How naive!
Samuel cursed inwardly, but his eyes were already red.
He hugged Nicole in his arms and said softly, "Well, Nicole, it's over."
Finally, Nicole heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed into Samuel's embrace.
Samuel hugged her tightly and smelled her hair while his eyes glowed with a baleful light.
Now that Santino hurt Nicole, Samuel would have to destroy his secret room. And of course, Santino
wouldn't get away with it.
Noticing the people who were pursuing them leave, Samuel gently put Nicole aside and went out of the
secret room. Suddenly, he closed the curtains to blot out the infrared rays.
No matter when the infrared rays came, once the curtains were drawn, no one knew what he was doing
inside.
Samuel searched carefully, then hacked into Santino's computer and removed some important
documents. Then he returned to the secret room.
Nicole had woken up. Noticing Samuel come from outside, she asked weakly, "Where did you go?"
"I've got some compensation. Let's go in and see what this secret room is for. Are you okay? Do you
need a rest?"
Santino's secret room had become their hiding place. They wouldn't be exposed easily.
Although she was a little weak, Nicole knew that the longer they stayed here, the worse it would be.
"I'm fine. The wound is a little painful, but I can hold on."
It almost broke Samuel's heart.
"Climb up on my back. I'll carry you."
Inside the secret room was a broad passageway. They had no idea where it led.
Nicole had wanted to persevere, but Samuel looked resolute. So, she quickly climbed up on Samuel's
back.
She was carried once again. Her heart was filled with sweetness.
"I'm afraid I'll be the only one on your back."
Nicole joked.
"OK."
Samuel replied simply.
Nicole's lips arched into a smile, and she felt the injury on her arm was not so painful.
"What do you think Santino built this secret room and such a long passageway for?"
"I don't know."
Samuel shook his head.
There were no guards and defensive systems. It was as if they were quite confident about the infrared
rays outside. It was eerily quiet.
Nicole sensed a little danger.
She whispered, "How about you put me down? If anything happens, you can react quickly."
"It won't hold me back."
Samuel knew Nicole worried about him, but he felt bad leaving Nicole to walk by herself since she
looked pale.
They walked forward about a hundred meters before they were dimly aware of voices shouting.
Nicole immediately gestured for Samuel to put her down. Then they slowly leaned over.
"Don't cry! Or you'll die!"
Hearing the harsh voice, Samuel and Nicole immediately stopped.
Nicole bent over and looked inside. She found a dozen women of different nationalities crouching in a
large iron cage. They were stripped of all their clothes except the underwear.
Her eyes suddenly darkened.
She thought that was something Santino tried to hide. But it turned out to be Santino's harem.
There were only five guards. They were all idle and careless. Some were even drinking and playing
cards. They believed that it was a safe place, so they let up.
Samuel frowned slightly.
He suddenly noticed a familiar figure cleaning the room among the guards.
That woman was so humble. It was heartbreaking to see her.
Her broom accidentally hit a guard's trouser leg, which angered the guard.
"Holy shit, are you blind? How dare you stain my pants? Mr. Santino had a designer make it for me."
The guard kicked the woman to the ground.
The woman grunted and quickly got up. Then she knelt in front of the guard, wiped the dirt off his pants
with her sleeve, and apologized humbly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Freeman. I'm sorry."
"Don't apologize. It won't work on me. Just lick it off!"
However, that guard did not intend to let the woman off. He kicked her in the chest and spat in her face.
The woman didn't dare to wipe it off but even started licking that guard's pant leg.
The other guards immediately burst into laughter.
One of them shook his head and said, "How ridiculous! It is said that she was the head of the Green
family in Country Z. She used to be proud and powerful. But now, she is so screwed. It's unbelievable.
If Mr. Santino hadn't told us not to give away her position, I would have got her on video and let people
see how miserable she is."
The woman paused for a moment and that guard cursed again.
"What are you thinking? Focus! Do you want to die? You are old and ugly, but since we can't go back
and make out with our women, you might as well be a sex doll. We can't touch those women, but
you're different. Get over there and take off your clothes. Let's have a good time."
That guard grabbed the woman's hair and forced her to look up at him. And Nicole finally saw the
woman's face.
She was taken aback.
It was actually Laurel!
Samuel's foster mother!
Nicole was extremely shocked. She looked at Samuel and found Samuel staring coldly at them.
She hurriedly held Samuel's hand.
His hands were so cold.
Laurel was released as bait to lure out the people behind her, but she escaped.
Recently, they had issued an arrest warrant for Laurel, but there had been little progress. Nicole never
imagined that she would be in Freeman's and live such a humble and miserable life!
Nicole knew that Samuel hated Laurel and what Laurel had done to the Green family and Country Z
was unforgivable, but after all, she was Samuel's foster mother.
Nicole didn't know if Laurel had feelings for Samuel before she carried out the plot, but Samuel had a
soft spot for her.
Laurel could be subjected to harsh laws, but as the head of the Green family and the foster mother of
Samuel, she shouldn't be so humiliated.
Nicole was still hesitating when Laurel struggled.
"Derek, don't you dare!"
That guard was Derek. Hearing Laurel call him by his first name, he couldn't help but slap her.
"How dare you call me by my first name? Do you think you're still the head of the Green family? Have
you forgotten what you are? You're just one of our stooges. If my grandfather hadn't slept with your
mother in the nightclub, you wouldn't have been born. You bastard, the king, and Mr. Santino gave you
the chance to set up an intelligence network in Country Z and even let you live a rich life. But what did
you give them in return? You can't even destroy the Green family, and the people in Country Z even
destroy the intelligence network. You actually get in our way!"
"You didn't apologize for such a big mistake, but even asked the king for help. You almost exposed the
king and Mr. Santino. You deserve to die! You have got all the Freemans in trouble."
As he spoke, Derek became even angrier.
"The king bestowed the surname "Freeman" on us. It is beyond example in the history of Country F. If it
weren't for my grandfather protecting the king, we wouldn't have enjoyed a high status in Country F. It
is a great honor to share the same surname as the king. You should be grateful to be a Freeman. You
should fight for the Freeman family, but you didn't bring honor to us and even almost destroyed us.
Grandfather had said that we had to make your life a living hell so that you could remember what you
are. Your life is at our disposal. You're lucky to get laid with us. Move over now!"
Derek once again kicked Laurel to the ground.
Laurel's whole body trembled. She was both angry and ashamed, but she could do nothing. The
guards quickly surrounded her and tore her clothes. They even let out a cackle of triumphant laughter.
Nicole couldn't watch any longer.
Laurel was indeed at fault in Country Z, but Country F was her hometown. Judging from Derek's words,
Laurel was related to him. How could he be so cruel?
Moreover, Nicole knew that Samuel would never allow anyone to humiliate the Greens.
Even if she had sinned greatly, Laurel shouldn't be treated like this!
Anyway, she was the wife of Samuel's father. She had been the head of the Green family!
Samuel could kill Laurel and the law in Country Z could punish her, but a villain like Derek couldn't
insult her.
"Stop!"
Nicole suddenly jumped out.
The familiar voice stunned Laurel. It gave her a flash of hope. When she saw Nicole, her eyes lit up.
"Nicole?"
Laurel was both dumbfounded and pleasantly surprised.
She thought that even if her plan failed, her family would understand her since she had sacrificed so
much for her family and country. But she didn't expect them to make her life a living
hell.
