"What's the matter?" Edwin asked Nicole.
He noticed that Nicole was worried.
"Nothing. Grandpa, I'll leave Viola to you. I have to hurry back now."
"OK. Go with Steve."
"Okay."
Nicole agreed.
She quickly got back to the Green's with Steve. It was quiet. Laurence was not here, but Nicole felt that
something was wrong.
"Ms. Nicole, stay in the car. I'll go take a look."
Steve said as he was about to get out of the car. However, Nicole immediately stopped him.
"Stay here. This place is so quiet that it worries me. Keep driving."
Nicole's face slightly clouded over.
Although Steve didn't know what Nicole meant, he still listened to her and changed into a higher gear.
They passed the entrance of the Green's very fast.
Just as they were about to leave the entrance of the house, they saw a roadblock in front.
"Back off."
Nicole suddenly felt tortured by fear and anxiety.
It seemed that other than Dominic, there was someone else who wanted her dead.
Sure enough, there was someone behind Dominic.
When Steve was in reverse gear, four or five jeeps popped out from behind him. They were surrounded
now.
"Ms. Nicole, we are ambushed."
Steve frowned.
Nicole was important to Edwin. Steve knew that he must keep her safe.
"Ms. Nicole, I'll drive the car and lure them away. Now get out of the car and run towards the house."
Steve's suggestion was directly rejected by Nicole.
"It's useless. Laurence is not here. Something must have happened. Right now, there must be people
waiting for me inside the house. If I go there, I will be the fish in a barrel, which is exactly what they
want."
"Then what should we do?"
Steve was a little worried.
Nicole smiled bitterly.
"I really don't want such a life, but I have no choice. My husband and my son are waiting for me to save
them. So, I can only try my best. Let's fight. Steve, you have a gun on you, right?"
Steve froze for a moment.
He was Edwin's guard, so he naturally carried a gun with him. Why did Nicole ask?
"Ms. Nicole, you..."
"Give me one. I know that you always have two."
Steve hesitated for a moment, but still gave Nicole a gun.
Nicole directly fired at the outside.
At once, the city was disturbed by the clear sound of gunfire.
Today, citizens in the Seapolis City were trembling with fear. Not long ago, Dominic robbed the military
vehicle. Now, there were gunshots from the Green's. Naturally, people's concern was all attracted.
"Let's go check what's going on."
The police took action as soon as possible.
When Jason learned that Dominic had robbed the military vehicle, he was a little suspicious. He had
heard that the company of the Greens had given the employees an early holiday, and he was worried.
So, he hurriedly called some of his own subordinates and rushed to the Green's. However, before
Jason got there, he heard gunshots from the Green's.
"Hurry, let's go!"
The Dons quickly run to the house.
Nicole's gunshot alerted everyone.
The person hiding in the shadows ruthlessly hammered the steering wheel with his hand. He instructed
fiercely, "Make it fast. The gunshot will bring everyone here. Then it will be hard to kill Nicole. If we can't
finish the job, Major will make things difficult for us when we go back."
"But Harold, Nicole is in the car. There's nothing we can do without knowing where she is."
Harold's subordinates were in an awkward situation.
Harold said viciously, "Shoot at that military car. Nicole had fired the first shot. Let's make it bigger. Tell
the sniper to kill Nicole the moment she exposes her head."
"Yes."
Nicole knew that her gunshot would bring her rescue, but she still had to count on herself for now.
She looked at Steve and whispered, "I've alerted them, and they are likely to go desperate. Steve, get
down. Don't come out without my order. Keep your head down."
"Ms. Nicole, it is my job to protect you."
"Listen to me. Edwin is an old man now. You've been working for him for so long. Although you're his
servant, you're more like a brother to him. I don't want my grandpa to suffer the pain of losing a brother
at this age. I have to keep you safe."
Just as Nicole finished her words, continuous gunshots suddenly sounded from outside.
"Get down!"
She pressed down Steve's head and then quickly hid under the car seat.
The gunshots rained down.
It was a little difficult for her to escape unscathed now.
What should she do?
Nicole was at a loss.
Harold's people kept shooting the car. It would take some time for the rescuers to come here. Nicole
had to save herself.
Nicole looked at Steve. Her gaze became determined.
Steve must be safe.
Nicole knew that as long as she and Steve were together, Steve would not have a chance to escape.
She bit her lower lip and directly opened the car door. She rolled on the ground and then ran away from
the car.
"Ms. Nicole."
Steve shouted in horror. He noticed that as Nicole jumped out of the car, she was under thousands of
bullets.
She could even be shot like a dog.
Steve was so worried, but he couldn't leave the car.
Now Nicole knew what a rain of bullets was.
The bullets brushed past her when she rolled on the ground. Before she could do anything, a large iron
pot was thrown over to her. It gave Nicole enough protection.
The bullet was penetrating, but the iron pot gave Nicole time to save herself.
Before Nicole could figure out what was going on, she heard a familiar voice.
"Nicole, this way."
"Evelyn?"
Nicole never expected to meet Evelyn here!
"Come here. Hurry!"
Evelyn ran to Nicole and directly pulled her over.
At the same time, the big iron pot shattered. The bullets almost turned it into a sieve.
Nicole was extremely scared.
Evelyn immediately took off her bulletproof vest and gave it to Nicole.
"Put it on."
Nicole was slightly startled. She hurriedly refused.
"No, I can't. You're my sister-in-law, and you are going to marry Tim soon."
"What are you talking about? The wedding will only be a ceremony. We are already family by law. How
can I do nothing but watch when you are in danger? Put it on. They want you, not me."
Evelyn did not allow Nicole to refuse. She directly helped Nicole put on the bulletproof vest.
Nicole was quite moved.
"Evelyn, I..."
"Save it. The Mason's is the closest to this place, and I happened to go home to pick up some things.
The Dons are already here. Let's hide here for a moment, then we'll be safe."
Evelyn held Nicole's hand tightly, afraid that Nicole would risk her life again.
The scene just now really scared Evelyn.
Nicole naturally didn't believe that Evelyn only happened to come back here to pick up something.
What nonsense.
Evelyn knew about the things Dominic did. She must have been ready to help Nicole when an
emergency happened.
Nicole felt like crying.
How much did she owe Tim and Evelyn?
How could she repay them?
The Dons finally arrived.
"Capture him alive. I want to know who has the nerve to hurt my niece."
Jason was furious.
Nicole couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Jason. However, under the sunlight, she
seemed to see a reflective spot.
"Sniper?"
Nicole's heart suddenly tensed up.
She directly shouted to Jason, "Jason, snipers!"
The next moment, a bullet was shot towards Nicole.
"Watch out!"
Evelyn pushed Nicole away.
How could Nicole do nothing but watch helplessly as something happened to Evelyn?
She grabbed something at hand and threw it out.
With a "Bang", the bullet hit Nicole's gun, and was slowed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nicole
kicked Evelyn down.
The bullet passed very closely above their heads.
Evelyn was dumbfounded.
Nicole quickly ran over to Evelyn and hugged her in her arms.
"Evelyn, are you alright?"
"Yeah."
Evelyn nodded, but her body trembled slightly.
She was so close to death just now. Evelyn was truly frightened.
Nicole hugged Evelyn tightly, feeling very guilty.
Jason was no pushover. The moment the sniper opened fire, he found his location and shot him dead.
The police were also here.
For a moment, the entrance of the Green's was bustling.
Nicole asked Steve to handle the matter here. Then, she personally drove Evelyn back to the Mason's.
Ethan was not at home, which meant that all of this was Evelyn's idea.
Nicole found it hard to describe how she felt.
Grateful, of course, but also frightened.
"Evelyn, promise me that you won't risk your life for me again, will you?"
Evelyn nodded. By doing so, she found herself quite lame. So, she quickly said casually, "I'm fine. Don't
worry about me. You have other things to do, right?"
Evelyn then asked someone to send Nicole out.
Nicole knew that what happened just now was likely to cast a shade on Evelyn.
Evelyn asked Nicole to go because she didn't want Nicole to worry.
Nicole pondered for a moment and called Tim.
"I'm sorry."
Nicole apologized as soon as the phone was connected. Naturally, Tim was confused.
"What's the matter?"
Nicole told Tim about what happened to Evelyn.
Tim was startled.
He held the phone for a long time without speaking.
Evelyn, how dared she! Did she have any idea of what she was doing?
However, after calming himself down, Tim realized that Evelyn had done everything for Nicole. He was
suddenly touched.
If it weren't for Evelyn today, who knew what would happen to Nicole?
Evelyn, you silly woman!
Who could have done the things like you?
Evelyn knew that Nicole was special to Tim, and she knew that she and Nicole might be rivals in love,
but she still risked her life for Nicole.
Evelyn wanted Tim to live in guilt for the rest of his life, didn't she?
Tim's eyes were filled with tears.
He must not fail such a good wife. God would not permit it.
Tim whispered to Nicole, "Don't worry about this. I'll comfort Evelyn."
Nicole could tell from Tim's tone that he had feelings for Evelyn. Now she finally felt relieved.
