"Let go of me!"
Nicole ordered in a serious voice, which made Chuck feel compelled to let go of her hand. However, he
still said anxiously, "Mrs. Green, please trust me. I am really with Mr. Bates. He is doing this for Mr.
Green."
"Get out!"
Nicole said coldly. She didn't really want to talk to him.
Chuck was slightly stunned.
"Are you Mrs. Green? Do you really love Mr. Green? Aren't you just worried about him?"
Nicole looked at Chuck. The latter was very emotional. Just as she was about to say something, a
thought suddenly occurred to her and she responded coldly, "It's none of your business. I am now
designer Catherine. If it has nothing to do with work, you should be quiet. I know better than anybody
what kind of people my husband is and his strength, so don't waste your breath."
As she spoke, she returned to work again.
Chuck was stunned for a while before he walked out in frustration.
Nicole looked a little adrift. The design drawing in front of her seemed to have changed into Samuel's
face.
What on earth happened to him?
Where was he?
Unconsciously, Nicole reached out to her phone.
At this moment, Vincent walked in.
"Nicole, lunch coming."
Nicole retracted her hand.
"Why do YOU bring it up?"
"It's okay. I'm just here to see how it's doing, you know, your design drawing. After all, the clients are in
quite a hurry. Please, don't blame me for pressing you, Nicole."
Vincent placed the food in front of Nicole.
Nicole smiled and said, "It's fine. I can finish it by the end of the day."
"That's great!"
Vincent took a look and saw that Nicole's design was indeed better than that of those rookies. Only
then did he feel relieved.
"Then I'll leave you. Please have your lunch before it gets cold."
After that, Vincent left.
Nicole looked at the food in front of her and suddenly lost all appetite.
How could Vincent's visit be such a coincident?
Shortly after Chuck left, he came in. This was obviously a trap, but Nicole did not know if Chuck was
Vincent's guy.
Did he really know Samuel's whereabouts, or was he sent by Vincent to disturb her train of thought?
Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly.
She called Samuel again, but unfortunately, it was still unanswered. She felt a little more uneasy.
Could it be that he had an accident?
Then she thought about Finn and called him. But there was no news from him, either.
Nicole couldn't eat anything, so she just threw all her thoughts into the design.
The rookies came back one after another. Seeing that Nicole was still working, none of them dared to
make a farce. They immediately began to work as Nicole ordered before.
The design department was quite motivated under Nicole's mobilization.
Finally, Nicole finished the original design as it was almost time to get off work.
She stretched a little bit and was going to get herself a cup of water in the coffee bar, when she heard
some noise in the utility room as she passed by.
Nicole stopped.
Someone seemed to be inside!
She opened the door and saw that Chuck was tied up there, gagged and wailing.
She frowned slightly and walked over to take the gag from his mouth.
"Mrs. Green, leave here, quickly!"
Chuck was a little anxious.
Just as Nicole was about to say something, she heard that someone was coming.
She hurriedly stuffed the gag back into Chuck's mouth, then closed the door and found a corner to hide
in.
The door was opened again, and Nicole did not recognize the person who entered. However, it should
be someone from the Eternal Group, as he was wearing the uniform of the company.
When Chuck saw this guy, he appeared a little angry.
The guy looked at Chuck and smiled, "You are really persistent. Chuck, you should know that you won't
get anything working for Mr. Bates, and now your job is gone, too. Mr. Vincent said that as long as you
are willing to tell us where Mr. Bates is, he will offer you the position of sales manager. I heard that your
mother is seriously ill. You need money, don't you? So, you just need to tell us where Mr. Bates is, and
money will not be a problem anymore."
But Chuck shook his head.
The man took the gag from Chuck's mouth and continued, "Why are you so stupid and stubborn? Look,
you've been in the company for three years, and you were nothing but a little assistant. Now, you have
even lost that, too. You know that Mr. Vincent's search for Mr. Bates has nothing to do with you. You
just need to give us an address. That's all. Why can't you see that? And I heard you're looking for Mrs.
Green for help? Why are you so stupid? Mr. Vincent is so good with Mr. Samuel. How could she
believe what you said? So, I advise you to be wise and at least think for yourself, right? If you don't go
home, what would your mother do?"
"You bastard! I warn you! If you dare to touch my mother, I will haunt you forever even if I turn into a
ghost."
Chuck said indignantly, and his eyes turned red.
"Why do you have to put it so savagely? No one has ever thought of ending your life. You still won't tell
us? You must know that this is your last chance. If you don't say it, you may never get to see your
mother again."
Chuck was stunned for a moment before he realized the underlying meaning of the words.
"You will be punished! You will definitely be punished!"
"Unfortunately, you can't live to see it!"
The guy covered Chuck's mouth directly, and then two more people came in and took Chuck away.
Nicole witnessed all of this.
She didn't know if this was real or just a trap Vincent made for her, but she still followed them out
somewhat worriedly.
Those guys avoided all the surveillance cameras on the way and threw Chuck into a van, before they
drove away from the back door.
Nicole immediately called her people and asked them to follow the van and save Chuck if necessary.
Those from the Night Elf Empire who stayed here were to protect her. Now, Nicole could only send
them out.
Having done it, she did not dare to stay any longer and directly went to the tea room to get herself a
cup of coffee. Then, she returned to the design department.
"Where did you go, Nicole?"
Vincent showed up again in the design department and it made Nicole somewhat unpleasant.
"You've come to press me so many times. For what? You don't have confidence in me? Or you're here
for something else? Wait, are you monitoring me?"
Nicole's voice didn't sound very pleasant.
Vincent immediately responded, "No, Nicole, don't get me wrong. I'm just so anxious that I keep
thinking about your progress."
"If you're really anxious, just get me some good designers here. Do you expect to rely on these rookies
in the design department? Where are the former designers?"
Nicole was not as easy-going in workplace as she was at home.
Perhaps it was because of Chuck, or perhaps it was because she hadn't heard anything from Samuel
yet. Nicole felt that there seemed to be no need to just endure.
Vincent was stunned for a moment, but he said instantly, "Well, it's my bad, indeed. But Nicole, you
know that my brother used to run the Eternal Group, and some former employees have been following
him since the beginning. Now that my brother has quit, those guys have, too, voluntarily resigned. I
really can't find a suitable designer for the time being. How about this Nicole, you're very good at
designing. So, I'll leave the design department to you. And it's up to you whether you want to recruit
anyone or whatever. Do you think it's okay?"
Nicole did not expect that Vincent would give her this privilege, but she still whispered, "I do like
designing cars, but you know, I am no longer involved in the work of the Eternal Group."
"Nicole, how could you just abandon what you like so easily? And my brother won't agree either if he
was here. Anyway, you're not busy at home, so please, just help me."
Vincent was very sincere, but Nicole knew that he had other attempts.
"No, your brother and I are going to travel abroad soon. I might not be able to help here. When Samuel
comes back with Lucas, we will leave the Seapolis City. Therefore, you should pay more attention to
the design department yourself. After all, it is your company now. A company cannot last long without a
designer of its own."
After that, she gave the drawing to Vincent.
"This is the blueprint our customers asked for. Please send it over to see if they are satisfied. It's
getting late and I have to go back. You know that I'm not in good health now and I can't stay here for
too long. Besides, I don't really have the time to ponder over this right now. After all, my son's still
missing."
Nicole's words made Vincent slightly stunned, and then he nodded, "Yes, yes, yes. I'm sorry to bother
you, Nicole. Let me arrange someone to send you back."
"No need, I want to walk alone. Maybe I can meet Lucas on the way. Who knows."
Nicole directly rejected his offer.
She had been constantly monitored by Vincent at the Green's. Now that she had finally come out, she
had to put her head above the parapet for once.
Vincent did not stop her this time. He only said, "Then please be careful. And call me when you're
home, so that I can rest assured."
"I see."
Then Nicole left the design department and walked out of the building of the Eternal Group.
She didn't know what Vincent was up to, but she always had the feeling that things were much more
complicated than this.
Swift was taken away by Jacob and Tim. Nicole did not know what he said. She planned to ask, but
there were too many things these days, so she didn't have the time.
Apart from that, Jason had destroyed the shooting club. Did those people have anything to do with
Vincent? Had they said anything?
Nicole wanted to know all of these.
She was trapped in the Green's before. Now she finally came out, she had to get updated. Moreover,
now that Samuel had disappeared and lost contact, did it have anything to do with these things?
Nicole didn't know either.
When she was about to stop a taxi to go to Tim or Jason, her phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was a call from the Green's, Nicole frowned slightly.
"Hello?"
"Nicole, please hurry back. Someone has taken Mr. Joseph and Miss Zoe away!"
Wendy sounded quite panicked and it immediately made Nicole extremely
worried.
