"Get out of here. All of you. Those who don't want to do this job just leave. Leave now, and you don't
have to bother to submit resignation report. But let me be clear, there is no way to come back for those
who leave today."
There came Tim's furious voice.
This was the first time that Nicole had seen Tim so angry.
The office is filled with people, but there was still a place left for Tim.
Tim sat in a wheelchair. His handsome face was slightly twisted because of anger.
He swept all the documents in front of him to the ground. Nicole was hurt when she saw what Tim was
now. Undignified as he was, he still looked angry.
"Mr. Tim, we need to make a living. We can't just see ourselves go bankrupt like Louis Group, right?"
One of the employees hated to see Tim like this. He couldn't help but speak.
"Go Bankrupt? It is impossible. Louis Group won't go bankrupt."
Tim held the armrest of the wheelchair tightly.
The word "bankruptcy" hurt him deeply, stabbing into his chest like a dagger.
Even though he knew that there were many people who would kick a person when he was down, he
didn't expect these people would come so quickly. He got nothing to fight back.
"Forget it, Mr. Tim. It's meaningless to pretend. We've also worked in Louis Group for many years. I
would like to kindly give you a piece of advice. Be easy on people whenever it is possible. Submit
whenever it is needed. Every dog has its day. No one will always stand high above the masses."
Nicole's face went sullen when she heard what the employee said.
"Who said no one will stand high forever? He can! Even if he broke his legs, he still can. He is still Tim
Louis, the one who acts big and acts bold. Besides, he has Green Family behind him."
Nicole's words attracted everyone's attention.
When Tim heard Nicole's voice, he was slightly shocked. He turned around and met Nicole's eyes.
He could tell Nicole was feeling sad and pity for him.
Tim immediately felt extremely embarrassed. He wished he could find a chink to drill into.
He hated to be seen by Nicole like this.
He let out his anger at Samuel who was beside Nicole.
"You came to laugh at me, didn't you? It's fine if you came alone. But you brought Nicole here. You
wanted her to see how desperate I was, right?"
"Tim, I don't have the mood to argue with you. I'm here today to be my wife's driver. Stop yelling at me."
Samuel was not angry. He just said blandly.
Seeing Tim like this, Nicole couldn't help but take two steps forward.
"Tim."
"Get out of here. All of you."
Tim snapped at those employees this time.
They came to here for quitting this job. Therefore, they left without hesitation when they heard what Tim
said.
A few of them were more sensitive. They changed their mind when they saw Samuel, saying, "Mr. Tim,
we don't quit. After all, we have been working here for so long. We want to stay with you to tide over
difficulties together."
"Get out."
Tim was upset.
Why would Nicole come when he was at his worst situation?
Nicole finally came before him after everyone in the office left.
"How is your leg?"
"Are you here to sympathize me? Are you here to pity me? Or are you here to humiliate me because I
broke my leg? How are you gonna to deal with it? With money?"
Tim sounded unkind.
Nicole did not get angry. She lowered her voice and said, "I just want to see if you are okay, and
Samuel is here to help you."
"Help me? You should be the one who feel extremely happy seeing me like this, don't you? Shouldn't
you take this opportunity to buy Louis Group? This is what you should do, right? Or, are you still waiting
for the lowest price?"
Tim looked straight at Samuel with mixed emotions.
Samuel looked at him and said indifferently, "There's nothing I can do if you give up yourself. If you
really want me to buy Louis Group, I will do that. Tim, even if you can't restore the past glory of your
family, you still won't go bankrupt if you accept my help. I just don't know why you are so emotional and
unreasonable."
"Why? I saved you because I wanted to do that. I don't need any charity from you. "
It was just that Tim could not accept any help from Samuel.
Nicole was a little angry.
"Tim, which is more important, your poor face or Louis Group? Had it not been for me, you wouldn't
have gone to City A. If you had not gone there, you wouldn't be like this now. It is me, Nicole, who
owed you. Why did you insist on saying the case Samuel gave you was a kind of charity? The case he
gave you is not a small one. If Louis Group is not capable of handling that, will he hand it to you? You
think we are humiliating you with money? You think our friendship can be valued with money? If that's
what you think, then that's good. You can refuse our kindness and wait to see Louis Group go
bankrupt. At that time, you will be down-and-out. You will become more reluctant to see me, right? You
want me to give you money on the street, don't you?"
What Nicole said was a bit harsh actually.
Tim felt his face was burning.
"What do you mean by saying that you will give me money on the street?"
"Since you become a beggar, I can only give you money on the street. Or else, where could I find you?
Under the overpass?"
Tim twitched his mouth when hearing this.
"I won't be reduced like that, okay? Even if the company really goes bankrupt, I could still go out to
work. I won't beg for anything."
"Come on. Who will hire an arrogant person like you? You are more arrogant than the boss. Who would
dare to employ you? No one can stand it. You want to make a living by going to work? I think you'll
starve to death in less than a month."
"Nicole, what did you mean? Are you here to provoke me? Or you want to laugh at me?"
Embarrassed, Tim was a little enraged.
Nicole thought he could only go begging?
This made him so angry.
However, Nicole just continued, "You got angry? You wanted me to feel sorry for you, right? You
wanted me to live in guilty forever, right? You wanted me to hate myself whenever I think of you, right?"
"No, I didn't think so."
"Then what's in your mind? Is it that difficult to accept Samuel's help? If you have the ability, you can
stand up. You can compete with him and do everything as you like, just like before. Or actually, you
dare not to take it a try? Yes, you lost your leg. Does this also mean that you lost the courage as well?
You don't dare to accept our help because you're afraid that you might be incapable. You are afraid that
we will look down on you, right?"
Nicole went more and more tough.
Tim couldn't take it anymore.
"I'm not that useless as you said. I can still stand up and make Louis Group brilliant again even without
your help."
"Then prove it to me. We are not doing charity here. This case is worth hundreds of millions of yuan.
We won't take the risk. If you don't have the ability, Samuel will still give the case to someone else. For
you, this is an opportunity. Whether you want to seize it or not depends on yourself. Don't worry, I won't
forget what I owed you. Paying back by money? I give it a shit. If this is what you think what we are
doing, you look down on not only yourself, but me."
After saying that, Nicole turned around and grabbed Samuel's arm. She whispered, "Let's go. If he
really wants see Louis Group go broke, why would we bother to care him?"
Samuel twitched his lips.
He didn't know that Nicole would be so cute when she scolded someone.
He was fascinated by her.
Seeing Nicole went angry, Tim hurriedly said, "Nicole, I'm already very poor. Why did you still tease at
me? Why would you still be so mean? Won't your conscience bother you?"
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you unable to walk with one leg? Can't you be cured? What did I do?
It's funny that you said that I was teasing at you. You are Mr. Tim. Who could do that? Besides, I don't
even have conscience. Why would I feel bothered?"
"You..."
Tim heart ached again.
This woman really didn't care at all when she was harsh on him.
Samuel smiled and said, "You can't compete with me when you still had a sound body. You are
disabled now. And you would like to give up your company. What else could you compete with me? You
don't want Nicole to suffer with you, do you?"
"Samuel."
Nicole felt what Samuel said was inappropriate. She wanted to say something, but she stopped when
Samuel gave her a look.
"A man cannot talk about love when he cannot give a woman material safety. You can talk tall. But
what's the difference between you and a love rat then? Anyway, I give you the chance. You are free to
choose whether to accept it or not. I really hope you can always have your pride. I hope you can sell
Louis Group. At that time, I will purchase your company without mercy and give it to Nicole, if that's
what you want."
The more Samuel said, the angrier Tim became.
"Shut up. It is just a case worthy of hundreds of millions yuan. I'll take it! Let's see who can prevail."
"Sure, then let's sign the contract this afternoon. I'll be waiting for you at home."
After Samuel finished speaking, he held Nicole's hand and said, "Let's go. It is possible that Mr. Tim
doesn't want to see us now."
Nicole paused for a moment. Then she took out a bottle of pills from her pocket and handed it over.
"This may of some help to your leg. I still recommend you to ask Blair for help. Don't waste any time on
treatment."
"I see."
Tim teared up a little as he looked at Nicole.
"I didn't do well what you asked me. I'm sorry."
Tim's sudden apology confused Nicole.
"Why did you apologize?"
"You asked me to take care of Lucas, Zoe and Joseph, but when I came back, Joseph had already left.
Later, I learned that he volunteered to be Satan King's disciple for ten years in order to save you. It was
too late when I knew this. I am really sorry."
"What? What happened to Joseph?"
Nicole suddenly turned around. She asked surprisingly.
Samuel really wanted to cut off Tim's tongue. Why would he hurt his mouth? He tried his best to hide
this from Nicole, but Tim just blurted it out.
"You don't know?"
Tim suddenly realized something. He looked up, only to find Samuel was staring at him fiercely, as if
trying to kill him. This sent chills up to his back.
