Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

Chapter 1544 The Culprit Might Not Be Jeffrey

Dylan suddenly felt that all his efforts in the past years were meaningless.

When he had just married Molly, she treated him fairly well. Although she had no feelings for him, she

would do her duty as a wife with all her heart. But what had his kindred done for him?

It was said that one could see through a person only after going through something. But Dylan did not

see through his kindred when the Bells experienced a change years ago. Now it seemed too late for

him to thoroughly know his kindred.

Dylan suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly. It looked a bit pathetic.

Seeing her son so depressed, Cierra shouted angrily at the kindred.

"Shut up! Without Dylan, you would have starved to death years ago. You required Molly to earn money

for you, and you didn't want to see Michele doing nothing at home, so you suggested sending her to

Samuel to earn money. And now, you ungrateful people just watch my son encounter the misfortune.

Have you no conscience?"

Cierra's questioning made the kindred hurriedly lower their heads, afraid that her words would implicate

them.

Nicole considered it a boring farce that contained the vicissitudes of life. She felt impatient.

"Alright, that's it. Do you want to sign it? We don't have much time to waste."

Nicole sounded much colder for she was anxious about no tidings of where Tim was taken to and what

Evelyn was doing.

Dylan stopped Cierra when she was about to say something, "Mom, let it be. I've lost my pride and

come to an unknown me these years. I've decided. From now on, you and Dad take care of yourselves

when I'm not around. Now the Bell family has declined, so leave those ungrateful people to

themselves. Mom, if there is an afterlife, I will serve you as my parents again."

"No, son, don't leave me."

Cierra cried in extreme sadness. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Mom, I'm a treasure to you. So is Molly to her family. I've brought to Molly much hurt these years.

Shouldn't I pay the price?" Dylan smiled calmly, "I'm an adult now. I should have known my fate when I

tortured Molly. I have no right to complain."

Upon hearing that, Cierra fell silent.

Surely she understood Molly's resentment as Cierra was a woman too. But at that time, things caused

by Molly happened to Dylan, making him miserable. So Cierra hadn't stopped her son's deeds. If

putting her affection aside, she, as a female, knew that Molly was in agony.

"I can sign it and bear any consequences, even death. But you need to arrange my parents' life

properly," Dylan turned to Nicole and Samuel as Cierra kept silent, "My father is paralyzed in bed by

the brain infarct. They need money. I don't care about the rest of my kindred, but my parents must live

comfortably. The Hawk family owes us!" Dylan continued, "Since you want to avenge Molly and ask me

to pay, this is my condition. Otherwise, I will fight to the death for justice. Although you are so powerful

to do anything freely, I can still have a way out. Don't you think so?"

The rest of the Bell family felt furious when hearing what Dylan said.

"Dylan, what do you mean? We are all Bells."

"These years I have done enough for you. It's not you who earned money even before you were

involved in that misfortune eight years ago. You are always our vassals. I don't need to feel guilty when

I discard you." Dylan answered, "Our Bell family will also decline even without the bad luck of eight

years ago. You will remain the same when I discard you. But you will realize who you really are."

Dylan was in despair.

He dared not to rely on these kindred to take care of his parents in the future as these relatives showed

no gratitude. The best for his parents was to cut off their relationship with these people.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of Molly.

Although he treated Molly badly, she had always been there to nurse his paralyzed father. She

sacrificed her sleep hour to take good care of his father as the duty of daughter-in-law. But what had

his relatives done for his father?

Each of them hid farther away and even disdained his paralyzed father. How could he torture his wife

for these ungrateful and indifferent relatives?

Even he was unsympathetic, he could have a happy life once he treated Molly and Michele well. After

all, Molly was his wife.

It was so late for Dylan to realize that.

He quickly turned to sign the divorce agreement.

Nicole felt Dylan's regret, so did Samuel. But it was indeed too late as the harm had been done. No

one could take the road back. Even if Dylan felt sorry and apologized, it could not make up for the

trauma in Molly and Michele's hearts.

Therefore, it was unnecessary to felt pity for Dylan.

Cierra fainted under grief after Dylan signed the divorce agreement. Samuel ordered to kick out the rest

of Dylan's relatives as they wanted to make troubles.

Dylan didn't say a word. When his kindred asked him to die, Dylan had been apathetic.

When those people were out of the room, Nicole noticed Dylan's father in the corner.

Because of the impoverishment, Dylan's father was simply sitting on the ground. Previously, he was

covered by the crowd. Now, he looked a little embarrassed.

He wanted to say something but couldn't say it clearly with his saliva wetting his collar. But his gaze

implied that he was reluctant to part with Dylan.

Dylan also felt a little heartbroken.

He turned to pay his gratitude to his father before saying, "Dad, I'm so sorry. I can't stay with you

anymore. Take care."

Dylan's father moaned.

The more anxious he was, the more speechless he became.

Dylan hurried to say, "Dad, I know what you want to say. You spent so much effort nurturing me as your

successor. But I failed your expectation and ruined the Bell family. I'll take revenge on those who set us

up. Dad, I've known it for years that you don't approve of what I've done. Now that everything is over, I'll

take my responsibility."

Tears rolled down from Dylan's father's eyes, but he said nothing to stop Dylan.

It was fair to say that Dylan's parents were the best of the Bell family.

Nicole tugged Samuel's sleeve and whispered, "Does Dylan have no choice but to die?"

"It looks like that."

Samuel knew Morty. To Morty, Dylan's attitude towards Molly and her daughter had already determined

his ending.

Nicole sighed, "Even if he is destined to die, don't let it happen here. At least keep it from his parents."

"OK."

Samuel had always satisfied Nicole's request.

After Dylan settled everything, he turned to whisper to Samuel, "Let's go."

Apparently, he didn't want to die before his parents too.

Samuel ordered two men to stay and took Dylan with other people to leave.

After all, Steven had a special identity. If anyone knew his name was used to do something bad, he

could be in trouble as his hostile brothers were watching.

Dylan thought that Samuel would kill him at a deserted place. But unexpectedly, Dylan was brought to

the alley behind the house where Tim was previously locked up. So he was stunned for a moment.

"What are you doing here?"

"Let me ask you something. If you do well, I might give you a chance to survive."

Samuel said indifferently.

No one else except Nicole heard their conversation as Steven's men were outside.

Dylan was a little surprised.

"You won't kill me?"

"That depends on what you will say and whether it's valuable enough to save your life."

Samuel's words were ambiguous, but Dylan saw a glimmer of hope.

"Are you serious?"

Nicole felt surprised about Dylan's answer, but it was within Samuel's expectation.

Since Dylan was able to take over the Bell family at a young age, he had known some rules. Although

he said nothing, he might have guessed other things after knowing some truth.

Samuel nodded.

"It looks like you've noticed that something got wrong."

"Yes."

Dylan had been tortured and blinded by hatred in the past. He blamed Molly for ruining his pride as a

man and asked her to pay. But now that he had restored his sobriety, he realized that the Bell family

was exploited and he was manipulated.

Dylan might know who the culprit behind this incident was. Therefore, he told his father that he would

take revenge on this person.

Now Samuel's words made him understand that he could only rely on Samuel to find the culprit. So

Dylan had been persuaded.

Nicole was a little confused at first, but from the situation between the two, she understood after

thinking for a while.

"Are you suggesting that the culprit might not be Jeffrey?"

"Yes."

Both Dylan and Samuel confirmed at the same time.

"If I guess right, Dylan married Molly just for some reason about the misfortune that the Bell family had

encountered that year."

Dylan was stunned at Samuel's words and felt a bit awkward. Actually, he married Molly for his

affection towards her. It was also an anecdote within their circle. Now what Samuel said got Dylan to

know the difference between the two.

"You're right, I was obliged to marry Molly."

Nicole was shocked at Dylan's words.
