"It's not just entering the city. Master Phoenix ordered us to bring you into the palace."
Rey's words shocked Nicole and Yanice.
"The palace?"
"Yes, Master Phoenix said that the most dangerous place is the safest. The king would never have
thought you were hiding in the palace."
Rey admired Phoenix much. It could be seen that Phoenix's reputation was high.
Phoenix was Zayn's sister. Now Nicole was a little curious about her.
Samuel held Nicole's hand and whispered, "Don't ask too much, understand?"
"Yes."
Nicole nodded.
Samuel was a mind reader. He knew what she was thinking.
Nicole was depressed that she had been seen through. Samuel smiled and said, "After the security
check, I'll let you do whatever you want. You can even meet Zayn."
"I want to see Trevin."
Compared to Zayn, Nicole was more worried about Trevin.
Ever since Country F blockaded itself, Trevin was like just disappeared from the world. He followed
Major, and Major was sinister and cunning. Nicole didn't know if Trevin had exposed himself.
"Alright. I'll be with you."
Samuel agreed.
Yanice listened and did not say anything. She was not familiar with these names. And the people she
knew were not here.
"Is William alright? Did you save him?"
Yanice thought that she would never ask about Williams, but she couldn't bear it.
Nicole looked at Yanice and thought of what Samuel had told her. She whispered, "My uncle William
went back before we came. He was taken to the Capital City. He had been imprisoned by Leo for all
these years. His condition was not good."
"Uncle William? William is your uncle?"
Yanice's eyes widened in surprise.
Nicole and Samuel realized that they did not mention Nicole's identity to Yanice.
"Yes, I am a child of the Don family. My father is Xander, and my mother is Audrey. I was mistaken
when I was a baby. I grew up in the Bush family, so I was called Nicole Bush."
Nicole briefly explained it. As for Mr. and Mrs. Bush, she didn't wanted to mention it. It would bring up
another sad memory.
Yanice immediately understood this short but clear explanation.
"Xander didn't get married when he died. He actually had a child with Mr. Shaw's daughter. I didn't even
know about this. I've been missing out on too many things."
Yanice smiled bitterly. No one could understand her pain and sadness.
Nicole was quite uncomfortable. She did not know the love and hatred of previous generations. She
didn't know how to comfort William and Yanice.
She patted Yanice's hand, "Everything will be fine."
"Yes, everything will be fine. How's Lindo then?"
"Dead."
Yanice was stunned. Her face changed and then she became calm again.
No one spoke anymore.
The car drove into the city.
Along the way, there were checkpoints. Nicole and Samuel were a little nervous.
But Rey's expression remained the same as he drove.
"Stop. Routine inspection."
Rey's car was stopped.
"I'm out of town on Santino's orders! How dare you? Can't you see my pass card?"
Rey's voice was harsh.
The man glanced at Rey's car and his face turned pale. He stepped to the side and said, "Sorry, sir.
Please forgive me."
Rey ignored him and started the car.
Samuel frowned and whispered, "Santino?"
"Master Phoenix said that we can't do things in her name. Otherwise, if something happens to her, we'll
be screwed. So we are assigned to the names of princes. This way, we can observe the entire palace.
It will also make us safer. Even if one of us is exposed, no one else will be affected."
Nicole admired Phoenix more.
"Master Phoenix is really smart."
"Of course."
Rey did not conceal his admiration for Phoenix.
Samuel did not say anything. He looked at Nicole's excited face and smiled.
When the car drove into the center of the city, both sides of the street were on guard. The vibe was a
little tense.
Nicole leaned against Samuel's embrace and whispered, "Why do I feel so depressed here?"
"Something must have happened."
Samuel was sensitive. He felt something.
Yanice frowned slightly, "This place should be under control now. We may not be allowed to go in."
Rey parked the car beside a hotel. Samuel, Nicole and Yanice got off the car and entered the hotel.
Rey used someone else's ID card to check in.
Samuel and the others arrived at the presidential suite. Rey asked them to clean up and then brought
clothes for them.
Yanice looked at her long hair and frowned. Then, she went straight to the bathroom, took out a pair of
scissors and cut her hair.
Nicole was a little surprised, but she did not stop her. Instead, she stepped forward and asked, "Do you
need my help?"
"Yes, please."
Ever since she found out that Nicole was William's niece, Yanice's attitude towards Nicole became
close and friendly.
Nicole gave Yanice a nice haircut. She's got short, neat hair now.
Yanice looked at the mirror. She seemed to see her younger self. But some of her gray hair was a
reminder that the years had passed.
If Leo hadn't imprisoned her, perhaps she would have done many things.
Now her love was gone and her career was gone. She missed out everything.
Anger burst out.
Looking at the traffic outside, Yanice wished that this place could be burned and blown up. But she
knew that she could only think about it now. She could do nothing.
Nicole did not know the twists and turns in Yanice's heart. Nicole looked at her short hair and said,
"Yanice, you are so pretty."
Nicole also wanted to be closer to Samuel's aunt.
Yanice didn't care about how she looked. But she was satisfied when she heard compliments.
Actually, Yanice was a beauty, especially when she smiled. She was different from Sally. It was hard to
say who was more pretty. They had their own strengths.
"No matter how pretty I am, I'm not young anymore."
Yanice was filled with regret, but Nicole couldn't help her with this.
Samuel knocked on the door, "Yanice, Nicole, have you got changed?"
"Almost!"
Yanice packed herself up and left with Nicole.
Rey had arrived, and Samuel was also sitting there, wearing a black tuxedo.
"Mr. Green, Nicole, the king has your photos, so basically everyone in charge knows you. If you want to
go in, you need to put on some makeup."
Rey's words surprised Nicole.
"They all know us? Then didn't everyone in the hall see us just now?"
"It's fine. They're all our people. This is our hotel."
Nicole relaxed a little.
Samuel was not surprised. Obviously, he knew it.
Nicole never thought that there had Samuel's business. She looked at Samuel and said, "That's
amazing!"
"Not me. Fill did this."
Samuel did not praise himself, but Nicole knew that the reason Fill worked so hard for Samuel was
because Samuel had saved him back then.
Fill was grateful to Samuel.
"I wonder how he is doing now."
Samuel smiled.
"You can just call him and ask."
"Forget it. I'm just curious."
Nicole made a face at him.
Yanice looked at them. She thought of her youth. At that time, she had also fantasized about love and
what her lover looked like. But now that she was over forty, she didn't dare to think about these.
She had wasted time for too long.
Samuel felt a change in Yanice's mood. He pulled Nicole to his side and whispered, "Hurry up. Rey has
brought someone to put on your makeup."
"Alright."
Nicole did not ask and sat down.
The makeup artist walked in and greeted them. Then she started her work.
Nicole and Yanice took a long time to change. After the makeup, Nicole almost didn't recognize herself.
Nicole's face became neutral, and there was nothing of her former self.
"Awesome!"
Nicole sighed in surprise, and Yanice was also a little shocked.
Her aged face had changed. Now she looked like an elder sister of Nicole.
"It's perfect."
Yanice was quite satisfied.
Nicole turned around to look for Samuel. She wanted to see if Samuel could recognize her. But Samuel
seemed to have gained a lot of weight, especially his stomach. She felt like he was pregnant! And his
clothes were much bigger.
Samuel was simply a fat, middle-aged man!
Nicole was stunned.
"Samuel? How did you change like this?"
She never thought that Samuel would be like this. Nicole almost couldn't accept it.
