"You don't need to know why I'm here. Now you just need to go back where you came from."
Samuel had a cold expression.
Gerry looked outside and saw Samuel' people everywhere, narrowing his eyes subconsciously.
"I don't think you would do anything to Father."
"That's your father, not mine. I grew up in the Green's, and it's my dead father who raised me. As for
the person you mentioned, he's a madman. You've spent all your time with him, and been just like him
now."
Samuel finished and then looked at Nicole again.
"How could you not recognize me? What did he do? Did he bully you?"
Nicole could hear the jealousy in Samuel's tone.
"No, we just had a quarrel."
"Mommy was so angry with him that she almost lost the baby. Even Auntie Gabrielle came to our home
because of this."
Lucas shouted outside.
Samuel's anger rose.
"You pretended to be me and quarreled with my wife? I can't even bear to let her suffer. How dare
you?"
After saying this, Samuel rushed towards Gerry directly.
Gerry was ready to fight back, but he grabbed an opportunity to divert Samuel's attention and ran out
quickly.
"Stop him."
Samuel felt disdainful of him.
How could Gerry not be ashamed of playing tricks with the same face as him?
Zac had Lucas stay aside and gave Gerry a severe blow the moment he ran out.
Gerry probably did not expect Zac to be so powerful. He parried it with his arm, which went numb
immediately. Now it was impossible for him to run away.
"Take him away."
Samuel said unfeelingly, showing no mercy at all.
"Samuel, how dare you? We are brothers. Do you really want to do that to me?"
Gerry was shouting loudly when Petty came back.
"Mr. and Mrs. Green."
Nicole paused for a moment. With a look at Zac outside and Petty, she was puzzled.
Why couldn't she understand what was going here?
"Petty, you didn't get out of the Seapolis City?"
"No, Mrs. Green, I've always been here. But Mr. Green ordered us to hide ourselves for the time
being."
Hearing what Petty said, Nicole look at Samuel in confusion.
"I'll explain it to you later, darling."
Samuel was much gentler when looking into Nicole's eyes.
Petty smiled and said, "Mr. Green, as you expected, the moment you left, Elvis took this opportunity
and ran away. I guess he is using his son to buy himself time to escape."
"It can't be! He won't leave me alone! It's been both of us for so many years."
Gerry looked as if he didn't believe Petty's words.
However, Samuel said coldly, "Don't act in front of me yet. You two have been planning for so many
years and chose to come back when Laurel lost her power. You just want me to know about you and
get some money from the Green family? Is Elvis that weak, abandoning his plan and running away like
this? I don't believe it! You must have other purposes! Otherwise, why would you destroy the Kent
family? What exactly do you want to get from them? You're just pretending to be weak, while Elvis
deliberately escaped to lure away my people and buy you time, right? You had been in the Green's all
night. Did you find what you want?"
Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole frowned and thought it was too complicated. However, Gerry's
expression changed.
"Get him out of here and watch him over."
With Samuel's order, Gerry was taken away by Zac.
Petty took Lucas out.
Only Nicole and Samuel were left in the office, but she remained in a daze.
"What exactly is going on?"
Seeing Nicole's puzzled eyes, Samuel held her hand, only to find that it was cold.
"Are you feeling unwell? Is what Lucas said true? Did that guy almost caused your miscarriage? How
are you feeling now? What did Gabrielle say? Forget it, I'll call her and ask myself."
Samuel was about to make a call when Nicole stopped him.
"Don't disturb Gabrielle. I'm fine. Gerry had a fight with me this morning and pissed me off. I was even
wondering what was wrong with Samuel. It's just a mere trifle. How could he quarrel with me in front of
the children because of that and threatened to send them to the army? I was indeed wild with anger at
that time."
As Nicole spoke, Samuel's face darkened.
"Did he quarrel with you in front of the children?"
"Yeah, it's so irritating, isn't it? He even frightened Zoe into crying."
Nicole's heart ached at the thought of Zoe's crying face.
Samuel then called Zac.
"Give him a beating first."
Nicole did not stop him this time. Gerry indeed went too far and deserved a beating.
After the call, Samuel helped Nicole sit down on the chair.
He rubbed her hands until they were warm.
"I'm sorry for frightening you."
"What happened? Why would this Uncle Elvis and Gerry suddenly show up?"
Hearing Nicole's question, Samuel whispered, "Actually I expected this. Since I knew that Uncle Elvis is
alive, I've been prepared for what happened today. But I never knew Gerry exists."
"I heard from Gerry that in order to ensure the survival rate, Zama had four embryos for IVF, but only
three were viable. Elvis kept one with him. Perhaps he was also prepared for something."
Nicole told Samuel what she had heard from Gerry.
Samuel nodded.
"No wonder, I thought someone changed his face again."
"What are you talking about?"
Nicole kicked him gently, but Samuel only chuckled.
"What happened after you returned to the Green's last night?"
"When I got Lucas' call, I was puzzled. My father has passed away, but why would someone come to
me and claim to be my father? That's when I remembered Elvis. Olivia thought that I destroyed her
family with my people. I don't take the blame, so I have to find out who did this. I asked Zac and the
others to secretly follow me. No matter what happens to me, they can't do anything without my
permission."
Samuel poured a cup of warm water for Nicole and said slowly, "When I came back, I saw him. He
does look like my father, but with different eyes. My father is upright and affable, but Elvis looks vicious
with malicious intentions. He wanted to talk to me in the study. I agreed, but was knocked unconscious
after I went in."
Hearing this, Nicole became nervous.
"He is that good at fighting and can knock you unconscious?"
Samuel hurried to comfort her. "No, I pretended to faint. Otherwise, how could I find out where Elvis hid
himself and what he was going to do? Seeing me unconscious, he put me into the car, made his
excuse and left directly. However, I didn't know that Gerry, who looked exactly like me, was home. If I
had known that, I would have let Zac beat him up last night."
At this point, Samuel was filled with remorse and depression.
"It's fine. He did nothing to me. We just had a quarrel. I was also blinded and thought that you were
angry with me. I even complained to Gabrielle that you were so petty. To be honest, I was heartbroken
at that time, and even wanted to divorce you."
As soon as Samuel heard this, he hugged her tightly and said in anger, "You wanted to divorce me?
You can't even tell which one is your husband! No matter how angry and sad I am, I won't get mad at
you. Don't you know that?"
"But Olivia set you up, didn't she? I thought you wouldn't be able to let it go."
Nicole also felt that she was stupid now.
She did not expect that another man with the same look as Samuel would appear before her after
Vincent died.
However, looking at Samuel who was slightly angry, she tried to please him. "Alright, it's all my fault. I
was blinded and didn't recognize you. For the sake of me almost losing the baby, can you forgive me?"
Hearing this, Samuel was nervous.
"You really don't need to go to the hospital? Didn't I ask you to stay at Blair's house when I left
yesterday? Why did you come back?"
"I'm worried about you. You didn't call and even text me all night. I thought you were still angry, so I got
back as soon as I finished my work at 4 a.m. But Gerry was so irritating that I had to quarrel with him."
Nicole sneaked a glance at Samuel as if she was afraid that he would blame her.
But how could Samuel have the heart to do that?
He sighed, touched Nicole's head and said, "You're just too concerned about me."
"Yes. Olivia got too emotional and you were also angry yesterday. I was afraid that you would take what
she said to heart."
"How could I! She's your bestie and Booth's legs are like this because of you. How can I not let it go?
But I'm just wondering why Gerry destroyed the Kent family with his men. What do the father and son
want to get from the family? I've never heard of anything invaluable they have."
Hearing what Samuel said, Nicole paused and then whispered, "I always feel that it might have
something to do with Brian. Think about it, they went to look for him at the border because of me, but
there had been no word on that for so long. Suddenly, something like this happened to the Kent family
and Booth's legs were broken. Shouldn't we start the investigation from Brian first?"
"I knew you would this, but have you thought it over? We have no clues about what happened to the
Kent family and don't even know how long it will take to investigate. There isn't much time left for the
preliminary design competition. Do you really want to investigate?"
Hearing this, Nicole said firmly, "I need to give Olivia and her family an explanation, even if that means I
have to give up the competition!"
