Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

Chapter 197: Night Elf Empire

Nicole could see something from Laurel's eyes, and she seemed to guess something. Nicole was so

smart that made Laurel smile in relief.

She patted Nicole on the back of her hand and whispered, "This is what the mistress of the Green

Family should have. Keep it. A lot of people swear by it.”

"A lot of people? For example, ..”

“See how anxious you are.”

Laurel sighed and gave the box to Nicole.

Nicole opened it up, and it was an old ring with a totem that seemed to have a different meaning, with

an earthiness and yet a dignity around it.

"It's a pair of rings. This one here is the mistress's ring, and Samuel has another, but he never takes it

out. The reason I didn't give it to you five years ago was because I didn't know how long you r

relationship Samuel would last. At that time, you liked my son so much. As a mother, I am proud and

gratified, but as the mistress of the Green Family, I feel guilty because I don't know if you are suitable

for my son.’

Laurel was speaking freely now.

Nicole might have been upset with these words before, but now that she had been through so much,

she didn’t care about much. She knew that what Laurel was going to say to her was probably a secret This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

to the Green Family and that might be the secret she had been trying to find but she couldn't.

“Does mother think I'm good enough now?"

“It's not that you're unqualified, it's Samuel's approval of you. Samuel once told me about Lucas, and

for you and Lucas, he even wants to give up the identity of the Green Family. He only wants to stay

with you and children. This kind of renunciation made me understand Samuel's heart. He has been a

man of few words. Vincent, on the other hand, is the opposite. He tells everything. He leads a free and

easy life, and then he walks away free and easy.’

Speaking of Vincent, Mrs. Green's eyes were wet.

The loss of a child in middle age was too much for anyone to bear.

Nicole hadn't seen Vincent, and she didn’t say anything about him, but she could see that Samuel and

Laurel were missing him very much.

“Mother, the dead can't live again. Don't be sad.”

"What if I tell you Vincent isn't dead yet?”

Laurel's words startled Nicole.

“What?”

"That's the secret of the Green Family, a secret that couldn't be told. Now that you are the mistress of

the Green Family, and I'm telling you this because I want you to understand that from now on, Vincent's

safety is in your hands.”

Laurel held Nicole's hand again.

Nicole couldn't accept it for a moment.

“But Samuel said...’

"He doesn't know. Everyone thought Vincent was dead and contributed his life to the nation. But only I

and the other person know he's still alive. As for what he's doing now, you don't have to ask. Just know

that if Vincent ever asks you for help, you must help him.’

Laurel was not going to say anything detailed about Vincent.

Nicole, who was shocked, nodded.

Mrs. Green looked at the ring in her hand and said, "This ring is not only a symbol of your status, but

also a responsibility to protect the Green Family. I know you're worried hand-held about Lucas's

disappearance. I'm a mother and I know how you feel. I don't know where Lucas is right now, but I can

tell you he's still alive. You can keep looking for him, but you need to keep looking for him in secret.”

“Why?” Nicole didn't understand.

Lucas was her son, the legitimate son of the Green Family. Why did she need to be so secretive?

Laurel sighed and said, "The Green Family has to have someone who grows up in the dark. In

Samuel's life, the man hidden in the dark is Vincent. Now Joseph has announced his identity as the

heir of the Green Family. Of course, it can't be changed, because we can't make Joseph disappear

properly, so...”

Nicole suddenly seemed to understand something.

"Did you make Lucas disappear?”

"To be precise, Vincent saved Lucas, but only Vincent knows where he went. He'll take care of Lucas,

and one day you'll meet him.”

“Mother, I don't understand. What is all this?"

Nicole had no idea that her son was with her brother-in-law, and Laurel did hide it from Samuel.

Laurel whispered, "The Green Family has been in the black and dark society for hundreds of years. Do

you know why?”

"I don't know, but isn't it because the Green Family is so deeply rooted and well-connected?”

“That's one point, but connections change at any time, unless the hidden forces are our own”

Laurel knew Nicole was smart. As soon as she reached the point, Nicole understood.

"Are you saying that the Seapolis City gang actually belonged to the Green Family?”

"Yes!"

Laurel looked out the window and whispered, "The twins of the Green Family are hereditary. Every

generation has two children, either brother and sister, or brothers. But one child would die in every

generation of the Green Family. Do you know why?”

“Because the other has to hide his identity, and works in the darkness, so as to silently protect the

Green Family's foundation?”

Nicole was smart.

Laurel nodded in relief.

"In this generation, Vincent was the first to have a baby, but Riley only gave birth to one child, Joseph,

which made me wonder, but Joseph is indeed the child of the Green Family. As for why it is not a twin,

the doctor also gave an answer. When Riley was in Yunnan, she accidentally ate a kind of food, which

made another child stillborn. Joseph's survival ability was relatively strong, so he swallowed his

brother before he was born. However, his own constitution was also affected. So, I didn't know whom

should I hand over the Night Elf Empire of the Green Family until you and Lucas showed up.”

Laurel's words shocked Nicole.

"Night Elf Empire?”

“Yes, the Night Elf Empire of the Green Family has the same apparent roots as the Green Family, and

therefore it needs a strong heir to inherit it. Vincent is the previous generation, and Lucas is of this

generation. He is the child of our Green Family. In fact, from the moment you and Lucas appeared,

when Samuel told me that you are his wife, I knew that you had another child. I also know the

existence of Zoe through the investigation. Nicole, please forgive me. It was my fault that I took Lucas

away without your permission and gave Lucas another way of life, but it was the Green Family's

choice.’

Guilt and remorse flashed across Laurel's eyes, but there was no regret.

Nicole had mixed feelings. She didn't expect to hear this, and she didn't expect things to turn out the

way they did.

She had been worried that Lucas had been kidnapped, but now Mrs. Green suddenly told her that

Lucas had been taken away by her brother-in-law and was likely to live a different life from now on. He

might never be seen in the sun for the rest of his life, and Nicole was especially upset at the thought of

it.

“He's my son! Mother, he’s my son!"

Nicole was not overly critical, but it could tell that she was resentful.

Yeah!

Who could tolerate their children being treated like this?

Lucas was only four years old!

His life had not yet begun, but it had been shaped by others.

In the future, Lucas might not appear in front of others. She didn't even know when she would see

Lucas again. She couldn't accept the fact that having a son meant having no son at all.

Laurel knew her anger. She sighed, "I know you blame me. Maybe Samuel will blame me for this. In

previous days, the Night Elf Empire of the Green Family was directly under the jurisdiction of the

mistress and the master of the family, although he knew it, he did not participate in it very much. The

master is only in charge of all business, but the mistress needs to shoulder more responsibilities, you

know?"

Nicole's brows tightened.

"Mom, what do you mean?”

"Yes, the rights of the Night Elf Empire are in your hands from now on, and this ring is a token.

Samuel's father died early, and I am in charge of the open business and the Night Elf Empire, and it is

very tired for a woman, but I dared not fall, for there are many who need me. Now, Nicole, I give you

the Night Elf Empire, and Samuel and the Green Family.”

Laurel looked at Nicole solemnly and immediately made her feel full of pressure.

"Mother, I don't understand. What is all this?"

"The Night Elf Empire of the Green Family has many identities. One of the most important identities is it

is the national Intelligence Collection Organization. We belong to the state, got it?”

Nicole was surprised again.

"You mean...”

"Why do you think the Green Family has been standing for a hundred years? Both the Dan Family and

the Louis Family have roots in the Seapolis City, but why could they not compete with the Green

Family? That's because the Green Family work for the nation from the very beginning, both openly and

secretly. The Green Family's Night Elf Empire is a matter of great importance. The woman who takes

this job must stand the moral test of her character, not everyone can do it.’

Laurel was absolutely approval of Nicole, which shocked her.

"How can you think I'm suitable when I haven't done anything?”

"Because Samuel thinks you're right for him, because you're so true to Samuel. The fire five years ago

caused a lot of misunderstandings between you, but what you did to Samuel after you came back was

completely sincere. You did nothing to hurt Samuel and the Green Family under that circumstance, it is

enough to show your characters. Perhaps now you are still relatively young, but time is the best

teacher, it will let you grow. I also believe that with your efforts and Samuel's, the Green Family will be

better off.”

Mrs. Green laughed so intelligently that Nicole suddenly felt that everything about her was transparent

to the old woman. Although it was a little embarrassing and a little depressing, it was enough for her to

be recognized and understood.
