"Mr. Green, Mr. Lucas is missing."
"What do you mean, Lucas is missing?"
Samuel grabbed the phone and almost collapsed.
The man said with fear, "Mrs. Green asked us to bring Lucas to settle down in the other provinces. On
the way, Mr. Lucas somehow heard our conversations. Hearing that something happened to Miss
Nicole, he took advantage of our carelessness to escape. Sorry, Mr. Green. We did not take good care
of Mr. Lucas."
"If you can't find Lucas, none of you will be spared easily."
Samuel said fiercely and threw the phone to the window.
A happy family just broke up like this?
Nicole left and Lucas disappeared. Zoe was with Finn now. What exactly happened?
Laurel's shrill cry came from the Green's.
"Samuel, you unfilial son! How dare you ask Claudina to spill hot water on me! You will suffer! You will
be struck by lightning!"
Laurel cursed angrily. Her voice traveled far away. But someone covered her mouth soon.
Claudina spoiled hot water on Laurel's back. Laurel shivered in pain, but could not shout out.
Samuel didn't seem to hear it and directly started the car to the military compound.
Because of the special relationship, Samuel drove directly into the military compound.
When Samuel found Zoe, Finn said with guilt, "Mr. Green, I'm sorry."
"Nicole is your owner. You forced her grandmother to death? Finn, what the hell are you thinking?"
Samuel knew that Finn liked Nicole. The feelings in his eyes could not be hidden. But Samuel had
never exposed it. In a sense, Finn's feelings for Nicole would make him risk everything to protect
Nicole, which was also what Samuel wanted. However, Samuel had never expected that Finn would go
to the Don family to force Nicole's grandmother to death.
Finn bit his lower lip and said painfully, "I had no choice but to do it. Mrs. Green was too tough at that
time."
"I have thought that your feelings for Nicole would make you risk everything to protect her. I was wrong.
At the critical moment, you still cared about yourself the most. Therefore, Finn, you are not good
enough for her."
Hearing Samuel's words, Finn froze.
He had thought that he was the only one who knew his feelings for Nicole. He didn't expect that
Samuel would say that today. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Thinking about that he
didn't firmly defend Nicole at that time, Finn felt guilty again.
"I...."
"Although you saved Zoe, I won't be grateful to you. If you had saved Mrs. Don back then, perhaps the
situation would be different now. I won't trust you anymore."
Samuel walked into Zoe's room.
Zoe had fallen asleep. But there were tears on her face. Her favorite chicken drumstick was placed on
the table. But she even did not eat a single bite of it.
Samuel felt tortured.
He picked Zoe up.
Zoe suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw Samuel, she stretched out her arms to wrap around his
neck. She cried, "Daddy, you're back? You are here to pick me up, aren't you? Daddy, I'm telling you,
there was an old witch who had turned into my grandmother. She was so fierce in our house. She
made Mommy and Joseph disappear. Daddy, hurry up and ask her to bring Mommy and Joseph back!"
"OK!"
Samuel held Zoe tightly and felt distressed.
Zoe was quietly held by him and suddenly said, "Daddy, will Mommy not come back?"
"No! Mommy will come back. Mommy loves Zoe so much and is worried about Zoe. She will come
back. Daddy will take you home!"
Samuel held Zoe and turned to leave.
As Finn was about to follow them, he heard Samuel say, "From today onwards, you are no longer a
member of the Green family. As for the manager of Night Elf Empire, it is up to Nicole. I don't know if
she will allow you to continue in this position. You can do it yourself."
With that, Samuel left.
Finn suddenly felt like he was like a duckweed and had lost his home overnight.
He could not go back to the Green family. Could he go back to Night Elf Empire?
Now that Nicole was missing, Laurel would break with Samuel sooner or later. What would happen to
Night Elf Empire then?
Finn suddenly paused.
He had to go back to Night Elf Empire!
When Nicole was away, he had to help her manage Night Elf Empire. Then, when she came back, he
could return Night Elf Empire to her completely.
This was what he owed Nicole!
Yes! That was it!
Thinking of this, Finn got up and went to Night Elf Empire.
Samuel did not bring Zoe back to the Green's, but settled her into the seaside villa where he and Nicole
had lived.
When Zac saw Samuel coming back with Zoe, he asked with worry, "Mr. Green, where is Petty? Where
is Miss Nicole?"
Samuel felt sad again.
"Petty will be back soon."
With that, he took Zoe back to her room.
Under Samuel's comfort, Zoe slowly fell asleep. But she was not sleeping well, as if she had been
frightened.
Samuel had been by her side.
Not long after, Jacob brought Petty back.
Hearing that Samuel had returned, Petty hastened to Zoe's room.
"Mr. Green, hurry to save Miss Nicole. She...."
...
Samuel gestured for Petty to whisper.
Only then did Petty realize that Zoe was lying on the bed.
"Miss Zoe?"
"From now on, I'll leave Zoe to you. Petty, I know everything about you. Don't worry. I'll drop the case.
Stay here and take good care of Zoe."
"What about you?"
"I'm going to find Nicole."
Samuel tucked Zoe in and kissed her on the forehead before getting up and leaving.
"Mr. Green, you know everything?"
Petty couldn't help but ask when she saw Samuel's despondent expression.
"Yes. Don't worry. I will get justice for Nicole."
With that, Samuel walked out.
He drove back to the Green's.
When Claudina saw him come back, she hastened to step forward and said, "Mr. Green, should I call a
doctor for Mrs. Green?"
"Did Nicole see a doctor back then?"
Hearing Samuel's words, Claudina shake her head.
"No. Mrs. Green said that no one was allowed to call a doctor for Miss Nicole. Afterwards, Petty came,
but was taken away by Mrs. Green in the name of theft. Mrs. Green ordered Miss Nicole to clean the
house with her injuries before she could apply medicine. Besides, Mrs. Green also spilled cold water to
wake Miss Nicole up."
"So, do you need me to teach you how to do?"
Samuel's words shocked Claudina for a moment. Then, she said, "I understand."
Soon, cries came from Laurel's room again.
"Samuel! You bastard! How dare you ask someone to spill cold water all over me? I'm your mother!
Aren't you afraid of retribution? You unfilial son! If I had known you would grow up like this, I would
have strangled you when you were a child."
Samuel turned a deaf ear.
When Claudina came downstairs, she held a basin in her hand. She looked at Samuel and went to the
bathroom.
When she came out, Claudina asked, "Mr. Green, should I ask Mrs. Green to clean up?"
"She is my mother. How can she do these things? Bring her down. I have found a good place for her to
live out her life in retirement."
Samuel was calm when he said this. But it struck terror into others.
Claudina had Laurel brought down.
At this moment, Laurel was not dignified at all.
Her hair was a mass of tangles. The water soaked her clothes, and the scald on her back could now be
clearly seen.
She was in such a sorry state, which reminded Samuel of Nicole.
When Nicole's arm was injured, was she also in such a sorry state? Was she also suffocating in pain?
When Laurel saw Samuel, she broke out into curses.
"You ungrateful and vicious man! You deserve to be cut to pieces! I did it to avenge Vincent! Blame it
on the fact that she is the young lady of the Don family and is Mark's niece! Since Mark escaped, she
would have to atone for him! What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything wrong! It's you! It's you who was
bewitched by her and even forgot how your fellow brother died. It's you who had no conscience and
disregarded the life and death of Vincent for the sake of your own feelings. You're so cold-blooded and
heartless. A person like you deserves to be alone for a lifetime!"
Laurel's every word was like a sharp dagger piercing into Samuel's heart.
He looked at Laurel and said word by word, "Vincent was not killed by Mark!"
"I don't listen! These were all sophistry! You and Mark deliberately forged the evidence, didn't you? Do
you think you can be with Nicole by doing this? No way! Mrs. Don's death makes it impossible for you
to be together. Samuel, if you had been nicer to me, I might have found you a noble wife to help you.
Right now, you'll be alone. Your son will not forgive you!"
Laurel was now like a mad dog, wishing she could tear Samuel to pieces.
Samuel gripped the arms of the chair. He looked at Laurel and said coldly, "If you insist on saying that, I
can't do anything about it. I've said that I don't need any noble ladies to help me. I just like Nicole. No
matter what she becomes, I don't care. Even if she is now dumb, I will still love her as always. I'll get
her back. Whether she'll forgive me or not is none of your business. But I don't think it's suitable for you
to live here anymore. I have found you another place to live."
"You want to send me away? Samuel, don't even think about it! I won't leave the Green's! Over my
dead body"
"Then you go die."
As soon as Samuel said this, Laurel froze.
She asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"I said since you wouldn't leave the Green's, then go die for the Green family. I heard that you asked
someone to force Nicole to take medicine which would make her dumb? I wonder how the medicine
tastes. I think you also want to know, right?"
"Samuel, how dare you!"
Laurel panicked.
At this time, the man, who had once forced Nicole to take the medicine, walked over again with a glass
of water in his hand. Laurel struggled.
"I won't drink! I don't want to drink! Samuel, you can't do this to me! You can't!"
