“It was you?”
How could Allen not know what had happened right now?
Samuel only sneered and didn’t even bother to say anything.
Allen could see that Samuel was covered in wounds. Although the wounds on his arms had been
treated, they weren't taken much care of. Blood oozed out from his white shirt, looking a little scary.
The bruise on the back of his hand was eye-catching, while the blood hadn't dried up yet. Obviously, he
had just come here from the hospital.
Allen said coldly, "Do you really think that you can shake the entire establishment of the Brooks all by
yourself? Samuel
Green, your ignorant pride is just a joke.”
Samuel finally moved.
He grabbed Allen's arm, twisted it, and pushed him against the wall, saying coldly, "If Nicole is still
alive, I might show some
mercy to you. After all, five years ago, you saved her life, and you had feelings for my children. So no
matter what you did, I could pretend that I didn’t know. But you've gone too far. I had no choice but to
fight back. Even so, I still left you a last chance. But Allen, for all that you've done, you shouldn't touch
my Nicole. You shouldn't let Charlotte bring her to the Back Sea. And you shouldn't leave her in such
peril. Don't you know that Nicole is the only reason of your survival? Now that she is no longer here,
why do you think you can still make fortunes on this land? I may not be able to shake the Brooks all by
myself, but what if all the venture capital firms just decided to join hands? How much money do you
think the Brooks has to fight against them?"
Allen’s expression changed at the last sentence.
“It's impossible! No venture capital company will cooperate with others. Let alone all of them joining
hands. You don't have the power. Absolutely impossible!"
Samuel sneered, “What if I don't want the shares of the Brooks? And I can even pay them for that. Do
you think they will still
stick to their so-called principle?”
“Samuel, are you out of your mind? What's in it for you? You'll be seriously damaged too if you insist on
doing so. By the time the Brooks is destroyed, the Greens will be on its last legs. What are you doing?"
“What am I doing? Nicole is dead. I want you and the Brooks to go with her, even if the price is the
Greens! If it weren't for
you, Nicole and I would have returned to the Seapolis City and lead a happy life by now. But because
of you, she lost her identity and became an illegal resident. She had no choice but to hide, but was
later plotted against. If you hadn't insisted on forcing her, would she be dead now? Allen, you've been
relying on the Brooks power in the States to suppress me. And you even hired a killer to murder my
daughter. If Nicole is still alive, I might settle these scores with you secretly and slowly. But now, not a
chance.”
Samuel released Allen after he finished the words.
Allen felt that his arm was about to break.
Apparently, Samuel didn’t show any mercy to him just now, and even wished he could tear off this arm.
Allen smiled in tears, "Do you think I want this? No! I don't want anything to happen to Nicole more than
anyone else. When I
saved her from the fire five years ago, she became mine. I was the one who changed her identity and
gave her a new life. If it weren't for Zoe needing a kidney, Nicole and I would be happiest now. Samuel,
it was YOU who destroyed everything. YOU snatched her away from me.”
"Nicole was for no one to snatch, because she had always loved me. If she really liked you, you had a
lot of opportunities in the past five years, but you didn't stand a chance, did you? Nicole had refused
you for five years, so you should let go. Allen, it's fine to love someone, but in the name of love, you
kept hurting her. How could you say you love her? If Nicole really chose you, I would definitely not
interfere and force her to stay by my side. However, the person she loved is me, and the person she
chose is also me! You always wanted to keep her by your side. Now that Nicole’s gone, you and the
Brooks have to pay the price!”
Saying that, Samuel directly sat back on the chair.
There was a laptop in front of him, and the numbers on the screen were more than familiar to Allen.
His eyes trembled.
“I won't let you succeed! Absolutely not! The Brooks’ hundred years of patrimony wouldn't be so easy
to destroy. Samuel Green, we'll see.”
“You don't stand a chance!”
With that, Samuel ignored Allen.
Allen didn’t know what he meant, but he didn’t want to stay here anymore. Now it was clear that
Samuel had joined forces with all the venture capital companies to disrupt the trading. This was illegal,
a felony!
As long as he sued Samuel and found the evidence that Samuel was working with these venture
capital firms, Samuel would be aced.
Allen turned around and left.
He didn't have time to argue with Samuel right now.
At this moment, he realized that to him, the Brooks was still the most important.
Samuel could seek justice for Nicole at the expense of the Greens, not him.
He couldn't give up the Brooks for Nicole's justice!
He couldn't!
When Allen realized that he was choosing between the Brooks and Nicole, he suddenly felt that he was
quite ridiculous.
Back then, he told Nicole that he liked her and wanted to marry her. Regardless of the attitude of the
Brooks, whether they agreed or not, he insisted on marrying He didn't have Samuel courage.
Samuel knew that this was illegal. He knew that doing so would put him under the risk of imprisonment,
and even put the Greens in danger. But he did so, anyway.
Allen was unwilling to admit defeat, but he couldn't say anything.
He got back home and told it all to Rachel. The latter was so vexed that she almost beat him to death
with her cane.
“Just for a woman, you put the Brooks in this state. Mr. Brook, if the Brooks really lost, do you dare to
face the ancestors of the Brooks? For all these years, was it easy for us to blaze a trail in the United
States? If I had known five years ago that the woman you saved would be such a peril, I would have
strangled her to death immediately. I would not have let you indulge in the woman for five years and
risk the Brooks in danger in the end!”
Rachel's words were a little piercing to Allen.
“Grandma, Nicole is already dead. Can you just have some respect for her?"
“Respect? Who would respect the Brooks? If it weren't for her, would Samuel target us? Would we be
like this?"
“Alright! This is already the case. What's the point of arguing? The most important thing right now is to
find out the evidence that Samuel and the venture capital companies are colluding to disrupt the
trading. There is still a sliver of hope for us.”
Allen quickly asked the butler to investigate on that matter, but at this moment, a team of people came
in.
“Elder, they say they are here for Mr. Brook. We can't stop them.”
The servant said wrongly.
Rachel was slightly stunned. Allen turned around and felt somewhat uneasy when he saw that they
were from the Procuratorate.
“Is there anything I can do for you?"
“Mr. Allen, we have a case here and need you to go with us for investigation.”
The Procuratorate team wouldn't come for no reason. As long as they were here, they often had an
arrest warrant. In other words, they had more or less some evidence.
Allen frowned.
“I need to call my lawyer.”
“Sure, but you have to go with us first.”
Rachel was stunned.
“What's going on? Why does Allen have to go with you? What's wrong with you? You should look for
Samuel Green now, not him.”
Rachel directly protected Allen behind her.
Allen only felt his nose somewhat sour.
His grandma was about seventy years old this year. She had worked all her life for the Brooks, and
now she still had to be infuriated because of him, this shitty grandson.
He was too bad a grandson.
Allen grabbed Rachel's hand and said, "Grandma, it’s nothing. Don’t worry, I'll be fine.”
“Nothing? Why would the prosecutor's office send people here for nothing? What happened? What did
you do?"
Only then did Rachel realize that her grandson was really out of her control. She didn’t even know what
he was doing outside.
Allen smiled and said, "It’s alright. Butler, take care of grandma for me.”
"Yes, Young Master."
The butler’s eyes were a little red.
“Let's go!"
However, the people from the Procuratorate didn't have the time to watch this scene and uttered coldly.
Allen had to leave with them, but before leaving, he told the butler, "No matter what happens to the
Brooks, just take Grandma to the villa in the suburbs. That's not a Brooks’ property. So even if the
Brooks goes bankrupt, that place wouldn't be sealed up. Then go to Secretary Cole. She'll keep
grandma financially sound.’
“Young Master, what are you talking about? What bankruptcy?”
Hearing the words, Rachel nearly collapsed.
Allen wasn't a big mouth, which she could be sure of. But now he was actually talking about
bankruptcy?
Maybe the Brooks really couldn't make it through this time?
“Allen, what exactly happened?”
Facing Rachel's questioning, Allen didn't say anything and left with the team of people.
Before he could find any evidence of Samuel and the venture capital companies colluding, the
Procuratorate had come to him first. Obviously, Samuel had planned all of this.
When Allen got in the car, he suddenly saw Samuel sneering at him in the car not far away.
It was as if everything was under his control, which made Allen somewhat annoyed.
In the end, he still lost.
Not only did he lose Nicole, he also lost the Brooks. If a second chance was granted, would he still be
so obsessed?
