Nicole immediately became excited, but Audrey held her hands tightly.
“Auntie Audrey ...”
Nicole didn’t say anything more, but her lips twitched. Obviously, she was anxious.
If it wasn’t a construction accident, the situation wouldn't be so unfavorable for Samuel.
Audrey shook her head and motioned for Nicole to wait and see what would happen.
Hearing the woman's words, the driver was also worried.
“Then what shall we do? Lee's corpse can't be buried until this matter is resolved. We have to find a
way to make the court accept this case. Didn't that person say that it's easy to file a lawsuit?”
“How can I know that? Aren't you the one who have contact with that person? When we killed Lee, I
just wanted to swindle some money out of the Eternal Group, and then run away. But you thought the
compensation wasn’t enough and said that that person could give us $1m. But now, the Eternal Group
doesn't compromise. That person hasn't given us a penny, and the
court doesn't accept the lawsuit. Increasing livor mortis appears on Lee's corpse. If other people find
out the truth, we will be sent to prison, let alone getting the money.”
The woman shouted hysterically.
“Shut up! Back then, it was you who knocked Lee to death with a brick. Are you blaming me now?"
The driver was also a little upset.
“Bah! I killed him only because he discovered our affair. Otherwise, I wouldn't kill my husband. You said
that you wanted to marry me, take me away, and let me live a rich life, but now you're saying like that.
Do you want me to bear all the blame? Don't force me into a corner; otherwise, I'll break up with you
and tell them the truth! I warn you! Don't forget that you were the one who threw Lee off the roof! It was
also you who contacted someone to swap the original document of the Eternal Group for a fake one.
Others don't know about this, but I know all the things. There's no way for you to dump me!”
The woman was extremely ferocious at this moment.
Now, Nicole knew what was going on. She regretted not bringing Samuel here.
Audrey pulled her and they quietly retreated.
After getting into the car, Nicole said angrily, “Bastards! Lee discovered their affair so the woman killed
him and her adulterer threw him off the roof, but they are blaming the Eternal Group and they want us
to take the responsibility. How can they be so evil?”
“There are always many bad people. The society is filled with temptations and many people are
seduced. However, they are responsible for what they do and God is watching them. Let's go.”
Audrey started the car and drove off.
Looking at her, Nicole suddenly felt that Audrey was unfathomable. At first, she thought that Audrey
was a painter, or that she painted pictures for a living. But when she found out that Audrey was a
minister, she felt that she was not good at judging people at all.
They returned to the highway.
Audrey asked, “You know how to contact your husband, don't you?”
“Yes, I do.”
“You can meet him somewhere.”
Audrey's words surprised Nicole. She was somewhat worried.
“Auntie, now I don't have an identity. If I contact him, I'm afraid that it will cause some problems.”
“Then tell him to come to the embassy. No one will suspect that you are in the embassy.”
Audrey passed her phone to Nicole, then turned the car around, and drove towards the embassy.
Nicole knew that she was much obliged to Audrey, and a “thank you” couldn't express her gratitude.
She quickly called Samuel.
“Who's that?”
Samuel sounded tired. Obviously, this matter was very troublesome for him.
“It’s me,” Nicole whispered.
“Nicole?”
“Samuel, listen to me. Come to the embassy right now to meet Minister Audrey Shaw.”
Samuel was stunned.
“What do you mean?”
"Come to the embassy and you'll know.”
“Alright.”
Samuel hung up the phone, but Nicole was still worried.
“Auntie Audrey, will someone recognize me?”
“Just follow me. If anyone asks, you can say that you’re my secretary.”
Audrey said calmly. She didn't think it was a big thing.
However, Nicole said worriedly, “But my profile was posted online. Everyone in the embassy should
know me. They ...”
“They won't say anything.”
Audrey said nothing more, so Nicole also kept silent.
Although she didn’t know how much authority Audrey had, at present, it was clear that Audrey wanted
to help her.
Quite soon, they returned to the embassy.
Seeing that it was Audrey's car, the guard allowed it in without checking who were inside.
Audrey took Nicole to her office.
Only then did Nicole find out that Audrey was actually the Foreign Minister.
She was shocked, but didn’t say anything.
When they were in the office, Audrey pointed to the coffee machine and said, "You can make some
coffee for yourself. I prefer tea.”
Nicole immediately understood. She took the tea set and began to make tea.
She was actually not very good at it. However, she once stayed with Jason for some time and watched
him making tea several times, so she learned a little from him.
Watching Nicole making the tea, Audrey was satisfied.
Now, she liked Nicole very much.
"Do you want to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?”
Nicole was surprised.
“Auntie, I'm afraid that’s beyond me.”
Nicole knew herself well. She was only interested in painting and knew nothing about diplomacy.
Audrey said nothing more.
Nicole also liked staying with Audrey silently.
After the water was boiled, a piece of news came.
“Minister Shaw, someone called Samuel is here to see you.”
“Let him in.”
Audrey replied.
Nicole was so eager to see him that even her hands trembled.
Audrey shook her head and said, “What's the hurry? He is just outside the door. Are you afraid that you
can't see them?”
Nicole was a little embarrassed.
She really missed Samuel.
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Audrey said in a flat voice.
When Samuel came in, he immediately noticed Nicole.
He was a little surprised, but he politely nodded to Audrey first and said, “Minister Shaw, are you
looking for me?”
“It's your wife but not me who wants to see you.”
Audrey smiled and then pointed at Nicole beside her.
Nicole immediately blushed.
Samuel was also very excited when he saw Nicole.
He hadn't seen Nicole for several days. He thought that the problem would be solved easily, but he
didn’t expect that it would be so complicated that he wouldn't be able to rest for a while.
“Alright. You can have a chat now. I will have a rest in the inner room.”
Audrey stood up, entered the inner room, and closed the door.
When only Samuel and Nicole were left in the office, Nicole immediately hugged Samuel tightly.
“I miss you so much.”
“I miss you too!”
Samuel felt as if he was dreaming. He felt a little unreal that Nicole was right in his arms.
“Is it really you? Are you really in front of me?”
“Yes, it's me. I am here!”
Nicole raised her eyes and noticed that there was stubble on his chin.
Samuel always paid much attention to his appearance, but this matter made him so haggard. Nicole's
heart ached.
“You've lost weight.”
“You too.”
Samuel smiled. Now, all sorts of troubles were temporarily forgotten. He only wanted to hug his wife.
Nicole stood on tiptoe and kissed Samuel passionately.
Samuel also kissed her wildly.
They thirsted for each other very much. If they were not in Audrey's office, Samuel really wanted to
caress her and occupy her.
When they finished the kiss, they were both a little out of breath.
Nicole leaned against his chest and said, “I really didn't expect Auntie Audrey to be the Foreign
Minister. If it weren't for her, we couldn't see each other.”
“I am surprised too. You are so lucky to meet her.”
“Yeah. I also have something important to tell you.”
Nicole pulled Samuel to sit on the sofa, and then told Samuel what she had seen and heard.
“If it's true, we only need to ask the coroner to examine Lee's corpse and then we will be cleared of the
crime. Right?”
Nicole hurriedly asked.
However, Samuel said in a low voice, “It is not that simple. Didn't the original coroner notice anything
wrong with Lee's corpse? But the report said that Lee died from falling off the roof because our building
material is inferior. I think Allen have bribed both the coroner and other suppliers in advance. Now,
even if we know that Lee was murdered, it’s still very difficult to find out some supporting evidence.
“Then what shall we do? We shouldn't be the scapegoat!”
Nicole was almost furious.
Although they were in Allens territory, he shouldn't bully them like this.
Samuel looked at Nicole gently, stroked her hair, and smiled, “Don't worry about that.”
“How can I calm down? This concerns the Greens’ and your reputation. Didn't you say that the Green
family is also in turmoil now? If this matter isn't resolved as soon as possible, I'm afraid that ...”
"Don't be afraid. Everything is under my control. I'll get to the bottom of the case in one day.”
Looking at the confident Samuel, Nicole was slightly stunned.
“Had you known that before I told you?”
“Yes, Jacob had already found out the truth, but I'm waiting for an opportunity.”
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief, but she whispered, “Why didn't you let me know? You made me
worried, and what I did is in vain.”
‘Not really. At least I know that you care about me deeply. What I’m worried about now is how to give
you an official identity.”
