When the housekeeper said this, Rachel, Mrs. Brook, immediately got angry.
If it weren't for the benefits of that land, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask Samuel for a deal.
When she signed the contract, Rachel did not intend to include this reason, but Samuel added it
anyway. He was afraid that the Brook family might blackmail him in the future, so he asked the lawyer
to fill in the reason.
That was exactly the reason why the Brook family was now trapped in a dilemma.
If that piece of land hadn't been put into production, she would have given it to Samuel.
Now, it had found its own developer and other partners, and the contract had also been signed. A large
sum of money had been invested in it. They were only one step close to start working and earn money.
At this critical moment, Samuel suddenly made trouble for them, and it was simply killing the Brook
family.
Although the Brook family’s working capital wasn't entirely dependent on this project, Rachel still felt
distressed.
She got screwed. Anyone would feel bitter. What’s more, it just so happened that Samuel had a good
reason for this. After giving them the land, the grandson of their family, Allen, actually secretly bought
Nicole and hid her away.
It would be fine if Allen did all those things secretly, but Samuel had evidence now.
Rachel wished she could kill Allen with the cane in her hand.
Now that she heard the housekeeper talk about this matter again, Rachel rolled her eyes and fainted.
The housekeeper was so scared that his face turned pale. He hurriedly pinched Rachel's philtrum and
then called the family doctor. Finally, after a long time, Rachel woke up. Then, someone came to report
that Samuel had come.
Rachel felt so distressed that she could barely breathe.
She had been a businesswoman for a lifetime, but she had never met someone as gloomy as Samuel.
“I won't see him! Just say that I'm seriously ill and refuse to meet any guests.”
The last person Rachel wanted to see was Samuel.
However, Samuel couldn't care less. He directly rushed in.
“Elder Rachel, what do you mean?"
Samuel walked in. His cold voice made Rachel want to faint again. Unfortunately, she could not
pretend because Samuel had already arrived in front of her.
“I heard that you are ill, so I specially invited a doctor to take a look at you. Are you feeling better now?”
Samuel smiled faintly. He looked polite, but Rachel had already cursed him a hundred times in secret.
Profiteer!
However, Rachel still put on a smile.
“Mr. Green, what brings you here?”
“Something evil.”
Samuel smiled faintly, and then his face suddenly sank.
“Elder Rachel, we are all businessmen. We value in integrity. When you asked for that piece of land in
the south, we have already made it clear. We've decided to forget about what your family has done to
Nicole in the past. Our two families did not owe each other anything anymore. You even promised me
that you would discipline your grandson properly and not let him do anything excessive to my wife. But
now, your grandson has imprisoned my wife. You have to give me an explanation, right? Don't tell me
that your family wants my land, and also my people.”
Samuel spoke in a low and calm voice, but his words were like a loud slap given to Rachel's face in
public.
Rachel felt extremely embarrassed.
“Mr. Green, my grandson has grown up. He doesn't listen to me anymore. I really have no idea what
he's doing outside. I've got someone to look for him. He's not back yet, is he?”
“Elder Rachel, you're wrong. You didn’t say that when you asked me for that piece of land.”
Samuel’s look was somewhat pressuring.
Rachel was speechless, her old face flushed red.
“The Brook family also has some reputation. Allen can find any woman he likes. Why does he insist on
being together with my wife? You also know that Nicole is my wife, and she even gave birth to a pair of
children. Even if you don't dislike Nicole, you should ask about her opinion first, right? I heard that
Nicole was forcibly retained by your grandson. If she really has feelings for your grandson Allen, I won't
force her to come back to me. However, Nicole and I are close to each other. Are you bullying us? Or
do you think we are cowards?”
The more Samuel spoke, the colder his voice became. Cold sweat dripped down Rachel's face.
When had she ever suffered such an insult in her life?
However, all of this made it impossible for her to defend herself. She didn’t know how she could vent
her anger. She saw the housekeeper standing at the side, and immediately became furious, saying,
“Why are you still standing there? Call that disgraceful grandson and tell him that I'm going to die. Tell
him return to mourn!”
Rachel was really angry.
Hearing this, the housekeeper hurriedly rushed to call Allen.
Allen was drunk. Seeing that he got a call from the family, he was annoyed and didn't plan to answer it.
But his phone kept ringing. He became upset.
“What?”
He angrily answered the phone and said.
The housekeeper trembled and said, “Mr. Brook, hurry back. Mr. Green is here, and Elder Rachel is
extremely angry. She said that if you don't come back, you can just wait to see her corpse.”
Although it wasn't good to say that, the housekeeper had no choice.
These days, Rachel was in poor health. She had a heart disease. If she fainted from excitement... The
housekeeper didn't have the courage to think about it any longer.
Moreover, Samuel was not an easy-going person. Naturally, the housekeeper hoped that Allen would
come back and take charge of the overall situation.
When Allen heard that Samuel had arrived at the Green family’s old mansion, he narrowed his eyes
and said, “I'm going back now.”
After hanging up the phone, Allen looked at himself in the mirror and smiled bitterly, “Allen, Allen, how
did you end up like this? Do you want Samuel to see you like this?”
He smashed the mirror with a punch, and then quickly tidied himself up. He changed his clothes before
leaving the room.
Not long after, Allen returned to the Brook family’s old mansion.
Samuel sat on the sofa leisurely drinking tea, while Rachel was on the verge of going furious.
Seeing Allen return, Rachel deserted all her politeness. With Samuel here, she directly threw a cup in
front of her towards Allen.
“You useless bastard! You still have the face to come back?”
Allen hurriedly dodged. When he saw Samuel looking at him mockingly, his look became gloomy.
He said, “Mr. Green, what do you mean?”
“I also want to know what you mean, Mr. Brook. You didn’t hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy my
wife and imprison her. I have 100 million to offer you now. I hope Mr. Brook can let my wife go. I think
we are all influential people, so we shouldn't go to the police station.”
Samuel’s words infuriated Allen.
“Samuel, don't you feel guilty about saying that? I did buy Nicole, but she was kidnapped.”
“Do you think I'll believe you words?”
Samuel suddenly stood up and directly confronted Allen.
Allen sneered and said, “Should I thank you, Mr. Green? Since you've taken her back, why bother
coming here to cause trouble? Mr. Green, you're not doing this right.”
“If I really found my wife, how could I still be here? Allen, I know how you feel about Nicole. I've known
about it since college, but Nicole married me. You don’t want to give up. I am grateful to you for what
happened five years ago. To thank you, I've withdrawn all our family business from the United States. I
even gave you a piece of land. But what now? You have got the benefits, but you are secretly
imprisoning my wife. What do you mean?”
Samuel's aggressive words finally angered Allen.
“Don't fool us. No one knows better than you where Nicole is right now. Samuel, this is America, not the
Seapolis City! Stop playing hooligan here!”
The fire between Allen and Samuel was on the verge of exploding.
At this moment, Allen's phone suddenly rang.
He pressed on the answer button without thinking.
“What is it?”
“Mr. Brook, this is bad. Miss Nicole has escaped.”
It was a call from Allen's secretary. The room was quiet, so everyone could hear it.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Allen was furious. He didn’t know what was going on with his secretary. On the other hand, Rachel’s
face was extremely ugly.
“Allen, do you really want to give up our family business because of a woman?”
“No, Grandma. Nicole has already been rescued. This is not true!”
Allen wanted to explain, but Samuel sneered and said to him, “She is your secretary, right? Why would
she lie?”
The moment Samuel said those words, everyone's expressions turned ugly.
Secretary Cole had been with Allen for many years. After graduating from university, she had been
working for him. Everyone knew that Cole liked Allen. She was the only one who could never betray
Allen.
And this phone call was exactly from her. Under this situation, Rachel almost fainted again.
“Son of a bitch! Tell the truth! Where did you trap Miss Nicole, Mrs. Green?”
“I didn’t, Grandma!”
Allen felt that he was extremely wronged.
He didn't know why Cole made such a call to him. He wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't.
Samuel said coldly, “It’s OK if Nicole is fine. If anything happens to her, I'll never let your family get
away with it. Don't blame me then!”
With that, he turned around and left angrily.
Rachel felt that it was difficult to breathe, so she hurriedly asked the housekeeper to bring her some
water and medicine.
Allen realized that Rachel was not pretending, so he hurriedly stepped forward.
“Grandma, please believe me. Although I did secretly buy Nicole and imprisoned her for a few days,
she was really rescued by someone else. I suspect that it was Samuel. I thought he was looking for
trouble on purpose!”
Hearing this, Rachel could not bear it anymore. She slapped hard on Allen's face. Allen’s face started
to burn, and he sensed the smell of rust from his mouth.
