"I'll ask Ernesto to work on it."
Samuel immediately called Ernesto.
"Go and get Melissa's blood. Then you also need to think of a way to take the blood sample of Mr. and
Mrs. Bush from the prison and run the paternity test. I want the result as soon as possible."
"Yes, Mr. Green."
Nicole thought about something when Samuel made the phone call. She couldn't help but think of her
aunt that Edwin mentioned not long ago.
Nicole thought to herself, "It can't just be a coincidence."
"Samuel, is it possible for the children of a pair of twins to get a similar result if they run a paternity
test?"
"Theoretically speaking, it is highly possible. Why do you ask?"
Samuel seemed to be confused.
Nicole told Samuel about her aunt.
Samuel frowned after hearing Nicole's story.
"Are you saying that Zayn's mother might be your aunt who got lost since childhood?"
"I guess so. After all, I used to run a paternity test with the Don family before and so did my mother.
How could I become Zayn's younger sister? I don't even know who he is."
Samuel lost in thought at Nicole's words.
"What are you thinking? You think that I'm wrong?"
Nicole was a little anxious.
Samuel whispered, "You did the paternity test with Audrey and the Don family to get a new identity.
After all, we faked your death five years ago. If you want to have a new household registration, you
must have a new identity. It was the Don family that did the paternity test for you."
Nicole immediately understood what Samuel wanted to say.
"So you think the Don family did something to change the result of the paternity test in order to give me
an identity? Why do they do this? There is no reason for the Don family to have a new family member."
Nicole made some sense here.
Samuel sighed and said, "You're right. As a matter of fact, we don't have to worry about it at all. We
could pay a visit to Zayn's mother after we go to Country F. If she's really your aunt, she should look
exactly the same as your mother. Everything would make sense if that is the case. But you need to
remember not to tell everyone that you are Zayn's younger sister."
"Why?"
Nicole didn't quite understand.
Samuel whispered, "Zayn is the prince of the country F. The president in country F recently has some
disagreement with the Cabinet. The country has great divisions over who should be the next successor
and the fight for power is heating up now. Zayn's mother was only the fifth wife of the president. She
had been favored for only a few years before she passed away, leaving Zayn alone and bullied by
some people of influence. Some people even tried to assassinate him in order to become the legal
successor to the president. It is a miracle that he is still alive now. In order to protect himself, he chose
to embark his career in entertainment. That is why those people who initially want Zayn to die just let
him go now. However, Zayn is highly ambitious. There might be some other reasons, but he does keep
a low profile recent years and has some forces to protect himself secretly. But now Zayn has nothing to
worry about because Pedro is dead. Zayn even begins to contend for power with Santino."
"It would be terrible if your real identity is discovered. You have the Shaws and the Don family behind
your back, both of which are military forces. I am your husband and I will definitely become part of this
conflict. If other people find out that you are Zayn's younger sister, Santino might see you as a threat
and send someone to kill you. That's why I didn't want you to know about the truth at first. I just want
you to live a simple and happy life."
Nicole frowned.
She knew that what Samuel said was true, but Edwin was always worried about her aunt.
Nicole thought to herself, "Grandpa could at least know what happened to his daughter if Zayn's
mother was really my aunt."
"How can Zayn be so sure that we are siblings?"
"I think what's behind this whole thing is not simple. Zayn knows everything about the country even if
he works in the entertainment industry. It suggests that he has his own connections. He could quietly
take away your blood sample for the paternity test. The whole thing is supposed to be secretive, but
how could Tami know about it? What's more, Tami's boyfriend works for Major who is on the same side
with Santino. It doesn't seem like a coincidence to me. Who could guarantee that the result of the
paternity test was real if everything was planned in the first place? And how could Zayn suddenly know
about you?"
Nicole felt a headache after hearing Samuel's words.
Nicole thought to herself, "How could these people come all this way just to deceive each other?"
"If the result of the paternity test has been tampered with and Zayn's mother is not my aunt, what is the
point of making Zayn believe that I am his sister?"
Samuel squinted and whispered, "I'm afraid what they want is to kill you and me by using the fight for
power in Country F."
"Are you saying that all of this is a conspiracy? Suppose that I have nothing to do with Zayn, but they
suddenly tell other people that I am Zayn's younger sister so that they can use the fight for power in
country as an excuse to kill you and me. But we can also find about the truth. Truth will come to light
sooner or later. The cat will be out of the bag eventually."
"That's why I think that you and Zayn might actually be related in some way."
Nicole stunned at Samuel's words.
"What do you mean?"
"It means that it is very likely that Zayn is your aunt's son, and you and Zayn are cousins. However,
these are all speculations. We will have to meet Zayn's mother later to find out the truth. If we are right,
then the person behind this must have known that the daughter of the Shaws used to get lost. Although
there were a lot of rumors going around about what happened back then, many people thought that
that girl had been killed by terrorists. That was why very few people knew that a girl from the Shaws
used to get lost. The fact that this person knew about this incident indicated that he got along well with
the Shaws at that time, or at least he was very close to them. That's why this person is really terrifying."
Samuel told Nicole about it in detail.
Nicole instantly felt so depressed.
She always felt like that she had just taken out an enemy and was just about to lead a peaceful life for
a few days. But another bad person just came out.
Nicole thought to herself, "When can everything return to normal?"
"Forget it! I am so overwhelmed that I can barely think now. Who cares who he is? There is always one
thing to overcome the other. I just want to live a peaceful life with you for a few days. I hope those bad
guys do not come to disturb us at this time. Otherwise, I will do whatever I can to destroy the enemy no
matter who he is!"
Nicole said with great courage and pouted her lips like a child. Samuel laughed immediately.
"You are right. We'll just wait and see what exactly is on that person's mind. There's no need to think
too much about it now. If you're still worried, you can run another paternity test with the Don family. I
think that you're the child of the Don family and Audrey. Zayn could not be your sibling."
"That's what I think. However, it's very likely that Zayn is my cousin. At the very least, I get something
useful. Grandpa would definitely be happy if he knows that I get a clue about my aunt's whereabouts."
Nicole said happily.
Only then did Samuel realize that he seemed to have forgotten to tell Nicole something.
"Nicole, I didn't seem to tell you that Zayn's mother passed away."
Nicole was stunned for a moment.
She went over her conversation with Samuel and realized that Samuel used to say that Zayn's mother
died a few years after she got married.
In other words, what Zayn wanted them to see was his mother's tombstone?
Nicole suddenly felt a little depressed.
"I am glad that I did not tell grandpa, or he could be very disappointed. I think grandpa leads a
miserable life. Both of his two daughters died before him. Grandpa would be heartbreaking. Samuel,
you must promise me that you will not die on me when we get old. You can never die before me. I don't
want to see you leave this world with my own eyes. I would be devastated."
Nicole suddenly felt sad.
"Honey, what are you talking about? We will live a happy life together. What do you want to eat? I'll
cook a meal for us."
"How about you? I am super hungry now..."
Nicole blinked her eyes.
That word sort of turned Samuel on, but he stayed calm when he thought of the small operation he had
in the morning. He coughed on purpose and said, "I am not on the menu because I am poisonous. We
can try something else."
Nicole immediately laughed.
"What are you thinking? I can eat whatever you cook. You might as well ask your daughter what she
wants for the meal. By the way, where's Zoe?"
Nicole finally realized that Zoe didn't come back after she went to wash the fruit.
She stood up immediately and walked towards the kitchen
Samuel followed Nicole.
When the two of them arrived at the kitchen, they found Zoe sitting in the kitchen with a bag of fruit in
her arms. She was eating silently and seemed like she ate nothing for some time.
The corners of Nicole's mouth twitched.
"Zoe, can you tell me what you're doing?"
"I am eating fruit."
There was still some residue of pitaya on the corners of Zoe's mouth. It was red and a little bit scary.
"How many did your daddy buy for you? How could you eat so many Pitaya! You could have diarrhea in
the middle of the night!"
"But they are delicious."
Zoe puffed out her cheeks and tried to eat as many pitaya as possible. She was afraid that Nicole
would take them away.
Samuel looked at Nicole and Zoe with a smile and took pitaya away from Zoe.
"You could have a stomachache if you eat too many of it. Go wash your hands and face. Daddy will
make you something tasty."
"Get it! I love Daddy!"
When Zoe heard that she was about to eat something delicious, she immediately got up and kissed
Samuel, leaving lipstick on his face. She then ran out with a smile.
Nicole was somewhat unhappy, "She might not be able to get married in the future if she knows nothing
but to eat every day!"
"I'll take care of my own daughter if that happens. I have the ability to protect my daughter forever."
Samuel said calmly, but he suddenly felt that Nicole was giving him a cold look.
He looked quite innocent and said, "What's the matter? Are you mad at me?"
"It looks like you can do anything for your daughter. Samuel, let me tell you, all of your money is mine!
Mine! You can't use my money to do whatever you like! You are nothing but a fickle and ungrateful
man!"
Nicole angrily turned around and left.
Samuel was confused.
Samuel thought to himself, "Why is she angry at me all of a sudden?"
"Zoe is our daughter. How could I be fickle and ungrateful because I want to give our daughter the
best?"
It took Samuel five minutes for him to finally understand what happened.
Nicole was jealous!
She was even jealous of her daughter!
Samuel was a little confused.
Samuel thought to himself, "Maybe I should do something to make Nicole happy."
"She gets cuter when we are apart."
Samuel smiled, but he suddenly heard his phone ringing.
