The Rules of Survival Chapter 28 Summary

Get Rid of Her

  • Nikki eventually comes home with a bruised face and a fractured forearm. She seems way too cheerful for someone who has just been beat up by an ex-boyfriend, like she claims.
  • Matthew decides to go to the police station with Aunt Bobbie the next morning and gives his statement, which clears Murdoch.
  • The good news is that the police do believe Matthew and Murdoch is able to take out a restraining order against Nikki. The bad news, though, is that the kids still live with Nikki, who now hates Matthew with a passion.
  • It all feels pretty hopeless to Matthew. Are they going to be stuck with their own hellish version of Mommy Dearest forever?
