Mrs. Don looked at the cup of water with confusion and asked, "What is this?"
"Grandma, don't be afraid. I won't harm you. This drug will only temporarily weaken your body. It won't
damage your health, but just make you weak. The doctor will tell uncle that you are too weak to go on a
long journey, so uncle will give up his plan to send you away. Then we will be fine."
Viola stared at Mrs. Don with her bright eyes, but Mrs. Don hesitated.
After all, this was very risky.
"Viola, is it safe?"
"Grandma, will I harm you? You're so nice to me. Because of me, you even offended the Greens and
broke up with Nicole. I will never forget your kindness to me. You're old now, but uncle still decides to
send you to the Capital City. He said that he would send people to take care of you, but who knows if
he is going to send you to a nursing home? I've heard that such place is just like a jail cell. You'll be
watched every day and can't go anywhere. Moreover, you'll feel lonely without your children by your
side. Your husband and sons are martyrs, so how can you end up like this? I feel pity for you."
Viola's eyes turned red as she spoke, as if she was truly sad.
Mrs. Don was still hesitating, but she was frightened by the miserable later life that Viola had described.
Nobody in the Don family lived in the Capital City now, so where would Jason send her to? Was he
really going to send her to a nursing home just as Viola had said?
Mrs. Don trembled.
"I'm not going! I'm not going to a nursing home! My kin are martyrs, so why should I live in a nursing
home?"
"That's right. Grandma, your husband and sons have all died for the country. How can uncle send you
to a nursing home so far away just to please Nicole? I heard that many nurses and directors of nursing
homes are vicious. If you live there, you can't get help if anything happens to you."
The more Viola said, the more terrifying Mrs. Don felt.
As people got old, they were unwilling to leave their families, let alone go to a nursing home.
She looked at Viola and took the cup from Viola's hand. As she was drinking, she missed the evil smile
on Viola's face.
After the drink, she felt dizzy and drowsy.
"Viola, this drug is a little strong. I'm a little dizzy."
"It's fine. Grandma, just have a sleep. I'm here to watch over you."
Viola's voice was sweet. Mrs. Don believed her and slowly closed her eyes.
Nicole naturally didn't know what was going on in the Don's. She had been angry for a long while
before she realized that there was no need to be angry.
The Dons had long denied her as a Don, so why should she be upset by her bloodline?
In fact, the thing bothering Nicole was that Viola kept stirring up trouble.
Right now, Nicole was still a trending topic online. The public relations department of the Green Group
had been trying to solve it, but in vain. This only meant that someone must have hired paid posters just
to slander Nicole.
Nicole couldn't find Ryan and Swift now. Ever since that phone call, Swift seemed to have disappeared
from the world, so Nicole felt somewhat uneasy.
Swift was like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. Nobody knew when she would suddenly come out
and bite people.
Nicole felt that her priority was to find Swift or Ryan. As for Mrs. Don and Viola, she decided to let them
go temporarily.
She sat down in front of the computer and checked the accounts of those paid posters, hoping to find
some clues.
The comments of those paid posters were so rude, so Nicole tried her best to stop herself from arguing
back.
As time passed, she got tired for having been staring at the computer for a long time.
Samuel hadn't come back. Petty asked Nicole to have dinner first and told her that Samuel was busy
and would not come back for dinner.
Nicole didn't care. After dinner, she continued to search for clues until she couldn't hold on any longer.
After that, she took a shower and went to bed.
When Samuel returned, it was already late at night.
He gently opened the bedroom door, and his eyes were full of love when he gazed at Nicole, who was
sleeping soundly under the light.
Fighting against the Don family was uphill work for him.
For one thing, it wasn't easy to transfer all the money from the venture capital company. For another,
he also had to support the Eternal Group.
If Mrs. Don hadn't hurt Nicole this time, Samuel wouldn't have risked everything. However, he felt it was
worth it as he saw Nicole's sleeping face.
He looked at the computer and was disgusted by those rude remarks online.
He called Jacob and said, "Are the public relations officers all a waste of space? It's been a few days,
but why does Nicole remain a trending topic?"
"Mr. Green, someone is controlling it. Our employees have done everything they can. We tried to clarify
that these photos were composite, but some people just don't buy it and even tarnish Ms. Nicole. It is
quite tricky now."
Jacob was very helpless.
This was just a joke. As soon as other new news came out, people would forget it. Besides, the Greens
had already clarified that those photos were synthesized just in order to slander Nicole. Logically
speaking, this explanation could smooth things over. However, it became worse because some paid
posters said that the Greens threw weight around and threatened the news media. As a result, Nicole's
news was still a hot topic.
After all, there were people discussing about it every day, so it was hard to taking people's attention
away from Nicole.
It was obvious that someone was intentionally targeting Nicole.
Jacob's answer irritated Samuel.
"Ask the public relations department to come up with a plan as soon as possible. I just want it to be
solved, no matter by hook or by crook."
"Alright, I'll try my best."
This problem really upset Jacob.
After hanging up the phone, Samuel turned off the computer.
He took a shower, while Nicole was still asleep. Obviously, she didn't know that Samuel had returned.
It indicated that she really trusted Samuel, which gave Samuel a feeling of warmth and sweetness.
After he went to bed, Nicole subconsciously moved over and slept soundly in his arms.
Nicole may not know how attractive she was now.
Her face was crimson and her breathing was even. Samuel felt elated to have her trust, as if he owned
the whole world now.
For her, he was willing to be the enemy of the entire world.
He hugged Nicole tightly and wanted to do something to her, but he didn't bear to disturb her sleep.
Thus, he gave up and restrained his desire.
It was a hard night. When the morning sun shone in, Samuel was still asleep, while Nicole was awake
already.
Though sleepy, she still noticed that she was in someone's arms. She knew who it was since she had
felt his body and smelt his smell. She smiled happily.
She didn't know how happy and satisfied she looked at this moment.
She gently touched Samuel's face and discovered that he was becoming more and more manly.
She got up quietly not to disturb Samuel. She did not know when he came back last night, and now she
was going to make breakfast for him.
She walked out of the bedroom and found that Petty and Zac had already gotten up to tend the garden.
They were talking about what had happened yesterday. They never expected Nicole to get up so early.
"Zac, do you think Mr. Green has a chance of winning against the Don family?"
Petty asked as she loosened the soil.
They didn't see Nicole for standing with their backs to Nicole. Nicole heard what Petty said and was
somewhat surprised.
'Samuel fights against the Don family?'
'What does it mean?'
Zac sighed, "Indeed, the Green family owns a large business. But the bigger a company is, the less
cash it will have, which will even affect a lot of ongoing projects. I think it's difficult for the Green family
to win against the Don family. Perhaps both will suffer losses."
"What? Then didn't our good intentions bring about a bad result? I thought it was good to tell Mr. Green
that Ms. Nicole had been bullied, but now Mr. Green risked everything to destroy the Don family. I
heard that the Don's shares fell to the limit last night and many businesses were affected. So I thought
Mr. Green had won."
Petty said guiltily.
Zac whispered, "It's not as simple as we thought. I heard that since Mrs. Don had caused trouble for
Ms. Nicole, Mr. Green decided to risk his venture capital companies to destroy the Don family. He
wants Mrs. Don to apologize to Ms. Nicole. This time, he really gets angry."
"It's more than that. I heard that Mrs. Don had called Mrs. Green but only got laughed at. Mrs. Green
said that since the Dons didn't want Nicole, Mrs. Don shouldn't come to Nicole as her grandmother.
Mrs. Green also said that the Green family would sacrifice everything to protect Nicole. I have to say
that Mrs. Green and Mr. Green are really awesome."
Petty's words astounded Nicole.
She didn't know that such an earth-shaking change had occurred because of her.
'Should I plead for the Dons?'
'No!'
She did not think that Samuel was wrong. Instead, she was grateful to him and loved him more.
Since Samuel and his mother were so nice to her, how would she plead for Mrs. Don?
Nicole suddenly felt that the sky was so blue and the air was so fresh. Her unhappiness yesterday
seemed to disappear all of a sudden. Even though she was still plagued by scandals, she was no
longer afraid.
With such a husband and mother-in-law protecting her, what was she afraid of?
Just as she turned around to make breakfast for Samuel, her phone suddenly rang.
