"Jacob, what's going on?"
Samuel unlocked the phone and put himself on speakerphone.
Jacob whispered, "Mr. Green, Elvis disappeared."
Nicole's face cracked into a smile.
"He can't never run away from us. Check who he contacted and go find him."
"Yes, madam."
Jacob would certainly listen to Nicole. Though Samuel hadn't said anything, Jacob knew that Samuel
would do the same.
After hanging up the phone, Samuel looked at Nicole, smiling faintly, "Somehow I feel like I don't know
my wife. How did you become so powerful anyway?"
"I'm not powerful. I just happen to know someone."
Nicole knew that it was time for her to confess.
She tried to sit up, and Samuel promptly placed the pillow behind her so that she could lean
comfortably against it.
Nicole held Samuel's hand and whispered, "I didn't mean to lie to you. It's just that I didn't think it was a
big deal. Besides, I didn't have many opportunities. It was just a one-time favor."
"What was it, exactly?"
"It all starts with Lucas."
Nicole paused for a moment and began to talk.
"Lucas has been interested in computers since he was little. I didn't notice this at that time. It was Allen
who discovered it. He said that if the kid really liked it, he would invite a teacher to teach him. Either
way, it would be good for Lucas."
After saying this, Nicole sensed that Samuel's expression turned somewhat gloomy. She knew that this
man might be jealous again.
"Come on. It's all history now. Lucas and I are now with you. Doesn't that mean more to you?"
Still, Samuel was quite upset. He muttered, "But I have missed a lot of your precious memories. And
Allen was a part of these memories at all time. When I think of this, I feel sad."
Nicole couldn't say anything about this. The situation back then was too complicated. She really didn't
know that Samuel was innocent. She was also very regretful that Samuel was not there with them.
"It's OK. We still have a baby on the way, don't we? I believe you will be a great father this time."
"You think?"
"Of course."
Hearing Nicole's words, Samuel laughed like a child.
Nicole sighed and said, "Do you want to me to continue or not?"
"Sorry. Sorry. You go on."
This time, Samuel sat there like an obedient kid and listened carefully.
Nicole continued, "The teacher Allen found for Lucas was very skilled. Later on, we found out that he
was a hacker of the 158 organization."
"What? Does that mean Allen knows people from 158?"
Samuel immediately thought of this.
Nicole shook her head.
"No, Allen didn't know the identity of the teacher. Only Lucas knew. Since Lucas was so gifted, his
teacher wanted to take Lucas to the organization. Given Lucas' age and talent, he might grow up to be
a pillar of the organization if trained properly. Lucas only told me about this. It was a rather awkward
situation. And I didn't want to have anything to do with the Tang Family for this favor. So I made an
agreement with the 158 organization. When Lucas turned 10 years old, we would then see if he was
still interested. So it was not I but Lucas who knew the organization. I didn't ask them for the favor then
because that was not the right time. Besides, Lucas was hanging around just like other boys. And I
think it's quite good. The reputation of a genius is great, but it can also make him lose a lot of fun, don't
you think?"
Nicole told me all about the 158 organization at one go. Only then did Samuel nod his head.
"What a surprise! I didn't expect that my son would be valued by the 158 organization. This means that
he is really talented."
"Don't get too excited about this, Lucas prefers working for the military. If he were to work for the 158,
he would end up as a hacker for his whole life. So we still need to deal with the follow-up. But now we
have nothing to worry about. Only because you got into trouble did Lucas contact the people from the
158 organization. This would put pressure on those higher-ups. After all, many important figures in the
world rely on the 158 organization. So for this reason, the higher-ups wouldn't hold you down too much.
Thanks to that, I also got a chance to ease up."
Nicole sighed. With Samuel staring straight at her, she coughed and said somewhat awkwardly, "And I
knew someone from the Order of R purely by accident."
"What kind of accident? I have no idea that one can know some foreign terrorists by accident."
When Samuel thought of the cruelty and unscrupulousness of the Order of R, he became slightly
nervous and worried. He didn't expect that his wife could know such an organization.
Nicole said somewhat gloomily, "I really don't know them well. It's just that their leader was injured one
time, and I happened to save him. I didn't know he's a terrorist. He saw me drawing a draft and asked
me if I could design a car for him. I agreed. Not until he paid me did I find out that he was the leader of
the Order of R. But it was already too late. Since I saved him, he said that he owed me a favor, and if I
ever had to ask him, just called him. However, there was only one chance. After using it, the two of us
would be even. For all these years, I didn't ask the favor and almost forgot that. If it were not for you, I
wouldn't call him for the rest of my life. "
Hearing Nicole's words, Samuel felt bad.
"I'm a bastard. I should've protected you, but I didn't. Don't worry. Even if the Order of R want
something from you, I will make sure that you and the children are safe."
Samuel's words indicated something, but Nicole did not want to ask now. She confessed what she
should have confessed and finally felt relieved.
"I really didn't mean to lie to you."
"I know. I'm just so surprised. It seems that if I don't work hard, I'll be left behind by you and Lucas."
"You've already done well enough. And it was Lucas' credit, not mine. By the way, what about your
case now?"
This was Nicole's biggest concern now.
Although Samuel was released, this case was not over. She had Elvis withdraw the lawsuit. But the fact
that Elvis disappeared meant that he definitely had another plan. If this was not handled properly,
Samuel would end up with an unwarranted charge all his life, which was something Nicole did not want
to see.
Samuel touched her hand and smiled, "Just leave this to me. You've done well enough. Now tell me
your plan."
"My plan? Well, it was actually Lucas' plan. He hacked into Elvis’ computer and found that Elvis had a
secret research base, which was about regenerative cells, gene variation and things like that. I don't
know much about these. However, Elvis is very optimistic about this research base, so he has been
focusing on this in recent years. After Lucas found the location, I asked the Order of R to surround the
research base, which forced Elvis to drop the lawsuit. However, he probably didn't want to be
restrained by me, which might explained the incident of Jamar falling to his death. I think he must have
asked Gerry to say something to Jamar's wife, asking her to stab me. If I die, then no one will be able
to restrain him. And no one can stop what he wants to do. But Jamar's wife was probably too nervous,
and I took control of the situation as soon as I got there, which turned everything around. "
Samuel felt so bad when Nicole said such a thrilling experience in a flat tone.
"You've done a great job. You're even better than a man like me. Honey, don't you want to work at the
company? I think I can work for you."
Hearing this, Nicole laughed.
"Since you mentioned it, when did you put the shares of the group under my name? Do you know that
if you don't give me that 25% of the shares, you will be the biggest shareholder of the company. Now
that you have the same shares as me, others may gossip about this."
"Then what? Mine is yours. I haven't given you all the shares, because there is still something I have to
deal with. Otherwise, you are my boss. You can do whatever you want me to do. And I will go wherever
you want me to go."
"Are you still the Samuel I know?"
Nicole smiled and looked at him.
Samuel held her hand tightly and said gently, "I can be anybody, but I have to be with you. I only need
you."
"Sweet words, but I like it."
As Nicole spoke, she fell into Samuel's arms.
It was only a day or two of separation. But after all these things, Samuel just missed her so much.
He threw his arms around Nicole and kissed her so hard.
With all these experiences, Nicole began to feel a little tired.
She leaned against Samuel and whispered, "The Green family has gone through several layoffs. Why
are there still a mole in our family? Gerry died in our basement at that time. And it must had something
to do with the mole. Samuel, you must find this person. Otherwise, our family might get into trouble."
"I know. I will take care of it. Don't worry."
Samuel held Nicole gently and sniffed her hair. Yet a look of hatred flashed across his eyes.
Nicole was probably too tired. She fell asleep in Samuel's arms.
Looking at Nicole's exhausted face, Samuel felt so bad. He helped her lie down and tucked the sheets
for her. After calling the nurse to take care of her, he left the ward alone.
The instant Samuel got out of the ward, his face hardened. The grim look on his face made the
reporters around the ward stiffened with fear.
They knew that the Seapolis City might not be as peaceful anymore.
