Just as Nicole was in a dilemma, she heard Samuel say, "How is the relationship between Sienna and
Zayn?"
Nicole, who originally wanted to cry, paused for a moment and shook her head. "They just formed an
alliance. To be more accurately, it's because of me. I feel that Phoenix is safer to us. At least she won't
do anything to you."
These words made Samuel feel very uncomfortable.
"You'll be wronged if you go there."
"Who will be wronged is not certain."
Nicole smiled. The light in her eyes moved Samuel. Then he smiled as well. "Alright. But if she bullies
you, you must tell me."
"Of course. You are my dear husband."
Nicole hugged Samuel's arm like a spoiled child. Her body rubbed against Samuel's, which made him
feel that his lust was aroused.
"What do you want?"
His voice was hoarse, but Nicole quickly saw the eagerness in his eyes. So she quickly stood up and
laughed. "I'm used to it."
"I don't mind it if you are like this at night."
If it wasn't for that the situation now was still dangerous, how could Samuel let her go? Now, he could
only look at her and sigh.
Nicole smiled and did not respond.
"If we want to leave, hurry up. I'm afraid that Sienna s unreliable. I'll go to tell Yanice."
Before Samuel could say anything, Nicole already ran away, as if he was very dangerous.
He shook his head with a laugh, but soon his expression became serious.
When he left Phoenix's palace, he spoke so resolutely. Now he was going to bring Nicole back. Would
Phoenix hate Nicole?
Thinking of this, Samuel was depressed.
Right at this moment, Phoenix called him.
"Mr. Green, where are you now? My father has gone to Zayn's place. I will go over now. You can take
advantage of this opportunity to disguise yourself as one of my guards. I will take you away."
Phoenix's voice was urgent.
To Samuel, Phoenix was reluctant to let him suffer. Leo suddenly went to Zayn's place, which scared
Phoenix. Although she was a little dissatisfied with the breach between Samuel and her, she couldn't
care about it now.
Hearing this, Samuel whispered, "There's no need to go over. I'm not at Zayn's place. I'll bring Nicole
over later. If you find it unacceptable, we'll hide somewhere else."
The implication of these words was that if Phoenix could tolerate Nicole, then he would go over. If not,
then he wouldn't go there.
Phoenix was stunned. And she became even more jealous.
For Nicole, Mr. Green repeatedly spoke to her harshly. Now, he was even on guard against her. This
was totally out of Phoenix's expectation.
It looked like Nicole was really important to Samuel.
If she insisted on going against Nicole, it was estimated that Samuel would stay farther away from her.
Even the friendship they had formed during the battle would disappear. This was Phoenix's only
advantage. She absolutely couldn't let Nicole take this away.
Thinking of this, Phoenix said, "Mr. Green, what are you talking about? Since it's Nicole, I will naturally
treat her with care. I will ask someone to pick you up."
"Alright."
What Phoenix said made Samuel feel comfortable, but he was still vigilant.
He knew that the battle between women was silent, but dangerous. At this time, he would firmly stay by
his wife's side.
When Nicole came out with Yanice, Samuel also hung up the phone.
"Can we go over now?"
Nicole knew what happened just now. Although she felt uncomfortable, she didn't show it. Instead, she
appeared to be so generous that Samuel couldn't see her through.
Samuel understood what kind of situation they were facing now. If he wanted to protect Nicole and
Yanice, he could only turn to Phoenix.
Yanice looked at Nicole and then looked at Samuel. "If there's nothing else, let's go. I'm afraid it's
inappropriate to stay here for too long."
"Alright."
Nicole took the initiative to pull Samuel's arm and they walked out.
When Sienna saw them come out, she was not surprised at all. She smiled and said, "Are you guys
ready to leave now?"
Nicole's heart skipped a beat.
She always felt that Sienna seemed to know everything, which was why she was so uneasy. Sienna
had known everything about her family background, but she didn't know anything about Sienna. She
really felt restless about this.
Samuel narrowed his eyes and looked down at Sienna. He could not see anything from her expression.
This woman either hid her feelings very well, or was really innocent. However, Samuel did not believe
the latter one. All the women in the palace were quite capable.
"Yes, we are leaving. Thank you for taking care of my wife during this period of time. I will repay this
later."
Samuel said it very officially. Actually, as long as the other party needed him for something else, he still
could cooperate with them.
However, Sienna smiled and said, "Alright, I'll remember this. However, there's nothing I need you for
the time being. Maybe in the future, I'll really turn to you guys."
These words made Nicole a little confused, but she had no choice right now.
"Is my cousin alright?"
Since Sienna had investigated her family's background, it was meaningless for her to hide anymore.
Nicole changed the topic.
"It's fine. My father won't do anything to Zayn. Don't worry. Besides, he has already agreed to
cooperate with Devon. My father won't make things difficult for my Zayn for his sake."
When Sienna mentioned Davon, her cousin, she was especially happy and even a little proud.
Nicole secretly memorized this name. She would have someone investigate the man's background.
"How are you going? Are you going by yourself? Or should I ask someone to send you?"
Sienna was quite generous.
"We'll go on our own. We can't cause you any trouble."
Nicole knew that she just didn't want Sienna to know where she would go. However, in this palace,
Sienna's intelligence network was really powerful.
"You guys are going to Inez's palace, right? If that's the case, then you don't have to go through the
Mysterious Entrance. There's a path that you can go there directly."
Nicole didn't know if Sienna was intentional. She actually pointed another way for them.
There were no patrols or guards on this path, and it was also relatively close to the palace of Phoenix.
It was obvious to tell how sinister Phoenix was when she let them go through the Mysterious Entrance.
But now, Nicole pretended that she didn't know anything. She smiled at Sienna and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. We're family."
Sienna asked someone to take Nicole and the others out of the palace and take them to the path.
Samuel had a gloomy expression ever since he knew that they didn't have to go through the
Mysterious Entrance.
It seemed that he had not misunderstood Phoenix. She really wanted to do something to Nicole.
Thinking of this, Samuel held Nicole and whispered, "I'll contact Fill later and ask him to personally
bring you and Yanice back."
"I'm not leaving."
Nicole knew that Samuel was worried about her, but at this time, it was extremely dangerous to let Fill
come in.
It was still unknown if they could leave this place. So why would Fill be involve in this?
Moreover, Phoenix was a woman that Nicole wanted to see no matter what happened. No one could
change this, not even Samuel.
Samuel was a little depressed.
"Nicole!"
"Let her stay. If you let her leave just like that, she might have some unnecessary thoughts about you
and Phoenix. Rather than letting her go back to fantasize, why don't you let her see Phoenix herself?
She'll feel a little more at ease this way."
Yanice couldn't help but speak when she saw this.
Samuel sighed and said, "There was and will be nothing between us."
"Then why are you afraid of me staying here?"
There was a trace of resentment in Nicole's eyes.
Samuel felt that the current situation was a bit out of his control.
"I'm afraid she'll hurt you. I'm afraid you'll be wronged."
"Who will be wronged is not certain yet."
At this moment, Nicole was like a warrior in armor, who swore to defend her marriage. No matter how
powerful that Phoenix was, she was not afraid of her.
Seeing how stubborn Nicole was, Samuel did not say anything.
They followed the path and went directly to the Phoenix's palace.
When Phoenix saw Samuel and Nicole coming in from this path, her expression changed. Instantly,
she looked at Samuel and found that Samuel was also looking at her. His eyes were filled with
disappointment and anger. Phoenix felt a little puzzled.
Who exactly told them this path?
He betrayed her.
However, Phoenix did not say anything. Instead, she looked straight at Nicole.
She looked indeed seductive.
Phoenix made comments in her heart, but nothing could be found from her expression.
She was really tough.
This was Nicole's first impression on Phoenix. She had imagined how Phoenix looked like, but she
never thought that Phoenix would be so beautiful. She was so lonely and cold, just like a plum
blooming in the cold wind on a high mountain. It was impossible for others to ignore her beauty.
Nicole felt pressured when she thought of that such a woman had feelings for her husband.
Samuel could also sense strange atmosphere. He coughed and said, "This is Nicole, my wife. Nicole,
this is Phoenix, the sister that I've told you."
Nicole took the initiative to smile and stretched out her hand towards Phoenix.
"Hello, Phoenix. We'll have to trouble you to take care of us during this period of time."
"That's nothing."
Phoenix shook Nicole's hand, but she secretly exerted her strength.
The battle between them begun from the moment they saw each other. Nicole felt the provocation from
Phoenix. She smiled and secretly held Phoenix's hand tightly.
Suddenly, Phoenix let go. Everything seemed normal, but Nicole didn't stop in time. She involuntarily
staggered. Suddenly, a pair of powerful arms surrounded her waist in time, and a gentle voice sounded
in her ears.
"Are you hungry? It seems that you can't even stand steadily."
Samuel's gaze was so gentle. But to Phoenix, it was like a dagger soaked with poison, which pierced
into her heart.
