Nicole was uncertain with what she thought about. When Selina saw Nicole's contemplative
expression, she believed that Nicole acquiesced in her words.
"Is that so? I warn you that you'd better to ask your wild men to return my son's work as soon as
possible. Otherwise, I will die in front of your house. I won't let you go even if I was being a ghost!"
Then she was pulled out by Austin.
The police had no way to solve such kind of quarrels in family dispute. Nicole sat in her chair for a
while. The policeman who was responsible for mediation walked over and handed her a cup of hot tea.
"I'm really sorry. We can't meddle in this matter,"
Nicole forced a smile and nodded, "I do understand. Thank you."
"But if they do anything to threaten your family's personal safety or wear any weapons, you must call us
at once, and we will try our best to protect you."
"Yes, I understand."
The policeman was living in Nicole's block as well. From the conversation he had just heard, he could
roughly figure out what was going on. In his opinion, that old lady was pestering his son and daughter-
in-law who had divorced and was still unwilling to let her go.
However, as an outsider, it was hard for an official to judge other people's family affairs. In the end, he
sighed helplessly and went back to his work.
Nicole finished the cup of hot water slowly. She thanked the police and left slowly.
The screams before Selina left kept resounding in her ears, which made her annoyed and have
nowhere to vent her anger.
Life should settle down peacefully after her mother left the hospital. But why did she still have to suffer
from such thing.
Fretful!
Nicole passed by a restaurant and bought three bowls of noodle and a few dishes. She brought them
home.
It was too late to cook now, so she decided to buy some noodles for her mother and brother.
She had intended to do so. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she saw many people in the
house.
Neighbors were gathering in the living room and talking, making it difficult for her to hear what they
were talking about.
Nicole was frightened. She thought something bad might have happened. She didn't have time to
change her shoes and pushed through the crowd and went in.
Then she saw Judy sitting on the sofa in the middle of the crowd, with a runny nose crying to a few
women.
These women sighed and kept persuading Judy to let it go.
As Nicole heard the conversation, she got upset.
"Don't take it to heart. It's just a piece of shit for you. Forget it. Nicole is such a good girl. She doesn't
have to worry about getting married. What's wrong with being divorced? She can still live well after
getting divorced."
"Yes, there is a young man in my company who got divorced this year. I will bring you the photo
tomorrow. You can have a look at it."
"Hey, here comes Nicole. Come here and take a seat. You should have told us what had happened to
your family in advance. If we had known that your mother-in-law was so heartless, we would have
beaten her out!"
Nicole smiled awkwardly. She lowered her head and listened to the conversation of the aunts for a long
time. Then she opened her mouth, "Auntie Wang, Auntie Liu, my mother has just received an
operation. The doctor said that she needs more rest. This..."
"Okay, okay. Let her get some rest. We have forgotten the most important thing because we are in a
worry. We will come back another day. Have something to eat and have a good rest."
The neighbors, who were still bustling around, left.
Nicole and Jim said goodbye with a smile and closed the door. Both of them looked unhappy.
These neighbors were warmhearted and kind. But the same case was that some people liked to join in
the fun, which made trouble and annoyed.
"Mom, I bought some noodles for you. Please eat some."
Nicole went to the kitchen, poured the noodles from the plastic bag into a bowl, and put it in front of
Judy sitting in the living room.
Judy replied calmly and began to eat noodles with chopsticks.
Judy almost finished half bowl of noodles. Then she said she was full and didn't feel like eating.
"Mom, then let me help you to sleep." Nicole hurriedly added.
Judy shook her head. She looked at Nicole and sighed heavily, "Nicole, what happened today? They
told me that Selina came here and said something unpleasant to you. She also said that you had
deprived Austin's job. Is that true?"
Nicole knew that her mother must have known and would ask about it when she saw these · neighbors
coming to her house.
She explained to Judy with her usual manner that she only told Judy half of the story. She told Judy
that Selina was biting her and she didn't know what was going on with Austin's job.
"Then why did she say..."
"Mom, I think it must be because of Austin. He didn't dare to tell Selina what he did. Selina thought it
was all my fault and began to blame me. She liked to take the blame for others. It's not the first time. If
it was really my fault, they would have told the police. As soon as I and Selina had just arrived at the
police station, she was taken away by Austin in a hurry. It would prove that they had something to do
with it. They were guilty. "
"That's right. Their family and that guy, Austin, are all so bad!" Jim spoke up for his sister.
Judy showed a helpless look. "Oh, they just think our family is poor, so you are soft hearted that they
act so unbridled. If our family is rich and powerful, she definitely dare not be so unbridled."
Nicole shrugged and said casually, "they always bully the weak and fear the strong. Well, let me help
you to sleep. We are already very unlucky to encounter such things. Don't take too much time on
them."
"All right."
Judy still had some doubts, but when she heard the firmness in Nicole's words, she didn't ask more
and went into the bedroom.
After Nicole Closed the door of the bedroom, Jim walked up to Nicole and asked in a low voice, "sister,
why didn't you call me just now? If I were there, I would beat that old woman to a pulp!"
Nicole burst into laughter. She pointed at Jim's forehead and said, "you are really a good boy. If you
really beat that old woman, she would bother you to death."
"Then i Then I will not let her know I did it! " Jim said with a smile, rolling his eyes.
"Hey, Jim, you can't do this. I'll tell that you may be arrested if you are careless."
Jim pouted and said obediently, "fine, I won't do it."
He said that, but in his mind, he would definitely find a way to teach her a lesson if she dared to make
trouble for him again! Teach her a lesson!
Nicole spent the whole day thinking about what happened today. When she went downstairs at dusk,
she was still on the alert, worrying that Selina would came to her again.
But Selina didn't show up this afternoon, perhaps because she had just suffered a loss in the morning.
After shopping, Nicole had cleaned the fish and cut some scallion. When she was about to cook fish
soup for her mother, her phone in the living room suddenly rang.
She quickly wiped her hands on her apron and went over to pick up her phone.
It was Jacob.
