Samuel subconsciously hugged Nicole tightly.
Morgan also frowned.
She slowed down and looked at the flickering lights in front of her. She didn't know what she was
thinking.
The barricades were right in front of them. All of a sudden, a siren went off in the distance.
"Someone has got rioters and they are calling for back up."
Then the person in front of them quickly ran to another place.
Samuel and Morgan were relieved for a second. Morgan even stepped on the accelerator and directly
broke through the barricades.
They could be safe and sound after leaving Country F.
Morgan immediately sent them beyond the border, and there was already a helicopter waiting for them.
Samuel saw Sally from afar.
He frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Nicole was still asleep.
Sally looked at Nicole who was held in Samuel's arms and smiled kindly, "It's cold. I bought her a coat.
You could put it on her later. After all, it doesn't look good if we put a quilt on her."
"Thank you."
Samuel's appreciation meant something else.
Sally knew what Samuel was talking about, but she did not say anything. Instead, she took out an old
pocket watch and gave it to Samuel. She whispered, "New Year is around the corner. You can give this
to my father for me."
"This is..."
"This watch is something left by my mom."
Sally looked sad.
"My mom gave it to Martha before she died, hoping that she would keep it as an emotional attachment.
However, that woman finally failed my mom. She found her biological father and planned to set us up
for a long time. It is said that this pocket watch was given by my father to my mother as a wedding gift
back then. I used to make great efforts to find this pocket watch for a long time. I hope to personally
give it to my father, but I am ready yet and I don't know if my father could have a chance to know that I
am his daughter. Therefore, I hope that you can give it to my father on my behalf and tell him that I am
still alive."
Samuel frowned slightly.
Samuel could just back off. Nobody knew anything about Sally's identity and intention. Samuel did not
know what Edwin would say after he returned this pocket watch.
Just as Samuel Edwin was hesitating, Nicole opened her eyes.
"This pocket watch was left by grandma? My grandpa gave it to her as a wedding gift?"
Sally and Samuel seemed to have never expected Nicole to wake up at this moment and they were
stunned.
Samuel subconsciously asked, "Is it cold?"
"No, it's not cold."
Nicole left Samuel and put on the coat that Sally bought without hesitation.
She really looked good in that coat.
Sally couldn't help but laugh when she saw that she was wearing it.
"You look so beautiful."
"Of course, I have natural charisma."
Nicole said happily and then turned to Sally and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Yes, it's a wedding gift."
Sally thought that Nicole could be less suspicious of her because they have cooperated twice.
However, to Sally's surprise, Nicole was as rational as before.
Nicole was very satisfied with Sally's reply. She became more approachable and smiled, "Don't worry. I
will definitely give it to my grandpa. I will help you if you just want to be filial. However, I will not see you
as a family if you do something bad. I just want to get this straight here in case things get ugly between
us."
She just said it directly without even considering whether Sally could take it.
Sally paused for a moment and nodded with a smile. Nicole did not know and even did not want to
know what Sally thought.
Nicole and Samuel then got on the helicopter.
The helicopter was private, but carried the national emblem of Country F, symbolizing the royal family.
The helicopter took off after Nicole and Samuel got on.
Samuel looked at her and whispered, "You put her in a difficult situation. What if she really wants to
come back to the family?"
"Of course it's good if she could just tell us who she is, but I just find it hard to understand what she is
thinking. Look at her, she's almost the second most powerful person in Country F. The president even
doesn't know how powerful she is. What is unbelievable is that she even doesn't help Zayn fight for
power. I even start to think that Zayn is not her son!"
"Zayn is definitely Sally's son. How could she look so similar to your mom if she isn't Zayn's mom?
Don't forget that she even has such a strong DNA match with you!"
Samuel directly talked back at Nicole.
Nicole shrugged her shoulders indifferently and said, "Then how could she did nothing as someone
tried to hurt her son."
"Nicole, Zayn wouldn't be alive by now if Sally really didn't do anything."
Nicole was slightly stunned at Samuel's words.
"Why are you saying that?"
"Sally faked her death when Zayn was still young. Do you really think Zayn could safely leave Country
F on his own and even start his career in entertainment? Even though Santino was still young back
then, his biological mother could do everything for him. Killing a child secretly was much easier than
killing an adult, but they didn't succeed. They just kicked Zayn out of Country F. Someone must have
protected Zayn."
Nicole seemed to understand something when she heard Samuel's words.
"But why did Sally put Zayn through the wringer while she protected him?"
"Zayn is a prince and he has grown up. I even suspect that Sally knows something about Pedro's
death. And it is very likely that she had the ability to save Pedro, but she did not save him even if Pedro
was to Zayn's only hope in the world."
Nicole was confused when she heard this.
"What do you mean?"
"Zayn is destined to be the president. I was a little uncertain previously, but after we met Sally,
everything became clear. Sally thought that it would be the best for Zayn if Pedro died. As a president,
how could he come out and fall in love with his aide? That is the reason why Pedro must die. Moreover,
Pedro was Zayn's last hope. Only when he died and died at the hands of Santino would Zayn become
cruel and return to fight for power. Only then could he become a powerful man as Sally hoped.
Therefore, Pedro had to die with or without Lillian."
Samuel was lost in thought.
He really didn't want Nicole to know about the dark side of the royal family, but that person was Sally.
She was Nicole's aunt and a member of the Shaws. Nicole had to know about the truth.
Nicole frowned and she immediately had no good feelings about Sally.
"You are saying that Sally is just trying to make Zayn the President?"
"Sort of."
"How could she do that at the expense of her son's happiness? She is not qualified to be a mom."
Nicole got emotional.
Samuel held her hand and said, "Nicole, we barely know those people or their intentions. It's still too
early for you to feel sympathetic for Zayn. It's also hard to tell whether Sally is cruel or not after all we
are not her. We know nothing about her experience and therefore it can be difficult for us to find out her
true intentions. We can just leave her alone as long as she doesn't do anything bad to you. We will see
what we can do for anything else."
Nicole suddenly remembered Sally's background.
Sally was kidnapped by terrorists not long after she was born, and she was almost shot dead. She was
then taken away by someone else. A woman like her was destined to be extraordinary.
No one knew what she went through for all those years. It seemed that she had no choice but to run
away from the dangerous and mysterious royal family.
Nicole suddenly felt a little confused. She did not know how to judge Sally. Just as Samuel said, she
was not Sally, so she was not in a position to say anything about Sally.
In addition, Nicole had to admit that Sally was quite kind as a family.
"Okay, we will wait and see."
Samuel was relieved when he heard Nicole's words. He was afraid that Nicole would easily make
everything so black and white.
"Are you sleepy? How about taking a nap? I'll call you when we arrive at the Seapolis City."
Samuel was worried about Nicole when he saw that she was still somewhat dispirited.
Nicole put her head on Samuel's shoulder and whispered, "What a pity! I still want to go to Samcole
Island."
"Maybe next time. That place will be there forever anyway."
Samuel's voice was very soft.
Nicole felt sleepy again.
She nearly fell asleep before she said something in a daze, "There is something I want to ask you."
"What?"
"I heard that you built a private garden for me during the five years when I was not with you? I haven't
been there before."
Nicole then fell asleep. Samuel was somewhat jealous of how she could just crush out like that.
Samuel smiled and whispered, "You will be there one day."
However, Nicole fell asleep.
The plane finally arrived at the Seapolis City Airport a few hours later.
Nicole woke up once the plane touched down.
Samuel smiled and said, "You wake up at a perfect time."
"Well, I'm hungry. We can just find somewhere to eat something."
Nicole looked like Zoe now.
Samuel looked at Nicole with love.
They got off the plane and left the airport through a special passage. They planned to find a place
nearby to eat something before they heard a familiar female voice.
"Nicole, Mr. Green, where have you been?"
Nicole was slightly stunned, and then she turned around and saw Evelyn.
Evelyn wore a business suit today and looked like a strong woman.
"Evelyn, what brings you here?"
"I am here to pick up a client. What a coincidence! You guys go on a trip together?"
Evelyn looked at Nicole with a naughty smile.
Nicole immediately smiled and said, "We went on a journey to relax for a few days. How about Tim?"
"He is fine. He'll be discharged in a few days, but he still needs to rest for a while. You know we are
preparing for our wedding and he wants to take charge of everything once he is discharged from the
hospital. I can't turn him down and just let him do whatever he wants to do."
Evelyn was delighted when she spoke of Tim. Everyone could tell that she was in love with someone.
Nicole was glad to see her happy and said, "I can also be of some help since I am back."
"You will definitely be part of it! Well, there is still half an hour before my client's plane lands. We can
eat something together. It's on me."
Samuel was stunned slightly at Evelyn's kindness for a moment, but he was fine with it. Moreover,
Evelyn used to save Nicole, so he would say nothing about it.
When the three of them walked out, Evelyn suddenly stopped Nicole and said something in a low
voice. Nicole's look changed immediately.
