However, Samuel came in front of Nicole to protect her. He looked at Laurel with a complicated
expression and said in a low voice, "Don't listen to her. This is Country F, and we don't know if Uncle
Mark is here. Let's investigate first."
His words clearly showed that he didn't believe Laurel.
Laurel smiled bitterly.
She had done so many bad things. No wonder Samuel didn't believe her.
"Mark's troops are in the city. As a Miller, I know some news. Mark took a secret mission and left
Country Z last year. In fact, the mission is investigating the missing cases of the senior officials' children
here. The girls here are the daughters of senior officials from all over the world. After Leo gets them,
Santino keeps an eye on them. They are left naked so they can't escape. Even if they escaped from
this secret room, they couldn't show up in public. Derek and his people are here to keep an eye on
them, and I'm here to take care of their daily necessities."
Laurel told Samuel and Nicole everything she knew.
Looking at the girls curled up in the cage, Nicole felt sorry.
These girls were born in rich and powerful families and used to be the apple of their parents' eyes. But
now, they were Leo's prisoners. They were imprisoned here in the dark. It was obvious that Leo valued
and trusted Santino a lot.
"Why is Santino so valued by Leo?"
Nicole hated Laurel and even trembled when she recalled the past. However, the karma was real.
Seeing Laurel ended up like this, Nicole didn't want to revenge on her anymore. Moreover, Samuel was
raised by Laurel. Nicole preferred leaving her to the country to deal with.
Laurel looked at Nicole. This girl was scared and had no dignity in love five years ago, but now, she
was shining brightly. Laurel had a complex feeling.
She believed Nicole had treated her as a good mother-in-law, but she had destroyed the wonderful
family.
A hint of guilt and sorrow flashed through Laurel's eyes. Then, she said, "One of Santino's relatives on
his mom's side is Mr. Alex. Alex's offspring are outstanding, so Leo values Santino a lot."
In the end, it was because Santino's mother had a strong family background.
Nicole immediately understood.
Samuel looked at Laurel and asked in a low voice, "Country F has advanced technologies, so I guess
the country is financially abundant. Then, why do he and Jayden covet the lodes in our country?"
Laurel shook her head and said, "If we only developed the economy as usual, we could be self-
sufficient. But over the years, the king has been working on military research and nuclear weapons.
These studies require a lot of talents and money, but our country is not wealthy enough to cover these
funds. Therefore, Jayden has been extorting money from other countries these years to support
domestic research and military development."
Now, Samuel understood why Leo and Jayden targeted the lodes.
"So, it was Leo's order to covet the military blueprints I designed for the country, correct?"
Samuel looked at Laurel. He wanted to ask all the remaining questions today. After all, there wouldn't
be such an opportunity again.
After Laurel was extradited to the country, she would be tried and punished. She might go to prison or
be sentenced to death. He had thought that he didn't care, but he was wrong.
Hearing Samuel's question, Laurel nodded.
Now, there was nothing she couldn't admit.
"At first, the king wanted Elvis' gene design. Then, he saw the military blueprints you designed. The
Green family is not big, but everyone is talented. Leo has targeted the Green family since the very
beginning."
Samuel's eyes darkened.
"Were you the one who planned the scandal about Vincent's fight?"
This was something that Samuel couldn't let go of.
He had always felt that Vincent would not fight with others. He believed that Vincent was reasonable
even when he was young. He had been suspecting this for many years, so he definitely wanted to take
this opportunity to get the answer.
Speaking of Vincent, Laurel looked a little sad.
"Vincent had always been nice and sensible. I didn't plan his fight. However, after the fight, Leo asked
me to secretly expand the influence of it. I thought it would only ruin Vincent's reputation and never
expected Jayden to send someone to kill that injured child and blame everything on Vincent. Obviously,
they wanted Vincent to die. The Green family had only two children. Although Vincent was not as
talented as you, they didn't want any risks. They valued your military talent and decided to keep only
you. That was why they planned such a thing. I couldn't bear it, so I secretly informed you to send
Vincent away in advance. But he still died."
Laurel's words reminded Samuel that he indeed got an anonymous letter before hurriedly sending
Vincent away.
He couldn't find out who sent the letter. It turned out to be Laurel.
So, she loved them, so matter how much.
Samuel felt it funny.
She was a spy of an enemy country, but he actually wanted to find her some excuses to comfort
himself.
Samuel's expression turned a little cold. He said to Nicole, "Call Uncle Mark and see where he is."
"Alright."
Nicole turned on her phone cautiously. Samuel turned on the virtual computer and began to disturb the
signal.
Mark was using a military cell phone here with a different number. Samuel told Nicole the number. The
phone was picked up quickly.
"Who is it?"
"Uncle Mark, it's me."
Nicole was very excited when she heard Mark's voice.
Uncle Mark left the Don family and the Seapolis City last year. She missed him.
Hearing Nicole's voice, Mark was stunned for a moment. Then, he understood something when he
realized that she was calling his military number.
"Are you with Samuel?"
"Yes. We are in the imperial palace of Country F now. Uncle Mark, we found some girls. They should
be the daughters of senior officials from all over the world. The two of us can't bring them out. Are you
able to come in and help us?"
Nicole quickly told Mark about it.
The call time was limited. If she spent too much time, they might be tracked.
Mark never expected that Nicole and Samuel would be able to deal with the things that he was at a
loss for.
He said immediately, "Is that place safe now?"
"It should be."
Derek and his people weren't here, and Santino was attending another banquet and wouldn't come
back until late. Therefore, they should be safe for now.
Hearing this, Mark immediately said, "I can't enter the palace. The guards are very strict. I've thought of
many ways but failed. Right now, my people and I are hiding in the downtown area, and we have to
travel cautiously every day. We can't go in and bring those people out. But you can go find a person.
He might be able to help and get them out of there."
"Who?"
"Davon Sawyer."
Mark's words stunned Nicole.
It was Davon again!
Who exactly was Davon?
"Uncle Mark, who exactly is Davon? Is he trustworthy?"
As soon as Nicole finished speaking, Mark said in a low voice, "Davon is the last person in this world
who would hurt you. Nicole, I don't have time to explain to you right now. Listen to me, find Davon, tell
him about this, and ask him to bring you out of the palace as soon as possible. That's not a safe place."
Samuel frowned slightly but didn't say anything. He just immediately cut off the communication
between them.
"Samuel?"
Nicole was a little puzzled. Samuel whispered, "There's a signal tracking."
So, he had to end her call with Mark.
Laurel was slightly surprised when she heard Davon's name.
"Davon Sawyer of the Sawyer family? The Doctor of Medicine?"
"You know him?"
Nicole looked at Laurel with a trace of vigilance in her eyes.
Laurel nodded. Of course, she saw the vigilance in Nicole's eyes. However, she could only blame
herself for what she had done.
She said in a low voice, "Davon is a genius. He was very weak when he was young, and some people
said that he could live for at most twelve years. But he lives way longer than that, and he is very
healthy now. He started learning medicine at five years old and takes care of himself. As you know, Leo
has always been obsessed with gene research. He even managed to get Elvis' gene research data. He
is eager to create genic humans as battle forces. However, few people can complete this research. He
has always wanted to persuade Davon to join this research, but he hasn't had a chance yet."
"Why? Davon is a citizen of Country F. As long as Leo gives the order, does he dare to resist?"
Nicole asked.
However, Laurel smiled and said, "Well, no citizen of Country F dares to resist the orders of the king.
However, Davon used some connections and changed his nationality when he was sixteen. He is now
a citizen of Country Z."
"What?"
Nicole and Samuel were surprised.
Davon was actually their friend.
"But the Sawyer family belongs to Country F, right?"
"Yes."
Laurel said with certainty, "The Sawyer family is large in Country F, but they dropped out of top four a
hundred years ago because they participated in the court internal strife. These past few years, they
have been developing slowly because they were seriously damaged. Davon is said to be the
illegitimate son of the current master of the Sawyer family, and his mother is said to be a bar girl. She
died of a massive hemorrhage when she gave birth to him. Now, no one knows why he changed his
nationality, including his biological father."
