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 glance.

The entire room was designed as a mourning hall. Adela's photo was hung on the head of the bed, and
her body was placed upright on the bed.

The windows of the entire room were tightly shut, and black curtains were even drawn. If Nicole was
right, there should be a cold storage device in this room to prevent Adela's body from decaying.

Nicole was quite bold. Besides, she didn't think that Adela 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 Adela's bed. When she saw Adela's expression, she was shocked and
almost squatted on the ground.

Blood oozed from Adela's eyes, nose and mouth, and her face was purple. It could be told at a glance
that Adela died from poisoning.

But Laurence said that Adela died of illness.

Moreover, if Adela was poisoned, wouldn't it be easy to save Adela 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 Adela's hand.

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

Could Adela's poisoning be related to Laurel?

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

"Adela, I didn't expect it to be the last 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 Adela.



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

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

Five years ago, Nicole was still the daughter-in-law. At that time, Laurel did not plan to let her stay in
the Green family.

Five years later, if Nicole hadn't come back to find Samuel for Zoe, Nicole didn't know what kind of
situation she would be in right now. Would she have become the puppet in Laurel's hand?

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

Perhaps Adela'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 Adela'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 Adela'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 to come 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 Adela died.

Time passed away.

Nicole was a little sleepy.

Bending over the side of Adela'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 Adela. 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 Adela's bed, and Adela 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 Adela!"

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 Adela died.

"Don't you think that Adela will blame 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 Adela'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 Adela? 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
Adela?"

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 Adela."

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 Adela would
suffer more pain!"

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

Nicole was shocked.

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

Cynthia fell to the ground while shedding tears. She looked at Adela 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 explanation, Nicole frowned.

"Wait a minute. You said that Laurence was used to renew Adela's life. Then what kind of illness has
Adela 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 planned 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 Adela'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 Adela, I don't like a single one of your family!"

"Do you think we like you? If it weren't for you, Adela mightn't have died! It was you who indirectly killed
Nicole, but you are going to marry into the Brook family as Adela. Nicole, do you think you can leave
alive? Even if you marry into the Brook family, you will end up like Adela! Otherwise, how can Adela 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!
