Chapter 363 We Have No Chance Left

Mrs. Don was rendered speechless by Nicole's words.

For so many years, Nicole had no idea about her true identity at all. She had just found out that she
was a member of the Don family, and it was indeed true that she didn't give Nicole much care.

For a moment, Mrs. Don's attitude softened.

"Nicole, I know that you've suffered a lot all these years."

"I didn't suffer much. Instead, I even feel that my life in the Bush family is good. At least, my parents
won't scold me because of an outsider's slander. They will hear my side of the story first. Mrs. Don, I
won't stop you from liking anyone or recognizing an outsider as your granddaughter. I am almost thirty
years old. When I need care most, my parents are always by my side. As for the Don family, I am just
dispensable. Mrs. Don, not everyone thinks of the Don family as a good home. I'm doing well on my
own now."

After saying that, Nicole turned around.

Samuel had already got off the car. Having seen what had happened just now, he put on a grim look.

"Mrs. Don, why did you come here and stop my car?"

"Don't ask her. I have no interest in this."

Nicole was telling the truth.

Even though she used to feel a kinship with the Dons, she was utterly disappointed in them now.

Samuel knew Nicole's distress, and he could not allow his beloved woman to be bullied like this.



"Since she has already come, I have to ask her which rule of the Don family you have violated. Is it
worth letting Mrs. Don personally come here to scold you?"

Samuel's expression was so cold now that even Mrs. Don felt a little afraid.

Jason wanted to defuse the tension, but he heard Samuel say, "If you want to speak up for your
mother, you'd better keep silent. I'm afraid that we won't even be friends after this."

Jason had no choice but to shut up.

Mrs. Don had always known that Samuel was a cruel man. Seeing his aggressive look, she couldn't
help but be enraged.

"How dare you talk to me like this?"

"Then how should I speak to you? If you are Nicole's grandmother, I will show you some respect since
you are an elder. However, as far as I know, Nicole hasn't entered the Don family's ancestral hall or the
entrance of your house after she returned for so long. In that case, I can't see you as her grandmother
and treat you with respect. You stopped us at my villa's gate and almost hit my car. How can I be
friendly to you?"

Samuel said so straightforwardly that Mrs. Don became a little embarrassed.

She looked at Nicole's back and whispered, "Nicole, do you have the heart to watch your husband treat
me like this?"

"My husband is right. Please have some self-respect, Mrs. Don."

Nicole turned around. She had managed to stop the tears from falling down her cheeks.

She didn't need to be sad at all.



She got the antidote for the sake of Mrs. Don and her mother-in-law, and now the two elders' attitudes
towards her were obviously different.

Mrs. Don would rather believe the words of an outsider than her own granddaughter. What else could
she expect from her?

The more she expected, the more disappointed she would be. Instead of being sadder, it would be
better to speak out her inner thoughts right now.

After Nicole figured this out, her aura changed as well.

Jason realized this and suddenly panicked.

"Nicole, Mrs. Don hasn't been in a good mood recently. She may be a little out of line today. Don't take
her words to heart."

"Mr. Jason, I have as much soul and heart as any of you. I can treat the Dons with sincerity, but it's not
necessarily what you guys want. Since that's the case, why should we pretend to be on good terms?"

Hearing Nicole's unpleasant words, Mrs. Don became more agitated.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I just mean that it's so hard to be accepted by the Dons. To tell you the truth, I have the slightest
intention of becoming a member of the Don family. Please don't involve me in your family's affairs
anymore. I really have no interest in them."

Since Nicole got straight to the point, Mrs. Don understood what she meant. However, it was because
of this that she became even angrier.



"You ordered someone to lock Viola up. What's worse, you starved her for a whole day and even threw
her into the sea. She almost drowned! Don't you feel bad about doing this? She is a living person! If
you don't like Viola, just tell me, and I'll ask someone to send her away. Why do you have to do this?
You also have your own children now. How can you be so heartless to your own sister?"

As soon as Mrs. Don said this, Nicole immediately laughed.

"What evidence do you have to prove that I did all of this to Viola?"

Seeing that Nicole was still reluctant to ponder her mistakes, Mrs. Don trembled all over and said, "If I
had got evidence, you wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to me like this now!"

"I'm sorry. I have no idea about what you are talking about. But if you have any evidence, please
submit it to the police, so that I can have a chance to prove my innocence. This matter has nothing to
do with me. I don't care what Viola said to you, but I want to make myself clear today. I will by no
means deal with Viola at the expense of my family and children! She doesn't deserve it!"

After saying that, Nicole directly looked at Jason and said, "Mr. Jason, please take your mother and
leave this place. Otherwise, I will call the police."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Don angrily swung her cane, but Samuel stopped her.

"Mrs. Don, this is my house. If you want to hit my wife in front of me, you'd better think it over. Although
I'm no longer the president of the Eternal Group, I'm still the heir of the Green family. If you insist on
hurting my wife, then you can have a try."

The atmosphere was extremely tense. A serious conflict was about to take place.

Jason hurried to persuade Mrs. Don.



"Mom, I don't believe Nicole did this. She doesn't need to fight for anything. Don't listen to Viola's one-
sided story. Kidnapping and murder are felonies. Nicole definitely can't do such a thing."

Although Jason spoke up for her, Nicole still did not change her attitude. Instead, she felt very tired.

She was physically and mentally exhausted!

"Samuel, I'm a little tired," Nicole said in a low voice.

She did not seem to pretend at all.

She was supposed to be happy today, but her good mood was totally destroyed by the Dons.

With a frown, Samuel said to Jason, "If you don't want to bring shame on your family, you'd better take
Mrs. Don to leave now. I don't care whether you believe Viola's words or not, but if what Mrs. Don said
today is true, I will sue Viola for framing my wife's reputation tomorrow. If you insist that Nicole did
those things, then show me your evidence."

After saying that, he held Nicole's shoulder to help her get into the car. Without taking another look at
Mrs. Don, he directly drove past them.

Mrs. Don was so angry that her entire body trembled. Just as she was about to say something, she
heard Jason say, "Mom, Nicole's parents are both upright people, so she can't be so cruel and
heartless as you think."

"Nicole wasn't raised up by Audrey. Perhaps it is because of the Bush family..."

"Nicole's foster parents are well-known artists in the Seapolis City, so it is even more impossible for
them to raise up an inhumane child. Without any investigation, you believe Nicole to be the culprit



based on Viola's words. I also want to ask you whether you regard Nicole or Viola as your
granddaughter. Are you going senile? Or do you really not want Nicole to enter our family?"

Jason's words directly shocked Mrs. Don.

"She is also a Don. Why can't she enter our family?"

"We have no chance left now. You've been against Nicole all this time. When Nicole came to visit the
ancestral hall last time, you even coerced her into accepting Viola as the Don family's adopted
daughter. Do you think that Nicole needs us to give her the ID card? I can get it for Nicole, and so can
Samuel. She doesn't need our help at all, but she entrusted all this to us. However, what did you do?
Instead of allowing your own granddaughter into the house, you accepted an outsider. Today, you even
questioned Nicole for Viola's unreasonable accusation. Mom, have you ever cared about Nicole's
feelings? She didn't grow up with us, so she doesn't form a strong bond with the Dons. How long do
you think she can put up with your strong bias?"

Jason even felt that Mrs. Don had been brainwashed by Viola.

After coming back from the outside, Viola said that she had been kidnapped by Nicole and even thrown
into the sea. However, she didn't have any evidence. Neither he nor Audrey believed her, but Mrs. Don
did.

In Mrs. Don's view, Nicole was a petty person.

Her opinion of Nicole made Jason distressed and helpless.

Instead of calling him Jason, Nicole addressed him as Mr. Jason just now. Couldn't Mrs. Don tell that
Nicole's attitude towards the Dons had become indifferent?

She even naively thought that Nicole would endure grievances again and again for the sake of kinship.



Mrs. Don was rendered speechless by Jason's question. She also seemed to realize that she might be
too arbitrary.

"Even if I am arbitrary, I am her grandmother after all. How can she treat me like that? She can just tell
me that she didn't do it."

"Nicole insisted that she was innocent. But do you believe her?"

Jason was lost for words.

Maybe Mrs. Don had shown signs of senility after getting old. He was confused about why she did all
these absurd things.

Since things had turned like this, he had no idea what he could do to bring Nicole back even if he
wanted to.

After returning home, Nicole and Samuel went to their bedroom with the two children in their arms.

Samuel knew that Nicole was distressed, so he whispered, "Don't think too much about it. Go take a
shower and get a good sleep. Tomorrow will be another good day."

"OK."

Nicole nodded and suddenly asked, "When can I get my visa? I want to go on a trip to relax."

She felt extremely aggrieved here. She had thought that as a Don, she would be a little reluctant to part
with her family. But now it seemed she overestimated their affection towards her.
