"Samuel, what do you want?"
Laurel panicked.
Samuel said coldly, "Bring Mrs. Green into the room and serve her well. If you guys want to continue
working in the Green family, don't let her out without my permission."
After he finished speaking, he coldly looked around. That cold gaze caused everyone to
subconsciously shiver.
"Mrs. Green, please!"
Laurel had never thought that she would go through what she had done to Nicole now.
"How dare you!"
Laurel could not accept this fact.
Samuel did not say anything. But his men had known how cruel he was. They forcibly brought Laurel
into the room and guarded her.
"Samuel, you are so ungrateful and vicious! You're not my own child after all. So, you treat me like this!
Honey, did you see that in heaven? This is the son I have raised with so much effort. This is your good
son!"
Laurel cried and shouted in the room.
"Mr. Green, you see...."
Jacob asked in embarrassment, afraid that it would spread and damage Samuel's reputation.
However, Samuel said coldly, "Ignore her. I want to know in detail what happened during my absence,
especially about the Don family and Nicole. Everyone who knows the truth can tell me. The more
detailed the better."
"Alright, I'll do it."
Jacob couldn't calm down.
He never expected that when everything was about to pass, Nicole would have an accident in the
Green's. What was most unexpected was that the person who attacked Nicole was Laurel.
At this moment, Mark came with Jason.
"Samuel!"
As soon as Mark entered, he punched Samuel.
Samuel could dodge. But he did not, allowing Mark to punch him.
He felt a burning sensation in his nose. A hot current flowed out from his nose.
"Mr. Green!"
Jacob hurried to hand Samuel a tissue to cover his nose.
"Mr. Mark, if you have something to say, we can talk about it. What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Good for your Green family. You guys forced my mother to death! Where's Laurel?"
Mark blushed furiously.
He had been away for five years and endured the humiliation, looking forward to finishing his mission
and returning home to see his mother. Unexpectedly, when he came back, he only saw his mother's
body.
He heard from the servants at home that Laurel forced his mother to commit suicide. Hearing this, Mark
became angry and directly came here with Jason.
Samuel pushed Jacob away and looked at Mark and said, "I just knew about this. You know that I just
came back like you. You lost your mother, and I lost my wife. Now, Nicole is missing. I am not trying to
shirk responsibility for my mother. I just think we should find Nicole first and then talk about other
things."
"Nicole is missing? Why? Did Laurel do something to her? Samuel, my servants said that my mother
agreed to commit suicide because she wanted to repay the life we owed to your family and to let Nicole
to live a good life in the Green family without being bullied. Now that my mother is dead, you tell me
that Nicole is missing. Do you mean that there is no point in my mother's death?"
Mark trembled.
Samuel said painfully, "No one wants to see such a thing happen and I also don't want it. It can only be
said that the misunderstanding of Vincent's death is too hard for both of our families."
"Even so, you shouldn't hurt Nicole. She is your legal wife! Samuel, let me tell you, it will be better that
Nicole is fine, or I won't let you go."
While Mark was speaking, the man, who had forced Nicole to take the medicine earlier, heard that
Samuel had returned and Laurel had been controlled. He hastened to run over to admit his mistake to
Samuel.
Without noticing Mark and Jason, he ran straight to Samuel and knelt down.
"Mr. Green, I was forced by Mrs. Green. There were old and young at my home. I had no choice!"
Samuel glanced at him and said coldly, "What's going on?"
"After Mrs. Green knew that Mrs. Don had committed suicide, she agreed to let Miss Nicole go.
However, she was afraid that Miss Nicole would talk nonsense after leaving and damage the reputation
of the Green family. So, she asked me to force Miss Nicole to take the medicine which would make her
dumb!"
"What did you say?"
Samuel and Mark moved at the same time and directly grabbed the man by the collar.
That man was almost strangled. But he didn't dare to struggle, saying in a hurry, "I was forced. Mr.
Green, if I didn't do this, my family would be miserable."
"You dare to drug Nicole and made her dumb? You're courting death!"
Mark kicked his man to the ground.
However, Samuel let go of his grip.
Medicine which would made people dumb?
Nicole was dumb?
He suddenly remembered the last time he saw Nicole in. Laurence's car.
She turned her head to the window and didn't look at him at all.
At that time, he thought that it was Adela. But now that Samuel thought of it, he felt that Nicole was
probably disappointed in him. She was so disappointed that she didn't even want to look at him.
She lost her lovely voice?
No!
How was this possible?
This was absolutely impossible!
Samuel could not keep his feet and staggered, falling onto a chair beside him. His face was as white as
paper.
Jason glared at Samuel and said, "We want Laurel to pay her life for a life."
Samuel remained silent.
He also wanted Laurel to pay the price. But there were some things he couldn't do. Anyway, he was
Laurel's son.
"What? Are you unwilling?"
Seeing that Samuel did not say anything, Mark turned his head and asked with a fierce look.
Samuel's heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe.
What a terrible thing Nicole had experienced in such a short period of time.
How could she bear it alone?
Seeing Jason and Mark like this, Samuel whispered, "I cannot hand her to you at the Green's.
Tomorrow, I will send her to the Green family's cemetery to accompany my father. It can be considered
a punishment for her."
"What? That's all? Samuel, Nicole is your wife! How many wrongs did she suffer for you? You want to
let it go by punishing your mother like this?"
Jason simply couldn't believe his ears. If it wasn't for the disability of his legs, he really wanted to beat
Samuel.
But Mark could hear Samuel's implication.
He pulled Jason and said coldly, "Our Don family will settle this debt with your family. But the most
important thing now is to find Nicole. Our Don family's child has been hurt by you guys. I cannot let her
suffer outside anyway."
With that, he forcibly pulled Jason away.
Samuel felt desperate.
His beloved was hurt by his closest relative. But he was not by her side. How frightened and helpless
she was at that time.
Seeing Samuel like this, Jacob couldn't help but say, "Mr. Green, are you alright?"
"Not good. I even feel like I am pierced to the heart. But Mark is right. The first priority now is to find
Nicole. Any news from Laurence?"
"Yes. Laurence went back to Mr. Miller with Doctor Morgan, who was trying to cure Adela. However,
Nicole and Joseph got off the car halfway. Morgan said that she did not know where they went."
Jacob told Samuel the latest news.
Samuel gripped the arm of the chair, his fingernails sinking into it. But he didn't notice it.
"Where did they get off? Get all the surveillance videos nearby. Find them by all means and at all
costs."
"Alright, I'll do it right now."
Jacob left.
The people in the hall held their breath in fear.
Samuel was pierced to the heart with guilt.
Five years ago, he failed to protect Nicole, letting her be buried in the fire and nearly killing his two
children. Five years later, he still failed to protect Nicole and let her be hurt by Laurel.
As her husband, he was too useless.
Samuel blamed himself and felt guilty. The mixed feelings surrounded him and almost drowned him.
"I want to know everything! Everything!"
Samuel said coldly, his voice husky.
Now that everyone knew about Samuel's cruel methods, they quickly told him everything.
When he learned that Nicole was even doused with cold water to be awakened to do housework after
being scalded by Laurel with boiling water, Samuel clenched his fists and veins stood out on the back
of his hands.
After they finished speaking, everyone was cautious.
Samuel was silent for a long time before he said, "Where was Zoe?"
"Miss Zoe was taken away by Finn. During that time, Claudina had taken care of Miss Zoe."
Someone spoke up for Claudina.
Samuel nodded and said, "Let Claudina be the housekeeper of the Green's and leave everything to
her. Besides, find Finn as soon as possible."
"Mr. Green, Finn is in military compound."
One of his men told him where Finn was.
Samuel hastened to stand up. He took two steps and stopped, saying, "Mrs. Green likes to drink tea.
Boil the kettle and let her take a bath."
The servant was astonished, not understanding what he meant.
Claudina immediately understood.
"Alright, I will arrange it, Mr. Green."
"Clean Miss Zoe's room. I'll go pick Zoe up."
After saying that, Samuel walked out.
Jacob sent him a message, saying that Petty had been sent to the police station in the name of theft by
Laurel for protecting Nicole.
Samuel asked him to bail Petty out.
He got into the car alone, locked the door, covered his chest and lay on the steering wheel. His heart
ached so much that he could hardly breathe.
He had only been away for two days. How did things turn out like this?
Although he knew that Laurel had a complaint against Nicole, he didn't expect Laurel to treat Nicole so
cruelly.
Samuel felt that the oxygen was getting thinner and thinner. He was almost unable to breathe.
Nicole, where the hell were you?
Why didn't she even look at him and tell him everything even though she went past him? Was she
really disappointed in him?
Could Nicole forgive him, return to the Green family, and come back to him?
Samuel was not sure. He only wanted to take back Zoe and Lucas, hoping that the two children could
move Nicole, so that she would come back.
But at this moment, Jacob sent him the news of Lucas, which shocked and scared Samuel.
