work for?

Vincent?

If that was the case and she attended the appointment, it would mean that she suspected Vincent, thus giving herself away.

However, if she didn't go and Mr. Bates worked for Samuel, then she would miss the chance of learning something about Samuel.

After all, Samuel was missing, and perhaps that Mr. Bates knew something.

Nicole was conflicted and didn't know what to do.

Time passed minute by minute. Zoe got up at three o'clock and insisted on looking for Joseph.

Nicole couldn't win with her and brought her to Joseph's room.

Joseph was still asleep.

Nicole felt a little distressed and said to Zoe, "Joseph is sleeping. We should not disturb him. How about we get back to my room and paint?"

"No, I want to be there with him. He is wounded."

Zoe enjoyed spending time with Joseph.

Nicole couldn't argue with her.

"Then be good. Don't wake him up. Can you watch cartoons by yourself?"

"Alright."
