"How can you be so good?"
His compliment embarrassed Nicole.
"I'm not so good, and I just don't want you to be a guilty person. I know that you like to be a soldier. If
you could make your own choice, you would definitely not devote yourself to the scheming business
world. You like to be a soldier, don't you? I always wondered why you suddenly retired from military
service since you had done a great job in the military command. They said that you retired because
you suffered an injury in a crackdown campaign on drug trafficking. But I'm your wife, and I know well
about your health. Today I finally know that you took the order and retired. In this case, how can I stain
your record?"
"You're not a stain. On the contrary, you're the brightest star in my life. I did promise to give them the
design drawing, but I didn't say I would give them the one for the military."
"What do you mean?"
Nicole was puzzled.
Samuel smiled and said, "I made another design of a combat vehicle, and I asked Lucas to print it out
and send to Blair. Jacob had taken it back. Blair has talked to the leaders of the military command, and
they agree to my plan of luring out the person behind the scene. Someone who covets the benefits of
the military must not be a good person. Moreover, he is a hidden danger, and the military hopes to
capture him through the plan. Therefore, I haven't violated the military order."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, but I need your help."
Nicole was taken aback.
"My help? What can I do for you?"
"Designing."
Samuel took out the design drawing and handed it to Nicole.
"Take a look and tell me what's wrong."
"Me?"
Nicole was surprised.
She knew that Samuel was very talented in design, and she had chosen automotive design under the
influence of Samuel.
Samuel didn't like fame. Otherwise, other people would not be able to win any awards if he participated
in the National Design Competition.
Now he asked her to find fault with his design, Nicole felt stressed.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I'm serious. I came up with the design when you were in the operating room. It's not perfect, and some
details are not good enough. You're a designer. Help me figure out the areas to be improved."
Nicole felt shy.
"How can I figure out? I'm not a soldier and I don't know how to design a combat vehicle."
"It's not a design of combat vehicle. I will give them this design after I apply for a patent. This will be
something we design together, and I want to make a commemorative edition of it."
Samuel told her his plan.
Nicole was taken aback, and then she felt delighted.
"Are you saying that this design will be made by us? And you are going to put it into production?"
"Can't we?"
Nicole got elated.
"Of course we can!"
"Don't exhaust yourself. Although I agreed to give them the design, I did not fix the time. Besides, we
have to put on a good show. Mr. Bates is in Canada for a conference, and he doesn't come back in
short time. Meanwhile, we can do many things. I give you this task because I'm afraid that you get
bored at home. If you don't take a good rest because of this, I'll have to take it back."
"No!"
Nicole quickly held the drawing, refusing to let go. She was acting like a baby, and Samuel smiled at
her.
"Now that you know the Green family was only an empty shell, do you regret marrying me? Although I
have venture capital companies, our family is not as wealthy as before."
His words annoyed Nicole.
She glared at Samuel and said, "I didn't marry you for money. Besides, I know how to design. I can
support you."
"Support me?"
This was the first time Samuel had heard a woman say that she wanted to support him.
Many people did not hesitate to abandon their pride for the purpose of seeking connections with the
Green family and coveting its power and wealth. No one had ever said that they wanted to support him,
the king of Seapolis.
Looking at the delicate woman in front of him, Samuel could see her sincere love.
He almost lost such a good woman.
Samuel stroked her head again and said softly, "Alright, I'll wait for you to support me."
As he spoke, he took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Nicole.
Nicole was taken aback. She opened it and read. Her hand trembled in shock, and the document fell to
the bed.
"This, this, this..."
"It's true!"
Samuel gave her the ownership contract of the ten oil wells in Saudi Arabia.
The wealth that it represented was difficult for her to estimate.
She looked at Samuel in surprise and felt that she was in a dream.
Samuel smiled happily at her reaction.
"Are you shocked?"
"Didn't you say that eighty percent of the Green family's wealth had been donated?"
"Yes, we did. This is the wealth I created afterwards. Is your husband awesome?"
Samuel asked for her praise.
Nicole looked at him like looking at a monster, and said, "How is that possible? The oil wells in Saudi
Arabia are costly. How could you afford that?
"There's nothing your husband can't do. When I was in the military command, I took part in a foreign
peacekeeping operation and accidentally saved the prince of Saudi Arabia. To express his gratitude,
the king wanted to give me an oil well. I was a soldier at that time, so I refused. When I took over the
Green Family, most of the wealth had been donated and the remaining money was not much. I spent
all my money and bought ten oil wells from the king of Saudi Arabia."
Samuel's courage was not something ordinary people could possess.
He did save the prince, but he would not have managed to purchase the oil wells if the king hadn't
approved of that, no matter how much money he had.
Nicole knew that it was definitely not as simple as he said, but he had actually made it, which meant
that he was incredibly capable.
The man she loved was so excellent and outstanding!
Nicole felt proud.
"You're amazing. I've never heard that the Green family owns oil wells."
"Yes, it's a secret of the Green family, including the design drawing. Only my mother, Vincent and
myself know about it. But now, it's no longer a secret. Kemp knows about it, as well as the person
behind him. Things that I didn't even tell you are known by outsiders."
As Samuel spokes, a trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Nicole instantly understood.
A thief from within was hard to guard against!
"Are you saying that Vincent revealed the secret? Why did he do that?"
"People are hard to predict. I want to know as well, but I'll figure it out one day."
After he spoke, he handed her another file.
"What is it?"
"It's for you!"
Nicole was puzzled.
She was overwhelmed by what he had told her today, and she didn't know if she was ready to know
more about the Green family.
As the saying goes, 'He that shows his purse longs to be rid of it.'
The wealth of the Green family had been known, which led to a state of chaos at home and a life full of
schemes.
After all, people died for money and birds died for food.
Nicole didn't want to open the file anymore.
"Forget it. I don't want to look at it anymore. I know you are my husband, and that's enough. I feel
inferior after I suddenly find out that you are a billionaire."
Nicole pouted helplessly.
She had no idea that Samuel was so rich. If she had known back then, she might not have had the
courage to marry him.
Samuel was amused by her lovely face
He reached out his and scratched Nicole's nose. He smiled and said, "Why do you feel inferior? Open it
and take a look. I'm sure that after you open it, I'll be the one who should feel inferior."
"Why?"
"Open it and take a look!"
Encouraged by Samuel, Nicole opened the file, but this time she threw it away directly.
"Samuel, are you trying to scare me to death?"
She looked at Samuel, her voice trembling.
It was an authorization contract, an agreement of transfer.
Samuel had transferred all ten oil wells in Saudi Arabia to her name!
In other words, she is now the owner of the oil wells.
If she accepted his offer, she would be a billionairess.
"I don't want it!"
Nicole refused flatly.
Samuel smiled and said, "I trust myself and the Green family to you. No matter what you do in the
future, you have to think of the consequence if anything happens to you. What will become of the
Green family and me? What will become of the people who work for the Green family? You won't be so
reckless, will you?"
Nicole became tearful.
"I didn't mean to do that. I was just too worried about you."
"So you risked your life to look for me? What is the life without you to me? Have you thought about
that? How do I face myself? How do I face the children? Nicole, do you know you scared me out of my
wits this time? If I could, I wish to tie you with me and crush you into my bones so I don't have to worry
about you."
Nicole saw worry and fear in Samuel's eyes.
A man who didn't fear death in the battlefield, a king who was fierce and controlled the fate of others in
business, actually felt worried and scared for her!
Nicole's heart was warmed up.
She wrapped his neck and whispered, "No, I won't do that anymore. I'm afraid of death, okay? This
separation is enough. I promise I will never do that again."
"I don't believe your promise. Put these away and I'll believe you."
Nicole got depressed.
"It is too much. I'm afraid."
"What are you afraid of? From now on, you're my boss and I'll work for you. If you think I'm not doing a
good job, you can fire me. I'll be your stooge from now on, Mr. Bush."
The way he joked touched Nicole.
She knew he was giving everything to her.
Nicole whispered, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take all the money and run away with someone else?"
"I'm not afraid. Your heart is with me."
His words touched her. She held his face with tenderness in her eyes.
She slowly approached his thin lips.
They could feel each other's breath, and their distance was shortening. When their lips were about to
meet, a knock came from outside.
