"What did you say?"
Samuel thought he had misheard.
Nicole cared for their children so much that she was able to sacrifice herself. How could she abandon
them?
Did she issue a divorce agreement?
How could she do it?
How did she dare to do it?
Samuel was so angry that he got chest pains. He kept calling Nicole, but he failed to reach her. It
seemed like she was deliberately avoiding him.
Why did she avoid him?
He was her husband. Shouldn't they bear the difficulty together?
When it happened, did she think she could disassociate herself from the Greens by issuing such a
divorce agreement?
Moreover, the journalists didn't dare to go too far when she was a Green. If she divorced him, she
would be in danger.
Did she know it?
Samuel was so anxious. But he couldn't get in touch with Nicole.
He put down his phone angrily. After some pondering, he picked it up again and called Jacob.
"Did Olivia see Nicole today?"
"No. We're looking for Mrs. Green as well. Olivia is anxious. We've searched everywhere possible, but
we don't see her."
There came Olivia's cries through the phone. Obviously, Olivia failed to reach Nicole.
Olivia didn't know Nicole's location. Then, where was Nicole?
Samuel tried his best to figure out where she was, but he failed.
Nicole kept being trending online.
Even though the Greens had strived to stop the coverage of the incident and delete the photos, Nicole
remained a hot topic. It was obvious that there were people stirring up trouble behind the event.
Who?
Who would frame Nicole?
All of a sudden, Tim occurred to Samuel.
Did he frame Nicole?
Although Tim cherished Nicole's reputation and wouldn't do such a thing, he probably would be
exploited again. Last time, Nicole had suffered a lot because of his phone being used.
Thinking of it, Samuel drove to Tim's company.
However, Tim was not in the company.
Samuel narrowed his eyes.
"Where's Tim?"
Samuel asked Tim's secretary with a straight face.
The secretary said in fear, "Mr. Green, I don't know his whereabouts. Mr. Louis didn't come to the
company this morning. He has been in conflict with his father and is fractious. He is always absent
recently."
Samuel heard about Tim's conflict with his father, so he found the secretary's words credible. However,
he had to see Tim.
Samuel asked Jacob to look for Tim.
Not long after, Jacob told him that Tim was gambling at a casino.
Hearing his remarks, Samuel frowned slightly.
He didn't like go to casinos. And he didn't expect that Tim would allow himself to gamble.
In order to find out the truth, he had to drive to the casino.
In the casino, there were all kinds of people. Some cried because of losing money, and some risked
everything for gamble. It was noisy.
One was able to experience extreme emotions here.
When Samuel and Jacob arrived at the casino, they felt disgusted at the scene inside.
"Mr. Green, you can wait for me outside. I'll pull Tim out."
"No need. There are many people here. Let's go in and talk."
Samuel and Jacob entered the casino.
Except gamble, people in the casino didn't care about anything. It probably was the only place in the
Seapolis City where people didn't see the news.
Samuel and Jacob quickly went up to the second floor.
On the second floor, there were rooms one by one. In every room, there were people gambling. When
a game over, one could win or lose millions of francs or even more.
When Samuel and Jacob see Tim, he was happy because of winning money.
"Tim! Stop!"
Samuel took a step forward and stopped Tim from placing a bet.
"What are you doing? I'm playing cards. Why do you bother me, Mr. Green?"
Tim looked utterly dispirited.
Although he had won a lot of money, he looked tired. He clearly had a hard time living in the Louis'
recently. When he saw Jacob behind Samuel, Tim became black in the face.
"Mr. Green, are you going to help Jacob fight against me?"
Samuel ignored his sarcasm. He directly motioned Jacob to pull Tim out.
"Let go of me! Jacob, look, I'll hit back!"
Jacob didn't let go of Tim until they left the second floor and went to a private room in the third floor.
Tim lolled on the sofa and said, "What are you guys doing? If you want to compete with me over the
Louis family, I won't satisfy you. I'll never give up what belongs to me to Jacob. He is an illegitimate
child."
Samuel could tell that Tim probably didn't know what happened to Nicole from his response. He asked
Tim to confirm.
"Do you know the news?"
"Is it about me?"
Samuel failed to answer him.
In fact, the incident didn't have much to do with Tim. However, the source of the nude photos was his
phone.
"Give me your phone!"
"Why? Are you a cop? Why should I give it to you as you said?"
Before Tim finished speaking, Samuel directly snatched his phone.
"Samuel! Don't go too far!"
Tim wanted to snatch the phone back, but he was not Samuel's match.
Samuel unlocked his phone easily.
It cost him only a few minutes.
Seeing that there were no nude photos of Nicole, Samuel frowned slightly.
"Did Nicole reach you?"
"Nicole?"
Tim cleared his ears, wondering if he had misheard.
"Mr. Green, do you think Nicole will come to me after what happened to Olivia? I'm an unlucky wretch,
as I can't prove myself innocent. What else can I do? What do you mean? What's wrong with Nicole?"
Tim suddenly sat up, looking nervous.
Seeing his movement, Samuel threw his phone back to him. Then, he got up and left.
"Samuel, stop! What happened to Nicole? What did you do to her?"
Tim seemed to be so angry that he would risk his life to help Nicole. Samuel was busy and ignored
Tim.
"You don't need to worry about her. If you see her, call me as soon as possible."
After saying that, Samuel left with Jacob.
"Samuel, what happened? Tell me! What exactly happened?"
Tim shouted at the door. However, Samuel and Jacob ignored him and left soon.
Not long after they left, Tim went to the next room.
In the room, Nicole sat still. Tim didn't know what she was thinking.
"Listen, Samuel was here. Are you determined to stay here? There are all kinds of people here.
Although you can escape from the news and journalists, you are a girl and you can't stay here for a
long time. Moreover, Samuel is smart. I'm not sure I've deceived him. He is desperate to find you. Are
you sure you don't want to meet him? I heard that the Green's was surrounded by journalists. Samuel
claimed that you are innocent and the Greens will help you. So, I advise you to reconsider. What's your
opinion?"
"If I have caused you trouble, I'll leave."
Nicole said in a hoarse voice.
Tim was panic.
"Of course not! I'm afraid that you'll be in danger. Besides, I can tell that Samuel is worried about you. I
suggest you let him know where you are."
"As I said, I'll never see you again if you let Samuel know my location."
Nicole's words caused Tim to shut up.
"Alright. I won't tell him. What do you want to eat? I'll buy some food for you."
"I have no appetite. Please bring me a computer or a phone card. I can't use my former card."
"Alright."
After finishing speaking, Tim left the room.
Nicole leaned against the bed. She knew Samuel and Jacob came just now. She tried not to care about
Samuel. But when she heard his voice, she was distressed.
Why did he look for her?
Since he despised her, why did he look for her?
Wouldn't it be better for her to make the decision for him if he was softhearted?
Nicole's eyes were filled with tears.
She remembered Samuel's proposal to her. Looking at the ring on her finger, which demonstrated they
viewed each other as their lifelong partner, she found it especially ironic.
If Samuel had told her about the photos from the outset, she perhaps wouldn't woolgather.
However, he did not ask her. Besides, he had a fight with Tim. What did that mean?
It meant that Samuel cared about the photos!
He was extremely angry about the photos!
However, he didn't show it and treated her as same as before. How could she endure that?
No matter how hard he tried to control himself, he cared about the photos. Otherwise, why would he
take the medicine? Wasn't it because of the photos that he would rather take the medicine than be
close with her?
The more Nicole thought, the more uncomfortable she felt. She felt hurt as well.
When she thought of Samuel, she felt she was going to suffocate.
Tim was right. She couldn't hide in the casino all the time. Although she was able to protect herself
from journalists here, she needed to work out a solution.
She had to find out who was behind the incident and going to destroy her and the Greens!
She absolutely was not the sole target.
Nicole was unable to go out and use her own phone. She could only investigate through computer.
Moreover, she didn't know whether Lucas and the others saw the news or not. She was worried if they
could bear pressure.
Thinking of her children, Nicole was anxious. She would never allow anyone to hurt her family!
No way!
