"Why?"
Looking at Nicole's worried eyes, Samuel felt warm.
"You are being investigated now. If you go to the international prison, it will be hard for you to explain. If
it is Major's conspiracy, you will throw yourself into his trap. He earnestly wishes you to leave yourself
open to others. Although I don't care if you retire or not, I don't want to see you retire dishonorably due
to Major's schemes. Besides, if you leave, I'll be worried about your safety. Why did Petty commit
suicide at this time? It can be seen that she is still connected to Major. "
Nicole said so much in one breath that she couldn't help but feel a little thirsty.
Samuel hurriedly handed over a cup of warm water.
Nicole took a sip and continued, "Major is really a big shot. He actually has acquaintances in the
international prison."
"He's not that powerful. The international prison only recognizes money. As long as he can afford the
money, he can do anything, including making Petty die. Furthermore, he doesn't need to worry about
taking any legal consequences."
Samuel said indifferently, looking not surprised by this result.
Nicole suddenly remembered something and told Samuel about the investigation of Bruce.
Samuel was slightly stunned.
"Is Major the son of the king of Country F?"
"Yes, I just knew about it. My spy risked his life to send the message."
Nicole said worriedly, "Samuel, I plan to bring Trevin back after the New Year."
"Alright. But when we go to the international prison..."
"Let Zac do it. The people who don't belong to you will never stay by your side. It is also a trial. If Zac
betrays you for Petty, why don't we let them go? Petty is no longer a threat to us, but are you willing to
let her go? "
Nicole's words made Samuel feel a little sad.
He hugged Nicole and whispered, "As long as you are by my side, the others are not that important to
me."
"I won't leave."
Nicole patted Samuel.
They both had mixed feelings.
Samuel ate something under Nicole's persuasion and suddenly decided to go to find Emory.
Nicole was right. Since Major wanted to deal with them, hiding was not the way.
"Oh right, I always feel that there should be something else in the Green family that Major covets.
Otherwise, why is he targeting us again and again? Also, it seems like he is determined to obtain it."
Samuel paid little attention to Nicole's words.
He whispered, "It doesn't matter anymore. Let's be cautious in our actions. I originally planned to have
a good New Year, but these people really won't stop."
"That's right. Bring Zoe along. Nash is good to Zoe. Since Emory encountered such a thing, I wonder
Nash's condition. Maybe it will be better if Zoe stays by his side."
"That's good."
Samuel listened to Nicole's words and took her and Zoe out.
Although Edwin was a little worried, since Samuel was there, he found it improper to speak.
On the way, Nicole was complaining about Tim's public display of affection. Samuel said indifferently,
"It's OK. We've tortured him hundreds of times, so it's OK for him to take his revenge."
"What?"
Nicole was a little surprised.
'Samuel's attitude was so strange.'
'When did he become so easy-going?'
'Perhaps Samuel let go because Tim was his cousin.'
As Nicole thought this, she let go.
Zoe didn't say much along the way, but just listened quietly. She was so obedient that made Nicole feel
that she was different.
When the three of them arrived at Emory's house, they saw that there were a lot of people standing
guard at the entrance. Although they didn't say anything, they did feel very uncomfortable. It felt like
they were in jail, and the jail was their own home.
Here was the military compound, so naturally, there was no way for them to go out.
Nicole couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought that Emory was such an emulous person, but
now his wife and children were prisoned by others.
She glanced at Samuel.
Even she felt so sad, let alone Samuel, who had gone through thick and thin together with Emory.
"I'm fine."
Samuel knew what Nicole was thinking and gently held her hand.
Zoe frowned slightly, but did not say a word. No one was able to see through what she was thinking.
Nicole and Samuel stepped forward, but no one blocked them, which stunned Nicole.
"They are all the soldiers previously under the command of Emory, so they won't be hard on us."
Samuel explained to Nicole.
And Nicole nodded.
They met Claire when they came in. Apparently, Claire had heard the news at home.
But Claire did not cry as Nicole expected, nor did she look much haggard. Instead, she was tougher.
"You're here. Have a seat. What do you want to drink?"
Claire received them warmly as before.
Nicole hurriedly stopped her.
"Claire, save it. We're just here to pay a visit. Are you alright?"
Claire smiled calmly. Although she was petite, she behaved so well that people were surprised.
"I'm fine. I've been mentally prepared for Emory's matters. There are many sensitive matters that need
to be examined because of the specificity of his job. As long as we have a clear conscience, I believe
that the higher-ups will investigate it fairly and reasonably. This situation is only temporary. He will
come back."
Seeing that Claire was so certain, Nicole felt that she was an example of a military spouse.
"Auntie, can I go to see Nash? I brought him delicious chocolate."
Zoe's sudden words immediately attracted Claire's attention.
"Of course. He's practicing boxing in the backyard. Go to find him yourself."
"Alright."
Zoe nodded genteelly and ran towards the backyard.
"Zoe likes to be with Nash. In my opinion, it's better for us to arrange their marriage when they are
young."
Claire teased.
Nicole really admired Claire. She actually had the mood to joke in such a crisis.
"We can't make the decision about the children's marriage right now. Let it take its course. If we can
really be related by marriage, we'll also be happy. But if we can't, then don't regret it."
Samuel loved Zoe ardently. Although he knew that Claire was joking, he did not have the habit of
making decisions for Zoe.
Claire didn't mind either, after all, it was just a joke.
Though Claire looked very well, Nicole knew that she was still worried in her heart. She couldn't help
but ask, "Is there a way to meet Emory?"
"There's nothing I can do. I miss him too, but I know he'll be back soon."
Seeing that Claire was so sure, Nicole said worriedly, "Aren't you afraid that someone is playing a dirty
trick?"
"The evildoer's success is temporary. I know his character. He has his own bottom line and principles.
He is probably worried about us the most now. I can't do anything. The only thing I can do is to let him
feel at ease. I'll wait for him at home, which will be the greatest help to him."
Claire's words shocked Nicole greatly.
What deep affection could make them so calm and trust each other when facing difficulties and
dangers?
She had always thought that Claire was a petite woman who needed to be protected, but at this
moment, she found that she was so impressive.
"Claire, I intended to comfort you, but now I find that you're so strong. I feel embarrassed."
Nicole said dejectedly.
Claire suddenly laughed.
"Don't say that. I really need your comfort. How about staying with me tonight? I can't sleep well alone.
What do you think, Mr. Green?"
Claire teased Samuel.
Samuel coughed embarrassedly and said, "Nicole can stay here if she wants to. I have no objection."
"Oh, you are so jealous. Hurry up to go back. I won't keep her here."
Claire's words amused Nicole.
"Claire, don't bully my husband."
"Who is the bullied one? I am just a woman, alone at my home. Is it good for you to display affection in
front of me?"
Claire purposely said with grievance, which made Nicole feel much more at ease.
It seemed that Claire was quite positive. She also pondered in her heart if Emory's matter was that
serious. Maybe all this was deliberately shown to outsiders to draw the snake out of its hole?
But Nicole did not ask.
Seeing that Claire was fine, Nicole wanted to get up and leave.
"Let Zoe stay with Nash. Nash is sensitive and cares about his father very much."
Nicole naturally wouldn't refuse Claire's request. Although Zoe was usually a foodie, she had a lot of
ideas on big matters. And it was she who wanted to visit Nash this time.
"Alright, I'll go to tell Zoe."
"Let me. You can have a chat with Claire."
Seeing that Nicole was about to get up, Samuel hurriedly stood up.
After Samuel walked out, Nicole smiled and said, "Samuel loves Zoe very much."
"Emory does the same to Naomi."
Claire smiled faintly, but there was a trace of worry in her eyes.
"Nicole, I heard that after the Night Elf Empire set up for the Green family was disbanded by Samuel,
you set up a new one, didn't you?"
"Yes."
Nicole nodded, not quite understanding why Claire asked about that.
Claire pursed her lip and said, "Then, is the capability of the new Night Elf Empire the same as the
previous one?"
"Claire, what do you want me to do? Just say it directly. I'm stupid. Sometimes I can't understand what
you mean. Just say it directly and I'll understand."
Nicole's voice was not loud but clear.
Claire hesitated for a moment and then whispered to Nicole. What she said instantly changed Nicole's
expression.
