Samuel smiled mysteriously and told Nicole to start eating.
At this point, Nicole did not want to think too much. After they finished the meal quietly, Samuel carried
her into the car and turned on the air conditioner.
"How are you feeling now? Is it still cold?"
Because of Nicole's previous health condition, even now, Samuel still did not dare to let her expose to
the cold temperature.
Nicole shook her head and said, "No, it's not."
"You should wear more clothes."
As he said, he took off his coat and draped it over Nicole's shoulder.
Smelling Samuel's unique aura and enjoying the warmth of this moment, Nicole wished the time would
slow down.
"Where are you taking me?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Samuel kept it mysterious.
Nicole did not ask again. She leaned against her seat and watched Samuel drive, remaining silent.
Actually, this felt good.
If she could spend the rest of her life like this, Nicole would be satisfied. She wasn't greedy.
The car drove out of the Green's mansion.
Nicole found this road somewhat familiar, and she frowned.
Wasn't this the villa where she had been taken after being kidnapped by Chuck?
Nicole looked at Samuel.
Was he taking her to Chuck's villa?
For what? To meet Mr. Bates?
Or did Samuel want to show her what he had given to Mr. Bates?
Nicole couldn't figure out the answer. She looked at Samuel, but she couldn't read any emotion from
Samuel's calm face.
Usually, this meant that Samuel was not in a good mood.
Others might not know this, but as someone loved Samuel so much, she knew him very well. To
outsiders, Samuel was always serious and cold, but Nicole knew that the angrier he was, the calmer he
looked. When he was furious, he would act as if nothing had happened.
In other words, Samuel was angry at the moment.
Why?
What was he angry about?
Was he angry that Chuck had kidnapped her or that the family doctor had given her that medicine?
Nicole suddenly felt nervous.
"Samuel, are you...?"
Samuel hushed her.
Samuel turned to smile at Nicole, "I'm driving. Please don't chat with me. We'll talk when we get there."
Nicole was surprised.
He smiled at her, and his eyes were filled with tenderness. Could it be that she had misread the
situation? Maybe Samuel wasn't angry.
Nicole was not sure.
She remained silent and went to the villa with Samuel while feeling nervous all along the way.
Obviously, the people at the villa had been replaced by Samuel's people.
After stopping the car, Samuel got out, opened the door, and carried Nicole out.
"I can walk."
With so many people around, she was a little embarrassed. Although she was still weak, she could
manage to walk.
However, Samuel cooed, "I love carrying you in my arms."
Despite what he had said, his movements were gentle, as if he was afraid that he might accidentally
touch Nicole's wound. The cautious way he treated Nicole made her heart warm.
She was carried out of the car by Samuel, and they entered the villa.
The villa was still the same as before, but the bodyguards here had been replaced by Samuel's men.
Nicole was surprised to see Jacob here.
"Jacob? What are you doing here? Where's Olivia?"
Jacob hurriedly said, "She has something to take care of. Don't worry. I've arranged for someone to
protect her. She'll be fine."
"I see."
After hearing that Olivia was safe, Nicole heaved a sigh of relief.
She was willing to face anything for Samuel, but she didn't want her best friend to get involved.
Nicole was carried into the villa by Samuel.
There were many people squatting in the courtyard of the villa.
Nicole looked over carefully and found that they were the former bodyguards in this villa.
"Samuel, what's going on?"
"Nothing. We'll talk about it later. Let's get inside. It's cold outside."
Samuel carried Nicole inside and had someone put a blanket on the sofa. Then, he put Nicole on the
carpet and fetched a quilt to cover her.
Nicole felt that he was being overdramatic, and she couldn't help but say, "I'm not that weak."
"Nonsense. Of course you're weak. You just had surgery. I know I'm not supposed to bring you out at
this point, but I can't leave you alone at home. The only way I can be sure that you are safe is to bring
you with me. I hope my decision won't keep you from getting a full recovery; otherwise, I won't forgive
myself."
Hearing that, Nicole didn't know what to say.
After Samuel settled Nicole down, he sat beside Nicole and prepared some hot water for Nicole.
Jacob brought a man inside.
Nicole was surprised - Wasn't this Chuck?
Before she could say anything, Jacob had already kicked Chuck to the ground.
"What's going on?"
Nicole was confused.
Chuck worked for Mr. Bates, and Mr. Bates and Samuel were friends, but why did Jacob treat Chuck
like this? What exactly was going on?
Samuel gestured for Nicole to calm down. Looking at Chuck, who was on the ground, he smiled and
said, "Chuck, long time no see."
"Mr. Green, what is this about?"
Chuck was struggling at first, but when he saw Samuel, he was surprised and soon put on a smile.
A person who could change his attitude so quickly was definitely a villain.
Nicole suddenly realized something.
Samuel played with Nicole's fingers and continued, "What is this about? I thought you already knew."
As he spoke, Jacob already stepped forward, took out a dagger, and stabbed towards Chuck's thigh.
Chuck rolled away in fright and dodged Jacob's dagger. His face was pale, and he asked, "Mr. Green,
Mr. Bates is my boss. Don't you think you should inform Mr. Bates before you touch me?"
"Well, you still remember that Mr. Bates is your boss. I thought you already started working for Vincent!"
Samuel's words surprised Nicole.
What did he mean?
Working for Vincent?
Could it be that Chuck and Vincent...?
She widened her eyes in surprise.
However, Samuel patted the back of her hand gently and said, "Relax. Just watch the show."
"But..."
"Be good. Leave it to me."
Samuel looked at Nicole with affection. She was fascinated by his smile and did not pay attention to his
words.
Jacob took a step forward and contained Chuck before the latter tried to resist. He said coldly, "Tell us
the truth! Otherwise, I'll break your legs."
"I dare you!"
Chuck tried to struggle, but in vain.
Samuel asked someone to bring over a plate of grapes. He gently picked one, peeled it, and handed it
to Nicole's mouth, saying softly, "Open your mouth."
Nicole suddenly felt embarrassed.
There were quite a few people in this living room. Although they were all Samuel's subordinates, she
still felt embarrassed when Samuel fed her the fruit in front of them. After all, she was already an adult.
Moreover, as everyone knew, he was the Stone-faced Lucifer. What was he doing?
"I can do it myself."
Nicole blushed immediately.
When Samuel saw her blushing cheeks, he chuckled.
"Don't be shy. We're a couple. Let me feed you. Open your mouth."
Meeting Samuel's doting gaze, which made her feel like she was drowning in honey, Nicole found it
hard to say no to this man.
...
She coughed to conceal her embarrassment, but in the end, she opened her mouth as he asked.
Seeing that she had eaten the grape, Samuel said, "Jacob, my patience is thinning out. If he doesn't
start talking within three seconds, break his leg. I'll explain to Mr. Bates later."
"Yes, Mr. Green."
With that, Jacob placed the military dagger on the artery in Chuck's thigh.
"If I cut your artery, as you know, you'll bleed out."
Upon hearing that, Chuck's face turned ghastly pale.
"Mr. Green, this is a society ruled by law. You are breaking the law!"
"I always believe that in the Seapolis City, I'm the God and the law. Don't you think so?"
Samuel said arrogantly.
Chuck immediately became frustrated.
"Three!"
As Samuel counted, he peeled grapes and fed them to Nicole, as if Chuck's life didn't matter at all.
Chuck started to panic.
"Mr. Green, you can't..."
"Two!"
Samuel didn't want to listen to his crap.
Chuck's cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
He started trembling slightly. Just as Samuel was about to count "one", he hurriedly said, "I will tell you
everything! You're right! I have joined forces with Samuel."
Upon hearing that, Nicole's face turned sullen.
"You work for Vincent?"
Nicole narrowed her eyes.
But Samuel cooed in her ears, "Don't be angry. Don't punish yourself for a nobody. I brought you here
to enjoy the show, not to get angry. As I said, leave it to me, alright?"
Meeting Samuel's eyes, Nicole suddenly calmed down.
If Chuck did work for Vincent, it would be a nightmare for her.
Finn had helped Chuck to enter the military compound, where Vincent could not get in.
Chuck had free access to the military compound, where her daughter and Joseph lived. If Vincent tried
to kidnap Zoe, she wouldn't be able to save Zoe in time.
However, since Samuel told her to leave everything to him, he must have already got things under
control.
"Zoe and Joseph..."
"They're fine. Don't worry."
Hearing that, Nicole was finally relieved.
Chuck didn't dare to struggle anymore.
He looked at Samuel and begged, "Mr. Green, if I tell you everything, will you let me go?"
"I'll decide after you tell me everything."
Samuel did not promise him anything, but facing this ambiguous attitude, Chuck didn't dare to withhold
any truth.
After all, his boss was Mr. Bates. Having been working for Mr. Bates for years, he knew what kind of
person Samuel was and what Samuel was capable of.
Everyone in the business community in the Seapolis City called Samuel "Stone-faced Lucifer", but
Chuck knew that Samuel was nicknamed "Devil of Death" before he retired.
Samuel never showed any mercy to his enemies, but Chuck had made a stupid mistake to be Samuel's
enemy.
Chuck sighed softly. He knew that he had to face it, so he told Samuel how he had colluded with
Vincent.
When Nicole heard him confess, she felt insulted for having got played.
