The other two did not focus on the special forces as Spencer patted Samuel on the head and said with
some pity.
“Sam, with that brain of yours, I guess you’ll never be able to become a special force.” Samuel looked at
Spencer, somewhat miffed.
“Why not?” Stanley, too sighed.
“Lil Sis can already call upon the special forces to save grandpa.
You, you are just too far behind.”
When Samuel heard that, his footsteps slowed.
‘Indeed, how is she so awesome? So much so that those special forces with medals lining their chest
lowered their heads to her just like that.
She is really my idol!’
‘But Nicole is only eighteen this year, and she grew up in Great Oak all these while.
How did she get to know this group of elite folks?’
Seeing that he started thinking about this question that had bothered them the whole way, both Stanley
and Spencer let out a smile of relief.
‘Come on, it’s only right that no one figures this out.’
Seeing Samuel’s rather happy-go-lucky life, if they did not give him some sense of crisis, he would
probably just say that way and never improve.
The few returned to Royal Creek Institute together and wondered if the doctor Nicole had contacted
could cure grandpa or not.
As they thought of this, a look of worry appeared in both Stanley and Spencer’s eyes.
Steve was talking with Sean about what happened today at the office.
He went straight to the point and said, “Sean, how do you think Nicole got to know those people?”
When Sean heard what Steve said, his eyes did not move and instead focused his gaze on the
documents before him as he said somewhat casually.
“I don’t need to know how she knew those people.”
Sean gently used his ballpoint to sign the revised document as he said, “All I need to know is that she’s
my little sister, and that’s enough.”
Steve looked at Sean with a thoughtful gaze as he slowly broke into a smile.
“Yeah, she is our little sister.
We don’t need to dig into this too much.”
“It’s just me worrying unnecessarily.”
Sean nodded as a faint worry appeared on his face.
“I wonder where Nicole took grandpa too.
I hope we can get some good news soon.”
Steve pushed his golden spectacle frame.
“We cannot intervene in this.
Sean, how’s the bidding plan? It’ll be the second round in a few days’ time.”
In the previous round, they went toe-to-toe with the McCarthy family, and after half a month
of deliberation, Mr. Wyance must already have a candidate in mind.
Sean looked at Steve, and even his usually stoic voice showed a tinge of exhaustion.
“I hope we can make it.” He had prepared this proposal very carefully and hoped that this time, it could
win Mr. Wyance’s favor.
Dillon stood outside the hospital, feeling irritable.
Recalling how Damien warned him to not taunt Nicole anymore and for the usually cold him to get
someone to send Daniel and his wife back, a faint uneasiness appeared in Dillon’s heart.
He was the most mediocre of the Riddle family’s sons.
He was nowhere as talented as his Damien nor as educated as Dexter.
Even the unremarkable Daniel was always first in class while in school and was many times better than
him.
