It was Mr. and Mrs. Bush!
Nicole knew why they came.
"Nicole, how are you?"
Mrs. Bush's gaze showed that she felt ached for her.
Just like before, she looked at Nicole with concerns, making her heart feel a little moved.
"I'm alright."
She took a step forward and took over the things in Mrs. Bush's hands.
"Your father and I bought this for you, and it's good for your body. Remember to take it."
Mrs. Bush's eyes were kind, and Nicole felt a little bitter.
"OK, thank you."
"Where do you live now? What's wrong with you and Samuel? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Mr. Bush frowned slightly. Nicole didn't know how to answer the questions she asked.
"I have things to do here. I won't return to the Seapolis City for a while."
"What's more important than your body? You've already miscarried. How can you be here alone?
What's wrong with Samuel for leaving you here alone? If you say that there's nothing wrong with you
two, I don't believe you."
Mr. Bush's was an impulsive person.
When Nicole heard that they were concerned about her, her tone couldn't help but soften a little.
"I'll settle the matter with him myself. Are you here for Melissa?"
When Nicole mentioned Melissa, the expressions of the Mr. and Mrs. Bush changed.
Noticing the changes on their faces, Nicole felt depressed again.
"Mom and Dad, if it's because of Melissa, then you can go back. I can't do anything about it."
"Why can't you do something? Nicole, if you let it go, the police surely won't charge her. They will let
her go. Your father and I have only one daughter in our lifetime. Can you spare her for the sake of us
raising you for so many years?"
Mrs. Bush suddenly grabbed onto the corner of Nicole's clothes. Her pitiful look was especially dazzling
in Nicole's eyes.
"She is your daughter, and I am not, am I? Didn't I treat you like my biological parents after all these
years? Mom, follow your heart and tell me if I did anything wrong. Now she has not only given others
my design blueprints which were the results of my hard work, but also bought someone to kill me. Do
you think that Melissa didn't do anything wrong? I could have been killed. "
Nicole felt a little heart broken.
Mr. Bush frowned and said coldly, "Aren't you alright now?"
"My child was dead! Is it alright to you?"
Nicole looked at her father as if she was looking at a stranger.
Since when did they treat her so coldly?
Mr. Bush didn't dare to look directly at Nicole. He hurriedly turned his head and whispered, "You can
still give birth to another child. Besides, it's not like it was your only child. Don't you have Lucas and
Zoe? It's acceptable to lose a child. However, Melissa isn't married yet."
Nicole's heart was completely cold.
She shouldn't have expected anything.
Originally, she thought since they brought supplements to see her, they would still care about her. She
didn't expect that they would be so cold.
Nicole sneered and stuffed the supplements back into Mrs. Bush's hands before turning around and
leaving.
"Nicole, you can't leave Melissa behind. If your mother didn't trick us, Melissa wouldn't be like this.
Think of it as a redemption for your mother, okay? If you let Melissa go, we will take her far away, and
we will give up on the house. I promise that Melissa won't disturb you again in the future, okay? I beg
you, please!"
Mrs. Bush said as she knelt down for Nicole.
There were so many people on the street. At the moment Mrs. Bush knelt, Nicole realized that they
were planning to morally hijack her.
Had they finally spoken their mind?
It turned out that they were still blaming Audrey for her schemes back then.
Nicole turned her head to look at the two old men who raised her. She really wanted to keep the good
memories from before, but they didn't give her the chance.
"I remember that the relationship between you and me has already been bought out by ten million,
right?"
Nicole's words caused Mrs. Bush's face to turn a little pale.
"If you like to kneel, then kneel. I will definitely not let Melissa go. Not only does she want to kill me, she
may have other crimes on her."
After saying that, Nicole got into the car and left.
Mr. and Mrs. Bush never thought that Nicole would be so determined, so they couldn't help but curse
her behind her.
Being angrily scolded by her closest relatives, Nicole felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but when she
thought about what she was going to do later, she could only cheer up.
Nicole took the materials to the approval center and found the person in charge according to the
number Ashley gave her.
This was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He had been sitting in the office all year round, but he was
very enthusiastic about Nicole's arrival.
"Ms. Nicole?"
"Mr. Ian, thank you for your help."
Nicole immediately smiled.
Ian let Nicole into the office and asked her to take out the materials she had prepared. After looking at
them, he said, "There is no big problem with your materials. Basically, it can be approved immediately.
However, it is best for you to have more registered capital. After all, in the entertainment industry, it
requires a bit more capital to be registered."
Nicole paused for a moment, but she still smiled and said, "Mr. Ian, how much money do you think we
should use for registration now?"
"Twenty million. That's about enough. As long as you put the money into your company account, I will
immediately approve it."
Ian's words caused Nicole to pause, but she still smiled and said yes.
She was somewhat embarrassed when she left the approval center.
She couldn't take out twenty million of registered capital.
What should she do?
Nicole looked at her own property statistics and called Laurence.
"I remember a car under my name."
"Yes, madam. Do you want me to drive it over from the Seapolis City?"
Laurence thought that Nicole wanted to use the car, so he couldn't help but ask.
"No." Nicole whispered, "Call someone to sell the car. It should be worth hundreds of thousands. Then I
have a lot of jewelry. Take it to the pawnshop and see if it can be mortgaged."
Laurence was stunned.
"Do you need money?"
"Yes, the film company needs twenty million of registered capital. I'm short of some money."
Nicole did not hide it from Laurence.
Laurence hurriedly said, "I have less than a million. If you need it..."
"No, thank you. Your money is used to take care of the Miller family. This is your promise to Adela. I
won't use it. Besides, a million is not enough. Just listen to me and do as I say. I think I wouldn't want to
attend any important occasions these few years, so I don't need any jewelry. I'll mortgage it first and
redeem it after I earn some money. It's no big deal."
Nicole's words made Laurence speechless.
After hanging up the phone, Nicole sat on a chair in the park and watched the old ladies work out. She
didn't know why, but she felt a little peaceful.
"Did you hear a female body was salvaged at the East Sea dock? I don't know who the girl is. What a
poor girl!"
"Yes, I did. I heard that she was tied to a rock. It must be a murder."
The two old ladies whispered as they passed by Nicole.
Nicole frowned slightly.
Homicide?
It was really not peaceful.
Thinking of this, she felt that it was better to go home.
Nicole stood up and walked back. She took a taxi, but they had to take a detour because of the traffic
jam.
Nicole was fine with it.
However, the taxi somehow took a detour to the East Sea dock.
When Nicole thought of the words of the two old ladies, she couldn't help but feel a little terrified.
However, it was already too late to turn around because there was also a traffic jam behind them.
The dock was crowded with people. It was bustling and caused a serious traffic jam.
Nicole was not a person who liked watching the fun, but the car was stuck here motionlessly. It made
her in a bad mood.
She got off the car and walked over.
After passing through the crowd, Nicole saw that the police were examining the dead body and pulled
up the security line.
Nicole glanced and was instantly stunned.
Why did this woman look familiar?
She searched her mind and finally thought of a place which was the entrance of the bar. Wasn't it the
woman beside Samuel?
She was surprised and made a sound.
She quickly covered her mouth.
"Ma'am, do you know this woman?"
A policeman noticed Nicole.
Nicole hurriedly shook her head, "I don't know her. I'm just scared."
Her eyes flickered with fear, which seemed reasonable to the police.
"If you're scared, just walk away. You may have nightmares at night. There is nothing to see here.
Hurry up and leave."
"Yes, officer."
Nicole didn't not know how she had left the dock. There was always a question flashing in her mind, but
she did not dare to ask, nor could she ask.
She quickly walked out, her heart pounding fiercely.
Did Samuel have something to do with the woman's death?
Although Nicole hated this man, she was still a little worried if he was involved to a murder case.
She finally walked to a place with no one around and called Samuel directly.
"Nicole?"
Samuel was very surprised that Nicole would call him, and he was also happy about it.
"Is there something wrong? Do you need my help with something?"
Not long ago, he found out that Nicole's registered capital might not be enough, and when Nicole
called, he subconsciously thought of this.
How could Nicole care about the registration capital now?
She lowered her voice and asked word by word, "Where is the woman who left a lipstick mark on your
shirt collar last time?"
"Why do you suddenly bring it up?"
Samuel's eyes lit up slightly with doubt.
Nicole took a deep breath and said, "I want to see her. If you want to marry her, my son and daughter
will have a stepmother. No matter what, I want to know what kind of people she is and whether she will
treat my children well."
"I won't divorce you, nor will I marry another woman. You don't have to see her."
Samuel's tone was a little cold.
"What if I insist? Or should I say that I can't see her anymore?"
Nicole's question was very skillful, but Samuel could still hear something from her tone.
"What happened?"
