...
Nicole cried out, immediately attracting Olivia's attention.
"Are you alright? Hurry up and go to the hospital."
Michael saw that Nicole was bleeding, so he naturally didn't dare to delay. He hurriedly asked people to
make way.
Seeing this, Zayn paused for a moment, then wanted to step forward, but was pushed away by Olivia.
"Go away."
Her attitude was very unfriendly.
Pedro happened to see this when he came.
"What are you doing? Zayn is also here to help. What's going on?"
Olivia lost her temper.
She snorted coldly and said, "What's going on? You should ask Zayn! Nicole was playing the zither, but
Zayn was staring at her. If he didn't stare at Nicole, Nicole wouldn't hurt her face. You'd better pray
Nicole would be fine. If there's anything wrong with her face, I won't let go of Zayn. I will let his fans see
how bad the man they like is."
If it wasn't for Nicole, Olivia wouldn't have cared what Zayn was thinking. Now that something
happened to Nicole, she didn't care who the other party was and scolded directly.
It was the first time that Pedro saw a rookie being presumptuous after Zayn entered the entertainment
industry. Pedro was about to lose his temper, but he heard Zayn say, "This is my fault. I'm sorry. I'll pay
for all the medical expenses."
"No need. I'm not a person who lacks money. I just hope that Mr. Freeman will stay away from me."
Nicole covered her bleeding face and said coldly.
Zayn was silent.
Hearing what Zayn said, Pedro couldn't help but frown, but didn't say anything else.
Nicole was taken to the hospital. The wound caused by the strings on her face was not small.
Fortunately, she did not rely on her face to make a living, which made her somewhat gratified.
Samuel was the first to know that Nicole was injured.
He rushed into the hospital.
"How is Nicole?"
Olivia was grabbed by Samuel.
"Nothing serious. Her face is injured. I guess she'll need some time to recover."
"Who did it?"
Samuel did not believe that Nicole's skills were not good.
Olivia knew that if she said Zayn's name now, Zayn would have been blacklisted by Samuel. But they
would offend Zayn. She didn't know what would happen in the future. After all, Nicole and her still had
to work in entertainment circles.
Thinking of this, Olivia whispered, "Nicole may not have rested well. She used too much strength when
she played the zither."
Samuel narrowed his eyes. The pressure made Olivia somewhat unable to withstand it. Fortunately, he
only looked at her for a while and turned his face away.
Olivia heaved a sigh of relief.
When Samuel arrived at the ward, Nicole's wound had been bandaged. But even so, Samuel was still
worried.
When Nicole saw him coming, she smiled and said, "I'm fine. I just got hurt. I'll be fine in a few days."
"Go back and rest."
Samuel was distressed.
However, Nicole shook her head and said, "No need. I still have to go back and continue recording.
This album is very short, and I can't waste other people's time. Right now, it is not easy to find a person
who can play the zither, and I also signed a confidentiality agreement."
Samuel suddenly grabbed Nicole's hand and pulled her out.
Nicole knew what he meant, but now she was not Mrs. Green. She was Ms. Bush.
Some things had to be handled by herself.
"Samuel, I really can't go back. My injuries aren't serious."
"It hurts your face!"
Samuel thought that Nicole was losing her temper with him.
Nicole tried her best to calm herself down and said, "Samuel, my injury isn't serious. It will not delay my
work. I am Ms. Bush, Nicole, and a worker who signed an agreement with someone else. I have my
own work, and I have to have my own professional ethics. I have to do this so that I can establish
myself in this circle. Do you understand? I want to rely on myself, not on you all the time."
Samuel suddenly felt that Nicole had changed.
She was serious.
She was escaping from his life, wanting to rely on herself to have a world that belonged to her.
This feeling of not being needed made Samuel a little flustered.
"Nicole, I really don't have anything to do with that woman. If you really want to know, I can tell you that
I was with her because I needed to ask her about something. I swear I didn't cheat on you."
"What do you want to ask?"
Nicole asked casually.
Samuel was stunned.
"Something at work."
"Is that so?"
Nicole looked at Samuel and sighed, "Samuel, I know you more than you know yourself. You are not
good at lying. If it's really a matter of work, there's no need for you to hide it from me. However,
because of this, you would rather watch me divorce you than tell me. That's definitely not a matter of
work. Perhaps this matter has something to do with me, but it doesn't matter. I don't want to know
anymore. I just want to do my job well. I hope you can understand me."
Nicole made it clear. If Samuel still couldn't understand, she couldn't do anything about it.
Samuel looked at Nicole' who was stubborn and finally let go.
"I don't care what you want to do, but you can't hurt yourself anymore."
"Alright. I don't like self-torture."
After saying that, Nicole opened the door and walked out.
Michael and the others were still waiting outside. Seeing Nicole come out, they hurriedly asked, "Are
you alright?"
"Nothing. It won't affect my work. Everyone, let's go back and continue to work."
Michael appreciated Nicole's professional spirit.
Samuel called Laurence after Nicole left.
"Find out the reason about Nicole's injuries. I need the surveillance videos in the studio."
Not long after, Samuel got the video.
When he saw that it was because of Zayn, Samuel was angry.
Samuel arrived at the Fortune Building and sent a message to Zayn.
Zayn was still blaming himself for Nicole's injury, and was even thinking about how to apologize when
he saw an unfamiliar text message.
"Come out!"
The two words seemed to emit an oppressive aura through the screen, causing Zayn to frown
involuntarily.
"I'm going out for a moment."
Zayn stood up and left.
Pedro wanted to follow, but Zayn stopped him.
"You don't have to go out. I can do it myself."
Zayn left Pedro behind and came out alone. He knew that the person who wanted to meet him would
definitely not be at the front door, so he went straight to the back door.
However, just as he stepped out, he was punched in the face by Samuel.
Because he was caught off guard, Zayn's nose was bleeding.
"Who?"
"Your father!"
The moment Samuel thought of the wound on Nicole's face, he would be very angry.
Zayn quickly retaliated after being beaten, but he sadly discovered that his opponent's skill was higher
than his own.
He was completely beaten up.
It was only when Zayn's face was badly injured that Samuel stopped.
Samuel grabbed Zayn by the collar and said coldly, "I remember warning you not to disturb Nicole's life.
You don't seem to have listened to me."
At this time, if Zayn didn't know who the other party was, he would really be an idiot.
He looked at Samuel and whispered, "There are some things that Nicole can't avoid. You should know."
"I don't know. I only know that she is my wife. I just need to protect her and her current life. As for the
rest, I don't care. I also don't want her to care. Do you understand me?"
"Samuel, how long can you protect her? Since I can find her, do you think those people can't find her?
Is it good for her to keep living under your protection like an idiot?"
Zayn's words angered Samuel.
"I don't care what happens in the future, I just want her to live a relaxed life. Since she was destined to
leave your circle more than twenty years ago, you have no right to disturb her now. Zayn, I don't care
how powerful your background is. If you provoke my wife again, I guarantee that you will regret it. I
might even collaborate with your brother."
"You..."
Zayn was so angry that he almost fainted, but he knew Samuel was not joking.
"If you cooperate with my younger brother, wouldn't you be involved in our circle?"
"My hands can be stained with blood, but what Nicole needs is a pure land. For this pure land, I can do
whatever it takes."
Samuel's words shocked Zayn.
"You love her so much?"
"Do you think everyone is as cold-blooded and emotionless as your family?"
Samuel pushed him away.
"Don't let those dirty things in your family disturb Nicole. Get lost!"
Zayn didn't want to leave, but it had to be said that Samuel's aura was very strong that even he was a
little scared.
"Samuel, you can't protect her."
"Get lost!"
Samuel shouted coldly, and Zayn got up and left.
Samuel frowned as he watched Zayn leave.
Couldn't he protect her?
Even if he couldn't protect Nicole, he couldn't let her come into contact with those dirty and sinful things
too early.
Samuel's eyes flashed with determination.
When Zayn returned to the studio, everyone was stunned, especially Pedro.
"My God! Zayn, what's wrong with you? Who hit you? Should we call the police?"
Pedro had followed Zayn for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen Zayn being beaten
to such a state.
Was this person doing this on purpose?
That person knew that Zayn relied on his face to earn his living, but now he hit Zayn in the face. What
should Zayn do with the next work?
Nicole and Olivia also happened to look to the side and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment,
while Olivia smiled very unkindly.
"You deserve it!"
Zayn looked in Nicole's direction with a complicated expression.
