Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 542

"Excuse me, ma'am, but can I see your phone?"

Nicole involuntarily stepped forward. Her words immediately made the hotel owner alert.

"Why would you want to see my phone? It's mine! Do you know how much it is? Would you pay for it, if it's broken?"

"OK, I'll pay for it!"

"Even if you would pay for it, I won't give it to you. Do you want to stay? If you want to stay, now check in. If you ask for directions, leave now."

The owner's attitude towards Nicole was obviously not as good as her attitude towards Tim. Moreover, Nicole was so beautiful. The lady disliked her even more.

Nicole didn't mind, instead, she smiled and said, "Beauty, I'm going to stay at your hotel. You don't have a reason to drive the guests out, do you?"

"Pay the money and register here. Let me start by saying whether you stay here, you have to pay the money first."

The lady was somewhat happy when Nicole called her a beauty.

Nicole continued smiling and said, "Alright. I'll pay for ten days first, okay?"

"Ten days? What are you doing here?"

The lady suddenly asked.

This was a small village. There were no tourist attractions and historical sites nearby. According to her dresses, Nicole didn't seem to be a native. Why would she stay here for ten days?

The lady couldn't help but think of Tim who came here not long ago.

'That man was also dressed very well and was generous. Unfortunately...'

Thinking of this, the lady suddenly said, "I just remembered that there are no rooms left. You can visit other hotels. There is an Emperor Hotel about five kilometers south from here. It's not bad. You can go there."

Seeing the lady pushing her out, Nicole thought it was strange.

"Lady, I don't think you have many guests here. Why don't you have an empty room? It's not like I don't give you money. What are you doing?"

"I don't have to explain the reason to you. I just don't want you to stay here. Leave my hotel now!"

The hotel owner suddenly turned against Nicole.

Nicole narrowed her eyes slightly. The moment the lady reached out her hand, Nicole quickly grabbed her wrist and exerted a little strength.

"No! It hurts! Let go of me! Don't provoke me. If you don't let go of me, I'll make it hard for you!"

The lady was fierce. However, Nicole didn't care.

Nicole stretched out her other hand and snatched the phone from the lady, holding it in her hand to observe.

The lady hurriedly shouted.

"Give me back my phone! Or, I'll call the police!"

"Your phone? Are you sure, it's your phone? You don't know the power-on password of your phone?"

Nicole's mocking words made the lady's expression even colder.

"I just forget it."

"Okay! However, this doesn't seem to be your phone. If you keep saying it's yours, it's fine. Let's go to the police station and talk about it. You don't know its power-on password, but I do!"

As she spoke, Nicole immediately unlocked phone in front of the lady.

The lady suddenly became alert.

"You, you, you..."

"Where is my friend?"

Nicole's face clouded over. She grabbed the lady's hand harder.

The lady felt as if her hand was about to break.

"Let go of me first! Let go of me and I'll tell you!"

The lady looked around.

Nicole could tell that the lady would not tell the truth easily. Perhaps the lady would run away as soon as she let go, and this was what Nicole wanted.

Nicole pretended not to guess the lady's thoughts and whispered, "You'll tell me where my friend is if I let you go, won't you?"

"Yes, yes, yes. As long as you let me go, I'll tell you!"

The lady hurriedly begged for mercy.

Nicole thought for a moment before letting go of the lady's hand.

At this moment, the lady suddenly sprinkled something similar to flour or lime powder to Nicole.

Even though Nicole was prepared, she had no choice but to take a step back and even close her eyes.

Taking advantage of this, the lady rushed out and quickly ran in one direction.

Nicole wiped her face. Her eyes were filled with anger.

She glanced at the phone. The last call was indeed from the landline of the hotel.

In other words, the lady must know where Tim went.

Thinking of this, Nicole quickly followed out. Unfortunately, the lady was like a loach, and she disappeared all of a sudden.

Nicole was a little annoyed. Nicole never expected that the lady would actually escape under her nose.

Nicole searched around again, but still couldn't find her.

Just as she was feeling discouraged, Nicole suddenly realized that many people were gathering around the riverbank.

Nicole was a little curious and walked over.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone died in the river."

A child told Nicole.

Nicole felt nervous.
