Nicole was worrying about what to do when she saw the driver getting out of the car and coming over.
"Selina Zhang, I don't know what happened between you and Sabina. I want to say it again. I have
nothing to do with you. Don't bother me again!"
When Nicole just finished her words, the driver pulled Selina away.
With tears all over her face, but Selina eyes were still fierce. She trembled and cursed, "Nicole Du, are
you very happy now? Are you laughing in your dream when you saw that Austin has gone into the jail?"
If the driver hadn't held Selina forcefully, Selina would have pounced on Nicole and torn her apart.
When Nicole was thinking that Selina had been despised by her neighbors, she was even more lack of
confidence and pity as Austin was caught.
Now that she had met Selina, Nicole had no reason to pity her.
Selina was really so annoying.
Though in the end, her arrogant face did never change a bit.
"Selina Zhang, please think it over. I don't owe You Liang family anything. You have no right to yell at
me. What's more, you should look for Sabina instead of throwing a tantrum at me."
After that, Nicole gave a cold look at Selina, and then strode in the direction of the car.
The driver didn't let go of Selina until Nicole got in the car. She was about to run to Nicole again, but
was pushed away by the driver.
Selina's bitchy tricks could only be used to Nicole who had no strength at all. She had no chance to do
that in front of the strong driver.
She trembled all over and watched the driver leave. She dared not to take one more step forward. She
didn't cry out again until the driver got on and drove away.
Her husband had died at a young age. After years of hard work, she had brought up her son. She had
thought that she would have a good time with her son in her old age, but things just went on like this.
Selina had been a shrewish woman for her whole life. Even in this situation, she still wouldn't let go of
others. She had been relying on what her son had, a quick temper, when she had a bit of the power of
being ruthless and fierce. Now that her affair with the gang had been exposed and Austin went into the
jail, that power had disappeared.
It was really unacceptable for her.
Selina sat on the curb, holding her face in her hands and crying for a long time. It was not until the night
fell that there were more and more people came to the snack stalls by the roadside that she stumbled
to stand up. She stooped and left.

On the way back to the villa, Nicole kept thinking about what Selina said to her.
She knew that Austin got into the jail, but she still couldn't figure out why Selina said that she had
stolen Austin's house.
'maybe...
'did Austin give the house which they used to get married inside to Sabina?
An idea flashed through her mind, which startled Nicole a lot.
If what she though was true, then Austin was really nice to Sabina.
In the past, it was impossible for a mean man like Austin to transfer an apartment to a woman who
hasn't got married with him.
Thinking of this, Nicole smiled with self mockery.
After all, she had been very different from the way Austin treated her and Sally.
For her, Austin only bought health care products in hundreds of dollars for her family, and he was
unwilling to do so. For Sabina, he was even willing to buy clothes worth more than ten thousand
dollars.
She couldn't have match with Sabina at all.
Austin loved Sabina so much that he had already transferred the ownership to her. Now even though
Austin was in the jail, no one knew what Sabina was doing.
She had seen Sabina with other men before. Judging from what Selina had done today, she didn't think
Sabina had done anything good. Otherwise, Selina wouldn't have been so crazy to come to her and
tried to get even with her.
Suddenly, Selina's look of frustration and unawareness emerged in her mind. Nicole shook her head
and gave a wry smile. As the old saying goes, "a wicked person needs a torturer." it was true that
Selina bullied her for a long time, but now she met Sabina. It was really a perfect match.
Her mind wandered all the way. The car steadily stopped at the door of the villa of Jacob.
Thinking of the driver's help, Nicole turned around and said thanks to the driver.
"Miss Du, you are welcome. I have the responsibility to protect you in addition to picking you up." The
driver smiled and answered naturally.
"Thank you anyway." Hearing the driver's words, Nicole knew that this must be arranged by Jacob.
Although it was his work, the driver was willing to do his best which deserved Nicole's appreciation.
Nicole still said thanks to him.
Nicole got off the car and entered the villa. As soon as she walked in, Lily came up to her and said that
she had ordered some food for Nicole to try when she came back.
Nicole was surrounded by a group of people.
Nicole was in a trance at that moment.
She felt that the life in the villa was particularly warm and beautiful, which had made her have the idea
of dependence and reluctance.
This thought lasted till the night.
Jacob didn't go home but sent her a message, explaining that he was working overtime in the
company.
Nicole typed "good night" with her lips curled up. But she hesitated when she was about to send the
message.
She was getting afraid in that series of happy moments.
It was the fear of the future.
She recalled the days when she had lived in the villa. From being reluctant to move in, to not getting
used to living in the house, to getting accustomed to living in the house step by step. Now everything
folded into one, which frightened her and scared her.
Because, she deeply knew that there was time limit for such a life.
She had gotten used to the feeling of being picked up by a car and being escorted around by others.
What should she do when the time was over?
The habits were awful, let alone from luxury to save.
Not knowing why, Nicole thought of those women who were as shameless as her, selling their bodies
for money.
In the beginning, many people had their own reasons. But gradually, they got used to getting paid by
others. After all, this job was simple and flexible.
Compared with those who worked hard for many years to get a house, it was easy for them to be a
mistress to the so-called rich and rich people, being lovers.
After tasting the sweetness, no one would like to go to that much trouble.
The more Nicole thought about it, the more frightened she was. She was afraid that someday she
would become that kind of woman.
She would be a woman who only could sold her body to get things but not by working hard.
Nicole bit her lips to wake her up from the pain. She pressed the retreat button and deleted the good
night message word by word.
She didn't want to be fooled by these sweet cannonballs. She couldn't let herself indulge in this life that
didn't belong to her.
After deleting the message, Nicole turned off the light and crawled into the quilt in the darkness.
She couldn't go on like this.
She looked down upon Sabina's lifestyle. She didn't want that to happen on herself.
Could never.
--
Jacob leaned against the back of his chair and put his phone on the file in front of him. He didn't
receive any message.
Was Nicole asleep?
Or did something happen?
The thought of Austin made Jacob feel uneasy and suspicious of Nicole again. Although Nicole
behaved well that day in the car, how could he know that she didn't pretend to be good?
'Austin was her ex-husband. She didn't want to get involved in this matter?'
Jacob's face fell. He stared at his phone for a while and dialed a number.
