"Did you say that all the VC executives had contacted you?"
Nicole's voice was somewhat strange.
"Yes, Nicole, what's wrong?"
Vincent was anxious earlier, so he didn't listen carefully. Now that at the sound of Nicole's voice, he
couldn't help but be startled.
"Nicole, Samuel asked me to turn against the Don family secretly before. But now how should I deal
with it? I have to figure it out. The Don family and our family have coexisted in the Seapolis City for so
many years. Could it be that Samuel really wants to annex the Don family? If not, should I stop?
Samuel needs to give me a clear indication. You know, our group can't afford to spend so much money
now. This is simply a strategy that will cause damage to both sides. I can't get in touch with Samuel
now. This is urgent. Nicole, please contact my brother and ask him to give me a call, okay?"
Vincent was quite anxious.
A great number of employees of the Eternal Group relied on Vincent. He and Samuel had arranged
that once Samuel gave an order, he would make a move. Now, the executives of the venture capital
companies were unable to withstand the pressure and turned to Vincent one after another. That was
why Vincent had no choice but to ask Samuel for a strategy.
However, Vincent couldn't get through to Samuel now.
When Nicole heard Vincent's explanation, her heart sank, and she whispered, "I will try. However, you
can't contact Samuel, so I guess I can't either. Make a prompt decision by yourself it you have to."
"I'd better listen to my brother first. Nicole, please."
Vincent hung up after he finished.
Nicole's expression changed completely.
Not knowing what was wrong with Nicole, Olivia asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Who called you?
Was it Vincent? Are you involved in the business of the Green family now?"
Nicole looked at Olivia and thought of what Olivia had just said.
'Samuel hasn't gone abroad!'
Nothing happened to the overseas branch!
So where was Samuel?
Why did he lie to her?
Samuel switched off his phone. Why did he refuse to answer anyone's call?
A series of questions flashed in Nicole's mind.
Since Nicole did not speak, Olivia became a little worried.
"Nicole, what are you thinking? What's wrong? Does something happen? Considering your current
state of health, you are not suitable for thinking too much. Apart from Samuel, don't worry about
anything else, okay?"
"What if I'm thinking about Samuel?"
As soon as Nicole finished, Olivia was astonished.
"What do you mean? Am I right that Samuel cheats on you?"
Olivia couldn't help but want to slap herself. Why did she bad-mouth Samuel just now?
"I'll call Samuel and ask him when he'll be back."
Then Olivia quickly called Samuel. Unfortunately, Samuel's phone was turned off.
Nicole's face sank when she heard the cold female voice on the phone.
Samuel said he wouldn't lie to her again!
Nicole forced herself to get through the kidnapping of Zoe, convincing herself that Samuel was doing it
for their own good. But what was his reason this time?
Samuel clearly knew that Nicole hadn't completely let go of Zoe's incident. But he lied to her once
again. Moreover, he disappeared and turned off his phone. What was he doing?
Nicole was extremely depressed. In addition to her poor health, she was even more irritated.
"There's no need to call Samuel. Just call someone else."
Olivia was confused.
"Who should I call?"
"Jacob!"
Olivia was shocked again.
"Jacob?"
"Yes."
Nicole looked at Olivia with sharp eyes.
Although she didn't know why Nicole insisted on calling Jacob, Olivia did as she was demanded.
Upon receiving Olivia's call, Jacob quickly came. At the sight of Nicole, he asked blankly, "Mrs. Green,
is there something wrong?"
"Where is Samuel now?"
Nicole asked straightforwardly.
Jacob was Samuel's special assistant, and Samuel would tell him everything. Now, no one knew more
about Samuel's whereabouts than Jacob.
"Mrs. Green, Mr. Green is on a business trip."
Olivia was a little annoyed by Jacob's innocence look. She kicked Jacob's shin and said angrily, "You're
still covering for Samuel. Nicole already knows. Hurry up and tell us where Samuel has gone."
Being kicked by Olivia, Jacob felt a little painful. Then he said wrongly, "I really don't know. Mr. Green
only told me to protect Mrs. Green. He didn't tell me his whereabouts this time. My task is to take
charge of the safety of Mrs. Green and her children. What's wrong?"
Nicole turned to look at Jacob suspiciously, but she didn't say anything.
Considering Jacob's behavior, Olivia couldn't help but excuse Jacob, "Nicole, maybe Jacob really
doesn't know. Gabrielle will come later. You can ask her. Maybe she knows."
"Yes, Mr. Green was with Blair before he left the country. I heard that they went to a club and then
came out together."
After Jacob finished speaking, he regretted it, because he saw the doubt on Nicole's face.
"Club? When did Samuel go to the club?"
Jacob hurriedly shut his mouth.
"Speak!"
Olivia felt that if Jacob took Samuel's side, he was offhand with her and Nicole.
"I don't know. Perhaps Mr. Green had a nasty brush with Mrs. Green, so he went out to give vent to his
feelings. But don't think too much about it, Mrs. Green. Mr. Green won't do anything else except drink
when he goes to the club."
Since Jacob had spilled the beans, he had no choice but to confess. But he still wanted to defend
Samuel.
Nicole somewhat felt angry.
"What's the name of the club?"
"Mrs. Green!"
"Speak!"
"I don't know."
Jacob wanted to continue hiding, but Nicole said coldly, "Do you believe that if you don't tell me, I will
stop you from being together with Olivia?"
Olivia couldn't believe what she heard.
Nicole seemed to be crazy. Olivia was not from the Green family. How could Nicole use Olivia to
threaten Jacob?
However, it was obvious that this threat was effective. Jacob hesitated.
"Mrs. Green, you can't do this."
"You can try. No matter what, I am still the young madam of the Green family. You are Samuel's special
assistant, aren't you? Besides, you know my relationship with Olivia. I don't believe that Olivia
considers you more important than me."
After it, Nicole turned to look at Olivia.
Under the circumstances, what could Olivia argue?
She coughed awkwardly and turned around.
Jacob was depressed.
"Mrs. Green, you're making things difficult for me."
"I just want to know which club Samuel went to, what he did there and where he is now!"
Jacob was put in an awkward situation.
Olivia said anxiously, "Don't you see that Nicole look unwell? She is very sick now, so she needs
Samuel to come back to keep her company now. Gabrielle will come again to put Nicole on a drip later.
Do you really have the heart to watch Nicole get anxious? If something happens, can you justify
yourself to Samuel?"
Hearing Olivia's representation, Jacob realized that Nicole did look terrible.
"Mrs. Green, Mr. Green definitely did not do anything wrong to you. He just went for a drink."
"Which club?"
Nicole insisted on asking.
Jacob had to tell her the truth.
"The Crown Club. Mr. Hawk went over to drink with Mr. Green and then they left together."
Hearing Jacob's explanation, Nicole asked after a brief pause, "Where did Samuel go after leaving?"
"I don't know. Maybe he stayed with Mr. Hawk. When I received Mr. Green's call, he told me that he
was at the airport and that he had to go abroad to deal with business. He asked me to take good care
of his family. I swear. That's all."
Jacob wished he could show them his heart.
Nicole handed the phone to Jacob, continuing, "Call the Crown Club and ask if Samuel is there."
"Mrs. Green, that's impossible."
"Do it!"
Nicole was a little crazy now.
She did not believe that Samuel would do anything wrong to her. She just wanted to know what Samuel
was up to.
'Why does he lie to me?'
Seeing that he had no choice but to take the call, Jacob turned on the speakerphone and called the
Crown Club in front of Nicole.
It was quickly connected.
"Hello, this is Crown Club."
"Hello, can I speak to Jeannie."
Jacob knew about Jeannie. After all, he knew everything about Samuel. Jeannie was specifically
responsible for keeping wine for Samuel. Jacob planned to find Samuel through Jeannie.
The other party paused for a moment and then said, "Jeannie has resigned."
"Resigned? When did it happen?"
Jacob was a little surprised. Jeannie was hired by Samuel, and she was well paid. There was no
reason for her to resign.
The one answered impatiently, "Yesterday. Well, she doesn't work for the Crown Club anymore. You
need to find her somewhere else."
After that, the other party hung up.
Nicole frowned slightly.
"Who is Jeannie?"
"She's a waiter who specializes in keeping wine for Mr. Green."
Jacob felt that he might have caused trouble.
What was wrong with him lately?
However, Nicole only whispered, "Do you know this woman?"
"Yes. There is absolutely no affair between her and Mr. Green. She is a college student from a poor
mountain area. Mr. Green thinks she is pitiful and asks her to keep the wine for him. But why did she
suddenly resign?"
"Coincidently, it happened yesterday!"
Nicole emphasized the time.
Jeannie resigned yesterday. Samuel claimed that he wanted to go abroad for business. Now both of
them had disappeared, and no one could contact Samuel.
What did this mean?
Nicole didn't want to think too much, but she couldn't help but do so.
Nicole had never had any dealings with Gabrielle, but this time, Samuel asked Gabrielle to come to the
Bush's to examine her body.
Gabrielle was the director of the Military Hospital!
...
How could such an eminent person condescend to be a family doctor?
Most importantly, Gabrielle was Blair's wife!
And Blair was Samuel's friend!
So, what was hidden from Nicole?
