"I'm not lying to you. Tim, to be honest, I wanted to get rid of you because you caused me trouble the
moment you came here. But I have figured out that you and Samuel are friends and I don't want to
offend you. I just hope that you won't interfere in this matter. She's not worth your effort, and you know
she has hidden motives."
As Jase spoke, Tim's face darkened.
"Don't meddle in my relationship. Even though she has hidden motives, I like her and want to take care
of her. What can you do to me? I have over a hundred saber cuts all over my body, and don't you give
me any compensation?"
Tim said coldly.
Jase became somewhat gloomy.
"Just tell me how much you want. I apologize."
"You think I'm short of money?"
"Then what do you want?"
Jase had never seen Tim so arrogant.
Tim sneered and said, "Admit your mistake to the higher-ups and tell them you took the money. You
must prove Maia's parents innocent."
"Are you crazy? I have such a big family business, and you want me to turn myself in? Tim, how dare
you? Do you really think you can get out of here?"
Jase looked at Tim as if he was looking at a madman.
But Tim smiled.
"We shall see whether I can get out. As for you, two ways. First, surrender yourself. Second, I'll take
you to surrender yourself. Choose one. Screw your big family business! You know whom your money
used to build up your business came from!"
"Tim, don't go too far."
Tim's tough attitude irritated Jase.
"What's the point of proving Maia's parents innocent? Maia can't go back. Listen, many people say she
finds a sugar daddy and is not pure anymore. She might have slept with men many times. It is only you
who still adore her."
"I don't allow you to curse her!"
Tim punched Jase and knocked out two of his teeth.
Seeing the blood, Jase stood up angrily and wrestled with Tim.
Jase was less strong than Tim who beat him down to the ground in a few moments.
Just as Tim was about to take Jase to police, his phone rang.
It was from Samuel. Tim frowned slightly, but he let Jase go.
"Samuel, you'd better have something urgent, or else I won't forgive you."
Overwhelmed with anger, Tim spoke rudely.
Samuel whispered, "Are you at the Jase's?"
"You know the answer."
"Don't hound him. Blair received a call from Emory, and he was told that there was someone behind
Jase and the evidence of Jase embezzling public funds has been found. The reason why we don't
make a move now is to discover the person behind him. So, be patient and don't get involved. I know
you're doing it for Maia, but as a soldier, you should know which is more important. "
After Samuel spoke, Tim frowned.
"Why is this so coincidental? There was no evidence before my investigation. But once I started, the
evidence popped up.
Tim was unconvinced.
Samuel said proudly, "Believe it or not, I have a smart son who found out the evidence and sent to the
higher-ups."
"It is credited to the gene inherited from Nicole. Stop bragging."
Tim couldn't bear the arrogant tone of Samuel, so he hung up the phone.
He returned to the hall and saw Jase glaring at him. Suddenly, he said, smiling, "Mr. Liam, let's talk
about a deal."
"What deal?"
"Give me one-third of your emerald market share. I'm not buying it. Instead, you give it to me. Then, I
won't interfere between you and Maia's parents. What do you think?"
"Tim, are you a wolf? One third of the share? Why don't you take 100%?"
Jase was so angry that his face darkened.
He really wanted to know whose phone Tim had answered just now.
Obviously, Tim knew what he was thinking.
He touched his ear and said, "I wanted to help Maia and let her know how good I am. After all, she has
been trapped into her parents' incident for so many years. But Samuel called me and told me not to
harm you. Good for you, Jase. In just a day or two, you have bonded with Samuel. But I'm not letting
you go because of my injuries. I'm not the type of person who compromises."
Jase was secretly delighted with his words.
It seemed that the priceless emerald he had sent out worked.
Jase tidied up his collar and said, "I can't give you one-third of the market share. But I can give you the
emerald-mine in the eastern mountainous area. The emerald jewelry produced in the newly developed
mine can also make you a lot of money."
Tim was obviously not satisfied, but he still nodded.
"Sure. Go get a lawyer to draft a contract now."
"Tim, it doesn’t need to be so urgent."
"I need it now."
Tim looked like a rogue, and Jase really wanted to beat him down. But it was Jase that invited Tim
back, and Jase had to be nice to him.
"Alright."
Jase found a lawyer, and they signed the contract.
Tim took the gift contract and wrote another one. He gave the emerald mine to Nicole.
"Nicole, I won't accept your travel agency free of charge. I'll buy it, and I'll mail the money to you later."
What Tim said stunned Nicole for a moment.
"You don't have to do that. I don't need that money."
"I don't need that bit of money either. Don't let your husband show off in front of me, or I'll exchange the
money for coins to smash him."
After saying that, Tim hung up the phone.
Samuel shook his head resignedly.
Tim was still so childish.
Nicole looked at Samuel, confused, and asked, "You offended him?"
"I didn't. I just flaunted my son's intelligence. Not having a son is his weakness. "
Samuel said slowly.
Nicole was astonished.
"Samuel, why are you as childish as him? Is it such amazing to have a son?"
"Yes, so amazing. Why don't you let him have a four-year-old smart son?"
Nicole didn't know how to answer him.
The man was crazy.
Her mobile phone got a message.
Nicole checked it and it was the emerald mine contract sent by Tim. She was astounded.
"Tim must have sent it wrong."
She showed the gift contract to Samuel.
Samuel immediately knew what was going on.
"He gave it to you. Take it. Anyway, this is the money for your travel agency."
"It's too much! The emerald mine!"
Nicole felt that Samuel was not good at math.
"Alright, he gives it to you, and you can keep it. I guess the travel agency will be Maia's. If you don't
take it, you two won't be square."
Samuel looked straight at Nicole who wanted to laugh at him.
"Are you kidding me? There's nothing between Tim and me. You know that."
"But I'm still jealous. My wife is so charming and adorable. What should I do? Why don't I make a chain
to lock you at home for my own appreciation?"
Samuel said, pretending to be evil.
Nicole pushed him away.
"Lock me at home? I bet once you made the chain, I would first lock you up."
"Wow! So my wife likes to play with chain. How about playing it tonight?"
"Samuel!"
Nicole surrendered to Samuel.
Samuel thought about these things all times.
Samuel laughed.
Nicole hurriedly ran out.
There was a piece of news on the big screen outside.
It was an air crash. A plane fell from the sky and lives of people on the plane were in danger.
Nicole instantly felt heavy-hearted.
"Many people might have died there!"
"What's wrong? What are you sighing about?"
Samuel walked out of the room and held Nicole's waist after he heard her sighing.
Nicole pointed at the TV and said, "Look, there's a plane crash. It seems to be in Bordeaux.
Fortunately, we came back early, otherwise I would have been scared."
"Don't be silly. We're lucky enough to avoid such disaster."
Samuel hugged Nicole tightly.
Nicole got another message.
"Nicole, have you finished reading it? Sign your name and send it back. My lawyer is waiting."
Tim said angrily.
Only then did Nicole realize that she had not settled it with Tim.
"Samuel, let me go. I'll get a pen."
"Hang on! There's a plane crash in Bordeaux. We should mourn for the dead for three seconds. What's
the rush?"
Samuel said in an unfriendly tone.
It was so mean of Tim to frequently disturb their intimacy.
Tim frowned.
"What did you say? A plane crash?"
"Right. It was just reported on TV an airplane crash took place in Bordeaux. The lives of the people on
board are at stake."
Nicole explained.
Tim was shocked instantly, feeling uneasy about it.
"Which flight?"
"Tim, what's wrong with you?"
Nicole could tell Tim's anxiety.
"Cut the crap. Tell me, what’s the fight number?"
"FG38594, I guess."
Just as Nicole finished speaking, Tim was dumbfounded.
Wasn't this Maia's flight?
What did Nicole say?
She said there was a plane crash?
How is that possible?
No!
No way!
Tim pushed away the lawyer crazily and rushed out, leaving Jase in confusion.
"What's wrong with him?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Tim's eyes turned red.
