"What's the matter?"
Seeing that Samuel was upset, Nicole was concerned.
Samuel whispered, "Ernesto lost her."
"How come?"
Nicole was very surprised.
Ernesto was quite skilled and never failed to reach his goal. How come he failed this time?
Was he caught by Sally?
Nicole was confused.
Lucas was glued to his phone.
Joseph could tell from Lucas' complexion that he slept quite well last night.
All in all, Lucas was under too much pressure.
One of them was on his phone, and the other reading a medical book. Neither of them talked.
Nicole stopped asking. It was not a good time to ask when the children were there.
When they arrived at Emory's, Nicole found that there were more people than before.
Samuel was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he got out of the car with the children.
"Sorry, Commander, we can't let you in. This is an order from the higher-ups."
The guards stopped them.
Samuel was getting angry.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me?"
"Commander, I'm sorry. I know who you are, but this is a controlled area. No one is allowed to enter."
The guards were in a difficult situation.
Nicole frowned and said, "Our daughter is still inside. Can we take her home?"
"This should be possible."
The guard went in to report to Zoe.
Not long after, Zoe came out. When she saw Samuel and Nicole, she rubbed her eyes and said,
"Daddy, Mommy, I can't go home with you. Nash has a fever, and I have to be with him."
Samuel was touched.
"Zoe, be aware that you won't be able to see Daddy and Mommy for a long time if you don't leave now.
People can't go into Uncle Emory's house recently."
Samuel knew that once it became like this, it was very likely that the Cawker family was banned from
contacting others.
Thinking of this, Samuel felt very uncomfortable.
Zoe looked at Lucas and Joseph, and then turned to Nicole and said, "Mommy, will you blame me if I'm
not by your side?"
"No, but Mommy will be worried about you."
Nicole noticed that Zoe was thinner.
However, Zoe smiled and said, "Don't worry. With Naomi and Nash, I will be fine. They need me now,
so I can't leave. I hope you won't blame me."
"I won't. You are so good. Call Mommy if you need anything."
"Alright."
Zoe said a few more words to her family and went in.
Nicole did not see Claire this time. She did not know what was going on inside. However, she knew that
even if there was a problem with Emory and he was really penalized, his wife and children should not
be involved. Right now, they were nothing but banned from contacting others, for fear that the situation
get more complex.
Samuel and his family got into the car, very depressed.
Suddenly, Lucas said, "Samuel, if possible, go to Country F to get some fresh air with Mommy."
"What?"
Samuel was a little surprised, and Nicole was even more stunned.
Lucas said quietly, "I don't know why Uncle Emory was controlled, but it seems to have something to
do with Country F. Uncle Zayn was there. As mommy is well acquainted with him, you might get some
information there. Also, Major has always been against us. It is a disadvantage that we stay in the
Seapolis City all the time. Why can't we take the initiative to deal with him in Country F? He is a
criminal who escaped from our country, and the reason why we can't do anything to him is that he is
protected by Santino in Country F. But if you go over there, with Uncle Zayn supporting you, isn't it easy
to have him killed? That would be a good thing for not only us, but the country."
Hearing her son say this, Nicole was stunned.
Lucas seemed to know much more than they did.
Samuel took this suggestion seriously.
"We can go over, but we worry about you and Joseph."
"About what? Joseph will follow you, and I will be in the military compound. They will not dare do
anything to the Shaw family and the Don family for the time being. I think Uncle Zayn also needs your
help."
Young as he was, Lucas analyzed all of this like an adult did.
Sometimes a problem would become less complicated with a child's thought.
Samuel and Nicole thought about it for a while and thought it would work. In any case, they had
planned to go to Country F sooner or later. It was OK that they went now.
Lucas seemed to know what Samuel was worried about and whispered, "Samuel, I know you're
worried about Uncle Emory, but even if you stay in the Seapolis City, there is nothing you can do. You
must know that there are special teams in charge of each case. We can do nothing but wait for the
results. Such being the case, why don't you do something practical?"
These words embarrassed Samuel a bit.
It was true that too much worry took away sagacity.
He was muddled because of Emory.
When they arrived at the Shaw's, Jason had already left, leaving red envelopes for Lucas and the
others, including Nicole.
When Nicole went back to her room to pack her things, she received a phone call from Sally.
Nicole was not surprised by this.
When Sally was in the Seapolis City, in any case, contacting her was much safer than others.
Nicole answered the phone.
"I thought you would call me as soon as you got off the plane."
Nicole smiled faintly.
Sally said somewhat helplessly, "Is it your people following me?"
"Yes."
"Alright. I thought it was them."
Sally heaved a sigh of relief, but what she said somewhat confused Nicole.
"Them?"
"People in Country F have discovered that I'm not dead, and they tracked me all the way to kill me.
Morgan might have been shot when she was covering me. I escaped alone. Other than the Seapolis
City, I don't know where else to go."
Sally's words shocked Nicole.
"Who found out that you faked your death? The king of Country F? He is your husband. Shouldn't he
be happy when he found you didn't die?"
"Nicole, the situation in Country F is too complicated. I can't explain it clearly to you now. I just hope
that you can arrange a place for me to hide and help me find Morgan, will you?"
Sally's request was not excessive.
In fact, Nicole felt that it was very likely that they were exposed because she asked them to look for
Joseph.
Otherwise, why would she be exposed after years of faking her death successfully?
Nicole did not know what Sally's plan was, but she knew that she had to help Sally now, because Sally
was her relative, and the person Edwin worried about the most.
Edwin was old. Just as he had said, he would die in a few years. His only wish now was to find his
eldest daughter and know that she was fine. That's all.
Nicole felt that she would feel guilty if she couldn't even fulfill this little wish of Edwin.
"How about going back to the Shaw's? Grandpa misses you very much."
This was what Nicole thought.
The guards of the Shaw's were very strict. Sally would be protected well there.
Sally shook her head and refused.
"No, I can't go back. I will bring danger to the family, to Dad. I haven't met him officially and fulfilled my
filial duty. I can't bring danger to him."
Sally's words made Nicole's heart warm.
"I'll have Samuel get it arranged."
"Aren't you going to ask me what trouble I am in? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by helping
me?"
Hearing this, Nicole paused for a moment. Then, she smiled and said, "You are my aunt, my mother's
elder sister. My mother passed away, and I hope that you will be fine. As for troubles, was I ever afraid
of them? Or were the Greens? Don't worry, we get power here. No one can hurt you with us around.
These words moved Sally a little.
But over the years, she had long been used to restraining her emotions. She just said in a husky voice,
"Thank you, Nicole."
"Don't mention it. We are family. I'll call you later."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Nicole went to Samuel and told him about Sally.
Samuel frowned tightly.
"What's wrong? Is it troublesome to arrange a place for her?"
"It's not about a place to stay, but about what happened in Country F. Sally has been in Country F for
many years. She has her network of friends. Even if someone found out that she was still alive, she
wouldn't be so vulnerable. Think about it carefully. She has faked her death for so many years, and
even developed her own faction. Hasn't she thought of a solution if she was exposed one day?"
Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole was flustered.
"Are you saying that Sally is not coming to us for a simple reason?"
"I won't say that. Perhaps things happened too suddenly, or perhaps there are some other reasons that
forced Sally to abandon her faction and flee back to the Seapolis City. Or maybe the Seapolis City had
something or someone she needed. Of course, these are all my conjectures. To figure it out, I need to
meet you. Nicole, before we go to Country F, we must know what happened there. We must be
prudent"
Nicole agreed.
However, they prepared a place for Sally to stay anyway.
Nicole offered to meet her.
Sally agreed.
That night, Samuel and Nicole went to a villa.
Sally carefully opened the door of the villa and told them to hurry in.
Seeing that she was very cautious, Nicole narrowed her eyes, but didn't say anything.
When they entered the inner room, Sally had someone bring tea to Nicole and Samuel. Then, she
smiled and said, "Have a seat."
There was a trace of coldness around her, as if she had just returned from the outside.
Nicole did not say anything, but just held up her teacup and smelt it.
"Good tea."
She smiled and took a sip.
However, Samuel asked directly, "Ms. Sally, can I ask you a question?"
