Samuel frowned slightly. Nicole also subconsciously looked at the rear-view mirror. As expected, a
black car followed behind them like a shadow.
Nicole and Samuel glanced at each other and nodded tacitly.
Samuel hugged Zoe in his arms, while Nicole held Joseph in her arms.
"Daddy?"
"Mommy?"
Joseph and Zoe were confused.
"Nothing. Have a rest."
Nicole smiled. Joseph nodded, closed his eyes and fell asleep in Nicole's arms. Seeing Joseph fell
asleep, Zoe also slept in Samuel's arms.
"Go straight, then turn around at the intersection ahead."
Samuel kept his voice low, but the driver could hear it clearly.
The car was still running smoothly. But at the intersection ahead, the driver suddenly turned the car
around and slammed on the brakes. The car behind them never expected that. The driver hurriedly
stepped on the brakes. Unfortunately, it was too late.
The car crashed into the fence and made a loud noise.
Samuel's car turned around and passed by.
Because it was too dark, Nicole could not see clearly who was in that car. She only felt a cold gaze
following them, making her feel uncomfortable.
Nicole frowned. And Samuel said, "Turn left in next intersection and change to another car after
entering the alley."
"Yes, Mr. Green."
The driver made a phone call to get it arranged.
Nicole did not ask anything. She was very quiet but alert, and looked outside from time to time.
The car behind them did not follow. Samuel and Nicole changed to another car in the alley and went to
the airport.
Their private plane was ready there. When the attendants saw Samuel and Nicole coming over, they
quickly opened the door and pulled Samuel and Nicole up.
After the plane took off, Nicole said, "Who do you think are following us?"
"I don't know."
Samuel shook his head. A serious look appeared in his face.
Nicole frowned deeper.
"I feel their cold gaze. I can assure you that they mean no good"
"It's fine. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you and the kids."
Samuel held Nicole's hands and comforted her.
However, Nicole sighed and said, "I'm not afraid of any dangers. I just feel strange. Rhys was caught.
Who else will follow us? Could it be Major?"
"No, Major is busy enough with his own business. He has no time to plot against us."
Samuel said so because he knew the current situation of Major.
Nicole did not ask why. She only asked in a low voice, "That's strange. Who else would follow us?"
"Don't think about it for now. Wait until we arrive at the Harper Town. If anyone follows us, they will
definitely show their tricks."
Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole could only nod her head. But on a second thought, she added, "Could
it be Lindo?"
"I don't know. We can only wait and see."
They held each other's hands tightly. At the same time, they understood that this trip to Harper Town
wouldn't be peaceful.
Along the way, Samuel did not rest much, but urged Nicole to sleep for a while.
Nicole couldn't resist and close her eyes for some rest. But not knowing why, she fell asleep.
By the time she woke up, the plane was about to land.
Looking at this familiar place, Nicole felt different.
When she came here last time, she did not expect to come back. Now, as she set foot on this land
again, Nicole was unable to figure out what she felt like in her heart.
Samuel also put on a serious look, as if he was thinking about something. But his black eyes always
made people feel unfathomable.
After they got off the plane, there was a car waiting for them at the airport.
Nicole found these guards all wore uniforms of the Green family, she wondered, "When did you send
them over?"
"After I bought the entire town last time. After all, this is Alice's hometown."
Samuel carried Zoe out of the car first.
Zoe yawned and looked at the empty space in front of her, only to see an ancestral hall there. She
rubbed her eyes and asked, "Daddy, where are we?"
"We're in the Harper Town."
Zoe's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is this the Harper Town? It doesn't look like what I imagined at all."
Zoe was a little disappointed.
Why was this town so desolate?
However, Joseph looked at the scenery in front of him excitedly and asked in a low voice, "Daddy, is
that an herb field?"
He studied medical science, so he was interested in these.
Nicole remembered that Samuel had protected the herb field before he left last time. Now that she saw
Joseph so excited, she smiled and said, "Yes, that's the herb field. It's said that many precious
medicinal herbs are here."
"Can I go in and take a look?"
Joseph's face was filled with desire.
Samuel nodded.
This was his private territory, and there were so many bodyguards around, so Samuel was at ease.
He also put Zoe down.
Zoe ran in with Joseph.
Nicole was a little worried. She wanted to follow them, but Samuel grabbed her arms.
"Let them play for a while."
Only then did Nicole realize that Samuel was not in a good mood.
"What's wrong?"
As Nicole spoke, she was about to touch Samuel's forehead, but he dodged.
"I'm fine. I'm just feeling really sad. It's as if countless people are crying in my heart. Very depressing."
Samuel did not hide this from Nicole.
Under the influence of the Memory Bug, when he stepped onto the land again, he was extremely
depressed. He kept hearing voices. Everything that had happened here was constantly flashing in his
mind, disturbing his nerves.
Nicole hurriedly looked at the blood jade on Samuel's chest.
There seemed to be something circulating inside the blood jade, and it was impossible to see it clearly.
"Samuel, your jade..."
"Nicole, let's go to the ancestral hall and light incense."
Samuel and Nicole's spoke at the same time.
Nicole paused for a moment, but she did not refuse.
"Okay."
She held Samuel's hand tightly and walked towards the ancestral hall, but she felt a little uneasy in her
heart.
Nicole did not know why she would feel this way. This feeling haunted her and the closer she got to the
ancestral hall, the worse she felt.
"Samuel!"
She stopped at the entrance and grabbed Samuel's wrist tightly.
"What's wrong?"
Samuel's face and lips were somewhat pale. He looked sad and exhausted.
Nicole suddenly couldn't say anything. She found it hard to stop him.
"It's fine. Do you want to take three deep breaths with me? I heard that if you're depressed, taking three
deep breaths would make you feel better."
Nicole looked at Samuel and whispered. Her voice filled with worry.
Samuel wanted to say no, but seeing Nicole's worried gaze, he nodded.
"Alright."
He took three deep breaths in front of Nicole and really felt better. Then, he held Nicole's hand and
walked in.
Samuel had entrusted Trevin with the task of repairing the ancestral hall. Although Trevin had returned
to the Seapolis City, he did not meddle with this task. Therefore, when Samuel and Nicole entered, they
discovered that the ancestral hall had undergone a great change.
Zama's memorial tablet was placed in the ancestral hall.
Samuel looked at Zama's tablet and thought of Aaron and Jarrod.
She used to love Jarrod so much. She used to take care of him and Vincent with tenderness.
Unfortunately, in the end, she handed over such a great responsibility to him, Samuel, instead of
Jarrod.
Samuel did not know what feelings he should bear at this moment.
He held Nicole's hand and walked over. He took out the incense and lit it, offering it to the ancestors of
the Harper Town.
Nicole stood at the side and followed his movements without asking anything.
After Samuel finished, he looked at the tablets and didn't know what he was thinking.
Nicole only felt that the incense had an aroma similar to sandalwood, but it doesn't seem to be. The
smell was so good that it made her feel dizzy and sleepy.
She shook her head abruptly, but she felt it was harder to open her eyes.
Nicole quickly tugged at Samuel's sleeve and whispered, "Samuel, I think there's something wrong with
the incense."
"What?"
Samuel seemed to be in a state of contemplation. He did not react much to what Nicole said and only
subconsciously replied.
At this moment, Nicole sensed danger.
Something was wrong!
The incense was poisonous.
She felt exhausted, and she could hardly open her eyes.
"Samuel!"
She wanted to pull Samuel's sleeve, but she couldn't manage it.
She found it hard to control her body.
When Nicole wanted to say something to Samuel or give him a hint, she fell heavily towards the
ground.
Samuel suddenly regained her senses and subconsciously hugged Nicole. However, he also felt a little
dizzy and couldn't stand firmly.
He suddenly realized something happened. He hurriedly took out a military dagger from his boots and
slashed at his arm without hesitation.
Blood immediately sprayed out. The intense pain made him treble, but he also became sober.
He hugged Nicole tightly and wanted to leave, but he heard that there were many people coming and
surrounding the entire ancestral hall.
Who were them?
Who dared to sneak into his private territory?
