"I heard about what had happened. It is a trap. It is hard to tell whether it was an accident when a
person fell off from such a high elevator. You should not go. Also, you should check if that worker is
contractual. If yes, he should be covered by accident insurance. Contact the insurance company
immediately. I will go to the construction site on behalf of you."
It was Jason.
Nicole felt touched at his words.
"Uncle Jason, I know you are trying to help me, but I have to face it by myself. Neither you nor
grandfather should step in. I believe that it is a trap set up by Uncle Elvis and the other man, and it is all
about the Green family. If both Samuel and I fail, you can step in by then. But now it is not the time. I do
not want to get you in trouble. I am afraid that if you step in too early, there will be no one to help us
later."
Nicole's words surprised Jason.
Although what Nicole said was reasonable, he still feel uneasy if Nicole went to the site by herself.
"I will go with you. I don't think they could so powerful that they can get the Don family involved."
"They are not influential, but could get Samuel detained. And they are able to keep you and grandpa
away from this matter. All this has said much about them. Uncle Jason, I will watch out. Do not worry
about me."
Nicole's words depressed Jason somewhat.
"But you are pregnant..."
"It is destiny as for whether the baby could come to us or not. It would be the best if he could make it; if
not, we could do nothing about it. Now that our company is in trouble, I cannot just wait at home for
other people to rescue my husband and save the company. It is not my style. I understand that I am not
good at running business as a designer. But it is a matter of attitude if I choose to get away from the
challenges. I will be careful, Uncle Jason. Just go back home."
Nicole smiled at Jason. It was a firm and stubborn smile.
Jason's heart ached, but he could not insist anymore.
"Alright. If you need anything, call me. Remember that the Don family is behind you. We will never
leave you alone under any circumstance."
"I will keep that in mind."
Nicole smiled again and got into Zac's car.
When the car started, Nicole took out her phone and called the construction company.
"Did the worker that was dead have accident insurance?"
The company manager was stunned and then answered, "No, he is a temporary worker and had only
been here for a few days. Mrs. Green, I am so sorry. We did not check everything carefully. We..."
"Do not say it. You are not expecting this to happen either. Besides, we still have no clue what
happened exactly. What the situation is now there?"
Nicole raised the question quickly.
The manager hurriedly replied, "The media is everywhere. The dead worker's families are protesting
here, and we do not dare to go forward and chase them away. It is a deadlock now. I also feel that
someone raised the conflict deliberately. All the other workers are so annoyed that we are afraid that
there will be a riot. Mrs. Green, maybe you should send someone else over instead of coming by
yourself.'
Nicole had thought of such a situation, but she did not expect it to be so serious as this.
She took a deep breath, "I have to show up. Nobody else could take care of it. I will be there soon. You
do not need to be too anxious. Just leave it to me."
After saying that, Nicole hung up the phone.
"Zac, do you have any information about the deceased worker?"
"Yes."
Zac hurriedly passed the worker's information to Nicole.
Nicole cannot believe what she saw and was stunned.
It was Jamar, who she met before in the arcade!
She still remembered that Jamar declared himself as Gerry's subordinate. When they went back to the
arcade later, it was already closed. Together, Jamar disappeared. Why did he show up now? Why was
he dead in the Green family's construction site?
Nicole would never believe that it had nothing to do with Gerry and Under Elvis.
Seeing Nicole's expression was depressed, Zac asked immediately, "Mrs. Green, what's wrong? Is
there something abnormal?"
"Yes. It is a very serious problem."
Nicole looked through the information from beginning to end. Jamar did not have a stable job and he
had no place to live at. But he was married and had two children. Now that he had died in the
construction site, it was not hard to guess that Gerry's man was the one who instructed Jamar's wife to
protest.
She was so nervous and rubbed her temples. They arrived at the construction company.
"Mrs. Green, we arrived."
From afar, there were so many people. From reporters to the workers, or the security guards of the
Green family, they were crowded together.
Nicole frowned slightly. She opened the car door and got off. Zac followed her closely.
"Mrs. Green, it is too dangerous here. Should I call Petty to come back?"
Zac suggested.
Nicole shook her head, "There is no need. Petty is looking after the children. I do not want Joseph and
Zoe to know about the situation we are facing now."
She sighed and walked towards the crowd.
Someone noticed Nicole at first glance and shouted, "Everyone, stop arguing. Mrs. Green is here. Let
us listen to what she is going to say."
"What else could she say? The worker died at her company's construction site. Where were they in the
first place? She only comes here because it raises the public's attention."
Another person quickly retorted.
Nicole's eyes swept over, but there were too many people to tell who said it.
The media came over to Nicole when they saw her.
"Mrs. Green, where is Mr. Green when this severe accident happened? Why are they sending you here
to handle this matter? Is it true as what the rumor claimed that Mr. Green is not going to take care of
it?"
Hearing the reporter's bitter questions, Nicole gradually understood the situation.
Uncle Elvis was trying to let everyone know that Samuel is in the detention center.
The news had been suppressed and she was forcing Uncle Elvis to release Samuel. When this
accident happened and Samuel did not show up in the first place, many people were concerned. If
anyone saw that Samuel was released from the detention center, it would be impossible to hide the fact
that Samuel caused a person's death.
If that happens, even if Uncle Elvis withdraws his lawsuit, the news media and the public would
continue to find out the reason Samuel was in the detention center. At that time, if someone told the
fact deliberately, Samuel's reputation would be destroyed.
Uncle Elvis was good at this!
Even if it was a difficult situation, he still designed all these traps for her and the Green family!
She was thinking before about why Uncle Elvis designed this accident at the construction site. After all,
this matter could be negotiated. As long as the Green family's attitude was sincere, everything could be
settled. Now she understood what was waiting for her here.
Nicole frowned.
She whispered to Zac, "Call Ernesto and tell him not to wait outside the detention center. Do not do
anything when Samuel comes out. Also, tell Ernesto to pay attention to the media around the detention
center. Do not get Samuel exposed."
"Mrs. Green, if I leave now, these people will hurt you."
Zac said worriedly.
Nicole shook her head and said, "I have my ideas. Hurry up and go! No matter what, do not expose
Samuel."
"This..."
Zac was still hesitant. But he understood that if Samuel is exposed, not only would his reputation be
damaged but also the entire Green family's stock would go down significantly. Also, many cooperation
projects would be suspended.
Thinking of the consequences, Zac hurriedly pushed the crowd aside and called Ernesto.
The reporter saw Zac and Nicole talking. Although they did not hear what Nicole said to Zac, they could
tell that Zac was talking on the phone. Immediately, their questions became sharper.
"Mrs. Green, did we make a right guess, so you told the people from the Green family to inform Mr.
Green?"
"I don't know where you heard this news from. However, my husband, Samuel, has been able to keep
his business in the Seapolis City for all these years. I believe you have enough evidence to tell if he is a
person that would run away from the problems. Unfortunately, my husband went on a business trip not
long ago. I am pregnant and am experiencing some symptoms recently. Therefore, I did not pay much
attention to the outside world. When the accident happened, the executive leaders did not want to
affect my mood, so they did not inform me at first. Samuel was unable to rush back either. That was
why this matter was not resolved immediately when it happened. Here, I want to apologize to Mr.
Hunt's family and Mr. Hunt himself on behalf of the Green Family."
Nicole bowed in Jamar's direction.
People's anger was relieved a little by Nicole's attitude. They moved aside.
Only then did Nicole see that Jamar's body was still on the site.
Jamar's face was unidentifiable because he fell from the elevator. There were a woman and two
children kneeling beside him, crying out of breath.
Nicole was also a mother. She knew what a woman would feel when something terrible happened. She
walked over to them.
"Mrs. Hunt, I am sorry for your loss. We will do whatever we could to make it up for your families. Just
let us know. We will do our best."
Nicole was very sincere. However, Jamar's wife suddenly raised her head and fiercely said, "Do you
think money can buy everything? I just want my husband alive! If you can bring him back to this world, I
want nothing. My children will never have their father anymore! You took away their father's life and
want to pay money for it. Do you know how old they are? What is the use of money without their
father's accompanying?"
She cried out. Her blood-red eyes staring straight at Nicole as if she were going to use her eyes to kill
Nicole.
Nicole, on the other hand, could tell something from her words.
Did it mean she does not want money?
She did not want to settle either.
"Mrs. Hunt, I know that money cannot buy everything. But we need to find a way to solve it after all of
these, right? You cannot just lay his body here forever, can you?"
As soon as Nicole finished speaking, Mrs. Hunt's eyes suddenly darkened.
"Yes, he would not stay here forever. I want you to pay your life for it!"
As Mrs. Hunts spoke, she suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it towards
Nicole.
