Samuel was speechless.
What was more depressing than having worked so hard for so many years, but only paving way for
others?
What's more, this person was also the closest person he ever thought, and even his mother protected
him inexplicably.
He did not understand that even if his mother didn't like Nicole, Lucas was her grandson after all. Why
was his mother so calm and indifferent to Lucas’ disappearance?
In Samuel's memory, his mother was not a cold-blooded and merciless person. But why was all this?
It seemed that only Zama could give him an answer. But Zama had disappeared and Samuel could find
no clues as to the whereabouts of her.
Suddenly, everything seemed to have lost all the clues.
On the surface, the fire five years ago seemed to have been ordered by Riley. There might even be
Swift's advice and Zac's execution. But now, it seemed that the truth was far more than what Samuel
saw on the surface.
Zac was brought back from the orphanage by Samuel when he was a child. Samuel trained with him
and they grew up
together. They were like brothers. Zac had never disobeyed Samuel. But why did he betray Samuel in
Nicole's affairs?
Samuel remembered when Zac was with him, Zama would make Zac and Petty something to eat
sometimes.
At that time, Samuel only thought that Zama was kind-hearted and could treat orphans so kindly. But
now, when he thought
about it, Samuel guessed that Zama was courting them by this way.
Maybe from the beginning, Zac and Petty were roped in by Zama.
What Samuel didn't understand was that five years ago, Zama was very satisfied with Nicole, and she
was also very good to her. If the fire of Nicole was really caused by Zama, why? What was the
motivation?
Samuel couldn't figure out this, so he had never suspected Zama. However, he didn't expect that this
gave Zama a chance to take Lucas away under his nose.
Hearing Samuel's words, Jason frowned tightly.
"Zac is really a stubborn man. In the Don Family, he didn't disclose a word after so many punishments.
If it wasn't for Petty,
maybe he wouldn't show any flaws. Do you mean that the fire five years ago was set by Zac and
ordered by Riley?”
"At present, this is the case. But I don't think it will be so simple. Riley had already escaped from the
detention center, and even took Lucas and Joseph away. If she wanted to leave the Seapolis City, she
could make it by using either of them as a threat. But she did not do it. Why? What was she waiting
for? Or who didn't let her leave the Seapolis City? When Joseph escaped and Lucas’ whereabouts
were unknown, she should be capable to sneak out of the Seapolis City, but she was dead. She died
so inexplicable and abrupt. Don't you think it's strange?”
Samuel took out the cigarette, just smelled it, and then put it on the ear.
Seeing that he was so restrained, Jason knew him more.
"Maybe she was just tainted with that kind of thing to cause her accidental death?"
Hearing Jason's words, Samuel shook his head and said, "Do you know? I deliberately asked people to
send news to Riley, saying that Joseph was ill. Swift visited Riley at that time and gave her a bottle of
medicine. She said that it was a drug that could make Riley mentally disordered temporarily. The next
day, there would be a doctor to treat her. But do you know what kind of medicine was that?"
"What medicine?”
“Poison! The poison that will kill you as long as you touch it.”
Samuel's words made Jason suddenly change his face.
"How could it be?"
"Yes, how could it be? Swift has been widowed for so many years, and Riley is her only daughter.
Moreover, she places all
her hopes on Riley. She hopes that Riley can become my wife, so that the George Family can go up to
a higher level and keep her glory and wealth for the rest of her life. Under such circumstances, how
could she kill her own daughter?"
Samuel said faintly.
Jason was so clever that he immediately understood what Samuel meant.
"Do you mean that Swift was made use of by someone, and maybe she didn't even know that there
was something wrong with that bottle of medicine?”
"Most likely. If it were not for that Riley still had a little conscience at that time and worried about Joseph
and escaped from the detention center, maybe she would have died there at that time. But Riley not
only escaped, but also took Lucas and Joseph, and even planned to make use of Lucas to retaliate
Nicole. But when Nicole arrived here, the building was empty. Don't you think it's strange? Will a
woman who wishes you die give up the chance of revenge? Will she be softhearted temporally and let
go of Nicole? Do you think it's possible?”
After listening to Samuel's another question, Jason frowned deeper.
He never knew that there were so many questions about these things. With the death of Riley and the
disappearance of
Lucas and Nicole, there seemed to be no clue.
"Doesn't Joseph know anything?”
Samuel shook his head.
"Joseph is just a child. Besides, Riley had been indifferent to him in recent years, but she had never
beaten him like that. So,
it was a very heavy blow for Joseph. Without Lucas, Joseph might not be what he is now and no one
knows what he will become. The harm from his own mother is a shadow of his whole life. After he
came back, he had nightmares and cried every night. I can't ask what happened in those days, but
Joseph has changed. He doesn't talk about Riley any more. He doesn't even care about Riley's death,
but he is only a four-year-old boy after all! The impact and shadow of that incident on him can only fade
away with the passage of time. I only hope that he is OK. Then, I don't let Vincent down."
Samuel sighed.
Jason was suddenly shocked.
"Joseph is Vincent's son?"
"Yes!"
After telling the secret that had been hidden for so many years, Samuel suddenly felt relieved. Although
he was still anxious, he could relax for a moment.
Over the years, he had never regretted regarding Joseph as his son. But he felt guilty that Nicole and
her children had
suffered too much because of this. Now, before he could make up for it, they were attacked by others
again. How could he live well?
Others might not know Vincent, but Jason knew him. That case was handled by Jason.
As an informer, Vincent was eventually killed by others. Jason could remember the scene clearly. Every
time he thought of Vincent, he was awed.
