"That's all?"
Nicole had thought that Elvis would entrust her with other things, but she didn't expect to deal with the
aftermath.
Elvis put on a faint smile.
"That's all. I've experienced many things in my life. I loved, and I hated. My life was not in vain. In this
life, Una and I are couples, and we want to be together in the next life. On the way to death, I am not
alone."
A wisp of happiness appeared in Elvis' eyes.
A mixed feeling touched Nicole's heart.
There was no doubt that Elvis was a bad guy! But to Una, he was a good man.
It was he who built a paradise for Una, in which she could have lived a happy and peaceful life until
now. Although she could not have a baby, having such a man's love was also a happy thing for her.
"Okay, I promise you. But how can you be sure that Una will commit suicide for you? If she wants to
live, no one can kill her."
"If she wants to live, please take good care of her. Without me, she will be like a withered flower. It
won't take much time to take care of her, for she won't last for long. I just hope that you don't hate her.
She's innocent."
A trace of sadness flashed through Elvis' eyes.
He had wanted to protect Una all his life, but he never expected that he would be unable to fulfill his
promise in the end.
Nicole fell silent but seemed to agree to his entrust.
The living room was quiet for a moment. It was so quiet that it was a little depressing.
Elvis sighed and continued, "Don't you want to know what the secret is?"
"If you want to tell me, just go ahead. If you don't, then forget it."
Nicole suddenly felt that everything was meaningless.
Elvis was about to die, so no matter what he had done, the hatred should be subdued at the moment of
execution.
After all, he was Samuel's uncle. Only considering his deep affection for Una, Nicole felt that she would
help with the Elvis' funeral affair, let alone she was the daughter-in-law of the Green family and Petty's
sister-in-law.
So, she didn't ask any more about the secret.
Elvis looked at her and sighed again, "Nicole, you are very kind, and you are also a good woman. But
you are really not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Green family. If it weren't for Samuel's
protection, you would have died a long time ago."
"Is Una suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Green family?" Nicole sneered.
"That's why I keep her stay away from the mortal world. I owed all the sins and all the wrong things to
myself."
On the contrary, Nicole did not know how to refute Elvis.
"It's a little late to discuss the question now, right? After all, I'm already married into the Green family."
"Indeed, although you are not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Green family, I like you now."
"Please don't. You can continue to like your wife, Una. Okay?"
Nicole was not happy with Elvis' fondness.
Elvis smiled in relief.
"If Petty's child is born, don't tell her that she has a grandfather like me. Let's pretend that I never
existed. Since I didn't give her any warmth when I was rich, it's even more unnecessary for her
descendants to know my existence."
Nicole suddenly felt a little grieved, not for herself but for Petty.
"I will tell Petty, but it is not my business whether Petty forgives you or not."
"Petty isn't like her mother at all. I once regretted sending her away when she was just born. Now it
seems that this decision is the right one. If Lillian had raised her up, I couldn't imagine what she would
look like now."
Hearing this, Nicole frowned slightly.
"What's wrong with Lillian?"
"Haven't you discovered Lillian's intention?"
Elvis looked at Nicole and smiled, "The secret I want to tell you is that Lillian is not a good person."
"That's not a secret, and I have known it early. If that's all you have to say, then I have to go first."
After she finished speaking, Nicole got up and was about to leave. Elvis said, "You know that I have an
adopted son called Major, right?"
"So?"
Nicole stopped and turned to look at him.
"Weren't you curious why I was arrested and all my men were arrested, yet Major escaped?"
Nicole and Samuel had been curious about this question, but they didn't find anything wrong, so they
could only be alert. Now that Elvis mentioned that, Nicole knew that this was the secret that Elvis
wanted to tell her.
She returned to her chair and sat down.
Seeing her like this, Elvis knew that she wanted to hear it.
He sighed, "I was too conceited. I thought that Lillian couldn't make any fuss in my control, but I didn't
expect that she used her own body to bribe the guards who had been sending her food for a long time.
As you know, on the island, except for a few servants and Una, most of the guards are men. Because
they live in an isolated island, they are more easily seduced by women. Although Lillian is disfigured,
she is still a woman. It was my negligence that gave Lillian the opportunity to take advantage of it."
Nicole did not say anything and listened quietly.
Elvis paused for a moment and continued, "The guard used my system to do a lot of things, including
helping Lillian find her relatives, which was beyond me. It was an accident that I adopted Major.
Generally, I adopted children directly from the orphanage. In this way, they would be grateful for my
nurturing and would do their best to help me. But Major was an exception. He took a bullet for me when
I was attacked by my opponents. To be accurate, he was 17 years old at the time, and was not a child."
"At that time, Major almost died. It took three days and three nights to do the rescue before he was
being saved from death. I had investigated his identity, but the result was that he was an orphan. His
parents were dead, and he fed himself by moonlighting in the casinos and bars. To be honest, I didn't
want to keep him by my side, but he saved me, so I had to be nice to him. I sent him to the base for
training and gave him a company."
"I thought that a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old young man couldn't run a company, but Major was
very talented in business and his company was well managed. Since then, I had paid attention to him.
Then, he became my adopted son and worked for me. I have never thought about why these things
happened so coincidentally. After all, Major was a nobody at that time, so how would he know when my
opponent wanted to assassinate me? It was even more impossible to the exact place where I was
attacked in advance. I couldn't believe that there was someone who could risk his life. I was not as
malevolent as Lillian. So I lost to her."
Nicole instantly frowned.
"You mean that all of this was arranged by Lillian?"
"Yes, I didn't know that Major was Lillian's nephew until I was arrested!"
Hearing Elvis' words, Nicole was extremely surprised.
Although she had guessed that there were some ties between Lillian and Major, she did not expect that
they were relatives.
Seeing Nicole's expression, Elvis knew that she was extremely shocked by the fact.
"Surprised? Lillian is actually Major's aunt! Lillian used the guard to find her relatives. Unfortunately, her
brother, sister-in-law, and parents had passed away, and only one nephew was left. She had asked the
guard to take some money to help Major, and even instructed Major to risk his life if he wanted to
obtain wealth and power. That was why Major saved me. Then he became my adopted son and took
over my property. But he was secretly manipulated by Lillian and gradually got rid of the unfair industry.
I am a conceited man. But I never thought that I would be ruined by this woman. Otherwise, it would be
impossible for Audrey, Samuel and you to shake my foundation."
Elvis was still very conceited.
However, Nicole did not listen to what he said at the end. She was just analyzing what he said just now.
"You said that Lillian secretly asked Major to launder your property? How was that possible? You're
such a smart person. No matter how capable Major was, it wouldn't be easy for him to do anything
against your intention under your nose, unless someone stronger than you helped him, right? You won't
tell me that the powerful man is Lillian's helper, right?"
"Of course not. Major was somehow conspiracy with Santino, the third prince of Country F. Then Major
did the laundry in the name of Santino. Otherwise, how can he hide it from me that he did the laundry?"
Elvis' words stunned Nicole again.
Country F?
Zayn's country?
It seemed to be more and more complicated!
"You said that you knew that Lillian had plotted against you before you were arrested, so when exactly
was it? Was I on the island at that time?"
"Yes, to be exact, the fire which killed your mother and your father was set by Lillian. Although Audrey
didn't want to live and wanted to die with your father, it was Lillian who set the fire before Audrey could
do anything."
Elvis' words surprised Nicole greatly.
"How can be that?"
"Remember that Lillian once escaped? My men searched everywhere, but they couldn't find her. She
was doing this at that time. She wanted you to hate me and divert everyone's attention from her so that
she could get away with it. However, she still couldn't escape."
Hearing this, Nicole was more confused.
"She was unable to escape, but she met me. I was so stupid that I did not do anything to her and
brought her back to the Green family. I even took her to meet Petty and kept her stay with me."
"You finally know it."
Elvis looked at Nicole and whispered, "Nicole, you should be wary of Lillian. I'm about to die. This is
what I want to tell you from my heart."
The visiting time was up. Although Elvis still had something to say, he didn't have time.
Seeing that he was taken away, Nicole felt depressed suddenly.
Lillian was Major's aunt, and she helped Major to get what he had now. So would Major try his best to
meet Lillian's request?
In other words, if Samuel was framed by Major, it should be Lillian's intention?
Nicole was suddenly shocked.
Right at this moment, her phone suddenly rang, which scared her to quiver.
