Tim did not think that he was being nervous. After all, he was a soldier before, so he knew what it was
like to be followed.
He calmly parked the car at the airport and then got off. Only then did he buy a ticket and fly to a
nearby country.
The person following behind saw Tim board the plane. He immediately checked Tim's flight, and called
someone. Having confirmed that a project concerned with the Louis family was indeed going on there
and Tim had to sign a contract recently, that stalker felt relieved.
Tim flew directly to the nearby country, and he did not forget to contact Lucas through computer.
"Lucas, I have been followed the moment I left the Seapolis City. Do you know it?"
Hearing it, Lucas frowned slightly.
"Do you fly straight there?"
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
Just as Tim finished speaking, Lucas hurriedly nodded.
Lucas knew that Tim couldn't see it, so he ran wild.
As Lucas was in silence, Tim continued, "I'll go to the company to deal with business first, and sneak
out in the middle of the night. However, if the route you give me is wrong and misleading, I will not
spare you."
"It won't happen!"
Lucas and Tim talked something more before hanging up.
When Laurel came in, Lucas was playing a computer game. It seemed he was trying to advance to the
next round.
"You need to rest. You can't play computer games all the time."
Laurel stroked Lucas' head and said kindly.
"I'll take you to the hospital to see your mommy tomorrow. I think your mommy misses you. Zoe can't
go over now. You're the eldest son, so you should keep your mommy company."
Hearing it, Lucas whispered, "I'd better wait for another two days. Grandma, I haven't recovered from
my cold yet. I'm afraid I may infect Mommy. Or I can have a video chat with Mommy later."
"That's good. You are a smart child. Since you are afraid of infecting your mother, then do as you say."
Laurel smiled and walked out of Lucas' room.
After leaving the room, Laurel came to the flower bed.
This was her private territory, and very few people were allowed to enter. Laurel made painstaking
efforts to take care of all flowers here.
She picked up the sprinkler and watered the flowers, looking very pleased with herself.
Not long after, a figure quickly came in and respectfully called out when he saw Laurel. "Mrs. Green."
"There you are."
Laurel didn't turn around, but she knew who it was.
"Yes."
Finn hurriedly took the sprinkler in Laurel's hand.
Laurel let him sit on a rattan chair at the side and whispered, "Has Tim gone abroad?"
"Yes. I asked someone to follow him. However, Tim seemed to be very cautious and went directly to the
branch company owned by his family for business."
Laurel smiled, "He's a smart person. He probably has noticed our people. Ask some others to follow
Tim tonight. The original stalkers are not good enough."
"Yes! But Mrs. Green, why do you want to follow Tim? Does he know where Samuel is?"
"He doesn't know, but Lucas does."
Laurel looked at Finn in front of her and said meaningfully, "Lucas is the hope of our family. He is as
talented as Samuel when he was a child. Although Tim is young, he is very careful. He is able to use
computer technology to locate Samuel. Other than Samuel, no one else can do this. Since Lucas
doesn't want to tell me, I'll pretend that I don't know. But I'm Samuel's mother. Considering Nicole's
condition, I need to know what my son is doing outside and what has happened."
When Finn heard Laurel's explanation, he couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you ask Vincent to follow
Tim?"
"Vincent? Vincent has been busy lately, but I don't know what he has been doing. Besides, he has to
take care of many things of the Eternal Group, so there's no need to distract him because of this.
Although I ask you to work for Vincent and the Night Elf Empire now listens to Vincent's orders, you
should know who your master is."
"Yes!"
Finn was slightly startled, and then he understood.
Laurel continued, "I give Night Elf Empire to Nicole, so Nicole is your master. Although she temporarily
hasn't taken it over but Vincent does, do you think you can ignore Nicole's safety?"
Seeing that Laurel pulled a face, Finn was slightly frightened.
"Mrs. Green, Vincent has instructed us to do a lot of things lately. So, we are exhausted."
"You are exhausted? There are so many bodyguards in the Green's, and Vincent can dispatch them.
He doesn't need to ask the Night Elf Empire to do anything. Your most important task is to protect
Nicole. Your dignified owner has been held hostage in the streets, and nothing has been heard of her
for several days. If Tim hadn't found Nicole through some crooked ways, would you give me Nicole's
corpse now?"
Speaking of which, Laurel was a little angry.
As the dignified young madam of the Green family, Nicole had been kidnapped in the streets. The most
ridiculous thing was that the kidnapper remained unknown. This was an insult to the Night Elf Empire.
"For so many years, you have always considered yourselves superior, and have forgotten who you are.
Your owner is almost killed, and Samuel's whereabouts are still unknown. You are even in the mood to
listen to Vincent and care about other matters. Do you think I ask you to come back from the United
States for Eternal Group? You can't even compare with Lucas!"
"Besides, Swift is imprisoned in the Green's. There are so many guards, but they let her escape under
their noses. I don't know if those bodyguards are too incompetent or the Night Elf Empire is useless."
The more Laurel said, the angrier she became.
Finn didn't dare to reason.
He was in a difficult situation.
During this period of time, Vincent had been busy with buying a piece of land, but the residents there
did not want to move. They colluded with the local underworld forces to resist the Eternal Group.
Vincent asked the Night Elf Empire to deal with this matter. They could not refuse but to listen.
However, they did not expect that something would happen to Nicole and Samuel during this period.
Facing Laurel's accusation, Finn was unable to refute it.
Watching Finn's reaction, Laurel continued coldly, "The funniest thing is that after Swift escapes, the
Greens fail to find her. Swift sneaked into Nicole's ward in the middle of the night, and almost hurt
Nicole. Fortunately, Tim was there. If it weren't for him, you could hardly absolve yourselves from the
blame."
"Yes, it was our negligence. However, when I left, I remembered that I asked some members of the
Night Elf Empire to protect our owner."
"Really? Where are they? Why none of our people are there when Nicole is in trouble? Don't tell me
there's something wrong with the Night Elf Empire!"
It was a serious problem.
Finn immediately pulled a face.
"I will investigate it thoroughly."
"Follow Tim cautiously. I just want to know what the hell Samuel is up to. Everything is in a mess now,
but he has left the Seapolis City without leaving anything behind. Moreover, nobody is able to contact
him. Don't alert Tim. Help him when necessary. You'd better stay away from Lucas. Lucas is vigilant
and meticulous. If he finds out that I understand everything, I'm afraid he won't even believe me."
Laurel sighed.
Lucas was her most beloved grandson, but he preferred to believe Tim, an outsider, rather than her.
Even Lucas could tell that there was something wrong with the Green family. But Finn, who was the
leader of the Night Elf Empire, got no clue.
Laurel was disappointed.
"Go. Don't disappoint me again. Otherwise, I will think that there is no need to keep the Night Elf
Empire."
Finn looked a little awkward again.
He left quietly as how he came. Laurel stared at a rose, reluctant to look away for a long time.
It was a green rose, which Nicole had bought for her.
Laurel still remembered the filial expression on Nicole's face when she tried her best to find it.
Nicole was kind-hearted and simple. She shouldn't have suffered so much.
Laurel thought that everything went very smoothly in the Green family. But to her surprise, things went
against her wills.
Laurel remained her composure, and Nicole was very quiet.
After all, Olivia had limited energy. After staying up for a day and night, she finally couldn't help but fall
asleep, leaving behind a special nurse to be with Nicole.
Nicole's treatment over the past two days worked. Although she felt weak, she improved a lot and she
was not as drowsy or sluggish as before.
Perhaps she slept a little much during the day, so she didn't feel sleepy at night.
She missed Samuel.
She really missed him.
She didn't know what Samuel was doing.
She took out her cell phone and planned to call Samuel, but she was afraid that it was an inconvenient
time for Samuel to answer it.
Nicole had never felt it so hard to get through the night.
It was quiet outside. The night covered everything, but it made people feel lonelier. Loneliness slowly
overwhelmed Nicole, making her unable to withstand it.
Nicole called Samuel's Twitter account up and found that his profile had been changed into her picture.
'Why does he use my picture? Doesn't he feel embarrassed?'
Nicole flipped through Samuel's posts, finding that he was really boring.
He seldom posted anything, as if he registered Twitter so as to chat with her.
Nicole took a selfie and posted it on Twitter. She didn't know why she would do it. Then she wrote, "At
midnight, I dreamed of you. Are you thinking about me too?"
After this picture was posted, Nicole felt that she was a little pretentious. Why did she act like a
wronged housewife?
Just as she was about to delete it, she received a reply.
Nicole's heart missed a beat.
Could it be Samuel?
Hadn't he slept? Was he online?
