Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Nicole Reports the Abuse
Hang up the phone.
Wendy Quinn trembled with anger: "Bitch, bitch, bitch..."
Wendy Quinn repeatedly cursed "bitch" to vent her dissatisfaction.
After finishing cursing, she gradually calmed down.
What to do?
Originally, she wanted Nicole to "accidentally die," but that bitch Ivy Linden’s phone call ruined her entire plan.
It wasn’t Ivy Linden’s doing, but rather that bitch’s friend... Ivana Monroe.
Ivy Linden is just a naive fool, what does she know? Ivana Monroe is a scheming bitch.
Want to snatch Samuel Lockwood from her hands?
No way.
Wendy Quinn pondered repeatedly and still decided to return Nicole to Ivy Linden.
Two o’clock in the afternoon.
Wendy Quinn woke Nicole from her nap.
"Dead girl, stop sleeping, get up."
The room had only Wendy Quinn and Nicole, Wendy didn’t bother to pretend, she pinched Nicole’s small forearm fiercely while pulling her, since she was going to deliver this dead girl to Ivy Linden soon, might as well pinch.
"Ah~"
Nicole cried out in pain.
Wendy Quinn covered her mouth and viciously said, "Cry again, and I’ll stab you to death with a needle."
Nicole was too scared to make a sound, teary-eyed.
Wendy Quinn released her mouth, seeing Nicole’s pitiful expression, she wanted to abuse her more, pinching her harshly a few more times: "If it hurts, grit your teeth, dare to cry out loud, you know the consequences."
Nicole’s little face wrinkled in pain, looking pitifully sad, she bit her teeth, not daring to make a sound.
After Wendy finished pinching, she said, "I’m going to take you out now, deliver you to your bitch mommy, you better cooperate with me. Otherwise, you’ll suffer by staying with me."
Nicole’s teary eyes lit up, but recalling Wendy’s deception, Nicole felt afraid again.
Afraid Wendy would trap her in a closed car again, stabbing her with needles.
Seeing Nicole’s distrust, Wendy became infuriated, wanting to slap Nicole but refraining because the Lockwood’s mother might see it downstairs, making it difficult to explain.
Wendy controlled her anger, thought of the phone, handed it to Nicole, pointing to the dialed number and said, "Look, isn’t this your bitch mommy’s number? She called to get you back, now you believe it, right?"
Seeing the familiar number, Nicole recognized it as her mommy’s for sure, the number her mommy taught her to memorize countless times.
Tears flowed from Nicole’s eyes.
She obediently followed Wendy Quinn downstairs.
Wendy Quinn held Nicole’s hand, appearing like guiding her own daughter in front of Lockwood’s mother.
Lockwood’s mother saw Nicole being so "intimate" with Wendy Quinn, she was very satisfied, saying with a smile: "Wendy, you’re great with kids, Nicole listens to you so quickly."
Wendy Quinn "bashfully" smiled: "You’re too kind, Mrs. Lockwood. By the way, Mrs. Lockwood, Nicole wants a Snow White doll, I’ll take her to the mall to buy one."
Lockwood’s mother disapproved: "How can that be? You’re pregnant, and the mall is so big, walking too much could harm your baby..."
Wendy Quinn said with a smile: "It won’t, I’m not that fragile, my child is strong, and... exercising is good for pregnant women, beneficial for childbirth."
Upon hearing "beneficial for childbirth," Lockwood’s mother stopped opposing: "Alright, just be careful, I’ll ask the driver to take you."
Wendy Quinn quickly said: "No need for the driver, I’ll drive Nicole myself."
Lockwood’s mother wanted to say something?
Nicole pulled Wendy Quinn, heading outside: "Let’s go quickly!"
Lockwood’s mother exclaimed: "Nicole, quickly let go, your step-mommy is carrying your brother, you can’t pull her like that."
Wendy Quinn laughed: "It’s okay, Mrs. Lockwood, we’re leaving now! Don’t worry! I’ll take good care of Nicole, and also my baby."
Inside the car, Wendy Quinn turned to the back seat and said to Nicole: "Come here."
Not knowing why, Nicole felt afraid of Wendy Quinn, not daring to refuse, her small body slowly approached.
Wendy Quinn extended her hand, slapped Nicole’s face, and cursed: "Little bitch, who told you to pull me? Almost made me fall, do you want to die?"
Nicole covered her slapped cheek, tears flowing from the pain.
Wendy let off steam, started the car, and drove out of the Lockwood family.
Three o’clock in the afternoon, Eastcliff Park.
Ivana Monroe and Ivy Linden arrived at two-thirty, waiting for about half an hour, they saw Wendy Quinn arriving late.
"Nicole."
Seeing Nicole, Ivy Linden rushed over.
"Mommy."
Nicole shouted, struggling to free herself from Wendy’s hand, running towards Ivy Linden.
"Little bitch."
Nicole struggled with surprising strength, causing Wendy’s hand to hurt, she cursed angrily.
Ivy Linden stretched out her arms, Nicole jumped into her embrace, crying "wah wah" in her arms.
Ivy Linden tightly hugged Nicole, crying along.
Ivana Monroe saw this scene, her eyes grew moist, she happily laughed, it was great that Nicole returned to Ivy’s side, she would take both Ivy and Nicole back home.
As for the lawsuit, she had it planned, as long as Nicole was with Ivy, it would be easier to fight, because the law considers the child’s wishes.
With Nicole on Samuel Lockwood’s side, he would definitely prevent Nicole from appearing in court, making the lawsuit unwinnable.
"Tsk, what’s there to cry about? Crying so loudly in the park, attracting onlookers, not embarrassed?" Wendy Quinn mocked.
"Nothing but nonsense." Ivana Monroe cursed.
"You... you cursed me?"
Wendy glared at Ivana Monroe with anger.
"What’s wrong with cursing you?"
"You wicked woman..."
Ivana Monroe raised her hand, Wendy Quinn shrank her neck in fear, not daring to continue cursing, Ivana Monroe this nasty woman was too ruthless, she hits people, and now being pregnant, Wendy was no match for her.
"Nicole, don’t cry, don’t cry..." Ivy Linden comforted Nicole, raising her hand to wipe Nicole’s tears, noticing the redness on Nicole’s tender face, as if she’d been hit: "Nicole, tell mommy, who hit you?"
Ivy Linden was furious.
"It was that bad woman."
Nicole turned and pointed at Wendy Quinn.
"Hey, you dead girl, why slander me? Don’t forget I brought you to your mommy’s side, the injury on your face, it’s obviously your grandmother who hit you, why aren’t you telling the truth? So young and already lying?"
Wendy Quinn tried to shift the blame onto Lockwood’s mother.
"Mommy, I’m not lying, look... Nicole’s arm, she pinched it too." Nicole rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair small arms, showing several bruises.
Upon seeing this, Ivy Linden felt heartbroken, like a blunt knife carving her flesh, the feeling was deeply against Wendy Quinn.
"Not just the arm, Nicole’s bottom was pinched terribly too, she even used a needle to stab Nicole’s bottom."
