Chapter 1091 Nicole Did Something Behind Viola

It would be impossible for Nicole to shake off Viola's ruthless gaze. To be exact, Nicole had also been
paying attention to Viola the moment she entered the room.

Viola was colder than before and also crueler, which was hard to be disguised.

Nicole looked at Viola with a faint smile and said, "Why are you looking at me like you were going to eat
me? What did I do wrong?"

Edwin frowned.

"What are you doing? Why are you staring at Nicole? It was me who had punished you. What? Did I
get you wrong? You have a problem with me?"

Edwin said in such a harsh tone that Viola was immediately weakened, "No, Grandfather, how can I
have a problem with you?"

"Stop being a wolf in a sheep’s clothing. If you weren't Audrey's daughter, I wouldn't care about you at
all. You father didn't teach you well. How can you fit yourself in the society if you don't change your
behaviors now?"

When Edwin thought of Dominic, he was furious.

Viola didn't dare to say anything. She lowered her head quickly, making it impossible for others to see
her expression. No one knew what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Nicole only smiled slightly and said, "Grandfather, don't be angry. She still needs time.
After all, she is my sister and one of the Shaws. She represents our family’s image, right?"

Hearing this, Viola quickly raised her head and glanced at Nicole with anger and coldness.



Nicole was clearly prompting Edwin to punish her, and she wasn’t trying to conceal her intention at all.

Nicole didn't care about whether Viola hated her or not. Why would they pretend to be sisters with so
many contradictions between them?

She sneered and said to Edwin, "Grandfather, I have something I want to tell you. Shall we go to the
study?"

Viola frowned again.

What did Nicole want to say to Edwin?

She even wanted to say it behind her back!

Was she thinking about urging Edwin to punish her again?

Viola felt that everything Edwin had done was a result of Nicole’s temptation, so she hated Nicole even
more.

One day, she would make Nicole kneel in front of her and beg her!

Nicole didn't care what Viola was thinking. She looked at Edwin with anticipation.

Edwin certainly wouldn’t reject Nicole. He quickly put down the newspaper and smiled, "Alright, let's go
to the study."

"Grandfather, take your time."

Nicole stood up and helped Edwin to his feet.

Edwin laughed and said, "I am indeed an old man, my dear Nicole, take care of me more!"



"You are not old at all. You become more vigorous with age."

Nicole was good at flattering Edwin.

Viola was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth when she saw how happy they were.

Nicole did not have the mood to argue with Viola now. She helped Edwin into the study and locked the
door.

As Nicole acted so cautiously, Edwin's eyes darkened a little.

Viola’s presence really made things worse.

"Are you keeping an eye on her?"

"Sort of."

Nicole did not deny.

She helped Edwin to a chair and sat down. Then, she looked at Edwin seriously and asked,
"Grandfather, do you remember what you gave Grandmother as the betrothal gift?"

Edwin stunned.

His eyes became a little blurry.

That old woman!

It seems to be a long time ago.

Seeing that Edwin had fallen into his memories, Nicole did not urge him. Instead, she walked to the
side and took out a tea set to start making tea for him.



Edwin's tried to memorize for a long time, and he finally remembered what his wife looked like at the
first sight.

At that time, she wore a shabby red cotton jacket. She was defined as a reactionary person due to her
family, so she did not dare to look up at people when she walked.

How did he get to know her?

Oh, right. It was because someone was pulling at her clothes while criticizing her, so fiercely that her
clothes were ripped up to shreds. At that time, as he was close to her, he was sympathized to the poor
woman, so he involuntarily took off his coat and wrapped it around her.

At that time, she looked at him with a flash of gratefulness. Because his family enjoyed great power,
Edwin was not punished for this action. Instead, she endured all the punishment for him.

At that time, people could not tell right from wrong. For outsiders, Edwin's kindness was the result of
her deliberate seduction, so she was criticized even more.

Edwin felt sorry for her, so he would occasionally help her, but he never thought that they would get
closer.

After the Great Revolution ended, everything returned to normal, and her family regained reputation.
They became together naturally because of similar family background.

Edwin still remembered that at that time, they led a happy life, with him dealing with his career and her
taking care of the family.

When he was about to go to the battlefield, she cried so sadly, yet she did not stop him from going and
silently born everything by herself.



She helped him fulfill his responsibility to take care of his parents when they were about to pass away.
His old mother was paralyzed in bed. As he enjoyed sufficient records of standing up to bullies, he was
sent to carry out missions everywhere. It was she who took care of his mother day and night. She was
not afraid of neither hardship nor tiredness, and she never complained in front of him.

Why did they, who were supposed to be together forever, split up?

Because Martha was born, which meant Edwin was cheated.

Thinking back to this now, Martha did not refute him at that time. She only said that she had failed him,
agreed to the divorce, and took Martha away.

Later, when he found out that Martha's biological father was a terrorist, Edwin had regretted it.

How could such a gentle and virtuous woman cheat on him? Even if she was raped, she would still sue
the offender to protect her own interests and his dignity, right?

But she didn't.

At that time, he thought that she had endured enough loneliness, so she cheated on her. Now, it didn't
seem like that was the case.

Perhaps there was something hidden in this.

However, she had already passed away. Even though he was now filled with guilt and longing, there
was no chance of seeing her again.

Edwin felt so guilty.

Seeing that his mood had changed, Nicole poured him a cup of tea and whispered, "Grandfather, I'm
not asking you this to make you sad."



"I know, but now that I look back on my life, I realize that the person I'm sorry for the most in my life is
your grandmother. She accompanied with me when I was poorest and most miserable, but she left me
when I made fortune. She led a poor and disgraceful life in the rest of her life, and now that I think
about it, maybe she has something to hide, and I'm not a good husband."

Edwin's eyes filled with tears.

"I wasn't by her side when she gave birth, and I was helpless when my eldest daughter was kidnapped.
When my eldest daughter was taken away and disappeared, I did not help her. I didn't participate much
in your grandmother's life. Now that I think about it, all the glory in my life was obtained because of your
grandmother's silent support, but I made her left. Is a man's self-esteem really that important? Now that
I'm old, I know that nothing is better than having a wife by my side. Unfortunately, I didn't understand
this when I was young. "

Edwin chocked with sob.

"Grandpa, grandmother has already gone. There's no point in saying this now. I just want to know what
betrothal gift was. Do you still remember?" Nicole said apologetically when she saw that she had
reminded Edwin of his sad past.

"How can I forget? It's a pocket watch. I was given by the Military Region for my contribution, and the
ID number and my name were engraved on it. At that time, I said that this military medal was half of
your grandmother's credit, so I gave that watch to your grandmother as a betrothal gift. She also
agreed to my proposal in a shy and timid manner. At that time, we weren't as romantic as the young
men these days."

Edwin couldn't help but laugh when he recalled this.

Nicole took out the pocket watch from out and handed it to Edwin.



"Grandfather, take a look. Is this the pocket watch?"

Edwin suddenly stunned, and then he became excited.

He took the pocket watch and flipped it through the back. He could still clearly see his name, but they
were somewhat smoothed out. It was obviously responsible for usual rubbing.

Edwin was filled with tears.

"Why is this pocket watch with you? When she left me, she didn't take anything except this pocket
watch. I..."

He choked again.

Nicole was very sad.

She walked up and hugged Edwin. She whispered, "Grandfather, Grandmother has always had you in
her heart. I heard that until the moment she died, she still held this pocket watch in her hand."

"She is really too stubborn. Even if she had expressed a bit regret, I wouldn't let her go."

Edwin said with regret.

Nicole didn't know how to comfort him, she could only say, "Grandfather, I took this pocket watch from
someone. She asked me to give it to you."

"Who?"

Edwin was still unable to recover when he heard Nicole say, "Sally."

Edwin raised his head when he heard the name.



"Who?"

"Sally, she said that she's your eldest daughter and my mother's twin sister. I've seen her before. She
looks exactly like my mother, and the DNA test proved that."

Edwin stunned.

His eyes flashed with disbelief, surprise, and then ecstasy.

He grabbed Nicole's hand and trembled slightly.

"Where is she? Why didn't she come back? Since she knew that she was one of the Shaws, why didn't
she come back to see me? How many years do I still have to live?"

Edwin's reaction was within Nicole's expectations. This was also the reason why Nicole had waited so
long and was sure that Sally would not be harmful to Edwin before she dared to tell him.

However, seeing Edwin like this, and given Sally's identity, Nicole hesitated.

Was it really okay to tell him the truth?

"Who?"

"Sally, she said that she's your eldest daughter and my mother's twin sister. I've seen her before. She
looks exactly like my mother, and the DNA test proved that."

Edwin stunned.
His eyes flashed with disbelief, surprise, and then ecstasy.
He grabbed Nicole's hand and trembled slightly.

"Where is she? Why didn't she come back? Since she knew that she was one of the Shaws, why didn't
she come back to see me? How many years do | still have to live?"

Edwin's reaction was within Nicole's expectations. This was also the reason why Nicole had waited so
long and was sure that Sally would not be harmful to Edwin before she dared to tell him.

However, seeing Edwin like this, and given Sally's identity, Nicole hesitated.
