There was mocking in Samuel's cold eyes.
"Do I have a choice?"
It made Jacob very sad.
"Mr. Green, I will listen to you. No matter what decision you make, I will follow you. I will not regret it."
Jacob looked firm.
Samuel snatched Jacob from the jaws of death, so Jacob would not regret taking risks for Samuel.
However, Samuel patted Jacob's shoulder. "Don't be silly. Jacob, you've got a family. Think about Olivia
and your futures. You should keep her safe."
"But Mr. Green, I also want to protect you."
Tears gathered in Jacob's eyes.
If it wasn't for Samuel, Jacob would never have such a good life and happy marriage.
However, Samuel shook his head. "No one will protect me forever. Only my wife and children could
make it. So, Jacob, you can leave after this. You've got enough money to support your family. I know
that Olivia and Nicole are good friends. But if we can't solve the problem, I won't contact you guys for a
while. I will leave Nicole's company to Daisy, so that you don't have to worry about Olivia's career. You
just live a good life, and that's very helpful to Nicole and me."
Jacob's eyes were so red that he almost cried.
"Mr. Green, you leave the Seapolis City in a hurry. And you even leave all your properties to Ernesto. I
know you must get into trouble. I won't leave you now. I can't be that ungrateful."
But Samuel held Jacob's hand tightly and whispered, "I did use your connections to get my family out."
"I can keep protecting you."
"As I said, you should take good care of Olivia. Jacob, you are a man. And you got to protect your girl.
Don't let Olivia suffer like Nicole. Olivia is a good girl. Nicole cares much about her. So, you must treat
Olivia well. Besides, you don't want to spend your honeymoon with us. Don't worry. I will call you after I
solve the problem. At that time, you must come out with me."
Samuel smiled. He was so confident that Jacob got a complicated feeling.
The more dangerous it was, the calmer Samuel became. Jacob had known about this.
Jacob really wanted to be with Samuel through this whole thing. But nobody could change Samuel's
mind once Samuel made a decision.
Jacob nodded in frustration.
Nicole and Olivia chattered about what had happened recently. They didn't hear what Samuel and
Jacob had said behind them.
"I've listened to your new CD. It's really good. Did Michael tell you when you can release the next
album?"
The more attractive Olivia became after she went into entertainment, the more Nicole thought that she
had done the right thing.
Nicole could easily pick up her career as a designer. But she couldn't always protect Olivia well like
this.
Olivia was also very excited. She had not expected that she could do so well.
"Michael said that he would start writing new songs after the New Year. He told me to take some vocal
rest."
"Wow, just go for it. I'm going to tell everyone that I'm the best friend of the pop star, Olivia Kent. God, I
feel so happy when I think about it!"
Nicole and Olivia laughed together.
Samuel suddenly said, "Nicole, Jacob and Olivia are boarding soon. And we're going to have a trip. So,
I was thinking that we should send them a gift. Your company is doing well. Why don't we give it to
Olivia as a gift?"
Nicole and Olivia were surprised.
"No, I can't take it. Nicole has given it her all."
Olivia refused.
Nicole was stunned and couldn't figure out why.
Samuel rarely meddled in her work. He would not just give away his company.
If Samuel wanted to send Jacob and Olivia something, he could take out many things from his family,
which could be more valuable than her company. But why did Samuel choose to say that?
Was Samuel implying something?
However, this thought only flashed through Nicole's mind.
Nicole immediately smiled. "Sure. The company was set up for Olivia. Now, Olivia got her start in
entertainment. It's better if she has her own company. The entertainment industry is very complex.
Jacob needs to grow stronger to protect you. Daisy is Samuel's subordinate. Let Daisy manage the
company for you. Then you might feel a little freer to do what you want. I set up the company for you.
Now that you're doing really well, it didn't waste my efforts. To be honest, I'm not very good at business.
So, I'm going to pick up my brush again and do some designs. Can you just help me and take this
mess over? "
Olivia had been friends with Nicole for many years. So, after Nicole said that, Olivia knew that Nicole
insisted on giving her the company. Olivia was so touched that she almost cried.
"Nicole, don't say that. I know that you ran the company for me. Now you even send it to me as a gift.
Do you want me to feel like I owe you something all my life?"
"No! God, I didn't mean it."
Nicole quickly wiped away Olivia's tears. Then, she hugged Olivia and whispered, "We will always be
good friends. Just take it. I don't know if Samuel and I are going to return. If we can't make it, you must
keep the company for me. You can give it to my children when they grow up."
Nicole's voice was low. Only Olivia and she could hear it. And Olivia's face changed drastically.
"Nicole, what do you mean?"
"Don't ask and stay out of this. Olivia, Samuel and I have our own problems. I can't exactly explain the
matter. I just hope that you could live well no matter where I am. You've married Jacob, and I know well
about him. So, I'm very happy about it. Promise me you'll live a good life for the rest of your life, even
though I might not be there for you. That's all I need."
Nicole smiled, but there were tears in her eyes.
Nicole felt that something was wrong with this trip. She knew that Samuel was hiding something from
her. Something was happening beneath this false peace.
However, it was all speculation. Only when Samuel said that he wanted to give Olivia the company did
Nicole realize something. Now she didn't know if they could return safely.
Samuel removed some properties for her.
Thinking about this, Nicole got relaxed.
As long as she could stay with Samuel, she would not be afraid of anything.
Olivia did not know what had happened to Nicole and Samuel, nor did she hear any rumors. Hearing
Nicole's words, Olivia felt uneasy. But she realized something at the same time. She could only help
Nicole after she grew stronger.
It was useless for Nicole when Olivia just cried and refused to let her go.
Olivia never knew why Nicole got into so much trouble just because she married Samuel. Then
something happened, and Olivia went into the entertainment industry. Until then, Olivia finally found out
that rich families were not as shiny and bright as poor people thought.
A wealthy family was consisted of scheming and dangers.
Olivia was not a great help to Nicole now, but she was confident that she could catch up. If Nicole was
destined for a twisting mile of thorn, Olivia could be her armor and knight.
They would be best friends forever. The short separation led them to better reunion.
Various thoughts popped in Olivia's mind. She hugged Nicole tightly and then let go.
"Don't worry. I'll take the gift," Olivia said with a smile.
"Alright."
Nicole had always wanted to help Olivia, but she knew that Olivia was proud. Now that Olivia had
married the man she loved. Booth was also doing well, so Olivia did not have to worry about him.
Then Nicole and Olivia changed the topic, and their laughter filled the car. Everyone in the car lighted
up and looked tender.
Samuel was staring at Nicole.
Nicole looked amazing, just like when she gave that lecture in college.
Samuel never told Nicole that he had gone to all her speech contests during her college years. It was
just that he came and went in a hurry, and few people had seen it.
At that time, Nicole was like this, all sparkling like the brightest star in the sky. She was so attractive
that Samuel was tempted.
Jacob did not disturb them. He sat quietly by the side and took out his phone to arrange for something.
Samuel's phone rang.
It was a message from Blair.
"Are you gone?"
"Not yet."
Samuel replied quickly.
Blair was anxious.
"They've got restrictions on movement at the ports, airports and train stations. Someone went to the
Green's and the Shaw's for you. Your phone may be monitored. After sending this message, you need
to turn it off. You know how to contact me without a phone."
"I see."
Samuel got hard and stony eyes.
Those people were quite fast.
They had got restrictions on movement at the ports, airports and train stations?
Cool.
They were underestimating him.
Samuel was the uncrowned king of the Seapolis City. They could never have Samuel at their mercy.
Samuel never did anything wrong because of his other identities. He was willing to make that sacrifice.
But now Emory had been investigated, so Samuel did not want to obey those rules anymore. Why did
those people think that Samuel would listen to them?
Samuel would not cooperate with the investigation, nor would he go back with them and solve the
legacy problems in the Harper Town.
Thinking of this, Samuel smiled evilly and threw his phone out of the window.
The car behind him could not turn. It drove over the phone, which shattered into thousand
pieces.
