"How could this be? Even if the Masons are not here at home, there should be servants and
housekeepers. No matter what, they can't let the courtyard be like this!"
Nicole was worried.
Samuel did not say anything. There was still a trace of caution in his eyes.
"Stay in the car for a while. I'll go in and take a look myself."
"No."
Nicole directly refused.
Looking at Nicole's persistent gaze, Samuel sighed and said, "If anything happens later, you can't rush
ahead. Please let me behave like a man."
"Nonsense."
Nicole chuckled. How could a man admit that he was incapable? Samuel was now more and more
skilled at making her laugh.
She and Samuel took a deep breath and took a step forward. They discovered that the door was
unlocked, with a lock hanging on it.
Samuel opened the door and walked in.
The inside was similar to the outside. It was so depressing that people would think that this place had
been abandoned for a long time. It was very likely that no one had lived here for a long time.
However, there was no news of the relocation of the Mason family, and their offshore operations were
still continuing. What exactly was going on?
Nicole quickly looked around, and didn't find anything.
They entered the main hall.
They still remembered how lively and prosperous this place was when Tim and Evelyn got married, but
now it was so depressing and made people feel a little uneasy.
There was thick dust in the room. Nothing changed here. Only its owner and other people left.
Samuel quickly went to the study.
The study room was also neat and tidy, and the computer was also there. However, Samuel did not
know if there were any important documents.
Nicole stayed downstairs to check.
The Mason family could be considered as one of the top rich clans in the Seapolis City. How could
there be no news of such a big change? Were all the servants fired overnight?
If that was the case, it was impossible for them to not attract the attention of the higher-ups. Moreover,
the Mason family monopolized all business and routes on the sea. Every businessman in the Seapolis
City would have to rely on their sea routes. Therefore, there were quite a few people who usually paid
attention to them. How could such a thing happen quietly?
Nicole felt that it was strange as she thought about it.
She searched the rooms one by one and found that there was no one there, but there was a
phenomenon that made Nicole somewhat puzzled.
Two of the servants' rooms were in a mess, as if they were tidying up something, but they didn't have
time.
They had no time...
What had happened to make this happen?
Nicole's heart sank.
After Evelyn was sick, Tim brought her abroad to treat her, which already made Nicole a little sad. Now
that she didn't protect the Masons well, she felt like a big rock was on her heart, which almost
suffocated her.
Where was Ethan?
The Mason family didn't have many children, only Evelyn and Ethan. Ever since Evelyn and Tim got
married, Ethan had been very happy. He was quite busy all day. But now, could it be that Ethan had
passed...
Nicole suddenly shivered.
No!
No way!
Ethan had experienced so many things. How could he be in danger?
Nicole inspected every corner, but she still found nothing.
Samuel also came downstairs.
Seeing his expression, Nicole knew that Samuel had the same result as her.
"Have you been to Ethan's room?"
Samuel nodded.
"I've been there. There's nothing unusual. So strange. It seems like all of a sudden, the entire family
has disappeared without leaving a trace."
Nicole bit her lower lip and said, "Why don't we ask the servants' families about where they are?"
"You know the servants of the Mason family?"
Samuel was curious about this.
"When Tim got married, I saw a servant named Suzanne, a native. She said she had a mother living in
the countryside. I remember the address," Nicole whispered.
"Then let's go."
"Alright."
Nicole and Samuel quickly left the Mason's and drove to the suburbs.
When they arrived at Suzanne's house, Nicole was filled with a medicinal smell and felt uncomfortable.
Samuel pulled her behind him and walked in first.
"Excuse me. Is Suzanne here?"
There was a cough from inside, and then a middle-aged woman walked out.
Her face was waxy, and her hair was a little grey. She seemed to have been tormented by sickness
and life.
When she saw Samuel and Nicole, the woman was stunned for a moment, and she then asked, "Who
are you? Why are you looking for Suzanne?"
Seeing this, Nicole took a step forward and said, "We are here to look for a servant. I've heard that
Suzanne is very diligent, so I want to ask her if she is at home and if she has time to work in our
house."
When the woman heard what Nicole said, she coughed and answered, "Suzanne works in the
Mason's. The Mason family pays a high salary and it is close to our house. She probably won't change
jobs. If you want to see her, go to the Mason's. She hasn't returned for half a month. I wonder if she's
been too busy lately...."
After the woman finished speaking, she coughed violently.
Samuel was afraid that she had a kind of infectious disease, so he pulled Nicole back and asked
cautiously, "Are you coughing all the time? Do you have a cold? Why don't you go to the hospital?"
"Going to the hospital needs a lot of money. I am sick for half a month. I have to prepare a dowry for
her with the money left by Suzanne. I can't spend it. I just cough a lot. I'm fine. I can make some herbs
myself."
The woman coughed again.
Seeing that her illness was so serious, Nicole said, "It's not a good idea to be like this. Just go to the
hospital."
"That's right. If you continue to be sick like this, I'm afraid you won't have opportunities to watch
Suzanne get married."
Samuel's words made the woman's expression change, and she immediately nodded.
Nicole helped her call an ambulance and gave her some money. She said that if Suzanne came, she
must tell Suzanne that the Bush family needed a servant.
Nicole was still very considerate. In any case, there were quite a few Bush families in the Seapolis City,
and she didn't say it clearly.
The woman was extremely grateful, but Samuel quickly pulled Nicole into the car.
"What are you doing?"
Nicole was shocked by Samuel's actions and hurriedly asked.
Samuel whispered, "This woman coughs very badly. She doesn't seem to have an ordinary cold. Hurry
up and follow me back. I'll let Femando and Morgan give you a check-up."
"You're thinking too much."
Nicole knew that Samuel cared about her. Although she said that, she didn't stop him.
They quickly returned to the Green's. For the children's health, they didn't go in. Instead, they went
straight to the wine cellar and asked Femando and Morgan to come over.
When Morty heard that Samuel was going to meet Femando outside, he put down the phone in his
hand and followed him.
"What's going on? You actually sneak around in your own house. What are you guys doing outside?"
"Get out!"
Before Morty could arrive, his voice was already heard. Samuel immediately ordered him to go out
when he heard Morty's voice.
"Femando, don't let him in!"
Samuel rarely spoke in such a serious manner. Femando and Samuel were friends for years. Naturally,
he recognized the caution in Samuel's tone and hurriedly stopped Morty.
"Morty, you'd better not enter for the time being."
"What do you two mean?"
Morty was a little unhappy.
Samuel didn't have time to explain. He just said, "It's for your own good that I told you not to come in.
Don't forget your identity. If you are just Morty, even if you go to die with us, it doesn't matter. But now
you are Mr. Morty!"
He was so serious that he stopped Morty from moving.
His expression was complicated, and he finally retreated.
Femando and Morgan quickly arrived at the cellar. Seeing Samuel's nervous expression, they asked,
"What exactly happened?"
"Examine my wife. She went to see a woman just now, who has been coughing so hard that she
couldn't breathe. I smelled a fishy smell from her. Her face was yellow, her eyes were sunken, and her
gaze wasn't very focused. I suspect that she doesn't just get a cold. Nicole accidentally touched her
clothes. I wonder if it will affect her."
Nicole was stunned when she heard Samuel's detailed explanation.
Moreover, how could that woman have a fishy smell? Why didn't she smell it?
Compared to Nicole's confusion, Morgan was quite serious. Femando also quickly took Nicole's blood
and began to examine it.
Seeing that everyone was so serious, Nicole felt a little depressed.
"Well, she's just an ordinary middle-aged woman. Why are you so serious?"
Hearing Nicole's words, Morgan glanced at Samuel and whispered, "Mrs. Green, if Mr. Green has said
that, it means that there is something wrong with that woman."
"What do you mean? When did my husband become a doctor? Why don't I know?"
Nicole teased, but Morgan was not relaxed.
She whispered, "Mrs. Green, do you still remember the Golden Bug in Mr. Green's body?"
Nicole was immediately stunned.
If Morgan didn't mention this, she probably had forgotten it. During this period of time, Samuel had
always been no different from ordinary people, and his body quality was also very good. She had
forgotten about the existence of the Golden Bug. Now that she heard Morgan's question, she couldn't
help but be worried.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Samuel's body?"
"That's not true."
Morgan quickly comforted Samuel. Sensing Samuel's sharp gaze, Morgan knew that she was talking
too much. She said, "The Golden Bug is the strongest among the bugs. All the poisonous bugs are
nothing in front of it. If you don't smell anything, and Mr. Green smells it, then it means that there are
probably poisonous bugs on that woman's body."
"What?"
Nicole was a little surprised. She didn't expect the Golden Bug to have such a function.
Seeing that Nicole was a little worried, Samuel comforted her, "It's fine. You haven't touched her, so it
will be alright."
At this moment, Femando's expression became a little terrible. The blood data in his hand made
Samuel's face darken.
"What? Is there anything wrong with my wife's blood?"
