"What do you mean?"
Nicole was a little puzzled.
Samuel happened to walk downstairs and paused when he saw Ernesto. "What did you say about the
movie company just now?" he asked.
Ernesto was slightly surprised and then looked at Nicole. After seeing her nod, he said, "When the
movie company heard that it was Mrs. Green's registration, they immediately rejected it."
"Who dared to do that? That was a slap in my face!"
Samuel's smile was somewhat cold.
Ernesto felt as if the temperature in the room had uncontrollably dropped to freezing temperatures. He
could do nothing but nerve himself to say, "He's just returned from abroad and hasn't worked long in
the department."
"He seems to know nothing and so fears nothing?"
Samuel chuckled, which however terrified Ernesto.
"I don't know. I failed to do this well. I deserve your punishment."
"It has nothing to do with you. I'll deal with it later. You can leave now."
Hearing this, Ernesto hurriedly retreated.
Seeing how scared Ernesto was, Nicole sighed and said, "Can you restrain your aura? Look how you
have terrified Ernesto."
"Do I have any aura? Then why aren't you afraid?"
Samuel walked over and directly wrapped his arms around Nicole's shoulders.
Nicole was slightly embarrassed.
"How can he compare to me? I'm your wife."
"That's the point. If you're not afraid of me, why should he? After all, I don't have any feelings for him."
As he spoke, he moved his head closer to Nicole, whose face blushed and heart raced as a result.
"Stop it. Don't you feel uncomfortable as you know you can't do it?"
"It's OK."
Samuel suddenly realized that his wife was quite funny. With some teasing, she got hot under the
collar, just like a cute kitten.
"Samuel, I'm busy. I don't have any time to play around with you."
Nicole also noticed that Samuel was simply teasing her. She hurriedly pushed him away, though her
heart itched.
Seeing her like this, Samuel stopped teasing her. He pulled her hand and sat on the sofa. Then he
whispered, "I'll wait for Steven to tell me the news of Ashley, and I'll also deal with the movie company.
You can rest at home and wait for me to manage them before you go to work, okay?"
"I feel it's not good to have you do everything for me. After all, it's my idea to start the movie company.
You've been busy enough, so I'll handle it myself. I'd like to see who it is that has rejected me directly."
Nicole's eyes showed that she would not admit defeat.
Although Samuel was worried about her health, he still did not stop her.
"Alright. If you can't handle it yourself, I'm at your service anytime."
"I get it."
In order to prevent Samuel from leaning over again, Nicole hurriedly took a step back. Her careful
expression immediately amused Samuel.
"Seriously?"
"Get lost!"
Nicole felt that Samuel was like a naughty child now, yet she was not annoyed about it at all.
Samuel also knew Nicole didn't really mean what she said. He chuckled, but he still gave way to her.
Steven called at this moment.
Samuel pointed at the phone and answered it.
"Any news?"
"Yes."
Steven's voice was a little low.
"Is your wife by your side?"
"No, my daughter's sleeping."
Samuel understood as soon as he said this.
Everyone knew that Steven cared about his daughter most. No wonder he kept his voice so soft.
"Tell me the number."
"I'll send it to you on Twitter. Let me tell you something. Don't contact her unless you have something
important. She's got a lot of surgeries recently."
"I see."
After Samuel hung up, Steven sent him Ashley's number.
After getting the number, Nicole gave Samuel a happy peck.
"Thank you, honey."
"Just one kiss and that's it?"
Samuel was not satisfied. He was still thinking about the soft touch that didn't last for a second.
Nicole rolled her eyes upwards and said, "That kiss is already a great reward. I'm going upstairs."
"Is this kicking down the ladder?"
Samuel was a little upset.
Why did he felt he was thrown away upon being used by his wife?
Nicole chuckled, but did not deny it. She happily took the phone number and went upstairs to the
bedroom.
As for why Nicole didn't make calls in front of him, Samuel didn't think too much. He definitely gave his
wife the personal space.
Thinking of the movie company Ernesto had mentioned, he couldn't help but pick up the phone and dial
a number.
After returning to her bedroom, Nicole called Ashley according to the number.
Soon, a cold voice was heard at the other end.
"Who's that?"
"Hello, my name is Nicole Bush. I'm Samuel Green's wife. I just asked Mr. Bradford for your phone
number."
Nicole said straightforwardly.
Ashley was slightly surprised, and then nodded and said, "I know you. I heard that the house I bought
is yours. Is there anything wrong with the procedures?"
"Yes, that house is mine. I have the property ownership certificate."
Nicole first talked about the house.
Ashley frowned slightly. She hadn't expected her assistant to make such a mistake.
"Sorry, my assistant handled it. I'll have her deal with the rest things. I promise to return your house,
and I'll also get my money back."
"I didn't mean to rush you. Actually, I call you to ask a favor. And if you really like the house, I can give
it to you. I will also get your money back."
Ashley paused for a moment with Nicole's words.
"You ask me for a favor?"
"Yes, my younger brother has a comminuted fracture of his leg. He's only in his early twenties now. It
doesn't feel good to see him spend his precious time in bed. I heard that Doctor Ashley has remarkable
professional skills, so I want to ask if you could do me a favor and perform an operation on him."
As soon as Nicole finished speaking, Ashley answered.
"I'm afraid I can't help you. My surgery schedule for the week is full."
"Doctor Ashley, I know that you are very busy and that everyone may beg you for help, but given that
your husband and mine are like brothers, could you help me?"
Nicole rarely begged in such a humble manner, but now, for the sake of Booth, she had no choice but
to do so.
Booth was so young that she could not bear to watch him spend the rest of his life in bed. That would
be too cruel for him, and she would feel sorry for that.
Ashley was not a soft-hearted person, but she paused slightly when Nicole mentioned Steven.
"I'll stay in City B recently. If you can come over, I'll help diagnose him in the evening. My daytime is
fully occupied."
Hearing Ashley's words, Nicole got happy immediately.
"Yes, of course. We'll be there soon. Thank you, Doctor Ashley."
"Since we are both the brothers' wives, just call me Ashley. I have an operation to perform later, so I'll
leave now. Just call me when you arrive."
"OK, no problem."
After Nicole hung up, she still found it kind of incredible.
She could feel by Ashley's voice that she was very cold, but she couldn't care less about it now.
Thinking that Booth's leg might recover, Nicole got extremely excited.
She called Olivia after hanging up. Unluckily, no one answered.
Nicole knew that Olivia was looking for a job everywhere and that she didn't even rest to earn money.
She might be playing an extra or something now.
Nicole couldn't wait any longer and went downstairs immediately.
Samuel was gone. He might have gone to the company.
Nicole told her family a few words and then asked Ernesto to drive over. She went to Olivia's rental
house first.
Booth was translating the documents when he saw in surprise Nicole come.
"Nicole, what brings you here? Are you looking for my sister? She's not here."
"I'm not looking for her. I'm looking for you."
Nicole couldn't hide her excitement in her expression, which puzzled Booth.
"Looking for me? You want the documents? I haven't finished translating them yet. I need some more
time."
"Forget about the documents. It's about your leg. Booth, I've contacted Ashley, the Greatest Global
Scalpel. She has promised to diagnose you."
Booth was stunned for a moment by Nicole's words. When he realized what Nicole had said, he asked
in disbelief, "Nicole, are you serious?"
From the bottom of his heart, he was still eager to stand up.
Nicole knew that all her efforts were worthwhile.
"Yes, I'm serious! I've really contacted her, but she doesn't have time to come over. We're going to City
B."
After the initial excitement, Booth fell silent for a moment.
"It would take a lot of money, right?"
"Don't think about the money. I'll take care of it."
Hearing what Nicole said, Booth whispered, "Nicole, you don't owe us anything. There's no need to do
that."
"Then you'll borrow my money, and you can return it to me twice in the future as soon as your leg is
healed. I know you are talented. If you can really stand up one day, I don't think you will go back on
your word, right? Why don't we write an IOU?"
Nicole knew that Booth, like Olivia, was quite stubborn and self-respecting. Now he was finally
somewhat persuaded by her such words.
"I'll talk to my sister about it."
"OK."
Booth quickly called Olivia, but there was still no answer.
He was a little worried.
"Nicole, do you know what my sister is doing? Last time, she came back with a cold. And she went out
again before recovering. She didn't say anything even if I asked her. Now that I can't get through to her,
is there any accident that might happen to her?"
Nicole frowned slightly.
An accident?
Thinking of Olivia's work, along with the director's attitude Ernesto had mentioned, Nicole began to feel
uneasy.
"I'll go out and take a look. Prepare yourself. If your sister agrees, we'll leave later."
"Alright, thank you, Nicole."
Hearing Nicole was going to look for Olivia, Booth naturally obeyed.
Nicole went out and asked Ernesto to locate the nearest shooting scene. She directly asked him to
drive there at breakneck speed.
However, when she arrived, she had never expected to see such an infuriating scene.
"What are you doing?"
She quickly stepped forward and pulled those people away. Then she subconsciously protected Olivia
behind her. Her beautiful eyes looked around the crowd and finally lingered on the director.
"Is this your idea?"
