Chapter 140 Do You Want To Set Yourself Against Me

"I am going back home. I'll be back tomorrow." _ ". Nicole got up early in the morning and sent this
message to Jacob.

Jacob didn't reply immediately. Nicole didn't wait anymore. She packed up and left the villa with the
things she brought for her family in the shopping mall.

She set a time limit for the video edited before, and didn't worry about the delay of her work. She just
needed to take time to shoot something else after coming back home.

It wasn't noon after Nicole arrived home. Her mother was cooking lunch in the kitchen and Jim was
doing homework in his room.

"Nicole, you are back." Judy held a dish in her hand and walked to the living room happily.

"Mom, what are you cooking?"

Nicole put down the things in her hands, took off her coat and washed her hands. Then she went into
the kitchen with her mother.

She swept the meat on the chopping block and asked in surprise, "Mom, are you going to make
dumplings?"

"Yes, it's your favorite celery and pork meat."

Nicole was so excited that she hugged Judy and rubbed against her shoulder, "Mom, you are really my
mom."

"Don't be silly. I am your mother!"



Nicole knew that her mother did not understand the network interference. She smiled and released her
mother, starting to help her with filling the dumplings.

After the dumplings were ready on the table, Jim went out of his bedroom for dinner.

The three of them sat at the table, talking and laughing. Laughter came from time to time.

After throwing a tantrum to Nicole, Jim went to take a nap. Nicole sat on the couch, chatting with her
mother with a glass of water.

"Nicole, I heard that Austin has been put into prison. Do you know that?" Judy asked.

Nicole paused, then nodded, "yes, I know."

"Do you know what happened? I heard that he was tripped and revenged. "

Although the members of the Liang family were arrogant and unreasonable, Judy was still worried
about them.

But that because Judy was a kind-hearted woman. If the tension between the two families was eased,
Liang family would have no other choice but to take pleasure in Du family's misfortune.

Nicole didn't want her mother to know too much, so she shook her head pretending that she knew
nothing and said ambiguously, "I don't know what happened."

"Then Didn't Selina call you? "

Hearing this, Nicole immediately became nervous. "What's up? Dis she come here for you again?"

"No, she didn't come to me." Judy saw that her daughter misunderstood her, and explained, "I heard
that she was looking for help all over the world. She said that her son was cheated by a bitch and she
wanted to get back at that bitch."



It was not so strange that Judy would know about it when she thought of what Selina had posted
through leaflets to abuse Sabina.

Nicole kept silent, and Judy continued, "at first I thought Selina was spread a rumor about you, but it
turned out that she was not talking about you. If you were a rumor, I would fight against her."

"Of course not me." holding her mother's hand, Nicole smiled bitterly, "if it was, my family would be
turned upside down by Selina."

Judy sighed, "yes, your ex mother-in-law is really a hard nut to crack."

Nicole still remembered that Selina made a call to ask her to hijack her in moral on that day, so Nicole
was indignant at Selina.

She didn't want to talk about Selina and Austin anymore, so she changed the topic and told her mother
that the video she shot was liked by a lot of people and might be famous in the future.

Judy didn't know much about the Internet, so she didn't believe what Nicole said. But she didn't want to
disappoint her daughter, so she followed Nicole's words.

"Mom, I don't need to be on duty for this kind of job. If my career is good, I will quit and go home to
concentrate on it."

"What? Quit your job? It's better not. It's not easy to find a job. What a pity to quit it! "

Nicole just wanted to give her mother a reminder that she could have a reason to go home when she
moved out from Jacob's home.

Seeing that her mother couldn't accept it for a while, she didn't insist.

"Mom, don't worry. Of course I won't quit my job at will. I mean, what if I can do this well in the future?"



"Well, you'd better think about it." Judy was still worried. In the eyes of the older generation, it was rare
to have a stable job.

They hadn't seen each other for a few weeks, and they talked for hours. It was time to cook in the
afternoon.

On a whim, Nicole proposed to take Judy and Jim out for hot pot which was a reward for Jim's good
exam.

The children all liked to eat hot pot. Hearing that, Jim raised his hands and cheered happily.

The daughter insisted and the son hoped. So Judy could not refuse and could only go together.

"Sis, let's go to Brother Terence's restaurant. I heard that restaurant is very delicious!"

As soon as they stepped out of the room, Jim began to whisper in excitement, his voice echoing all
over the corridor.

Judy glared at her son and scolded him, "Jim, you don't study hard at school every day. How could you
hear these nonsense?"

"Mom, children always like to eat. Jim, let's go to this restaurant."

Nicole put up with Jim more softer than Judy.

Hearing this, Jim jumped down the stairs with joy. "We're having hotpot."

"Jim! Slow down! Be careful! "

Looking at her cheerful brother, Nicole's heart was inexplicably sad. No matter how sensible his brother
was, he was still a child, and there were still children who yearned for.



She neglected it before, and she didn't expect her brother to be as greedy as many children.

But Jim was so sensible that he seldom took the initiative to ask for pocket money. Even if he had any
idea, he controlled it. It was not good for his growth.

She should secretly add more pocket money to her brother.

She had never been owed by her parents in her childhood. Now that her father was gone, she had to
shoulder this responsibility. She couldn't let her brother be owed.

"What did you just say? Say it again!"

In the main house of Gu family, David smashed the teacup on the table, which made all the servants
shiver.

Without fear, Jacob looked into the angry eyes of David and repeated what he had just said word by
word.

"Dad, I will not marry Daisy."

The father and son looked at each other. The room was so quiet that the sound of breath could be
heard.

"Do you know what you are talking about?" After a long while, David narrowed his eyes and asked,
"Jacob, Do you want to set yourself against me??"

There was a threat in his tone.

Having prepared himself for such a long time, Jacob already expected that his father would react like
this.



"No, no, but..."
