"Lord Elvis, what's the matter..."
When his subordinates saw Elvis looking at Nicole, they thought that Elvis liked Nicole. And they
hurriedly asked but only received Elvis' furious glare.
"I'm not interested in her. I just..."
Elvis did not continue to say but his lips curled.
Nicole felt like that someone was looking at her. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked directly at
the camera.
At the same time, Elvis was also staring at her face through the screen.
Nicole smiled faintly. She turned around and continued to sleep.
Elvis seemed irritated by that.
She was too arrogant.
Did she really thought I wouldn't hurt her?
See what she was doing!
Was she really a hostage?
She was more likely to be a tourist!
"Ask Nicole to clean up the warehouse."
Elvis suddenly said.
He didn't want to put Nicole at ease.
"Yes."
The subordinates immediately arranged for her.
Nicole was sleeping soundly when she was called.
"Lord Elvis ordered you to clean the warehouse. Here are some tools."
Harley threw a broom and other tools in front of Nicole.
Audrey was instantly enraged.
"Are you kidding me? My daughter is pregnant, and you ask her to do cleaning? If you insist, then let
me do it."
"Mom, they asked me not you. Don't worry. I'll go. Besides, I'm pregnant for a short time, so it's fine."
Nicole didn't really care.
She took the broom and rag and followed Harley to the warehouse, notwithstanding Audrey's advice to
the contrary.
There were only some clothes in the warehouse.
Harley brought Nicole over there and left.
Nicole found the warehouse was quite large but was in a mess.
As she was free all the time, she was happy to do something. She then packed up.
There were many cloths and some old clothes. She didn't know how to deal with them. Throw away?
Nicole gathered the clothes together and suddenly saw one that had blood on it.
The coat looked old as the blood stains on it had already darkened. She wouldn't have found if she
looked at it carelessly.
Nicole frowned slightly. She sniffed the coat and couldn't smell the blood.
The coat was in rags as if it was lashed hard before.
Whose was it?
Nicole suddenly thought of Petty's mother.
Would it be hers?
If so, would Una, an innocent woman, let that happen in front of herself?
Nicole stood there in deep thought.
However, no one would answer her.
Nicole hid the coat and continued to do her cleaning. She did not find anything else.
After she finished cleaning, she felt a little tired and then sat in a chair to have a rest.
There were no valuable clues and no useful stuff could be used to communicate with the outside world
in the warehouse.
People here were completely self-sufficient, relying on a vegetable garden.
Nicole was somewhat upset.
After putting the tools in order, she walked out of the warehouse. The sun descended toward the
horizon and she then found that she had spent all the afternoon in the warehouse.
When Nicole was stretching herself, she saw a few servants running towards the main hall in a hurry.
"What's going on?"
She stopped a servant and asked.
The servant said anxiously, "Una suddenly began to throw up. Lord Elvis is worried about her and is
also furious now."
"Throw up?"
Nicole frowned slightly.
She walked behind the servant.
Elvis' loud voice was filling the room.
Nicole had always thought that although Elvis was ruthless, he was polite to outsiders. Now, Elvis
looked like an angry lion, and he was so manic that he would kill anyone who dared to step forward.
Many servants constantly took washbasins out. Nicole found there was throw-up in these washbasins.
Obviously, it came from Una.
"Don't you have a doctor on this island? Why don't you go outside and find a doctor for her? Maybe
she's got food poisoning."
Nicole said directly.
The room turned completely quiet.
Elvis instantly looked at Nicole.
"Why are you here?"
"I just stopped to take a look."
Nicole shrugged indifferently.
Elvis narrowed his eyes.
"Did you say that she's got food poisoning just now? Did you poison her? Get her for me!"
Hearing that, Harley immediately pushed Nicole to the ground.
Nicole was surprised and mad.
"Elvis, are you out of your mind? Everyone knows that if someone throws up like that, he must have got
food poisoning. I know that but it doesn't mean I poisoned her. I've been in the warehouse all afternoon.
How can I poison her?"
"You're practicing piano together in the morning. Heaven knows whether you poisoned her or not at
that time? Lock her up in the basement. Nicole, if I find that you actually did it, no matter who you are, I
won't let you go!"
Elvis was completely crazy now.
Nicole was taken to a cold basement.
"Elvis, you're a fucking fool!"
She scolded and shouted angrily, but she was totally ignored.
Nicole was tired, so she stopped cursing Elvis and began to observe the basement.
The basement was very large and spacious and she could even hear the echo of her voice. There was
no light at all.
Nicole was a little scared.
"Hey, anyone there?"
Nicole shouted and heard nothing but the echo of herself.
She was frightened and wanted to sit for a while. Just then she suddenly touched an ice-cold body.
"Oh!"
Nicole screamed and almost jumped up.
She was not brave enough. It was so dark here that she couldn't see clearly what was inside the
basement. No wonder she would be frightened after touching a body like that.
"Be quiet."
The sudden voice of the corpse almost finished Nicole.
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
"I also want to know the answer."
The corpse suddenly moved.
Nicole was afraid and retreated several steps. Her head was hit and it hurt her a lot.
A woman sat up. Perhaps she was used to darkness, she could see Nicole's movement clearly.
"As the ceiling is relatively low and a little damp, you'd better stoop to walk. You can sit down if you feel
tired. Find a seat here."
Nicole found that the woman's words logical and slowly relieved.
"Who are you?"
"Who am I? Does it matter? I'm a dead man here."
Lillian whispered.
Nicole found the courage to approach her. She came to sit by her side.
"Why are you so cold?"
"If you were used for drug trials and stayed in the cold and humid basement all day, your body
temperature might be the same as me."
Probably no one had talked to the woman for a long time. She answered all Nicole's questions.
Nicole was completely relieved when she knew the woman was alive.
"Doing drug trials? For Una?"
It was the only reason that Nicole could think of.
Lillian suddenly paused.
"Do you know Una?"
"I just met her. Yesterday, I was taken to this island. As I know a little about music, I was forced to
discuss music with Una. Today, she suddenly began to throw up. Elvis thought I had poisoned her and
locked me here."
Nicole briefly told her what she had experienced.
Lillian sneered and said, "Elvis loves Una so much that he can't see the wood for the trees. As long as
she shows any health problems such as having a cold or fever, he will blame people around her.
Judging from her symptoms, everyone knows she's got food poisoning. However, Elvis would never
believe it. He always thinks that someone intends to hurt Una. But there are more good people in the
world than bad. He just cares way too much about her."
Nicole listened to the woman and found she was very familiar with things around here. She
immediately frowned and asked, "Who are you? You seem to be very familiar with Elvis and Una."
Lillian was slightly stunned and whispered, "My name is Lillian. Una and I were friends. We lived in the
same orphanage and Elvis took us out of there."
"Lillian?"
Nicole had never heard of the name before.
"As you say, have you been here with Una all the time?" She thought and whispered.
"Sort of. I haven't left the island."
Lillian said in a small voice.
Nicole hurriedly asked, "Alright. I want to ask about a person. I wonder if you know her."
"Who?"
"I don't know her name, but I know that she and Elvis have a daughter called Petty. Did you know
something about that?"
Just as Nicole finished, Lillian suddenly trembled.
"You mean Petty? Do you know her? Where did you come from? Are you from the Seapolis City?"
She grabbed Nicole's arm.
Lillian was short of nutrition and skinny, but she could still grab Nicole by the arm tightly.
Nicole felt some pain. She did not know why Lillian became so excited.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Answer me now, are you from the Seapolis City?"
"Yes, I'm from the Seapolis City. To be exact, I'm Petty's sister-in-law."
Nicole answered seriously.
Lillian suddenly cried.
"My Petty, how is my Petty? Is she fine? Has she done anything wrong for Elvis?"
Lillian's words instantly stunned Nicole.
"Your Petty? Are you Petty's mother?"
Nicole never expected that she would encounter Petty's mother, Lillian, here!
She wanted to get close to Lillian and see her clearly, but the light here was dim.
Suddenly a thought came to Nicole's mind. She quickly pushed Lillian away and put her hand into her
pocket.
