"When did you become so gossipy?"
Samuel's words made Tim somewhat depressed. But he also knew that he had caused trouble, so he
said embarrassedly, "Nicole, I really didn't know that. I'm sorry."
Nicole turned around to look at Samuel.
"What was the matter? What happened to Joseph? You left him to Satan King? How can you? Don't
you know how much he had suffered?"
Nicole felt really sorry for Joseph.
Samuel sighed and said, "Let's go home and talk."
Nicole did not insist on getting the answer right now. She turned to Tim and said, "You'd better achieve
something. Or else, I will look down on you. I never make friends with those who have no ambition."
"I will. Just wait and see."
Tim immediately gained confidence.
Seeing that Tim had regained his confidence, Samuel held Nicole's hand and said, "Let's go back. You
can't come out for too long. You haven't recovered yet."
"Yes. Go back and have a rest. There is no need to worry about me. I'll be fine."
Tim hurriedly said.
Nicole looked at Samuel and Tim and left the office without saying anything.
Looking at Tim, Samuel lowered his voice, "This is what I get from you? You are really afraid that I
might live a happy life, aren't you?"
"It's your fault. Joseph is my disciple. You just sent him away. Have you gotten my permission? If I were
Nicole, I would also condemn you."
Tim did not humble himself before Samuel because of his help. Tim was still the one he was before.
Samuel nodded and said, "Sure, you can do that."
Seeing that Nicole had gone far, Samuel hurriedly followed.
"Nicole, I will explain it to you."
Nicole got into the car angrily.
After Samuel got in the car, he saw there were tears in Nicole's eyes. He couldn't help but feel
heartbroken.
"Don't be sad. This was what Joseph wanted. I asked his opinions. I won't send him away if he doesn't
want to. I swear. Satan King won't treat him too bad. She and Gabrielle's mentor learned from the same
man. She killed her son because of postpartum depression. Now she sees Joseph as her own son.
She will definitely treat him well."
Samuel explained the cause and effect to Nicole, but she was still very sad, not giving much reaction.
"Nicole, did you hear me?"
Nicole said sadly, "It's all my fault. Had it not been for me, Joseph would not have done that."
"It's not your fault. If you really want to blame on someone, then blame me."
Nicole did not argue with Samuel anymore. But apparently, she did not recover from this.
Seeing her like this, Samuel could not say more. He brought her home.
After returning home, Nicole got off the car. She refused Samuel when he tried to hug her.
She walked home step by step.
"Mommy!"
There suddenly came Lucas’ voice.
Nicole was slightly shocked. Soon, a child rushed out and ran into her arms.
"Mommy, are you alright? How are you?"
Lucas’ eyes were red, looking very pathetic.
Nicole's heart immediately softened.
"Mommy is fine. Thank you. Thank you for helping me find your daddy."
"It's good that mommy is fine, but did something happen to Joseph? I was about to agree that woman's
request so that she can save mommy, but I was stopped by Joseph. He took me by surprise."
Lucas was especially angry when he thought of this.
How could Joseph, who was stupid and dumb, dare to do that? He also boarded that helicopter and
went to City A alone. This was what Lucas should do.
Hearing what Lucas said, Nicole felt even more uncomfortable.
"Mommy will bring Joseph back. I swear."
"Really? Mommy, that woman is so fierce. She will definitely treat Joseph bad. Mommy must bring him
back, okay? He is my brother. I can't let him suffer outside."
Samuel's eyes flashed when he heard Lucas’ words. He thought of Vincent.
Mrs. Green came out before they noticed. Hearing Lucas’ words, she said, "Look, even my grandson
knows that you can't let your brother suffer outside."
She was projecting something.
Samuel glanced at Mrs. Green, who also looked back at him. Their eyes met in the air, competing with
each other.
"This also depends on what kind of brother you have. Moreover, he might not be your brother."
Nicole paused for a moment when hearing this.
What did he mean?
Why did she has a feeling that there seemed to be a division between Samuel and Mrs. Green?
Was it her illusion?
"Samuel, what's wrong?"
"It's fine. You can go upstairs and rest first."
Samuel smiled and said to Lucas, "Brat, take your mommy upstairs to rest. She's a little tired."
"Yes, sir."
Lucas was very obedient. He quickly grabbed Nicole's hands. However, she turned around to look at
Samuel and asked, "Samuel, are you alright?"
"Everything is fine. Go and have a rest."
"Alright."
Only then did Lucas rest his mind.
He held Nicole's hand. Not able to say more, Nicole looked at Samuel and Mrs. Green go upstairs with
Lucas.
Seeing Nicole leave, Samuel looked at Mrs. Green and said in a low voice, "Is Mom going to protect
him forever?"
"He's your brother!"
Mrs. Green looked at Samuel and said stubbornly.
Samuel sneered, "Brother? It's just that he looks like me. If I like, Jacob can also look the same as me.
Mom, I don't believe you didn't read the authentication report."
"What could a report say? He is not your brother? Perhaps Blair got it wrong."
"How is that possible? Blair won't do that. Mom, if you want to protect him, I can't go against you. But
you'd better take him under your wings. If he ever steps out, don't blame me for being unkind."
Samuel left after he spoke.
"Stop!"
Mrs. Green stopped him and asked, "Does Nicole know about this?"
"I haven't told her yet. To be exact, I don't know how to tell her. My mother protects a person who
pretends to be my brother. I don't know what you want. Or may I ask, what is your relationship with
him? Could it be that it is you who asked him to pretend to be my brother?"
Mrs. Green trembled when she heard Samuel's questions.
She looked at Samuel and shouted, "Everything I did was for Green Family. Samuel, you should know
that I would never do anything to harm Green Family."
"But he hurt Nicole, hurt me, and even hurt Green Family. If he hadn't tried to steal my design and
joined forces with outsiders to deal with me and Nicole, perhaps I could treat him as a brother. If he
could treat Joseph, Lucas and Zoe better, perhaps I wouldn't give it too much thought. You kept saying
that he was doing this for Green Family. Could this be? Tring to spare none of my family members is for
the good of Green Family? Mom, why don't you just say that my death is the blessing of Green
Family?"
"You bastard!"
Simmered with rage, Mrs. Green slapped hard on Samuel's face.
Samuel and Mrs. Green were both stunned. After all, this was the first time Mrs. Green had beaten
Samuel, and it was still for an outsider.
Samuels' face changed.
Mrs. Green suddenly panicked.
"No, I didn't do it on purpose, Samuel..."
"Mom, did I really get it right? You think my wife, my child and I are damned, right?"
There was sadness in his eyes.
"No, Samuel, it's not like that."
"Then, what is like? Who is he? Why did he pretend to be my brother? And why did you stand by his
side?"
Samuel was too aggressive, which made Mrs. Green unable to bear.
She suddenly grabbed her chest and gasped for breath.
Seeing this, Samuel frowned. He quickly stepped forward to hold Mrs. Green and hurriedly shouted to
Wendy standing beside, "What are you doing? Go and get a doctor."
"Oh, OK."
Wendy was a little dumbfounded, but she still made a phone call quickly.
Not long after, the ambulance arrived and took Mrs. Green.
Lucas and Nicole both frowned when seeing this in front of the window.
"Mommy, what happened to Grandma and Samuel?"
"I don't know either, but there really seems to be something we don't know, and it's happening."
Nicole sighed, feeling a little helpless towards such a result.
What she wanted most was a harmonious family, but she couldn't fulfill such a simple dream.
She couldn't help but think of Mrs. Don.
She knew that she shouldn't think of her, but it suddenly occurred to her that perhaps it was because
they were related. However, Nicole didn't regret doing that.
Samuel phoned Nicole and told her that Mrs. Green had a heart attack. He had to accompany Mrs.
Green to the hospital. He asked Nicole to rest at home and not to think too much.
Nicole agreed without asking.
The ambulance disappeared out of sight quickly.
Lucas said to Nicole, "Mommy, go and have a rest. Samuel will solve everything."
Nicole could tell Lucas was very confident about Samuel.
She smiled and touched his head, saying, "You should call him Daddy. Do you understand?"
"I'll try my best."
Lukas felt a little awkward. After all, he was used to calling Samuel by his name. He did not get used to
call him dad instead.
Nicole did not force him to do so. She asked him to go to his room to have a rest.
Seeing Nicole was really sleepy, Lukas returned to his room.
Nicole turned on her computer and wanted to take a look at Samuel's design. Her mixed feelings really
gave her an inspiration which may of some help to the design.
Thinking of this, Nicole turned on her computer. But before she could retrieve the file, she saw
someone suddenly appeared beside the window.
"Who?"
Nicole suddenly turned around, but the person covered her mouth directly. Nicole was shocked when
she saw the familiar face.
