Samuel smiled bitterly. He had been the hunter all his life, but now, he was hunted.
The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. Samuel did not hide. He took out a cigarette and
lit it.
When the door opened, he had only taken a few puffs of his cigarette.
Obviously, the person who knocked on the door was surprised to see Samuel. The policeman behind
him also froze for a moment.
"Mr. Green?"
"What's going on?"
Samuel asked subconsciously.
The policeman whispered, "Someone called the police and said there was a murder. We're here to take
a look."
"Go ahead."
Samuel did not say anything.
The policeman felt Pedro's breath and frowned.
"Mr. Green, I'm really sorry. I'm afraid you will have to come with us."
"OK."
Samuel was very cooperative.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Do you need to handcuff me?"
"No. We trust you, Mr. Green."
The police took Samuel away.
There were many reporters outside. When they saw Samuel taken out by the police, they all hurriedly
walked over.
"Mr. Green, may I ask what's going on? Do you have any grudges with Mr. Pedro?"
"Mr. Green, may I ask when did you came here? Was Mr. Pedro still alive when you arrived?"
A series of sharp questions rushed into Samuel's ears.
However, he only sneered.
He entered the room and found Pedro was already dead. Now there were reporters waiting for him.
Someone must have set this all up.
The policeman was rather professional. He stopped the reporters.
"Sorry, the case is still unclear. No interview is accepted for the time being. Thank you."
After saying that, he took Samuel away.
Nicole was waiting for Samuel, but Samuel still didn't come back after a long time. His phone was dead
either. Nicole suddenly felt a little depressed.
Samuel, what was going on?
Olivia knew that something had happened to Samuel. She was quite worried.
If Nicole knew that something had happened to Samuel, would she insist on going out to see him?
Thinking of Nicole's injuries, Olivia felt a headache.
"What's going on? Are you hiding something from me?"
Nicole and Olivia had been friends for long. Seeing that Olivia was quite upset, Nicole asked her
worriedly.
"Am I?"
Olivia tried her best to calm herself down, but in vain. She would think of Samuel whenever she saw
Nicole's face.
"I'm going out for a moment."
"Where?"
"The bathroom."
Olivia found a lame excuse and ran away.
Nicole didn't think too much about it. She thought that Olivia had her own personal matters. It didn't
matter if Olivia didn't tell her now. Sooner or later, she would find out the truth.
Nicole turned on her laptop and began to work.
The filmmaking company had been doing well lately.
Several new actors had their own endorsements and characters to play in the film industry. Although it
wasn't much, the company was indeed moving towards a better future.
Nicole sent a message to Daisy.
"Recruit two more agents if possible. Otherwise, you won't be able to handle so many matters by
yourself."
"I see."
Daisy answered.
"Nicole, I think our company is too small to attract experienced agents now. How about we focus on
training the new agents here?"
Nicole agreed to Daisy's suggestion.
"Alright. It's up to you. We can discuss it when you find the right person."
"OK."
Daisy was very grateful for Nicole's trust.
Nicole asked a few other questions about the company, and finally decided that she had to establish
her own reputation.
In other words, she had to spend a lot of money to sign a famous star.
Nicole thought of Zayn.
Then, she shook her head.
Zayn could be up to no good. If Nicole signed Zayn now, there would definitely be a lot of troubles.
Thinking of this, Nicole dropped the idea.
Daisy hesitated when she learned that Nicole wanted to sign a big shot.
"Nicole, our company is still small in scale, and those big shots might not want to stay here. Even if
they do, we may not be able to afford their salaries."
That was the truth.
Nicole sighed slightly.
"Alright, let's talk about this later."
"Yes."
Nicole did not refute, and Daisy felt even more grateful to her.
It was rare to work with such an open-minded boss now.
Nicole was about to end the conversation, but Daisy paused for a moment and said, "Nicole, there's
something I should tell you. Well, maybe I shouldn't."
"What is it? Tell me."
Nicole thought it was about the company, so she asked casually.
However, Daisy did not answer Nicole immediately. Instead, she paused for a while. Nicole was waiting
for her all this time.
After about a minute, Daisy finally sent a message.
"Nicole, something has happened to Mr. Green."
"What is it?" Nicole asked subconsciously.
Only after a while did she realize that Daisy was talking about Samuel.
Her heart skipped a beat.
"What happened?"
Nicole darkened her eyes, and her palms were slightly sweating.
Samuel was still not back. Did something really happen to him?
Samuel rarely turned off his phone, but now Nicole couldn't get through anyway. Nicole felt a little
nervous.
Hearing Nicole's anxious tone, Daisy thought for a while before speaking, "Mr. Green is involved in a
murder case."
Nicole's heart suddenly sank.
"Murder?"
"Yes. Not long ago, an agent died in the coffee shop opposite the hospital. Mr. Green was the only one
on the spot. The police have already taken him away. Now the media has started broadcasting, and the
spreading of the news is terrifying. I'm afraid that the share price of the Eternal Group will fall."
After all, Daisy was someone from the Eternal Group.
She originally worked for Samuel, so it was natural that she would worry about her company now.
Moreover, Samuel was also Nicole's husband.
Nicole frowned.
A murder case?
How could Samuel be involved in a murder case?
Nicole's eyelids kept fluttering.
Obviously, he was set up.
"Perhaps it had something to do with me. Samuel must have been framed because of me," Nicole
thought.
The one who set this up was targeting Nicole. Since Samuel was Nicole's husband, also her strongest
supporter, if that person could get rid of Samuel, it would be much easier to deal with Nicole.
Nicole's mind was racing. Then, she whispered, "What is going on with the board of directors of the
Eternal Group?"
"I'm not sure, but I can ask around."
Originally, Daisy was afraid that Nicole would blame her for worrying about other people's company.
But after hearing Nicole's words, she felt relieved.
"Call me when you know the situation."
Nicole hung up the phone.
Her expression was very ugly.
She actually forgot to ask who the victim was.
Why did she have a bad feeling?
Just as Nicole was thinking about this, Olivia came in. Her eyes were wandering, and she still didn't
have the guts to look into Nicole's eyes.
Nicole looked at Olivia and said coldly, "Why are you avoiding me?"
"No. I'm not."
Olivia forced a smile.
Nicole was not in the mood to joke with Olivia now.
"Who is dead?"
"What?"
Olivia paused for a moment and then changed her expression. She became even more worried now.
Nicole didn't say anything. She just stared at Olivia. In the end, Olivia could stand it no more. She gave
up in hiding.
"Alright. I can't hide anything from you, can I? Did you check your phone?"
Olivia naturally thought that people would know anything through their phones in the information age.
Nicole did not leave the house, so she could only know about Samuel's matter from her phone.
Nicole froze for a moment.
She didn't even look at the news on her phone.
Hearing Olivia's words, Nicole immediately picked up her phone and checked the news page.
Now Olivia regretted that she reminded her of the phone. But it was useless to say anything now.
Nicole looked at the news from the beginning to the end with an ugly face.
"Nicole, this is too coincidental."
"Of course it is. Someone has carefully designed all this."
Nicole sneered and then lifted the blanket.
"What are you doing?"
Olivia couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Nicole replied indifferently, "Get me discharged from the hospital. I want to return to the Seapolis City."
"Are you crazy? You are so badly injured. What can you do even if you go back?"
Olivia naturally couldn't agree.
"There are so many things I can do. The Eternal Group must be in a mess now. The share price will fall
tomorrow, and the restless directors must have something on their minds. Samuel is not there, so I
have to watch the company for him," Nicole said calmly.
"Will you stop joking? Do you think you have influence on the Eternal Group? Nicole, I know you're
worried about Samuel, but now is not the time for you to act emotionally, Okay?"
Olivia felt that Nicole must be too worried about Samuel to think rationally. She thought that Nicole
didn't know what she was talking about.
How could Nicole oversee the Eternal Group, which was such a big company?
Nicole looked at Olivia and said word by word, "I have 35% of the shares in the Eternal Group. Why
can't I have a say?"
"What?"
This time, it was Olivia's turn to be surprised.
She never thought that Nicole would actually own so many shares!
"Samuel gave me his shares. In fact, I am the current executive director of the Eternal Group. Samuel
is the person in charge on the surface. To put it bluntly, he is working for me."
"Oh my God! Your husband actually gave you all of his shares?"
Olivia knew that Samuel loved Nicole, but she didn't know that he loved her so much.
Nicole nodded and said, "Well, Samuel said that a rich man would easily become flighty. He didn't want
that, and he didn't want me to be worried. So, he gave me all his money and decided to work for me. If
he really cheats on me one day, I can chase him away with all the money."
Samuel indeed said that. However, after finding out what happened to Samuel and Tami, Nicole never
thought about the money again.
After all, they didn't get married for money.
Olivia was still shocked, but Nicole could not wait any longer. She directly got up and walked
out.
