Just like that, Jacob's car went right past Vincent's car.
After Vincent had driven the car into the alley, he realized that it was a blind alley.
Samuel's people were everywhere outside, so it was impossible for Vincent to get out.
Vincent knitted his eyebrows tightly.
Holding Nicole in his arms, he carried her to a nearby house owned by a family.
Although Samuel was searching for Vincent and Nicole's whereabouts by using lots of money and men,
he would never reveal to others that it was his own brother and his wife that he was looking for.
Otherwise, it would harm Nicole's reputation, if rumors were spread. People might think that Vincent
had eloped with his sisters-in-law.
That was why Vincent dared to show his face.
He gave the family a large amount of money for renting their house for two days.
Seeing that they could earn so much money by just renting out the house for two days, the owner of
the house immediately said yes with great joy.
When Nicole woke up, she found herself at a different place again. She gave a puzzled glance at the
house. It was a bungalow with simple but warm decoration.
She didn't know where she was. She could only see that Vincent was smoking and sitting not far away
from her.
The way he smoked made him look exactly like Samuel.
That scene made Nicole's heart hurt a little.
She had only left Samuel for a few hours, but why did she feel that she had left him for ages?
She wondered how Samuel was now.
"You're up? Have some food then. We must carry on with our journey later."
Vincent threw her a bun which was still warm. He must have brought it from somewhere near here.
Nicole took a look at the bun carefully, but she could not tell which bakery it came from. She couldn't
help but feel a little depressed.
Vincent seemed to be very anxious.
He stood up and walked back and forth in the room.
When he was looking, Nicole broke the bun into pieces and threw some of them under the bed.
If her guess was correct, this bun must be containing something that could make her powerless and
sleepy.
Not long after Nicole finished eating did she begin to feel drowsy.
When Nicole almost fell into a deep sleep, Vincent walked into the room to check on her.
Nicole held her breath and tried her best to keep her breath steady to make herself look asleep.
Vincent looked at her for a while before he got up and took out his phone to dial a phone number.
"Hello? I need your help now."
Nicole did not know who Vincent was calling, but at that moment, she felt excited. If she could track
down the person behind Vincent by following clues, could she help Samuel a little?
Thinking of that, she couldn't help but try to listen as carefully as she could.
Perhaps because Vincent felt that Nicole was asleep, he did not avoid talking on the phone in front of
her. As he was also trying to take something from the room, it was not convenient for him to hold his
phone. So he even put the call on speakerphone.
The voice on the phone was somewhat robotic, as if it had gone through a voice changer.
"Samuel has sent his people everywhere to look for you. How can you call me now?"
"What? You refuse to help me now? Don't forget even if I might be locked up by Samuel if I get caught,
I am still his brother no matter what. Besides, my mother is also on my side. You think I will be
devastated? I might lose my freedom at most, but I won't need to worry about having enough food and
drink. What about you? If I get caught, I don't know if I'll give your name to him. Samuel won't do
anything harmful to me, but that doesn't mean he won't do anything to you. What do you think?"
Hearing Vincent's words, the person in the other end of the phone was shocked for a moment, and
then he said, "Where are you now?"
"Don't ask me where I am. I just need you to prepare a boat for me. I want to get out of the Seapolis
City."
After hearing Vincent's request, the voice on the phone said, "That's impossible. Samuel has already
blocked the entire sea. His people are guarding all exits of the Seapolis City. I can't get you out."
"Cut the crap. You think I don't know how Zama had sent Nicole out then? Don’t think you can fool me
just because I didn’t come back at that time. Don't forget Zama is my mother by blood. She loves me
the most. Do you think she will hide anything from me? Tonight at eleven o'clock, I must get out of the
Seapolis City. I don't care the ways you must use. All you need to do is to send us to Kemp's place in
City A."
Vincent's words surprised Nicole.
So he was indeed related to Kemp.
Moreover, he was also related to Zama. Could it be that Kemp was one of Zama's people? Who was
this person who didn't dare to show his face and had to speak with a voice changer?
When she and Lucas were sent out of the Seapolis City quietly before, Samuel had been crazy
searching for them. So this was the reason why he couldn't find them even when he had searched the
whole Seapolis City.
This person must be someone they were extremely familiar with. Otherwise, why would he use a voice
changer?
Nicole felt a little upset in her heart.
How many people have sent their men to spy on them secretly? How sad it was for Samuel to have to
live in such an environment since childhood.
As Nicole was feeling pity for Samuel, she heard the voice on the phone say, "You're on your own
now?"
"No. There's someone else here."
"Who's that?"
"That's not what you should ask."
Vincent's tone was not very friendly.
After a few seconds of silence, the voice on the phone said, "Alright. I'll send you guys out at eleven
o'clock in the evening, but this is the last time. Zama has promised me not to use my power again. She
also has given me complete freedom. You guys can't go back on your word."
"Got it. After we leave here this time, we won't bother you again. It's time to put an end to the whole
thing."
Vincent hung up the phone immediately after he finished speaking.
Staring at the sky outside the window, he was pondering.
Nicole opened her eyes a little. For a moment, she thought she could see sadness in Vincent's eyes.
He was in a deep sorrow.
Why?
What did he mean by saying that it was time to put an end to the whole thing just now?
Nicole's mind was spinning with questions, but she didn't dare to move a bit.
Her body had not fully recovered, so she did not have much strength. But since she had decided to
investigate Vincent's intention to help Samuel, she could only play it by ear.
Nicole closed her eyes again, but then she heard Vincent sigh.
He took out three cigarettes and lit them. He placed them on the windowsill, bowed to the window for
three times and said, "My bro, look at me and bless me from the heaven. Please, please wish me
success this time. No matter what, I'm going to put an end to the whole thing soon."
His bro?
Nicole opened her eyes again to look at Vincent from his back.
Who was this bro he was talking about?
Why not Riley?
Didn't he say that he was doing all this for Riley? Didn't he say that this was all because Samuel was
too much better than him? Why did he suddenly mention this bro of his?
Vincent seemed to sense that someone was looking at him from behind, so he suddenly turned around.
Nicole immediately closed her eyes before he could see, and she felt her heartbeat quicken.
Good heavens!
That was close!
Vincent almost caught her.
Nicole couldn't help but clench her fists.
Vincent frowned and approached Nicole step by step.
"Nicole, I know you're awake. What did you hear?"
Vincent said coldly.
Nicole ignored it and pretended to be asleep. She tried her best to slow down her heartbeat to normal.
Although it was a little difficult, she had already had the courage and spirit to remain calm in any
circumstances, thanks to all the difficult times she had gone through.
Seeing that Nicole remained motionless, Vincent said again, "Stop faking it. I know you're awake.
Answer my question, or I'll take off all your clothes!"
That bastard!
Nicole was cursing him in her heart, but she didn't dare to move a bit.
She was scared.
She feared that Vincent might kill her to keep her mouth shut, if she answered his question and let him
know that she had overheard so much.
After experiencing so many moments of life and death, she realized that she was really afraid of death.
Samuel and her wonderful life hadn't begun yet. She hadn't given enough love to her children. Her
parents in their old age still needed her care. There were still so many things she hadn't done. How
could she die now?
Nicole tried her best to keep the look on her face the same as before, and she continued to stay
motionless.
Vincent suddenly leaned over. The faint fragrance of his cologne almost made Nicole unable to keep
calm.
Laying close, he stared at Nicole's face. He kept looking, and his gaze was like a sharp dagger
stabbing into Nicole's body.
Nicole did not dare to move or change the frequency of her breath.
Vincent was such a sensitive man. If she showed any signs of being awake now, the consequences
were too scary to imagine.
Vincent stared at Nicole for about two minutes. Seeing that Nicole was as calm as before, he heaved a
sigh of relief.
He stood up and said to himself, "Am I really being too sensitive? Well, there are so many sleeping pills
in the bun. It would be weird if she wakes up."
After saying that, Vincent shook his head self-deprecatingly and then turned around.
Just as Nicole wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, she sensed that Vincent suddenly turned his head
around and stared straight at Nicole again.
Having to stop breathing out her breath all of a sudden, she almost suffocated herself. But she didn't
dare to move or make any noises as she wanted.
Such a wily old fox.
Nicole cursed him in her heart, trying her best to maintain motionless as always.
She almost couldn't bear it anymore!
Seeing that Nicole didn't move at all, Vincent turned around and walked towards the window to put
away the three cigarettes on the windowsill.
Nicole heaved a small sigh of relief.
Because she was frightened just now, the air in her throat tickled her so much that she wanted to
cough, but she had no choice but to control her urge to cough.
Nicole was holding it back very hard.
Fortunately, Vincent received a phone call at that time. He looked at Nicole and then got out of the
room to answer the phone.
As soon as he left, Nicole immediately covered her mouth with her hands and coughed twice. Only
then did she feel a little relieved.
Looking at Vincent outside the room, she was stumped.
Even if she could figure out everything, how could she inform Samuel?
Looking around her, Nicole did not know whether Samuel could find this place or not, but at least it was
not completely hopeless.
She found a pen and paper in the room in a short time and wrote down what she had heard before
Vincent came back.
After writing them down, Nicole was at a loss.
Putting aside the questions of where this place was or whether people went past this place at all, she
didn't even know where she should put this note after finishing writing it.
She could put it in an inconspicuous place. But would her efforts be in vain if nobody could find it?
If she placed the note in a place where others could see it easily, then Vincent would also be able to
see it for sure. If that happened, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain as well?
Nicole knitted her eyebrows tightly.
What should she do?
