Nicole was stunned and narrowed her eyes.
They must be the ones in the evening. To be precise, they were probably Soseph's men here to cause
trouble.
Nicole looked in the direction of bathroom where Samuel was taking a shower. She then tiptoed
towards the balcony and made a quick grab. Then, a man was pulled out.
Right at that moment, that man threw something in.
Nicole was slightly startled, and then was grabbed by someone. She then kicked that man out of the
balcony straightaway.
"Samuel?"
From his breath, Nicole recognized the person who just grabbed her.
Wasn't he taking a bath?
Why was he out all of sudden?
Nicole was dragged out of the bedroom by Samuel, with that question being at the verge of her tongue.
Then, a loud noise came from the bedroom, which rocked the whole house.
Nicole was stunned.
Karina ran out of her bedroom, rubbed her eyes and asked with gestures, "What's wrong?"
The alarm sounded outside.
Nicole wore a grim face.
She quickly pulled Karina into her arms. Since Karina was thinly clad, Nicole took Samuel's coat from
the living room and put it on her.
Samuel was kind of not happy about that, but he didn't say anything. He tugged Nicole and whispered,
"Let's go out first."
At this time, Nicole discovered that Samuel was dressed neatly and he didn't seem to be taking a
shower when all happened.
"You lied to me?"
"No, I'm just quick in dressing myself."
Having given that explanation, Samuel took Nicole and Karina out of the suite.
The waiter and manager of the hotel were here.
When the lobby manager saw Samuel, he hurriedly ask, "Mr. Green, what happened just now?"
"I don't know. Someone broke in through the window and threw something into our room. Fortunately,
we left in time. Otherwise, it's hard to tell what would happen to us. Is that the way your hotel security
system works?"
Samuel had a sullen face.
Previously, he perceived that someone was stalking Nicole when they were in the pavilion, but Nicole
denied that. He didn't find an opportune time to ask her again, so he just pled to turn in with Nicole in
her room.
If he wasn't here.... Samuel didn't dare to think about the consequences.
The lobby manager was blushed by Samuel's criticism.
"We will make improvements. Mr. Green, let's go in and see what's going on."
Samuel and Nicole entered the bedroom together with the lobby manager.
The whole bedroom was ruined beyond recognition.
A beer bottle was shattered into splinters and glass shards were everywhere. The bed seemed to be
corroded by some kind of liquid and it was beyond repair.
Samuel face became grimmer.
"Is it done by Soseph's men?"
Nicole gestured to Samuel.
"No matter who did that, you can't stay here anymore. You can go to my room tonight."
Samuel held Nicole's hand.
The liquid should be sulfuric acid, but why would it explode?
This should be examined by professionals.
Samuel and Nicole called the police.
The police arrived on the instant. They cooperated with the guards and lobby manager of the hotel to
make a further investigation.
Other guests in the hotel were so alarmed that many of them demanded to check out. For that reason,
the business of the hotel became dull.
Nicole and Samuel did not required to check out, but she went to Samuel's room to rest.
Samuel even told himself that he would never allow Nicole to be out of his sight.
Of course, Samuel's thought didn't come to Nicole's knowledge, because Samuel didn't want to give
pressure to her. Besides, he clearly knew that Nicole craved to be independent.
As the commotion raged on, Soseph received a phone call saying that he had failed.
Soseph stamped her feet in anger.
"You are good for nothing."
"Soseph, just forget about it. That man is shrewd and that woman is trained. We really did our best."
The man attempted to comfort Soseph.
Soseph sneered and said, "Do they think the newcomers were more welcome?" How long have I been
here? Under the help of my connections, how could these two newcomers defeat me? Carl, is there a
saying goes that taking the initiative gives you an advantage? If I don't gain the upper hand to kill them,
I will be doomed, so we can't abort our plan."
At Soseph's words, Carl sighed and said, "Then what do you want? With so many policemen keeping a
watch on us, we don't have a chance at all."
"We could make a way out of no way. I think they would go out. Even if they always stay in their room,
can't you go in? As long as you ruin Nicole's with sulfuric acid, I will be relieved."
On thought of being snubbed by Nicole in the hotel several days before, Soseph even wanted to tear
Nicole into pieces.
If she had the chance, she would pour the acid on Nicole's face by herself.
How lucky Nicole was? Next time, she wouldn't be so blessed. Anyway, it was difficult to hurt Nicole
when she was with Samuel.
Soseph touched her chin, with knitted brows.
"Who else is there beside them?"
"There is mute girl. She is young and is likely to be a native. I heard that they repaid some stolen things
for that girl a few days ago."
Carl told Soseph what he had known.
Soseph sneered and said, "Nicole always pretended to be a nice person, as if she is the savior of the
world. Back then, she hoped to save me in the same patronizing way, which is repellent to me. Now
that she wants to be a savior again and had that girl around her, if that girl was lost, would they be
anxious to find that girl? Wouldn’t' that be a chance for us?"
Carl paused for a moment and said somewhat uneasily, "Soseph, isn't it too risky to do this?"
"Everything is risky! Isn't it risky to ruin that woman's face with sulfuric acid? Carl, don't forget that I
paid for your mother's medical expenses. You said you would work for me."
Soseph's voice suddenly sank.
Carl gritted his teeth. It came to his mind that it was Soseph who came to his rescue when he couldn't
afford to have his mother being hospitalized. He resolutely said, "Sure, I'll help you with this."
"I will give you your due after this is done."
Soseph hung up with a colder smile.
Soseph thought, 'If that mute girl died and the news media made a hype, I would see whether Samuel
and Nicole could escape unfazed from the city or not.'
Thought of that, Soseph asked Carl to investigate Karina.
When she learnt that Karina was the girl she had kicked out, Soseph couldn't hold back a laughter.
"I've come up with a good idea. Stay tight."
Soseph hung up and smiled sinisterly.
However, Nicole and Samuel didn't know that.
Nicole was hugged tightly by Samuel on entering Samuel's room.
"You scared me! Do you know?"
Felt the rhythm of Samuel's breath and the tightness of his embrace, Nicole was also possessed by
fear.
Without Samuel, she would be injured.
She had thought that Soseph would plot against her, but she never expect that Soseph would be so
bold and lawless.
Although they had called the police, it was hard to know how much the police could do.
Nicole knew that Samuel was frightened.
She patted Samuel's back and comforted him gently.
"You're not allowed to take actions alone from now on, okay? I should be informed of all your plans. I
know you want to be independent and hate to rely on me on everything. I give you moral support for
that. However, the terrain here is peculiar and the town is exotic, you can't shut me out of your
thoughts. If I hadn't sensed someone had tailed you followed you into your room, what would happen to
you then? Nicole, I'm strong enough for that."
Samuel's words made it clear to Nicole why Samuel would appear in her bedroom.
At first, she only took those two as hooligans. Since she had already solved that problem, she chose to
keep Samuel in the dark so that he would be spared from worrying. However, who could predict that
Soseph would be so mad?
However, on thought of the cold shoulder she gave Soseph the other day, Nicole repented that she was
so inconsiderate.
"Did you hear what I said?"
Received no response from Nicole, Samuel become anxious.
Nicole felt that she wasn't a nice person anymore, because she actually enjoyed to see that Samuel,
out of worry for her, to have an anxious expression.
Samuel's care was a current of warmth, gushing through her heart and running towards her limbs.
Nicole stood on tiptoe and pecked a kiss on Samuel's cheek.
Samuel was at a loss.
Perhaps he didn't expect that he would be rewarded with a kiss. Next, he involuntarily wrapped his
arms around Nicole's waist and held her in his embrace.
"I won't take back my words. Next time, no matter what had happened, don't hide it from me."
"All right."
Nicole gestured and gave a cheerful laugh.
Karina felt that it was necessary to interrupt them with a cough. Otherwise, they would forget that she
wasn't come of her age.
So she coughed.
Having heard Karina's cough, Nicole was startled. She then pushed Samuel away, which incurred
Samuel's dissatisfaction.
"What? We were just hugging. Why did you cough? Go buy pills if you have a cold. Here's one
hundred."
Samuel tossed Karina some money.
Any man with his sense would know that Samuel didn't like the third wheel between him and Nicole.
Having followed Bruce for many years, Karina of course took the hint. Besides, she was older than
Hedy and knew how to play things by ear.
Karina smiled mischievously and picked up the money. She gestured, "My throat pains me. I will leave
you alone. Rest assured, I'm familiar with this place. I can even find a way with a blindfold. Besides, I
won't go afar, because the pharmacy was at hand. By the way, I had to buy some snacks. You know
that I would hesitate to choose the snacks, so do whatever as you please and I will go right now."
Nicole blushed at Karina's words.
She glared at Samuel coquettishly.
However, Samuel gave Karina a thumbs-up in satisfaction, "Ask the waiter to go with you. Call me if
there is an emergency."
"OK."
Karina went out with the newly-bought phone from Samuel.
Samuel cheered up.
"Sweetie, shall we continue?"
"Go away."
On thought of Karina's teasing gaze before she left, Nicole was so embarrassed.
However, Samuel was unwilling to let Nicole go. As he was about to hug Nicole and enjoyed some
sweet kisses, Karina's shrills suddenly came from outside.
