"What is your relationship with Lindo?"
Nicole was straightforward.
Aaron, however, did not speak. Instead, he looked coldly at Nicole with an expression that was
somewhat elusive.
Nicole didn't force him. She smiled faintly and said, "Aaron, let me guess, you must have been
abandoned. You have been captured by us for so long, but they don't even care about you at all. There
is even no rescue operation. You did everything you could for them. Do you think it's worth it?"
Aaron remained silent. The contempt in his eyes made Nicole immediately understand that she had
guessed wrongly.
Could it be that Aaron knew from the beginning that he was just an abandoned pawn?
It couldn't be.
If that was the case, it was impossible for him not to plan for himself, so could it be that this was a
strategical plan?
Right now, Nicole was cautious. She did not know who, of the people around her, were enemies and
who were friends. Nor did she know when those people would set up a trap for her and Samuel.
Thinking carefully, she realized that they had caught Aaron too easily.
How could she and Samuel catch this fellow who had schemed thirty years ago so easily after thirty
years?
The more Nicole thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
The smile on her face also subsided.
"Aaron, no matter what plan you have or what idea you have, you can't leave here. I advise you to think
about your own future."
"Future? I really regret not strangling Samuel when he was born. I let him grow up so strong and
become my enemy. But Nicole, don't be cocky. You two are still too young after all. I was just caught by
you. We'll see who will have the last laugh."
Aaron sounded confident, as if being caught wasn't a big deal.
Nicole observed him but was unable to read his expression. She could only say indifferently, "Then let's
wait and see. However, it's a pity that Zama fell in love with a man like you."
Nicole had said it sincerely.
Although Zama had done so many wrong things, she must never have thought that the person who
betrayed her and the entire town was her first lover, Aaron. But now, Aaron didn't have the slightest bit
of feelings for Zama, and it could be seen from his attitude towards Jarrod.
Thinking of Jarrod, Nicole was very angry.
Everyone said that even a ferocious tiger doesn't eat its cubs, but Aaron was even worse than a beast.
When Aaron heard Zama's name, he was slightly surprised. Then he sneered, "How can a woman from
a small town be worthy of me? It is her honor and good fortune that I was willing to toy with her!"
Nicole was astonished.
When Aaron said these words, his disdain for Zama was deep, as if he was a natural noble. The innate
quality could not be changed.
So what exactly was Aaron's true identity?
Nicole suddenly realized this.
From the beginning, everyone thought that Aaron was a geological surveyor. People tended to think
this was just an ordinary profession. This was actually a misconception.
She and Samuel had seen Aaron as an ordinary person from the beginning, but how could an ordinary
person know about and specifically go to the Harper Town? If he were just an ordinary person, would
Lindo have cooperated with him?
Some details that had been neglected in the past suddenly surged into Nicole's mind.
She stared at Aaron, causing his hair to stand on end.
"What are you staring at me for? Do you have a crush on me?"
Aaron's words were truly vulgar.
Nicole felt that Jarrod was fortunate not to grow up like him.
"Aaron, I wonder why Jarrod had a father like you?"
"Did you buy that unfilial son of mine over? Otherwise, why was he defiant to me? With that bitch Zama
as a mother, he wasn't like me at all. If I hadn't done a paternity test to prove that he was indeed my
son, I would have directly killed him. But since he died from the bugs, he is now with his mother."
When Aaron talked about Jarrod, there was not a bit of affection towards his son in his tone.
Nicole frowned slightly and said, "At least he was your biological son. You are so indifferent to his
death! Aaron, you are an animal."
"He was ungrateful. He died. So what? I'll have another son."
Aaron spoke with utter indifference. Nicole felt that it was impossible to communicate with him. She
was afraid that she would kill Aaron if she stayed any longer, so she turned around and left.
"Keep an eye on him. Don't make any mistakes."
"Yes, Mrs. Green!"
Nicole walked out of the cave and saw Morgan walking towards her. She slowed down her pace.
"How did it go? Did Aaron say anything?"
"No."
Nicole shook her head.
Morgan had a premonition about such a situation, but she still hoped that things would turn around.
Seeing how disappointed Morgan was, Nicole whispered, "Morgan, do you have any way to check
Aaron's background?"
"Aaron's background? Isn't he just a geological surveyor?"
Morgan looked at Nicole, puzzled.
Nicole shook her head and said, "I thought the same thing at first, but Aaron's tone just now made me
suddenly think that maybe we were all misled by our own thoughts." Aaron was able to get away from
the incident of the destruction of the Harper Town that year without leaving a trace, and could even
continue to live peacefully in the past thirty years. Was it really because Lindo had given him
protection? We haven't heard of Lindo in all these years. If Samuel didn't have a special channel to find
out about Lindo, perhaps we wouldn't have known about his existence at all. However, this person has
indeed disappeared over the years. So Aaron is really capable. He is definitely not a simple geological
surveyor."
"I'll investigate this matter."
As soon as Nicole finished speaking, Sally walked out.
Seeing Sally, Morgan subconsciously wanted to hide.
"You don't have to go. I won't force you to take me to Mark right now."
Sally's words surprised Morgan.
"Why?"
"Because it's not safe now. Even Emory is watched. I don't know who I can trust now, and I don't know
how many snitches there are around us. So I'll wait. Since you know Mark's address, it proves that he
is alive. I have waited for so many years, so I don't mind waiting for a few more days."
Sally was a calm person, or she wouldn't have survived until now.
Nicole knew that she had thought of some possibility from Morgan being coerced, so she made such a
decision.
Nicole also wanted to see Mark, but now it seemed to have to be postponed.
Morgan felt a little guilty and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Green. I put Miss Zoe in danger."
"Zoe is not necessarily in danger. Even if something really happened to her, you don't have to say sorry
to me. Let's temporarily put this aside. Now that Samuel is not here, the three of us need to manage
the Harper Town well. Have some people keep an eye on Aaron, and several others on Jarrod. I didn't
tell Aaron that Jarrod was still alive so Jarrod could be safe. I just don't know when he will wake up.
Sally, go check Aaron's true identity. I hope to know as soon as possible."
Nicole arranged things calmly.
"Alright."
Sally nodded and left.
When Nicole saw Joseph walk over, she knew that he might have something to say to Morgan, so she
left as well.
Joseph came to Morgan. She said sadly, "I'm sorry, Joseph. I was confused. They may hurt Miss Zoe.
I...."
"Daddy will bring her back."
Joseph's tone was quite certain.
He had never trusted a person before. Morgan was surprised that he had so much faith in Samuel.
Joseph held Morgan's hand and said, "Master, don't be manipulated again in the future. Daddy and
Mommy will do their best to protect me. You should believe in them."
"I do. I was just worried about you. You are like a son to me."
Morgan meant it.
Joseph's eyes became moist.
"Don't worry, Master, I will take care of you."
"You kid."
Morgan was on the brink of shedding tears.
The two of them slowly walked towards the room.
When Nicole came to Jarrod to check on him, she saw that Amelia was drinking something black. She
was so scared that she hurriedly stepped forward and snatched it away.
"What are you drinking?"
Amelia wanted to evade the question.
"Give it to me."
"What is this?"
Nicole had an intuition that this was not something good.
Amelia looked at Jarrod who was unconscious, and said in a low voice, "Abortifacient. I made it
myself."
"Are you crazy?"
When Nicole heard this, she immediately dumped the drug.
"Amelia, do you know how much Jarrod yearns for this child? He even asked us to protect you and the
child no matter what. How can you abort it? Don't you also want to have a child with Jarrod? Now that
you're finally pregnant, why are you doing this?"
Nicole did not understand what Amelia was thinking.
Judging from what Amelia did for Jarrod, she really loved him, but since they loved each other, why
didn't she want to have his baby?
When Amelia saw Nicole dump the drug, she said, "Leave my business alone."
"How could I? It's not just your business now. You're the person Jarrod cares about the most. He's still
unconscious. How can I watch you kill his child? Amelia, what exactly are you thinking? Can you tell
me?"
Nicole did not think that Amelia was a ruthless mother. From the look in Amelia's eyes, she could tell
that she also loved this child, but why wouldn't she keep it?
Nicole suddenly thought of the poisonous bugs in Jarrod's body.
"Are you afraid that the poison in Jarrod's body will affect the baby and you will give birth to an
unhealthy child? Is that why you don't want it?"
