"I'll answer the phone!" Nicole suddenly said.
Her tone sounded a little unnatural, and Samuel was quite startled by her reaction.
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
"I don't know, but I suddenly feel uneasy, as if something bad will happen after I answer the phone."
Nicole did not hide her true feelings from Samuel.
She felt quite strange about her hunch, but she just couldn't help being nervous.
Seeing her like this, Samuel held her in his arms and whispered, "It's fine. I'm with you. No matter what
happens, I'll be by your side."
"OK!"
Nicole nodded in agreement. However, she still stared at the phone. Taking a deep breath, she seemed
to have mustered up her courage. Then she picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
She didn't even notice that her voice was trembling from nervousness.
Samuel's heart ached when he saw her like this. He wanted to answer the phone for her, but then
Jacob's anxious voice sounded.
"Madam, where is Mr. Green?"
"What happened?"
Since the call was from Jacob, Nicole became more unsettled.
Jacob said in a hurry, "Not long after we left the villa, we were followed by some people. At the corner,
the car behind us suddenly caught up and forced us to stop. Madam, I'm sorry. It was all my fault. I tried
my best to protect Laurel and Lucas, but I didn't expect them to take away Zoe without my noticing. I'm
so sorry. Madam, you can punish me at will."
Nicole's hand trembled uncontrollably, and the phone instantly fell to the floor.
"Madam, I've already informed the Greens to come pick up Laurel and Lucas. I will surely find Miss
Zoe's whereabouts!"
Jacob continued, but Nicole almost fainted.
"Zoe ... Zoe was snatched away by someone!"
She suddenly grabbed Samuel's arm, with her eyes full of tears.
Not long ago, her daughter was still enjoying her meal in this villa, and she teased that Lucas was rigid
like an old man. Nicole even had the illusion that Zoe was still by her side now. How could she be
snatched away by someone?
Seeing that Nicole was about to faint, Samuel quickly helped her up.
"Don't worry. I am with you now. I'll send someone out to chase after them."
Samuel picked up the phone and said to Jacob, "You must protect Laurel and Lucas. Do you have any
idea who did this?"
"I'm not sure, but judging from their fast and agile movements, I guess they are retired soldiers. Mr.
Green, you know that few people can be able to take anyone away from me. However, there are too
many of them and each one has great fighting skills. I'm afraid they've received professional training."
By saying that, Jacob reminded Nicole of a person.
"Is it the Don family? In the whole Seapolis City, only the Dons have so many highly-skilled people."
Nicole grabbed Samuel's shoulders.
"Samuel, it's absolutely the Don family! You took measures to hinder the growth of their business, and I
disobeyed Mrs. Don by refusing to divorce you. She said that she would make me regret it! It must be
the Dons who kidnapped Zoe, with the purpose of forcing me to submit!"
The more Nicole thought about this, the more she felt that it was possible.
For the sake of Viola's happiness, Mrs. Don wanted her to marry Samuel. However, Nicole didn't agree
to divorce. What was worse, the Greens retaliated against the Dons in the business circle, causing their
company's stock price to plummet. Jason came to tell her that Mrs. Don had fallen ill, but perhaps they
were deceiving her into going to the Don’s. In that case, Mrs. Don would force her to divorce so that
Viola could have a greater chance to marry Samuel.
However, she didn't show up, nor did Samuel play nice with Jason. As a result, driven by great anxiety,
Mrs. Don got desperate and kidnapped Zoe.
Yes!
It must be like this!
"I want to go to the Don’s! I want my daughter back!"
Nicole was like a madwoman now. She stood up from the bed and was about to walk out, but she was
pulled by Samuel.
"Nicole, calm down. We still need to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"Investigate what? Zoe is my daughter! Only the Dons have the motive and ability to do this! Even Swift
is incapable of hiring so many highly-skilled people to carry out this plan. Mrs. Don is forcing me to give
in! For Viola's sake, she wants to use my daughter's life to threaten me!"
Nicole seemed to be crazy, and she could not listen to anyone now.
After all, Zoe was her biological daughter.
In these five years, Zoe had always been tortured by illness. After recovering, she could finally grow up
happily in the Green’s. However, Nicole didn't expect that she would be kidnapped because of her.
Recalling that Zoe snuggled up to her not long ago, Nicole was overwhelmed with grief.
She always thought that she had enough strength to protect her children from harm, but she was
almost driven crazy by those people time and again.
No matter what, they shouldn't have used her child to threaten her!
Seeing that Nicole was on the verge of going crazy, Samuel quickly got up and hugged her.
"Nicole, calm down. You can't go out or be exposed to the public. God knows how many people are
waiting for you outside. Swift can't wait to see you show up now."
"I don't care about these things now. It's fine if those reporters surround me and ask some annoying
questions. Nothing is more important than my daughter's safety. Since it's getting dark now, they can
take pictures as they like. I have to go to the Don’s and ask my daughter back!"
While saying this, Nicole struggled to leave.
Samuel whispered, "Even if you want to go out, you should put on your shoes and change into a new
set of clothes."
Only after he said that did Nicole realize that she was barefoot and wearing her loose pajamas.
Her clothes were usually changed by Samuel while she was asleep.
After pausing for a moment, she saw Samuel crouch down and help her put on the slippers. Then he
whispered, "After knowing Zoe was taken away, I'm as anxious as you are. Since you've thought of all
this, you should know that as long as you don't show up, they won't harm Zoe. That's why we must
keep our wits now. I know you are worried and anxious, but both Jacob and the Greens are capable
ones. They have already chased after those people, and perhaps they can get Zoe back. All you need
to do now is calm down and change your clothes. You have to be in a better state when meeting the
people outside. Otherwise, after seeing you, they will immediately tell you are in anxiety. In that case,
they will make full use of your weakness. Am I right?"
Although Nicole was anxious, she had to admit that Samuel had a point.
If the Dons took Zoe away, they would contact her. Even if they remained silent, they expected to see
her become anxious.
As long as she lost her mind, she might agree to any excessive request brought up by the Dons.
Thinking of this, Nicole gritted her teeth with anger.
This was the first time she hated the fact that she was a Don.
Why couldn't her family distinguish right from wrong?
Was this Mrs. Don's idea or Viola's?
Nicole didn't know, but she was burning with rage now.
Seeing that Nicole had calmed down, Samuel let go of her hand and said, "Honey, listen to me. Go
take a shower and change your clothes. I'll wait for you in the living room downstairs."
"You want to go with me?"
Nicole was surprised to hear this. However, after seeing that Samuel's darkened face, she immediately
regretted asking this.
"Zoe is also my daughter. Since you are not afraid of the reporters' gossips, I will by no means hide at
home regardless of my daughter's missing. Moreover, if the Dons are behind this matter, I'm afraid
they're also waiting for me. The Dons have been in the Seapolis City for quite some time, and it's rather
difficult for them to develop their business. It's my fault to run to an extreme without leaving any hope to
them. That's why they retaliated against us so desperately. I have to go meet them today."
Nicole had mixed feelings at Samuel’s response.
"Do you mean that this matter has something to do with Jason?"
Nicole was reluctant to think that Jason had been involved in this matter.
Although Nicole didn't like Mrs. Don very much, her attitude towards Jason was quite good.
She didn't have a clear idea about Jason's character and style of handling things. If he truly got
involved in the kidnapping, she didn't know if she could take this blow or not.
Samuel patted her shoulder as comfort and said, "Nothing is settled now. It is all our guess. We will
know the truth after reaching the Don’s. So don't overthink it. After you take a shower and change your
clothes, we will immediately head for the Don’s. Perhaps we can know everything after getting there."
Nicole nodded.
She turned around and went to the bathroom, but her heart was a mess now.
Was it really the Don family?
However, apart from the Dons, no one else was able to do such a thing.
Moreover, only the Dons knew that she was in Samuel's villa now. Who else would hide themselves in
the vicinity and wait for Laurel and her children to come out early in the morning?
Nicole ruled out many possibilities. She didn't want to doubt the Dons, but she couldn't think of anyone
else who would do this.
After taking a quick shower, Nicole came out. Samuel had already brought her the clothes.
It was the latest casual outfit, which looked quite neat.
Without saying anything, Nicole quickly got dressed and went downstairs.
Holding the phone, Samuel was talking to someone. Looking at his serious expression, Nicole felt a
little depressed.
It had been a long time since he showed such an expression.
Nicole couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Was it possible that Zoe encountered something else she didn't know about?
Thinking of this, Nicole quickly walked downstairs.
"How is it? Have you got any news about Zoe? Did you find them?"
Nicole looked at Samuel anxiously. Seeing her expectant look, Samuel wasn't sure if he should tell her
the truth.
