Nicole felt as if her heart was torn apart.
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Let's go, lady.”
Finn knew she was upset, but there was nothing he could do. They were at the dock. If they were too
eye-catching, Zoe and the others could be at risk.
Nicole suppressed her sorrow, nodded, and followed Finn out of the dock.
“Where are we going?”
“Where Samuel is.”
Nicole knew it was useless for her to continue hiding.
This war which had started because of her was bound to end by her.
Nicole asked Finn to stop at the Fallen Angel Club. She got off and drove her own car to Samuel's
place.
When Allen heard Charlotte was injured and unconscious, he knew something might have happened to
her.
He was anxious, but Samuel kept pestering him, making him unable to get away.
Just as they were about to fight, Secretary Cole ran over and said to Allen, “Mr. Brook, our factory in
the north caught fire due to unknown causes.”
Allen shot his gaze at Samuel.
Samuel's eyes turned cold.
“Did you do it?”
“I don’t know what you're talking about.”
Samuel felt uneasy when he knew Nicole went to see Charlotte alone, but he couldn't go with her, so
he asked Jacob to create a little chaos, hoping to buy Nicole some time so that she could leave safely.
Now that he heard Secretary Cole's words, Samuel knew his plan had worked.
Allen wished he could kill Samuel now. Unfortunately, with the reporters here, he could do nothing.
They were deadlocked.
The next moment Jacob came with his men.
“Mr. Green.”
Seeing Jacob's men, Allen became even more dumbfounded.
“Go check up on Charlotte in the villa, now.”
Allen sent Secretary Cole away.
Viola saw Samuel in the crowd. Before she could step forward, she thought of her disfigured face and
felt resentful.
How pitiful her face was disfigured at this very moment!
Her dream lover was right in front of her, but she couldn't stand beside him in public.
Allen looked at Samuel and sneered. “You're a crafty man.”
“I'm flattered. I can't compare with you.”
Samuel sneered too.
“Do you still remember our cooperation?”
Allen suddenly mentioned the car cooperation case.
Samuel, not knowing Allen's intentions, said coldly, “If I recall correctly, the Brook Group has withdrawn
this case. Moreover, the ownership of Catherine's design has been taken back by the Brooks. Now
you're planning to cooperate again?”
Allen smiled nonchalantly and said, “What cooperation are we talking about? The blueprints were
designed by Catherine. Although we have the blueprints back, Catherine has been kept by you. What a
perfect plan.”
“Don't worry, Mr. Brook. The blueprints returned to the Brook Group will never appear in the Greens’
Eternal Group.”
Suddenly, Nicole appeared from the crowd and walked toward them.
When Allen saw Nicole, he was astonished.
Though he knew his plan had failed, he didn't expect Nicole to come here, and he didn't expect her to
be so quick.
Samuel also frowned when he saw Nicole.
Didn't she know how dangerous this place was?
What was she doing here?
Samuel and Allen walked toward Nicole simultaneously.
Nicole did not look at Samuel. Instead, she looked straight at Allen and said with a smile, “Long time no
see, Mr. Brook.”
The address froze Allen.
He realized that although Nicole was smiling, her smile was not genuine.
There was a trace of coldness and alienation in her eyes.
Nicole hadn't looked at him in that way even when she had been brought from the Fallen Angel Club to
the villa to be imprisoned. Now her gaze made Allen retreat.
What did she find?
Or did Charlotte say something?
Allen’s mind was in high gear.
Samuel came to Nicole's side and guarded her.
“Why are you here? Are you hurt?”
Samuel's eyes were so concerned and anxious that the coldness in Nicole's eyes slowly faded away.
She smiled and said, “I’m fine. Your mom, my parents, and the children have left the United States. I’m
the only one here. Whatever you do, Ill be with you. From now on, we'll be one.”
Nicole's words surprised Samuel.
He didn't expect Nicole to act so fiercely, and he knew how she did it.
“Are the Night Elf Empire here?“
“Some of them are.”
The couple talked in a voice that only they could hear. They were as sweet as honey in the eyes of the
others.
This scene hurt Allen.
“Catherine, you're the designer of the Brook Group. Are you leaving the company that has nurtured you
for five years after a cooperation case?”
Allen didn’t want to say it, but now that he saw the affection between Nicole and Samuel, he was driven
crazy by jealousy.
He must use public opinion to suppress them! They couldn't be together! Absolutely not!
When Nicole heard Allen's words, she knew what he wanted to do.
She just didn’t understand. Allen had been so gentle and elegant for five years. Was he faking it?
Or did jealousy make a person so hateful?
Samuel wanted to say something, but Nicole stopped him.
She looked at Allen and said word by word, “Mr. Brook, if I recall correctly, I have resigned from the
Brook Group. I'm grateful for the company’s nurture over the past five years. And I have repaid the
Brook Group accordingly, haven't 1?”
“What are you referring to? Those blueprints? Do you know how much the group has paid for you in the
past five years?”
What Allen really wanted to ask was “do you know how much I have devoted to you in the past five
years? How would you repay me?”
Nicole smiled, and turned to look at the reporters around.
“You must be curious about my identity. Let me tell you a story.”
“Catherine, I'll ignore anything you did and do whatever you want as long as you come back. Okay?"
Allen tried to interrupt her. A hint of nervousness and anxiety appeared on his face.
He couldn't let Nicole reveal her identity in public. Otherwise, he would lose all his hope.
But Nicole had already made up her mind.
She had concealed her identity to avoid Samuel in the early years. Now that Samuel and she were in
love and tied together for the sake of their children, what Allen had done to her and the children
exceeded her bottom line.
She could no longer remain silent.
Nicole's eyes were filled with decisiveness.
She said word by word, “I am Nicole, Samuel's wife who died in a fire five years ago!"
The crowd burst into an uproar at Nicole's words. Allen's body staggered and almost fell.
She said it!
In the end, she said it for Samuel!
She knew once her identity was revealed, she and Allen could never possibly be together. But she still
shattered his last dream ruthlessly.
Why?
Why could she trample on his love for Samuel's sake?
Allen stared fixedly at Nicole. His eyes were like a serpent, making Nicole feel cold.
Nicole knew that from this moment on, there would be no way for her and Allen to be friendly.
But Nicole said firmly, “Five years ago, my husband Samuel sent me abroad to recuperate. But
someone set a fire that almost burned me and my unborn children dead. Fortunately, Mr. Brook saved
me and brought me to the United States. Not only did he help me give birth safely, but he also treated
my injuries and face, and even recruited me as the designer of the Brook Group. I am very grateful to
Mr. Brook.”
“I don't want your gratitude.”
“I know. How could a noble and great person like Mr. Brook share the same feeling with an ordinary
person like me?”
Nicole complimented Allen. Before Allen could say anything, she smiled and said, “As the designer of
the Brook Group, I worked diligently for the benefit of the Brook Group to repay Mr. Brook for saving my
life. In the cooperation case with the Greens’ Eternal Group, I learned the truth of what had happened
back then, and I knew my husband had been looking for me and the children for five years. My
husband and I are deeply in love. But I couldn't let Mr. Brook down. So my husband Samuel took the
initiative to withdraw from the car cooperation and gave the high-valued land in the southern suburbs of
the United States to the Brooks free of charge to repay Mr. Brook for saving my life. Madame Brook
can testify it. I have a contract signed by the Brooks and my husband.”
As she spoke, Nicole took out a copy of the contract.
The deal had been made secretly, but Nicole brought it to light. The faces of the Brooks changed.
Allen looked at Nicole. He didn’t expect she would go so far for Samuel.
“Catherine, you'd better know what you're doing.”
“Of course I do. My husband and I, and even the entire Green family, were very grateful to Mr. Brook
and the Brooks for saving my life. However, Mr. Brook later kidnapped me while I was returning home,
and even sold me to the United States in the form of human trafficking. After that, he bought me like a
savior and imprisoned me. My husband fought against the Brooks only to save me. All these incidents
were well documented. I wonder if Mr. Brook wants to deny it.”
Nicole confronted Allen, exposing all his dirty tricks to the public.
Everyone was surprised and looked at Allen.
Could this gentle and elegant man be like what Nicole said?
