Chapter 805 You Are Beasts


    "What? Are you afraid?"


    Nicole looked at them with a puzzled expression.


    "Just go in. Cut the crap!"


    One of the bodyguards was a little embarrassed and angered, directly pushing Nicole inside.


    A cold wind instantly blew towards Nicole''s face.


    Nicole involuntarily touched her arm.


    It was so cold!


    Was this room a freezer?


    She looked around but could not see anything clearly. It was daytime, but it was terribly dark here.


    Nicole stretched out her hand and fumbled on the wall. When she touched the switch on the wall, she


    turned on the light. At the same time, the door was quickly closed and even locked.


    The strange goings-on made Nicole somewhat scared, but she still risked a nce.


    The entire room was designed as a mourning hall. Ad''s photo was hung on the head of the bed, and


    her body was ced upright on the bed.


    The windows of the entire room were tightly shut, and ck curtains were even drawn. If Nicole was


    right, there should be a cold storage device in this room to prevent Ad''s body from decaying.


    Nicole was quite bold. Besides, she didn''t think that Ad would harm her. After all, they had no


    grievances or enmity, right? To be exact, they could be considered friends.


    Nicole slowly walked up to Ad''s bed. When she saw Ad''s expression, she was shocked and


    almost squatted on the ground.


    Blood oozed from Ad''s eyes, nose and mouth, and her face was purple. It could be told at a nce


    that Ad died from poisoning.


    But Laurence said that Ad died of illness.


    Moreover, if Ad was poisoned, wouldn''t it be easy to save Ad with Laurence''s blood? Why did


    they bother to invite Morgan over?


    Nicole did not understand.


    She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and gently reached out to hold Ad''s hand.


    Ad''s body was already stiff. Because of the cold air, her body was intact, but Nicole felt that this was


    Ad''s greatest insult.


    Could Ad''s poisoning be rted to Laurel?

    Nicole could not figure it out, nor did she have the time and opportunity to ask.


    "Ad, I didn''t expect it to be thest goodbye to you after we separated in Dungeon. Don''t worry. No


    matter what grievances you have suffered, I will seek justice for you. Furthermore, I promise that I will


    definitely save Laurence and let you rest in peace."


    Nicole said in a low voice.


    She knew that there must be a monitor in this room, but her voice was so low that even she couldn''t


    hear it clearly. She didn''t believe that Laurel would have such a good ear.


    Everything needed was supplied, but they all belonged to Ad.


    Nicole had a strong feeling that Laurel determined to force her to rece Ad and then marry Allen.


    If Laurel nned to do so five years ago, then she was too scheming.


    Five years ago, Nicole was still the daughter-inw. At that time, Laurel did not n to let her stay in


    the Green family.


    Five yearster, if Nicole hadn''te back to find Samuel for Zoe, Nicole didn''t know what kind of


    situation she would be in right now. Would she have be the puppet in Laurel''s hand?


    However, Nicole did not understand, as a Miller, why Ad was thrown away like a pawn.


    Perhaps Ad''s mother could give Nicole this answer, but Nicole probably wouldn''t be able to hear it


    now.


    Because of the cold air, Nicole felt as if she was going to freeze.


    She continuously rubbed her arms. After looking around, she ran to Ad''s wardrobe and found a coat


    for herself, for she couldn''t take it anymore.


    After getting some warmth, Nicole sat on the carpet. Looking at the room which was gorgeously


    designed, she couldn''t help but feel a little sad as she thought about Ad''s fate.


    The people outside did not hear Nicole''s shouting. They were a little surprised and admired Nicole''s


    courage. Someone meddlesome came close to the door and knocked. "Hey, are you still breathing?"


    Nicole smiled faintly and replied, "Do you want toe in and take a look?"


    "No. Just stay by yourself. Let me tell you. The room will be haunted in the middle of the night. You


    should pray for yourself."


    After that, the outside instantly became silent.


    Haunted?


    Nicole sneered. Many men in this world were more frightening than ghosts. If the room was really


    haunted, Nicole really wanted to find out how Ad died.


    Time passed away.


    Nicole was a little sleepy.


    Bending over the side of Ad''s bed, Nicole fell asleep in a daze.


    Someone seemed to be stroking her hair in her sleep especially gently.


    Nicole couldn''t help but think of her mother, Audrey. Such a long time had passed. Nicole didn''t know if


    she was alright. There was no news from Finn, which made Nicole very worried.


    "Mom...."


    She unconsciously murmured, and then slowly fell asleep.


    When the sun rose the next morning, Nicole woke up. Although the room was still dark, there was a


    trace of light.


    Nicole took a look at Ad. She was still the same. Last night, it was really a dream.


    Nicole went to the bathroom to wash up, and then waited for Laurel.


    But the first person who came was Cynthia.


    After she entered the door, she saw Nicole sitting beside Ad''s bed, and Ad did not move at all.


    Only then did Cynthia''s face soften.


    "Don''t touch my daughter. Do you know? You''re just a substitute. You can''t be my daughter in this


    lifetime! I only have one daughter, and that''s Ad!"


    Cynthia''s eyes were red. It could be told that she had been crying all night. Perhaps Cynthia hadn''t had


    a good sleep since Ad died.


    "Don''t you think that Ad will me you? As a mother, you don''t have the ability to protect your own


    child."


    Cynthia paused for a moment, and then she said somewhat embarrassedly, "What do you know? All


    the Millers listen to Laurel. She is the matriarch!"


    "That''s why you''re willing to give away your daughter to her? You and I both know that there''s


    something behind Ad''s death. How did she die? Don''t you want your daughter to be buried as soon


    as possible?"


    Facing Nicole''s aggressiveness, Cynthia covered her face and cried.


    "Of course I do. She is my daughter! I gave birth to her! Why don''t I want her to grow up happily? But


    now she''s lying here, unable to hear me anymore. I really wish I could die instead of her."


    "What''s the use of saying that? You watched Laurel kill her. I don''t understand why you listened to your


    matriarch and sacrificed your daughter''s life."


    "Why? Because our family members are in her hands. Where can we go? We were born in the Miller


    family. For generations, the Millers have to obey our matriarch by rules. Although my husband is a


    professor, he is nothing in front of Laurel. We are reluctant to part with our daughter, but my parents,


    my siblings and my husband''s siblings are under Laurel''s control. What can we do? Do you think we


    haven''t tried to save Ad? We have. We even invited Morgan, but she was afraid of Laurel and


    escaped. Who else can we count on? What decision can we make among so many people and


    Ad?"


    Cynthia cried hard in grief when she said this.


    Nicole suddenly had a guess, and her face turned slightly pale.


    "Don’t tell me that you killed Ad."


    Nicole looked straight at Cynthia.


    Cynthia''s body trembled even more violently.


    "We don''t want to. But if we hadn’t done it, Laurel would ask someone else to do it, and Ad would


    suffer more pain!"


    "Are you her parents? You are beasts! Ad trusts you so much. How can you do this?"


    Nicole was shocked.


    Nicole thought that Laurel killed Ad, but she didn''t expect that it was actually Ad''s parents.


    Cynthia fell to the ground while shedding tears. She looked at Ad who had already died and cried,


    "We have no other choice."


    "What do you mean you have no choice? You gave birth to her, yet you killed her ruthlessly. How cruel


    of you!"


    "I don''t want to, but Nicole won''t live long. She was born sick. Without Laurence''s blood, she would


    have died long ago! Laurence is a medicine man that we keep in order to renew Nicole''s life. If it


    weren''t for Laurence, Nicole would have been executed at birth. We have been carefully raising Nicole


    for so many years. But in the end, we still lose her."


    Hearing Cynthia''s exnation, Nicole frowned.


    "Wait a minute. You said that Laurence was used to renew Ad''s life. Then what kind of illness has


    Ad got?"


    "It''s a rare disease. When she was born, doctors said that she wouldn''t be able to live for three years.


    But with Laurence''s blood, Nicole lived to her twenties. However, she shouldn''t have fallen in love with


    her medicine man. Laurel asked her to marry Allen. It was settled five years ago. However, Nicole


    opposed it this year. In order to be with Laurence, she even nned to elope with Laurence. So, she


    caused such a disaster. In the Miller family, any woman who refuses to obey the orders of the family


    will die. When we found out that Laurel wanted you to be Ad''s substitute five years ago, we really


    hoped that you were the one who died!"


    Cynthia''s eyes were filled with madness, and Nicole felt that Cynthia was mad.


    Perhaps it was because Cynthia had stayed in such a family for too long, or perhaps it was because


    she had been suppressed for too long. Nicole was stunned by Cynthia''s distorted views.


    "Five years ago, I didn''t know anything, but I had already been schemed against. Now you even tell me


    that. Mrs. Miller, other than Ad, I don''t like a single one of your family!"


    "Do you think we like you? If it weren''t for you, Ad mightn''t have died! It was you who indirectly killed


    Nicole, but you are going to marry into the Brook family as Ad. Nicole, do you think you can leave


    alive? Even if you marry into the Brook family, you will end up like Ad! Otherwise, how can Ad be


    buried logically?"


    Hearing what Cynthia said, Nicole immediately understood. No matter what Laurel was up to, she did


    not intend to let go of her!
