Vincent did not dare to stay any longer and ran straight to the basement.
In the basement, Samuel was still entangled with Swift. Seeing Vincent rushing over, he was somewhat
puzzled.
"What's the matter?"
"Come out, I have something to say to you."
Vincent naturally wouldn't say anything in front of Swift, because this woman was simply too wicked. If
she knew anything and went to Nicole to provoke, then he and Samuel would truly be in trouble.
When Swift saw Vincent, she couldn't help but curse him.
"Vincent, you bastard! How much pain did my daughter suffer for you? She even brings you a son. But
what did you do to her? You just hide yourself! You've been hiding yourself like you have died for all
these five years. You leave your child and wife at the mercy of others' contempt under the rooftop of the
Greens. Are you a man? "
Swift's curses made Vincent change into an ugly expression.
"At the mercy of others' contempt under the rooftop of the Greens? You have the nerve to say that? If it
weren't for the fact that she had given birth to a child for the Green Family, would the George family's
business be able to continue for the past five years? Could you continue to be a lady in the upper
class? She had gotten a lot from the Green Family in the past five years. If you really want to know who
is wrong, then ask your good daughter if she really wanted to be my wife when she was with me. "
Vincent did not want to talk about the past, nor did he want to face Swift. It was like a mirror that
reflected everything about him, making him clearly realize how stupid and idiotic he was back then.
If it weren't for Nicole's unusual mood, he wouldn't have come in anyway.
Now that he was facing Swift, he even had a trace of hatred.
If it wasn't for this woman's instigation and her teaching since Riley was young, Riley would not have
done such a thing, much less embarked on this desperate path.
That a son lost his mother was the greatest pain.
But this woman was still boasting about something. It was simply unreasonable!
Vincent's questioning made Swift even angrier.
"No matter what, you married Riley. I am Riley's mother, and I am your mother-in-law! You just watched
your brother treat me like this? Aren't you afraid that Riley won't be able to rest well in the grave?"
"Even the living ones have great difficulty. Do I still care what the dead one think?"
Vincent turned around and left. Obviously, he didn't want to talk with Swift anymore.
"Vincent, come back! Come back! Riley had something to say to you before she died. Don't you want to
hear it?"
Swift's words made Vincent stop, but he did not turn around. He only said indifferently, "Since she was
dead, what's the use of the words? You should keep her last words for the rest of your life."
With that, Vincent walked out of the basement without stopping.
Swift was still cursing him, but Samuel had her mouth blocked.
"We'll have a talk when you've decided what you actually want to say to me."
After saying that, Samuel also turned around and left the basement.
Swift cried out, but unfortunately, no one paid her any attention.
Samuel followed Vincent out of the basement and asked, "What's wrong? Where's Nicole?"
Vincent looked at him and whispered, "Brother, didn't you read the text I sent you?"
"What text message?"
Samuel immediately felt for his pocket and realized that his phone was not with him.
He hurriedly went to the car and took out his mobile phone. When he saw the message, his expression
immediately changed.
"Nicole went in?"
"Yes."
Vincent's words made Samuel change into an even uglier expression.
He didn't know how much Nicole had heard and he became nervous.
Samuel wanted to go upstairs, but he heard Vincent say, "Nicole said that she was tired and
accompanied Lucas to sleep. She doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone."
Hearing this, Samuel immediately stopped.
He checked the time when the text message was sent and carefully recalled what he had said to Swift
during that time. He couldn't help but frown even more tightly.
"She went down to the basement. Why didn't anyone notify me?"
"They should have been stopped by Nicole. You know that Nicole is on the same position as you in the
Green Family."
Hearing Vincent's words, Samuel could say nothing.
He still went upstairs and gently opened the door of Lucas’ room, only to find that the door was locked
from inside.
Nicole was angry!
This was the first information that Samuel got.
He wanted to go in and explained it to Nicole, but it was not available.
Moreover, Nicole expressed her attitude very clearly She doesn't want to talk to him right now.
To have Nicole get a good sleep was something Samuel had been expecting. Now that Nicole was
asleep, he couldn't fall asleep anymore.
Samuel lingered at the door for a long time. Finally, he sighed and went downstairs. He came to the
living room and drank tea alone.
Seeing him like this, Vincent whispered, "Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't stop Nicole. I..."
"It has nothing to do with you. You can go rest. You've been tired all day."
"I'm fine. I came back from where Ryan was and got a lot of information. Ryan has been monitoring our
Family for the past few years. He contacted Zama before, so he knows a lot. However, he chooses to
keep it to himself now. I think I can get him to speak it out in a while."
Vincent and Samuel interrogated Swift and Ryan separately and did not allow them to stay together.
"I see. You've been working very hard."
Samuel has Nicole on his mind. He didn't listen to what Vincent said.
Vincent could see through his current state and whispered, "There is one more thing."
"What is it?"
"Tim wants to see Nicole. He said that he wanted to talk to her alone. I've already asked him to tell me
what he wanted to say to Nicole, but he didn't. He insisted talking to her alone. I didn't think Nicole was
suitable for talking with Tim now. So I didn't agree. But you know that Tim is stubborn. If he really wants
to Nicole, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop him."
Vincent's words made Samuel frown slightly.
"What does he want to do?"
"Who knows? Tim has no rules for doing things. It all depends on his mood. I'm just curious about what
he wants to talk to Nicole."
Vincent's question was also Samuel's question, but Samuel couldn't care much about it now.
"I'll handle it later. You can go rest first."
"Alright, brother, you should go to bed early as well. It's getting late. There are still many things left for
us to handle tomorrow. Do you want to continue the oppression on the Dons? I heard that your venture
capital companies were little unstable now."
When Vincent spoke of this, Samuel paused for a moment.
"Let's stop for a moment. We're seemingly going to continue the oppression, but in reality, we're
mitigating it."
"Got it."
After Vincent finished speaking, he went back to his room.
Now Samuel was the only one left in the living room. He suddenly felt extremely lonely.
In this large living room, he was the only one left. Even the lights were dim.
Samuel felt a little cold.
He put on his coat and involuntarily looked in the direction of Lucas’ room.
Nicole did not clamor, nor did she even ask him what was going on. And she didn't cry to see Zoe. This
kind of reaction really exceeded Samuel's expectations. But it made him extremely upset.
Nicole was being too quiet, so quiet that he felt uncertain and nervous.
Even if he had to negotiate a project worth hundreds of millions tomorrow, he would not feel so uneasy
like now.
He was already exhausted. His body urged him to rest, but his brain was unusually clear. He couldn't
sleep no matter what.
He didn't know what Nicole was thinking and whether she would listen to his explanation. But at this
moment, he really wanted to hold Nicole in his arms and talked to her properly.
Before, it wasn't that he didn't know how Nicole would react after she knew all this. He just thought that
he could handle it by himself. He thought that Nicole would understand him. But now he realized that all
of his own confident thoughts had collapsed at this moment, not even leaving a single bit.
It turned out that he wasn't as confident as he thought of himself!
Samuel was sitting alone in the living room like an ant on a hot pot. He was very anxious but he
couldn't disturb Nicole.
He knew that Nicole was really tired.
Today, from when she went to the Don's until they captured Swift in the south of the city, she was in
tension. Now that she had relaxed, it was not known how long she would sleep.
However, if Samuel did not see her, he could not calm down.
He had never known that he would lose his heart to Nicole so thoroughly, and so unreservedly.
While hiding this thing from Nicole, he also felt bad enough.
However, he didn't have the chance to say anything to Nicole, at least not now.
Time passed minute by minute, but to Samuel, it was like a year.
Turning off the lights, he thought that the night would bring him some comfort. Unfortunately, it only
made him feel lonely.
He had no choice but to get up and walked out alone.
Nicole slept soundly this time. Perhaps she knew that Zoe was safe and she didn't need to worry. Once
the tension was gone, she would be extremely tired.
But she did not sleep very well and was dreaming. In her dream, all sorts of people and matters
pestered her, making her feel as if she had fallen into a whirlpool where she was constantly struggling
but constantly being pulled in, repeatedly.
When Lucas woke up, he saw his mother close her eyes tightly and looked like she was in pain. He
was slightly stunned. He wanted to awaken Nicole, but he heard Nicole softly call out his name.
"Lucas, Lucas, run away!"
Nicole seemed to have dreamed of something terrible, and her entire body began to twist. Her calling
his name made Lucas suddenly feel a little heartache and moved.
"Mommy, I'm here."
Lucas stretched out his small hand and held onto Nicole's tightly. That soft feeling, coupled with Lucas’
cries, finally calmed Nicole down and she fell asleep again.
However, at this moment, Nicole's phone suddenly rang.
"Lucas, Lucas, run away!"
Nicole seemed to have dreamed of something terrible, and her entire body began to twist. Her calling
his name made Lucas suddenly feel a little heartache and moved.
“Mommy, I'm here."
Lucas stretched out his small hand and held onto Nicole's tightly. That soft feeling, coupled with Lucas’
cries, finally calmed Nicole down and she fell asleep again.
However, at this moment, Nicole's phone suddenly rang.
