It was Zayn!
Nicole suppressed the emotions in her eyes and answered it.
"Has Melissa boarded the plane?"
"Not yet. I heard you captured Lillian?"
Zayn was well-informed.
As soon as Nicole took control of Lillian, he had already received the news. Nicole even suspected that
he had installed a monitor on her.
"Why do you want Lillian?"
Although Lillian was a little tricky for Nicole, and she didn't know what to do for the time being, Zayn's
sudden request for Lillian surprised her.
Zayn didn't hide it from her and whispered, "Major is close to Santino. I heard that Lillian was the
mastermind behind Pedro's murder, so I must get her. As long as she confesses, Samuel will be
acquitted."
"Samuel didn't kill anyone. Without Lillian, they wouldn't convict him."
Nicole knew what Pedro meant to Zayn.
Pedro was dead. Lillian was the mastermind, so Zayn wanted to kill her. However, Nicole still defended
Samuel.
Zayn paused for a moment before his tone softened.
"I'm begging you, okay? If I can't personally avenge Pedro, I won't have the mood to do anything."
Nicole sighed and said, "What are you going to do to her?"
"Don't worry. Anyway, I guarantee that you won't see Lillian anymore and she won't cause trouble
anymore."
In fact, keeping Lillian was useless to Nicole. Most importantly, it was related to Petty. It wasn't
appropriate for her to do anything to Lillian. It was indeed a good choice to hand Lillian over to Zayn.
"Alright."
"Thank you, Nicole."
After Zayn finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
A man stood behind Zayn. After Zayn hung up the phone, he said, "Melissa has already been handed
over to the Green family. She will board the plane tonight, but Santino seems to have received news.
Do you think we need to do something?"
"No need. If Samuel can't even do this, he's not qualified to be one of the Fourth young masters of the
Seapolis City."
Zayn had not smiled since Pedro's death.
He was so depressed.
The man said worriedly, "But Samuel is in the police station after all, so it's a little inconvenient for him."
"Inconvenient? You underestimate him. Although Major's trip this time was a little tricky, it was not
enough to trap Samuel. We can't move, or we'll be exposed. Although Santino suspects me now, he
can't do anything without evidence. Tell our people to remain silent about his recent probing. Don't
move and try to preserve their strength as much as possible. "
"Alright."
The man left.
Zayn leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the sea in front of him. His eyes lit up
slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
After hanging up the phone, Nicole said to Alison, "Send someone to arrange a helicopter to send
Lillian away tonight."
"Where to?"
Alison knew that Nicole had just answered the phone, but she didn't know whose it was and why Lillian
was wanted.
Nicole did not say anything and left the Green's.
Without Samuel here, she felt that the house was so empty that she felt lonely here.
They returned to the military compound. Edwin was busy in the study, and Nicole did not disturb him.
She asked Alison to find Ashley to treat her wounds.
Ashley sighed, "Do you want to keep your wound forever? You tore the wound twice in one day. What
do you want to do? Nicole, do you know that you're a patient? If you do this again, I'll tie you to the
bed."
Nicole smiled at Ashley's threat.
"When this matter is over, I will have a good rest."
"I bet you won't."
Ashley rolled her eyes.
Nicole lay on the bed, feeling hurt when her wound was treated by Ashley.
She bit her lower lip and asked, "Is there any news from Samuel? How is his neuralgia?"
"It should have eased up. Don't worry. He won't die of pain."
Nicole was immediately depressed.
"Do you talk to Steven like this?"
"Of course. Should I spoil him?"
Ashley said it as a matter of course.
Although she said in disdain, Nicole could tell her feelings for Steven.
It was good to be together with the lover.
However, she was lonely without anyone accompanying her at night.
Thinking of this, Nicole felt even more desolate.
"When will my Samuel come back?"
"He'll be back once the case is solved. But I heard that Zayn didn't plan to pursue the cause of Pedro's
death anymore."
Ashley's words slightly shocked Nicole.
"Really? Pedro is just his manager. Does he have the final say?"
"You probably don't know Zayn's true identity, do you?"
Hearing Ashley's words, Nicole couldn't help but be shocked.
"Isn't he just a movie star? What's his identity?"
"He is the second prince of Country F. Don't you know that?"
Nicole was shocked for a moment. Maybe she heard of it before, or maybe not. There were too many
things that had happened recently, and she was going muddled.
Now that she heard Ashley's words, she suddenly figured it out.
"Do you mean that Zayn pulled some strings?"
"That's right. Moreover, Pedro is an orphan. Zayn can be considered as his direct contact. If he didn't
pursue the matter, Samuel will be fine. However, our Foreign Ministry still hopes to find out the truth of
the case, so someone has intervened."
Hearing this news, Nicole was in a bad mood.
"Who is so annoying? Zayn doesn't even bother to pursue it, so why bother investigating?"
"After all, it's about international relations. It's said that this case must be solved. So, even though you
managed to catch Lillian, in the end, you still have to hand her over."
Nicole was shocked again.
"You also know that I've captured Lillian? Don't tell me that the entire Seapolis City knows."
Ashley smiled and said, "Not yet. My husband is Steven, and he is keeping a close eye on it. If you
didn't ask Trevin for help, he might have made a move. Don't worry. However, there is no secret that
could be a secret forever. It was Steven who asked me to tell you that if you intended to interrogate
Lillian privately, you'd better hide it well. Otherwise, if someone investigates it, you will have to hand her
over."
Nicole frowned.
Steven would not let Ashley tell her that for no reason. Ashley told her that Samuel should have been
released, but because someone wanted to thoroughly investigate this case, he had to be imprisoned
again. She felt concerned about that.
Moreover, she said that there was a possibility that Lillian would be needed?
Was it really a coincident?
Or was it someone who worked for Major?
When Lillian was captured, she swore that it was useless for her to capture Lillian and Major would not
ignore her.
Nicole didn't know if her guess was correct, but just in case, handing Lillian over to Zayn was the best
choice.
"What are you thinking? Aren't you tired of dealing with those conspiracies all the time? Steven said
that if you didn't know what to do, just send her to him. He is the Asura of Night Elf Empire, so he could
deal with a person secretly."
It sounded simple, but Nicole did not want to implicate Steven.
The relationship between Steven and Samuel was well known. If she handed her over to Steven, it was
inevitable that he would attract someone's attention.
"No need, I have my own plans."
"Alright then. Think about it. I'm leaving. I really don't care about your shit. If I weren't afraid that you
couldn't sleep alone, I wouldn't be the microphone."
After Ashley finished speaking, she packed her things and left.
Nicole felt exhausted.
She really, really wanted to go out with Samuel.
But when would her Samuel return?
It was really difficult.
Nicole lay on the bed and slept for a while. When she woke up, it was already past four o'clock in the
afternoon.
She got up and washed up, then went downstairs and saw Edwin sitting on the sofa reading the
newspaper.
"Grandfather, what era is it now? Everyone reads the news with their mobile phones. Why are you still
reading the newspaper?"
As Nicole spoke, she had already walked down.
Edwin snorted and folded the newspaper.
"I like newspaper. What's wrong? Do you have any objections?"
"How dare I have any objections? You are my grandfather. It's up to you."
Nicole hurriedly flattered him.
"Who did you inherit from? Your mother and your father are not good at words. Why are you so
talkative and your words so sweet?"
Although Edwin said in disdain, his eyes were filled with doting.
Nicole hugged his arm coquettishly and said, "Grandfather, I'm only talkative to you. I'm cold to others."
"Should I believe you?"
Edwin stopped arguing with her. He looked at Nicole and asked in a low voice, "Have you rested?"
"Yes. I can sleep for a while after my meal."
Nicole was telling the truth.
After the miscarriage, she always felt weak. She was so tired of everything. And she even made a
move at the Green's this morning.
She yawned and grabbed an apple and peeled it.
"Grandpa, it's almost New Year. Why are your apples still so fresh? Did you buy them from the
supermarket?"
"Someone else gave them to me."
Edwin looked at Nicole and hesitated.
"What's wrong? Grandfather, what do you want to say to me? Your gaze made me nervous."
Nicole smiled mischievously.
Edwin sighed and said, "You'd better take good care of your body. Don't fool around all day long. If
there's anything you need to do, ask the two boys from the Don family to do it. You're a girl. There's no
need to do everything by yourself. When is Samuel planning to come back?"
Hearing this, Nicole immediately became unhappy.
"How would I know?"
"Come on. Dr. Ashley is Steven's wife, right? Everyone knows the relationship between Steven and
Samuel. She must have told you something. You have caught Lillian, and what do you plan to do? Are
you thinking about your private interrogation? Nicole, I'm warning you, private interrogation is against
the law! You can't do anything against the law in our family."
As Edwin said this, Nicole was immediately depressed.
