As soon as Samuel said that, Edwin instantly became solemn. Meanwhile, Nicole looked amazed at
Samuel and felt that Samuel's voice was murderous.
Was it an illusion?
Nicole didn't dare to say anything. She remembered what Samuel looked like in front of her not long
ago. He seemed to be delirious back then, but how about now?
Nicole looked at Samuel again. When she found that he did not seem to get a clouded mind at all, with
his eyes clear, she could not help but frown.
Edwin paused for a second and spoke indifferently when he looked at Samuel.
"It's a military operation. You should know that we all have a confidentiality agreement. I can't tell
anyone about it."
"Oh, that's right. There's a confidentiality agreement."
Then Samuel smiled evilly and Nicole was agitated.
Samuel didn't smile like that before. However, he was enchanting with that smile.
Nicole stepped forward right away, held Samuel's arm, and said, "Why did you ask about the Harper
Town all of a sudden?"
"Nothing. It crossed my mind. I just wondered. Besides, Emory is still under investigation. I'm afraid it
has something to do with that, so I asked."
Samuel's words made sense.
Edwin glanced at Samuel. He felt that Samuel did look murderous, but now Samuel didn't look like that
anymore.
Edwin might get it wrong.
Edwin recovered his calmness and said, "Where are you going to travel? Have you decided yet?"
"Not yet. We just want to get around."
Samuel answered gently and looked completely different from what he looked like when he asked that
question.
Nicole was afraid that Samuel would look fierce again, held his arm at once, and said, "I get some
clothes ready. Come in and see if what else you need to take with you."
Samuel looked at Nicole and smiled. Without saying anything, he followed Nicole into the bedroom.
As soon as Samuel entered the bedroom, Nicole closed the door, looked at him with feigned anger, and
said, "You freaked me out. You looked horrible when you questioned my grandfather. And you looked
like you wanted to kill him."
"What would you do if I really wanted to kill him?"
Samuel stretched out his hand and put her hair behind her ears. His eyes grew tender.
Nicole was terrified.
"What do you mean? Are you really going to do something to my grandfather? Samuel, is something
wrong with you? I feel like you've become a different person since Morgan detoxified you, especially in
front of my grandfather. Do you want to avenge the Harper Town?"
Nicole asked bluntly.
Samuel was surprised this time.
He knew Nicole was smart, but he didn't expect her to be even so sensitive and attentive. Samuel
couldn't help asking Edwin just now, but Nicole came up with considerable speculation.
Samuel grabbed the back of her head and kissed her, leaving her breathless.
She struggled to push him away, but she failed. Not long after the kiss, her body went soft. She didn't
even know when Samuel carried her to bed.
By the time Nicole realized it, she was lying in Samuel's arms.
Smelling the familiar scent and a trace of fragrance, Nicole frowned slightly.
"Don't try to deflect my attention. Samuel, give me a reasonable explanation."
With that, Nicole turned around angrily.
Samuel smiled, stretched out his long arms around Nicole. He whispered, "You look really seductive
when you lose your temper."
"You, scram!"
Nicole reached out her fist and struck him. Samuel laughed heartily.
It had been a long time since he smiled so cheerfully.
Nicole was stunned.
Samuel saw Nicole staring blankly. He extended his finger and tapped her forehead. "Rest assured. I'm
fine. Morgan just put a Golden Bug in my body when she detoxified me. So I can't suppress my anger
sometimes."
"What?"
Nicole sat upright straight away.
"Morgan risked her neck to poison you!"
"If I refused, I would die."
Samuel told Nicole about the Memory Bug and the Harper Town.
Hearing that, Nicole remained silent for a long time.
How could that be?
It was simply too hateful!
"What did Zama want? She refused to let you go and prevented you from living a normal life even if
she was dead, didn't she? Other mothers are desperate to make their children live well, but what about
her? Zama even plotted against you before she died. Samuel, I can't wait to go to the Harper Town to
whip her body."
"Alright."
Nicole heard that and her angry voice stopped abruptly.
"What?"
"Aren't you going to whip her body? But Zama turned into ashes. It's impossible to do that. However,
you can scatter her ashes."
Samuel said indifferently while Nicole gaped at him, not knowing what to say.
Scatter the ashes?
That was so terrible.
Did Samuel hate Zama so much?
Nicole took Samuel's hand and pondered for a moment before saying, "Why don't we just stay indoors
for the time being? Go to Blair to see if he can remove the Golden Bug from your body."
"I checked. The Golden Bug is harmless and has many benefits. I'm moody not because of it, but the
evilness of the Memory Bug."
Samuel held Nicole's hand and lay flat on the bed. He looked at the ceiling and whispered, "People in
the Harper Town put the Memory Bugs in their descendants because they wanted them to experience
the massacre and see clearly how their clansmen were killed. They will feel the anger and hatred much
more deeply in that way rather than by word of mouth. Besides, Memory Bug should be nurtured by
their ancestors with resentment and anger, so this kind of evilness may cloud our minds."
"Then what should we do?"
Nicole hated that his mind was clouded and would be controlled by these bugs.
Samuel was her husband. He shouldn't stand up for those selfish people in the Harper Town.
Samuel was quite pleased to see her worry about him.
Samuel touched Nicole's hair and smiled, "Don't worry. Those who put the bug inside me are able to
get it out of me. Besides, am I easily controlled by others? Nobody can decide what I want to do or
what I hate to do. Even with their ancestors' resentment and evilness, no one can force me to do
anything. The first thing I want to know is what people in the Harper Town did to make the military so
determined to destroy the town."
That was what Samuel wanted to know.
As for revenge?
Forget it.
Samuel lived in comfort with Nicole and their children.
Samuel didn't lose his mind and wouldn't insist on getting involved in the grudges of the last generation.
Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole was finally relieved.
She lay in Samuel's arms and whispered, "You scared me. I thought..."
"What? Do you think I'm controlled by the bug and want to avenge the Harper Town? Why will I do
that?"
Nicole chuckled.
"Then why did you question my grandfather combatively? I thought you were going to fight with him.
No, you asked my grandfather because he was involved in that operation, right?"
"Yes."
When Samuel saw Nicole's expression, he knew that she guessed it. Samuel did not hide it and
nodded.
"How could it be?"
Something flashed into Nicole's mind, but she couldn't catch it. She heard Samuel continue, "Not only
Mr. Shaw, but Elvis and the Dons got involved."
With that, Samuel saw Nicole's eyes narrow and knew what Nicole guessed.
"Our three families are involved. Elvis is dead and William's whereabouts are unknown. Sally was
kidnapped when she was a child. I suspect that all those things have something to do with the Harper
Town."
Nicole grabbed Samuel's arm with a rush and asked, "So you're going to the Harper Town, aren't you?"
"I'm going there for the truth and Zoe."
Hearing that, Nicole froze.
She remembered that Zoe offered to travel to the Harper Town.
Zoe only proposed that after coming out of the Cawker's, so it was very likely that it was the Cawkers'
idea.
But was it Claire's or Nash's idea?
What did they want Zoe to do in the Harper Town?
Was Emory's case relevant to the Harper Town?
Those puzzles vexed Nicole. It was like a wool ball with knots, but she couldn't untangle it.
Seeing that Nicole was so nerve-racking, Samuel grabbed her and said softly, "Just shake it off. You
will cross the bridge when you get to it. You may not guess anything even if you rack your brains. Let's
play it by ear."
"What will you do? If all of those are related, there will be no peace on our way to the Harper Town."
Nicole was worried about that.
Nicole wouldn't be anxious if only she and Samuel went there. But now they had to take their children
with them.
What if their children got hurt accidentally?
However, Samuel smiled, "Who said that we will go to the Harper Town directly?"
"What?"
"We can go somewhere else first. We don't have much time to hang out with our children over the
years. Now that we finally have such an opportunity, why do we screw up our plan for that? The truth of
the Harper Town is just dispensable. Whether we know it or not makes no odds to our lives. The most
important thing for us is to travel. What is travel? It is to relax, embrace nature, and roam with our
children. Mrs. Green, is there any place you want to go?"
Samuel looked at Nicole affectionately. Nicole was really overwhelmed.
"I don't know. Anywhere is paradise to me when I'm with you."
Nicole's words stunned Samuel.
Samuel recalled what Nicole had experienced with him. How could that be a paradise? It was clearly a
hell.
However, Nicole was silly and quite content even in adversity. How could Samuel leave her and stop
loving her?
