Nicole looked at Karina. She looked at this child. She asked in disbelief, "Tell me that all of this is not
true?"
However, Karina did not dare to look at her eyes and turned her head away.
Vincent smiled, "You're so stupid. I gave them their names. If it wasn't for me, they would have died a
long time ago. Their lives are all mine. They will do whatever I say."
"You're an animal!"
Nicole cursed angrily.
Vincent laughed.
"I'm an animal? You didn't see how Samuel broke up a family in the business world overnight, did you?
You didn't see how he killed people on the battlefield, did you? Why is he a beast for such behavior?
And I am an animal for what I did!"
"That's different! No matter what he does, he never loses his conscience and bottom line. But you?
You've used everyone you can. So, Fiona is also one of yours?"
Nicole remembered the hatred that Karina had for Fiona when talked about her. That hatred was so
real that it shouldn't just be disguise. After all, Karina was just a child. It was impossible for her to fake
that kind of hatred.
Vincent shook his head, "No, she is not one of mine. I only know that she is Tim's lover, and she is
quite greedy. She wants to be Tim's wife. Karina said to Fiona that she was looking for you. But Fiona
doesn't know anything. Naturally, she doesn't want you to know that Tim is at her place. So she will
definitely kill Karina. I just took advantage of her jealousy."
"You're really scary!"
Nicole's words sounded like praise to Vincent.
"Thank you for the compliment. Alright, now you know everything you should know. I guess Samuel is
doing his best to look for you. With you in my hands, I'm not afraid that he won't let me out of the city.
From now on, Karina will take care of your daily life. Although she is young, she can do a lot of things.
You can rest assured. Tell her if you want anything. But don't think she will tip you off. That's not gonna
happen."
Vincent stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute. Did you deliberately leave Hedy at Blair's house?"
Vincent paused for a moment, "I am not that capable. It's fortunate for Hedy to be adopted by Blair."
"You'd better not. Otherwise, I won't let you off! Even if Samuel lets you off, I won't!"
Nicole knew what Hedy meant to Gabrielle and Blair. If they knew that all of this was a long-planned
conspiracy, Gabrielle might not be able to withstand its blow.
Vincent looked at Nicole and said coldly, "You should care about yourself first."
With that, he walked out.
Only Nicole and Karina were in the room. Karina was a little nervous.
Looking at the child in front of her, Nicole thought that her kindness had been used. She couldn't help
but feel a little annoyed, but she didn't snap at Karina.
"You can go out. I don't need you to take care of me."
Nicole's words made Karina pause for a moment, but she did not go out. She took out a pen and paper
and wrote, "I can't go out. I will stay here with you."
"I don't need you to stay here with me!"
"This is my task."
Karina's words somehow depressed Nicole.
She wanted to ignore her and even threw her out. No one would be happy if one's kindness was used.
But Karina was just a child, reminding Nicole of Zoe and Lucas. As a result, she couldn't turn her
thoughts into action.
"You step aside. Don't let me see you."
Nicole was still angry.
Karina said nothing, walked to the side of the wall, and stood there, which made Nicole think that she
was being punished to stand there.
Nicole was angry at herself for she couldn't leave Karina alone.
"I am curious. Vincent treats you like that, why are you still so loyal to him? Will you kill yourself if he
asks you to die? Are you stupid?"
When Nicole thought of Karina's dying appearance, she couldn't help but feel heartache.
Karina bit her lower lip. After some thinking, she wrote, "He gives me my life."
"Bullshit! He's not your parents. He didn't give you your life. Your life was given by your parents, not
him. Even if he adopted you and your sister, he shouldn't control your life and death arbitrarily. Karina,
you should be in charge of your own life. Do you understand?"
Nicole was so angry that she cursed.
Karina looked at Nicole and wrote, "No matter what you say, I will do whatever Uncle Vincent asks me
to do, even if he asks for my life."
"You..."
Nicole felt she was defeated.
How could there be such a stubborn child?
Originally, Nicole planned to persuade Karina to send a message to Samuel, but now it seemed
impossible.
What should she do?
Samuel would be anxious if he didn't see her when he came back.
She didn't know what Vincent wanted from Samuel. What should she do now?
Nicole was filled with anxiety, but there was nothing she could do.
Unknowingly, she fell asleep.
Seeing that she was asleep, Karina came over to check on her and knocked on the door three times.
Vincent opened the door and walked in. Looking at Nicole who was asleep, he whispered, "Clean up all
traces left behind by Nicole and me. Then you should go back. When the matter is over, I will pick you
up to meet Hedy."
Karina was shocked for a moment, then she shook her head and wrote, "I'm not going back! I want to
be with you!"
"You silly girl, I can only walk my future path by myself. You being my side will bring me trouble. Be
obedient. Wait for me. I've already made the arrangement: a person will send you to Bordeaux. Samuel
doesn't know about our relationship, so no one will stop you. Watch our home after you get back. I'll go
back and pick you up when I'm done here."
Vincent gently touched Karina's head, his eyes filled with tenderness.
This was a different Vincent. Unfortunately, Nicole fell asleep and did not see this scene.
Karina shook her head. She grabbed Vincent's hand tightly with tears in her eyes and a sad expression
on her face.
"Be obedient. Karina, you know what I'm going to do. It's inappropriate for you to stay here. At most, I
promise you that I'll go back to pick you up."
Hearing Vincent's words, Karina pointed at Nicole, meaning that Nicole needed her to take care.
Vincent shook his head, "There is no such need. I have found someone to check her condition. There
won't be serious problems. Besides, Samuel will be here soon. She will be fine."
Hearing such words, Karina finally let go of her hands.
She looked at Nicole, bowed deeply to Nicole, and then looked at Vincent, reluctant to leave.
Vincent seemed to understand what she meant. He smiled, "Don't worry, I will go back with your
favorite crystal stuffed bun."
"Be careful."
Karina grabbed his arm and wrote in his hand.
"I will. I promise."
In front of Karina, Vincent was a different person.
Karina finally left reluctantly.
Vincent sent her out of the Seapolis City at night.
After returning to the hotel, Vincent left with Nicole.
When Samuel found out that Nicole was missing, Nicole had already been gone for more than an hour.
Returning from the hospital, Samuel found no one home and started to feel uneasy.
"Nikki, Lucas?!"
Samuel shouted a few times, but no one answered him.
His heart skipped a beat and he immediately ran to the bedroom. The bedroom was empty.
The French window was open, and there were a few footprints on it. Obviously, they weren't Nicole's.
"Lucas!"
Samuel quickly went to Lucas’ room and found that Lucas was sleeping soundly on the table. The
computer in front of him was still flashing. Apparently, Lucas had suddenly fallen asleep.
He noticed some mosquito-repellent incense burning on the windowsill, which smelt strange.
Samuel's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He quickly went to the surveillance room. The surveillance had been shut down and the security guards
were sleeping.
Who else could be familiar with the Green family other than his people?
Samuel immediately thought of Vincent.
To control the time difference so precisely during his departure, someone must have helped him.
Samuel thought of Mrs. Green's sudden illness. His eyes turned cold.
It was Mrs. Green!
Did she cooperate with Vincent?
Why did they take Nicole away?
Didn't Mrs. Green like Nicole very much?
What was going on?
Mrs. Green knew that person was not Vincent, but why did she still defend him like this? She was even
willing to become his enemy for that fake Vincent!
Samuel could not understand.
He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could have a fight now.
He tried hard to bring Nicole back from the edge of death. He just told Nicole that he would give her the
best life and best protection. He did not expect that Nicole was taken away under his watch.
And the person who took her away was his mother, whom he respected the most.
Samuel felt an unspeakable pain in the heart.
He took a deep breath and didn't wake Lucas up, afraid that he would feel guilty.
Samuel picked Lucas up and placed him on the bed. After covering him with the blanket, he left the
room.
He called Jacob.
"Keep watch on the hospital. Tell me what Mrs. Green has done every day. Report her any contact with
the outside world to me."
Samuel's voice was cold. Jacob could feel his killing intent from the phone.
"Mr. Green, what happened?"
"Nicole is missing. She was taken away by Vincent. Notify everyone to watch all the intersections. If
you see Vincent, stop him with every means!"
Samuel gritted his teeth.
If he could, he wished he could tear Vincent into pieces.
Vincent had better pray that he could never find him.
Samuel was so angry that he trembled.
In less than an hour after Samuel's order was given, the entire city was under martial law, and there
was a tense atmosphere everywhere.
Jason wanted to ask Samuel about what had happened, but Samuel refused to meet him.
Since Nicole did not wish to have any contact with the Don family, he would not tell Jason anything.
Vincent and Nicole were about to leave the city when they saw a car coming from the opposite side.
The car seemed to be Jacob's.
Vincent narrowed his eyes slightly as he operated the steering wheel and headed straight for a small
alley.
