No one answered Jacob. They only told him that Bella was released on bail and didn't mention
anything else.
Jacob wanted to ask something else, while the other party politely took him out.
Jacob felt so complicated. As a son, he heaved a sigh of relief since Bella was released on bail. But as
Samuel's brother, he felt worried. He didn't know if Bella's release on bail was a good thing.
Just as Jacob was thinking about what to do, Cornell appeared and took Jacob into an alley.
He was much more haggard than before when he was a doctor.
"Give me some money. I want to go abroad."
Cornell took it for granted that he extended his hand to Jacob to ask for money.
Jacob looked at this man who was his half brother and felt extremely disgusted.
"How did you get out? Were you also released on bail? Who did that? Where is my mother?"
Facing a series of questions from Jacob, Cornell was very impatient.
"Why do you have so many questions? How do I know who bailed her? How do I know where she
went? Maybe she has escaped with one big shot. Damn, women are so unreliable. She ran away and
I'm broke now. I don't even have a job because of her. My reputation is also ruined. I'm so poor now.
You're her son. You have to compensate me! Hurry up and give me money. I'll be leaving tonight."
Cornell's attitude irritated Jacob.
"Her son? Can she give birth to a son by herself? I've grown up. You threw me into an orphanage.
What did you give me all these years? Why do you have the never to ask me for money?"
"I gave you your life!"
Cornell was arrogant.
Jacob sneered as he grabbed Cornell's collar. With a little strength, Cornell's feet were above the
ground.
"You, you, you! You dare to do this to me! Aren't you afraid of being punished?"
"Since you're not scared, why should I be scared? Tell me. Who bailed you?"
Jacob's indifference and violence made Cornell scared.
"I don't know." He trembled. "Someone told me that I was released on bail and he told me to leave
quickly, so I came out. Prison was no place for a man. As long as someone gets me out, I don't care
who he is."
Jacob frowned slightly.
Who was he?
Who secretly bailed Cornell and Bella out?
What did he want?
"Where are you going?"
"Go abroad. My reputation is ruined and I can't survive anymore. I have to go abroad. You are my son.
You have to give me money."
Jacob felt sorry for Cornell and his shamelessness. However, to find out who was behind this, Jacob
said coldly, "I will give you 200,000. Whether you are dead or alive in the future has nothing to do with
me."
"Only 200,000? I gave you your life, so that you can follow Samuel and live a good life. But you only
give me 200,000?"
"Do you want it? If you don't want it, then you'll have nothing. You can starve yourself to death."
After Jacob finished speaking, he threw Cornell to the ground.
Ruthlessness flashed in Cornell's eyes, but it disappeared quickly.
"Of course I want it. I just have a bad luck. Hurry up and give me the money."
"Can I take 200,000 with me? You find a place to wait for me and I'll give it to you in two hours."
Jacob turned around and was about to leave.
But Cornell grabbed his arm and said, "Let me follow you and get the money. Where can I go now? I'm
just a person hated by anyone. Otherwise, why would I go abroad?"
"Aren't you afraid that Samuel will cripple you when he sees you? I need to report my work to Samuel."
Cornell shrank when hearing this.
Anyway, he was scared of Samuel. Thinking of that he was reduced to such a poor situation because
of Samuel and Nicole, he hated him so much. Unfortunately, he could not be compared to Samuel. So
he could only leave this place now and thought about it later.
Jacob saw Cornell's expression and knew what he was thinking, but he pretended not to see anything.
Cornell pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll wait for you at a small hotel next to your company.
You cannot stand me up. Otherwise...."
"Since you have time to threaten me, why don't you think about how to leave this place? With money
alone, no one can leave the Seapolis City."
Jacob's words reminded Cornell and his expression darkened.
Jacob didn't care about his matter. He stepped out of the alley. However, when he was about to turn
around the corner, he made a gesture and two bodyguards immediately came up to him.
"Mr. Brown, what is it?"
"Follow him and see who he contacts. I want to know every detail."
"Yes."
After the bodyguards kept up with Cornell, Jacob turned around and left. He returned to the Green's.
Samuel was at work, while Nicole was still resting. Finishing the matter of the Miller family, Nicole was
so exhausted that she just wanted to sleep.
Jacob came to the study and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Samuel's voice was hoarse.
Jacob was slightly stunned. He made a cup of coffee for Samuel and came in.
"Mr. Green."
He put the coffee on Samuel's table.
Samuel raised his head and was stunned when he saw Jacob.
"Why are you back? Didn't you ask for a day off?"
"There's something I want to tell you, as a reminding."
Hearing this, Samuel put down what he was doing.
"What happened?"
"Bella and Cornell were released on bail."
"What?"
Samuel frowned.
Jacob felt rather embarrassed. Although this matter had nothing to do with him, Bella was his mother.
And he felt that he could not face Nicole and Samuel.
Seeing Jacob like this, Samuel hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know. People in the prison were good at keeping secrets and they did not tell me anything.
Cornell asked me for money and said that he wanted to leave the Seapolis City and go abroad.
However, I told him that except money, he has to find someone to get him a car or a boat. I have
already sent someone to keep an eye on him. If anyone contacts him, I will find out who is behind all
this."
Since Jacob had arranged everything, Samuel nodded in satisfaction.
"You can handle this yourself."
Jacob was moved since Samuel still trusted him so much.
"Mr. Green, aren't you afraid that I will take this opportunity to let them go? After all, they are my
parents."
"It doesn't matter if you let them go. This is human nature. I won't blame you for that. Don't think too
much. Do whatever you want. Don't feel burdened. I've told you that you're my brother. I believe you."
Jacob's eyes suddenly became moist when hearing this "I believe you".
After so many years, if it wasn't for Samuel, he would have begged for living, let alone his current
achievement and status.
Jacob bit his lower lip and said excitedly, "Mr. Green, don't worry. I definitely won't do anything against
my conscience."
"That's good. Don't be too nervous. Do what you are supposed to do."
"Alright."
Jacob nodded.
When he turned around and was about to leave, he thought of something and stopped.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that Olivia is coming back. They chased Brian to the border area and
Brian directly went into the bleak forest. Olivia and her younger brother are not locals, and they were
not familiar with the jungle. Her younger brother was poisoned by insects and was treated there for a
couple of days. But the situation was not good, so they went abroad. Olivia planned to go with her
younger brother, but thinking that they were told by Mrs. Green to find Brian, she wanted to come back
and personally tell Mrs. Green about this. She'll arrive this evening. Mr. Green, remember to tell Mrs.
Green later. I'm afraid she'll be anxious if she knows about Olivia's younger brother all of a sudden. So
we'd better not tell her that."
Since Jacob was still thinking about Nicole, Samuel was very touched.
"Alright, take it easy. Don't be too tired. I heard you went to see Martha?"
"Yes, I have to pay back some of my mother's crimes."
Samuel couldn't bear to see Jacob like this.
"What Bella did has nothing to do with you."
"Yep, but after all, she's my mother. I have to compensate. Mr. Green, I'm going out first. Cornell wants
200,000. I'll go to the bank and give him the money. By the way, I'll see if he's following me."
Samuel was certain of Jacob's capability. He nodded and watched Jacob leave. He no longer wanted
to work.
Brian's matter happened long time ago, and Samuel couldn't recall it for a while. After Jacob's
reminding, he remembered that it was something that happened when he fainted in Bordeaux. He
didn't expect that it would bring such great harm to Olivia and her younger brother.
Olivia was Nicole's best friend. If Nicole knew about this, she would definitely feel painful. Before Olivia
came back, Samuel turned off the computer, left the study, and went to the bedroom.
Nicole was still asleep.
Seeing that Nicole slept soundly, Samuel really didn't want to wake her up. He hesitated for a while,
and finally left the room. He sent a message to Olivia, to tell her about Nicole's recent situation. He
asked Olivia to be careful when she talked with Nicole and not to tell her too many details.
Olivia did not reply. She should be on the plane.
Samuel sighed, took off his coat and went to the kitchen.
Cara was not at home. Petty and Zac went on a honeymoon trip. There was no one that could help
him. So he could only make some food for Nicole himself.
After Jacob left the Green's, he received a phone call from the bodyguards, saying that Cornell called
someone and then left. Now they were following Cornell.
Hearing this, Jacob's gaze darkened.
Was Cornell going to meet the person who bailed him? Or could there be some other news?
Jacob got the location, and then drove there without stopping. However, when he was about to turned
around the corner, a van suddenly came towards Jacob and almost crashed him.
Jacob narrowed his eyes and hurriedly turned the steering wheel, but it was too late. With a "bang",
Jacob crashed into the windshield and his car was thrown four to five hundred meters away due to the
collision.
Blood dripped from the gap of the car door onto the ground, which was so startling.
