Chapter 609 You Can''t Promise Her That


    Nicole did not like Mrs. Don and even hated her for what she had done. However, Nicole did not need


    her to die for her sake. She did not need it!


    At that thought, Nicole tried to run out.


    "Stop her!"


    With Laurel''smand, her men quickly blocked Nicole''s path.


    "Mrs. Green, don''t make things difficult for us. Please go back."


    "Move aside!"


    Nicole''s eyes were red.


    She had thought she didn''t care about Mrs. Don, and after what she had put her through, Nicole didn''t


    want to admit she was a Don. But she didn''t want to owe Mrs. Don any favors. She didn''t want to at all.


    Laurel''s men looked at Nicole in embarrassment and said, "Mrs. Green, we are really sorry. But please


    go back."


    Nicole made a move without saying anything.


    She could fight but was no match for these men who had been specially trained.


    After a few rounds, Nicole was controlled.


    "Let go of me! Let go!"


    Nicole struggled, but Laurel sneered, "Do you want to stop her? Can you? Mrs. Don died for you. You


    think she would give up the deal with me? Strangely, didn''t she use to look down on you? She wished


    you had nothing to do with the Dons. What''s going on? Why does she care about if you are doing well


    with us Greens? Why even risks her life to gamble? Is this the power of kinship?"


    "You will never understand! You will never know what that feels like. The heavens have cursed you with


    no child of your own! You will never know what it feels like to have a family! I curse you. I wish you a


    miserable end!"


    Nicole was beyond angry.


    Laurel''s expression dulled.


    Infertility stood a permanent pain in her heart.


    If she had had her own son, she wouldn''t have been so cautious to please Samuel. She was walking


    on eggshells around him, which felt terrible. Nicole''s words pierced deeply into her chest like daggers.


    She came to Nicole ferociously and said gloomily, "Come again? Do you want to bet if I will cut off your


    tongue?"


    "I dare you! Vincent is dead. If Samuel finds out what you are doing to me, what would you have left?


    Everything you have was because of him. A woman like you deserves to die alone without a child. You


    deserve to die a miserable death!"


    Laurel pped Nicole in the face.


    Nicole felt a burning pain on her face and a taste of rust in her mouth. However, she goggled at Laurel


    and said coldly, "Even if you beat me to death, it won''t change the fact that you''re all alone. You''re a


    woman without a heart. You''re not worthy of being a human being, much less a mother!"


    "Good, good!"


    Laurel broke intoughing from fury.


    She called Mrs. Don in front of Nicole and turned on speakerphone.


    "Mrs. Don, I''ve changed my mind. You guys killed one of us. I feel I won''t be satisfied if you just die.


    Well, once I realize it is impossible to let go of the hatred, I will find Nicole an abomination. Right, I


    forgot to tell you. I sshed her with cold water and asked her to clean the floor and tidy up the house


    in wet clothes. I wonder if she would catch a cold and have a fever. You probably don''t know her arm is


    injured, so she shouldn''t have let it touch water. Besides, her back was scalded. How pitiful. But I am


    enjoying it. What should we do?"


    "You are way out of line! You promised me you wouldn''t hurt Nicole! That child has suffered too much.


    How could you do that? She shouldn''t pay for Mark''s mistake. I''ve said I will sacrifice myself for her


    safety. You promised me. You promised me as long as I die, you will let her go and set her free! Laurel,


    you have to honor your words!"


    Mrs. Don shouted at the top of her lungs.


    Nicole''s eyes hurt gravely.


    "Don''t! Don''t promise her anything! Don''t! I don''t need you to do this! Do you think I''ll be grateful for


    that? I''ll never forget the harm you''ve done to me. I told myself I would never step into the Don''s again.


    I have nothing to do with the Dons. So, your life isn''t worth anything to me. Don''t promise her."


    Nicole struggled and cried.


    Hearing Nicole''s voice, Mrs. Don smiled, "I know you won''t forgive me. What I''ve done is really


    ridiculous. But Nicole, Grandma is at Death''s door. If I can do something for your future, I don''t care


    what will happen to me."


    "I said I didn''t need it. Don''t you understand?"


    Nicole''s heart tightened and twitched with pain.


    Mrs. Don said gently, "Grandma hasn''t done anything for you. Mark did something evil. As his mother, I


    have to pay for his sins. Neither of us is innocent, but you are. Nicole, you won''t have a grandmother


    anymore. You have to take care of yourself. Don''t suffer for a man. We Dons know right from wrong,


    and I will pay the Greens what we owe them! You don''t need to be sad. Grandma will be pleased


    knowing you will be alright."


    "Cut the crap. Mrs. Don, it doesn''t matter if you die. I want your death to be known throughout Seapolis


    City."


    Nicole and Mrs. Don were both stupefied.


    "What do you mean?"


    "Try to figure it out yourself. I''ll give you half an hour. If there''s no news of your death in the media, I''ll


    cruelly torture Nicole. You know what Samuel is doing. He won''t be back for a while. When hees


    back, I will say Nicole has left. Do you think Samuel will believe his mother or your granddaughter? You

    can''t pay us back without making some noise."


    Nicole understood what she meant.


    "You want her to admit to the media that Mark killed Vincent?"


    "Shouldn''t she? You owe us an exnation! You owe it to everyone! You say you are good people and


    loyal to the country, but you have a ck sheep among you. Shouldn''t you inform the public about it?"


    Laurel stared at Nicole.


    "No! No!"


    Nicole tried her best to shake her head.


    Mrs. Don had four sons and a husband, and all of them had sacrificed their lives for the country.


    Although Mark had killed Vincent, it shouldn''t overshadow all the good they had done. Moreover, to


    Mrs. Don, this was even worse than death.


    Not only did Laurel want to push Mrs. Don to death, but she even wanted to make the Dons fall from


    grace and be scolded by everyone. More importantly, she wanted to use this to tear Nicole and Samuel


    apart.


    Once it went public, everyone would think it was inappropriate for her to be with Samuel. Even if she


    didn''t care, what would Samuel think? How would he gain a foothold in Seapolis City?


    Nicole looked at Laurel, who was still elegant, but felt there was a demon inside her.


    "Mrs. Don, don''t promise her! You can''t promise her!"


    Nicole shouted and struggled. Unfortunately, she was not strong enough. Her arms hurt so badly, and


    her back was burning in pain. But now, she couldn''t care less about it.


    Mrs. Don was silent.


    "What? Are you reluctant to die? Are you holding on to your good reputation? Didn''t you say you were


    sorry to Nicole? Didn''t you say you could give up everything for her safety? Mrs. Don, so they were just


    words. It turned out your so-called kinship is nothing."


    Laurel sneered.


    Mrs. Don took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I promise you. It''s time to pay you back. But you must


    keep your promise and not make things difficult for Nicole."


    "No! Grandma, don''t!"


    Nicole''s heart suddenly tightened.


    Mrs. Don was excited.


    "What did you call me? You finally see me as your grandmother, right? Good child, I am so d to hear


    that before I die. The Dons owe you. In this lifetime, Grandma won''t be able to make amends. If you


    are okay with it, you can visit my grave and light me some incense. Remember Grandma''s words.


    Don''t suffer for anyone. You are a Don, and you have enough to live the way you want. Even if we have


    Mark, your father, your grandfather, and your uncles were all good men! With their blessings, you will


    be happy for the rest of your life."


    "No, Grandma, please don''t! I don''t want you to die! Don''t promise her!"


    Nicole was in tears.


    Mrs. Don said to Laurel, "A gentleman should honor his words. Although we are not gentlemen, I will


    use my life to gamble on your integrity. Be easy on my granddaughter. I will pay you back myself."


    After saying that, she hung up the phone.


    Nicole''s heart was about to break.


    "Let go of me! Let go!"


    Laurel looked at Nicole and whispered, "Take her to the basement and lock her up. After Mrs. Don dies,


    arrange a boat to send her away. You must promise not to appear in front of Samuel again. Otherwise,


    don''t me me for being cruel to you and not keeping my promise with your grandmother."


    "You will be punished!"


    Nicole could not get free andshed out.


    "I don''t know if I will get retribution, but I want the Green family to be what it used to be. I want Samuel


    to respect me as before. Since Vincent is gone, you Dons will suffer what we have suffered. You are a


    Don. No matter what you say, I will not let you near Samuel or my house. You can have Zoe. Lucas is a


    Green, so you can''t take him away! Nicole, you should be d you have her as your grandmother.


    Otherwise, what do you imagine would be of the rest of your life?"


    Nicole couldn’t get more enraged.


    She could not move her hands or feet, so she spat on Laurel''s face forgetting about her upbringing.


    "You''re a bastard!"


    Laurel was caught off guard and hit. Her eyes turned red from her wrath.


    When she raised her arm to hit Nicole, someone came in and stopped her.
