Chapter 238: It Can&##x27;t Be Hidden

“What? Are you shocked? Do you really think that no one knows about it?”



Viola looked at Nicole mockingly, then hurried into the room and deliberately knocked her on the
shoulder when she passed by Nicole.



"Well, sorry! I didn't see you. You won't tell my mother about such a trifle, right?"



With that, Viola swaggered into the villa.



"What's that smell? What are you doing at my mother's house?"



Viola was obviously looking for trouble.



What smell could it have in this villa?



Nicole ignored her and went back to the coffee table to tidy up her design drawings.





"Wait, you didn’t steal my mother's painting, did you? My mother’s painting is worth a lot of money.
Don't have any evil thoughts at the sight of it.”



Viola's words were a little insulting.



Nicole looked at her and said word by word, “These are my own drawings. Please take a gocd look."



“Come on, you? Can you draw? Stop bragging! Put these things where they are! You can't touch them
until my mother comes back and says they're not hers. You should behave like a guest.”



With that, Viola sat down on the sofa.



As if she had seen the thin blanket that Nicole had used, she threw it onto the ground.



"What is it? Why are you putting it on the sofa? My mother is a high-class person. She can’t be
compared with a low-class person like you. Do you know that? How shameless you are! An
unregistered person has the cheek to eat and drink at my mother’s place! What? Does Samuel not
care about you? Or does he abandon you?”





Viola's words became more excessive.



Nicole felt her heart hurt badly, but she didn’t bother to talk to Viola. She turned around and went back
to her room.



"Stop! I haven't finished yet. Where are you going?”



Viola acted like a lofty Queen.



Nicole turned around and said coldly, "Miss Yate, I am your mother’s guest, not yours. This is also your
mother's home, not yours. Therefore, please don’t teach me a lesson like a master. You don't deserve
it!"



"What did you say? Dare you say it again!"



Viola was enraged.



She jumped up from the sofa and was about to beat Nicole.





At this time, Audrey came back.



"Viola, what are you doing?”



Audrey's voice was not loud, but it stopped Viola.



Viola, who was arrogant and domineering just now, softened when she saw Audrey.



“Mom, how do you take this person in? Do you know that? She is an unregistered resident. If the police
find that she is in your house, we'll be in trouble.”



Viola's words made Nicole feel a little uncomfortable.



She wasn't like that from the beginning, but it seemed useless to say this now. Perhaps she really
brought trouble to Audrey.



"Auntie Audrey, I’m sorry to implicate you. I'll leave immediately.’





After saying that, Nicole left.



However, Audrey stopped her.



"What are you going to do? Where can you go? There are cops everywhere. Your picture has been
posted on the Internet and someone even offered bounties for you. Are you going to put your neck into
the noose?”



Nicole was stunned.



“My photo has been posted online? Someone even offered bounties for me?”



She never expected that Allen would do this!



What exactly did he want to do?



Did he try to drive her into a corner and have her beg him?





Looking at her, Audrey sighed and said, "Feel free to stay with me. Don't think about anything else. I
bought you some clothes. Go and see if it fits.”



As she spoke, Audrey handed the bag to Nicole.



Nicole was instantly moved.



Viola could not bear to watch anymore.



“Mom, why do you have to protect her? She is just an unregistered person. Besides, she was stealing
your paintings just now. Why did you keep such a thief here?"



*Shut up!"



Audrey's voice sank.





"What do you mean she stole my paintings? When have you seen me paint cars? As my daughter,
don't you know that I am famous for landscape paintings?”



Audrey's voice was so fierce that Viola trembled.



"Mom, I just say it”



“Don't talk nonsense if there's no evidence. Nicole is my guest and my friend. I have told you not to be
presumptuous. What were you doing just now?"



Audrey was a gentle person, but now she did scare Nicole a little bit when she got angry.



"She scolded me. She said I'm not the hostess of this house. I'm your daughter!" Viola curled up her
lips in grievance.



“But this is my house!”



Audrey's words hurt Viola, and her eyes turn red.





"Mom, for such an outsider, you treated me like this, didn’t you? I'm your daughter, okay? I even can't
live with you. Why can she?"



"Viola, if you weren't my daughter, I wouldn't even allow you to enter the community. Now you even
treat my guests like this. What the hell are you trying to do? Look at you! You are a girl but act
mischievously every day. And what happened to your face? Can you take care of it? Don’t run around,
okay? Also, if the news that Nicole being with me spreads, don't blame me for not recognizing you as
my daughter!”



"Mom, it could be someone else. It can’t be hidden!”



"I don't care. I only see the result. If the news leaks, I'll find you.”



Now, Audrey was somewhat unreasonable and even tyrannical.



Viola glared at Nicole.





“I don't know how you bewitch my mum, but it doesn’t matter. If you want to stay here, just stay. I'm
going to do my things. Right, it's fine to tell you that he’s in trouble now, and I am the only who can help
him.”



With that, Viola left angrily.



Nicole was somewhat uneasy.

Something happened to Samuel?



Or was it that Allen had set him up with some problems?



Nicole felt guiltier with Audrey supporting her.



“Auntie Audrey, I'm sorry to trouble you. I'd better leave.”



“Where can you go? Stay here. Go to cook some food if you are free. I'm a little hungry.”



After saying that, she walked into the bedroom. Nicole was left alone in the living room.





She was still holding the clothes that Audrey had bought for her, which were the styles she liked.



From her painting, Audrey could tell her dressing style. Audrey was thoughtful.



Nicole put down the clothes and went to the kitchen for cooking, but she was still thinking of Samuel.



She didn’t know what happened to him.



When the food was ready, Audrey came down and sat to eat with Nicole. However, it was obvious that
Nicole was absent-minded.



Audrey sighed and said, "Are you worried about what Viola said?”



Nicole was stunned and nodded.



“My husband is in trouble now. I don’t know what's going on. I am in an awkward situation now and
can't get out. I...”





“What exactly is going on with you? Tell me”



Audrey seemed to be very interested.



Nicole told Audrey about Samuel and her and the grudges against Allen.



After hearing this, Audrey sighed and said, "People always fail to see through it. They regard the love
in hand as the true love, but they don’t know that letting go is also a kind of love. Unfortunately, Allen
won't understand. Eat your food. After that, I'll take you out for a walk. Don’t worry about your identity
with me around.”



This sentence surprised Nicole.



“Will it bring you trouble?"



"If it will, won't you go?"





Audrey looked at Nicole and asked.



Nicole was unsure of it, but she still nodded and said, “I have already troubled you a lot by staying
here. If going out will drag you down, I’d better not to."



“Aren't you worried about your husband?”



"Yes, lam. But I can’t let you take the risk for me. I am not that important, and something happen to you
is the last thing I want.”



Nicole spoke frankly.



Audrey looked at her and smiled. She then said, “If Viola were half as sensible as you, I would be
relieved. The person she was talking about just now could not be your husband, right? Does she take a
fancy to your man and desire to take him from you?"



Nicole didn’t know how to answer Audrey's question.





It was true, but Raye Hawk and Viola forbade her to talk about it to Audrey. Nicole was still depressed
when Audrey asked her.



As mother, Audrey knew Viola's personality very well.



She sighed and said, “Why did I give birth to such a daughter?”



"Auntie Audrey, don’t worry. My husband won't take the bait. It is only Viola's wishful thinking.’



“That's right, but I can’t bear to see her like this. She has been spoiled by her father. Just leave her
alone.’



“Okay.”



As Nicole said this, Audrey picked up the phone and dialed.



“Dominic, your daughter is acting lawlessly now. Do you still want to pamper her? Her face will be
ruined if she doesn't receive any treatment. Get someone to treat her face, even if it needs to tie her up



to the hospital bed. Otherwise, don't call me.”



After saying this, Audrey hung up directly.



Dominic might be Viola's father, but Audrey said that she was not married. She spoke to him like this,
which could be seen how important she was to him.



Nicole did not want to interfere in Audrey's family affairs, so she just listened quietly.



“Eat your food. Once you finish, I'll take you out for a walk.”



Audrey's words excited Nicole.



“Really?”



“As long as I say yes.”





Audrey smiled and then lowered her head to eat.



Nicole was ecstatic, but she didn’t dare to show it too much. She lowered her head and took two
mouthfuls of food before she felt full.



Seeing that, Audrey knew that this girl couldn't wait any longer. Waiting could be torture for her now.



She put down her chopsticks and said, "Go get dressed. I'll wait for you.”
