Chapter 118 Austin, Who Got Caught.

On the way back home with Nicole, Jacob received a phone call.

It was about Austin.

At that time, Nicole was sitting beside Jacob, leaning her head on his shoulder. So she also heard what
was said on the phone.

Austin was caught by the police.

At that moment, Nicole's body stiffened, and the original ease and relaxed expression on her face
disappeared in an instant.

She got to know what was going on with Austin from the assistant, and she also knew that Austin
would be caught sooner or later. But to her surprise, this day came so soon.

Since she had known about the truth, It had been less than half a month that Austin got caught.

"You heard it."

Jacob put down his phone and said indifferently.

Nicole gritted her teeth and nodded.

The original happy atmosphere in the car suddenly froze, and both of their faces turned sour at the
same time.

"What do you want to say?" Jacob asked as he looked down at Nicole.

Nicole shook her head, "nothing."



She really didn't have anything to say. Even if she was stupid, she knew that she couldn't say anything
good for Austin in front of Jacob. Moreover, she didn't want to say anything either.

The evils we bring on ourselves are the hardest to bear.

It was only a matter of time that Austin was caught by the police. It was not Jacob's fault.

"You really don't want to plead for him? If you really care about him, maybe I can let him suffer less. "
Jacob stared closely at Nicole, trying to find a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

He didn't mean it. If Nicole felt sorry for Austin, he wouldn't let Austin off.

He would never let Nicole off as well.

Jacob pressed his lips and didn't let go of any change in Nicole's expression.

This time, however, Nicole didn't do anything that would make him angry.

Hearing his words, Nicole sighed. She said in a soft but firm voice, "I won't plead for Austin. He has to
take the consequences for what he has done. He gets the consequences now, and I won't pity him."

At last, the tension on Jacob's face was eased a little. He gave a short laugh and didn't interrupt.

Nicole continued, "I think people are easy to be cheated. When I was with him, I also knew that he had
such shortcomings, but I didn't find them unbearable. Now since I'm not with him, I've begun to feel that
I can't stand these shortcomings anymore."

"Am I too cold-blooded?" Nicole raised her head and looked at Jacob with a bitter smile.

Jacob didn't expect that Nicole would think of herself from this case. He felt uncomfortable when he
heard what she said, but he didn't know why.



He looked back at Nicole and answered after a while, "Not so bad."

"What?" It took a long time for Jacob to answer, so Nicole didn't realize that he was answering her.

"You were asking if you are a cold-blooded man? I say it's okay, not so bad." Added Jacob.

Nicole looked at Jacob and frowned. Remembering what she had heard from him, she was at a loss
whether to cry or to laugh.

"I remember that you once said I was a cold-blooded woman. Why do I become better now?"

"What?"

Nicole smirked and said, "have you forgotten?"

Jacob didn't forget, but he said that out of anger. What he meant was that Nicole was too cold-blooded
to him, which made him uncomfortable.

As for Austin, the more cold-blooded she was, the better.

Of course, he wouldn't tell her about it.

Jacob squinted his eyes and pretended to take a rest. "I forgot. Let's stop here."

"Okay."

Seeing that Jacob cut off the conversation, Nicole was angry but also wanted to laugh. This topic was
started by Jacob, but he ended it hastily.

That was really annoying.



Nicole stared at Jacob for a while, but he didn't utter a word. She had no choice but to sigh. She leaned
her head on his shoulder again.

As soon as she got close to Jacob, she felt that her hand was held tightly by Jacob.

A smile appeared on Nicole's face. Although Jacob said nothing, she could tell from his physical
movement that he was not angry anymore.

She believed that Austin's case was finally over.

As Jacob had stayed in another city for two days, the company in A City accumulated a lot of business.
As soon as he returned to a city, he devoted all his attention to work.

Nicole took the opportunity to go home and spend a weekend with her mother and Jim.

In the afternoon, Nicole was walking out of her home estate as usual, and she was about to get on
Jacob's driver's car.

When she was about to cross the street, someone suddenly appeared in front of her.

Nicole was so frightened that she stopped and took a step back.

When she saw clearly who the person was, she frowned tightly.

The woman, Selina, in front of her wasn't as imposing and imposing as she had been not long time
ago. Her clothes were no longer glamorous, and there were obviously a few wrinkles on her face,
which made her look a few years older.

It seemed that she was greatly shocked by the disdain of her neighbors and the arrest of her son.

"What do you want?" Nicole calmed herself down, straightened her body and asked Selina impatiently.



"Give me the phone number of Sabina." Selina said in a hard voice, pulling her long face

"Sabina?"

"Yes. Give me her phone number, and her address."

Nicole looked at the hateful expression on Selina's face and guessed something. But at the moment,
she was very annoyed with Sabina and Selina, so she didn't ask Selina directly. She just coldly replied,
"I have deleted her phone number. As for where she lives, I don't know."

Selina got upset, "You used to be good friends. How couldn't you know where she lives? You don't
want to tell me, do you? Or do you work with her to bully me and Austin? !"

"I don't know what you are talking about." Nicole replied in a low voice. "I don't know what happened
between you. I have nothing to do with you now. Don't come to me again."

Then she was about to leave.

"Don't go!" With a shrill yell, Selina reached out to pull Nicole back.

"Shame on you! bitch! My son Austin treats you so well. How could you join hands to bully him! Now
he's framed and put into jail. And you're going to steal his house! Are you still human beings or not? "

While Selina was cursing Nicole, she cried so sadly. She was about to attract a group of onlookers.

Nicole tried to get rid of Selina's hands, but she failed because of Selina's strength.

If it was picked on by Selina again...

Then she would have to go through what happened last time. Although she would be fine at last even
she was taken to the police station, it was really a shameful process.
