Samuel thought Nicole was feeling unwell, so he hurriedly asked, "Are you alright? Why don't you go
back and have a rest?"
"I'm okay."
Nicole shook her head.
After about half an hour, Dylan wasn't back yet. It was late, so Samuel said to his people, "Take Dylan's
parents to the hotel. Two people stay here to wait for Dylan. As long as he comes back, bring him to
see us."
"Yes, Mr. Green."
Samuel brought Nicole back to the hotel.
He thought he had done a stupid thing. How could he just stand there and wait? Nicole was weak and
he should take good care of her.
Samuel poured a cup of hot water for Nicole and asked her if she was hungry.
Nicole was worried about Evelyn and Tim, so she did not have the appetite. But when she saw
Samuel's worried expression, she forced herself to eat some.
Samuel thought that he was just doing a favor for Morty, and he didn't expect Tim would get involved.
Where exactly was Aiden?
Nicole knew that Nicole was anxious, but he didn't know how to make her happy. He could only comfort
her and tell her to rest.
Samuel went to the balcony and called Morty.
"What's the matter?" Morty answered.
Morty wasn't in a good mood either.
Molly was very repulsive to his approach due to her bad experiences. Furthermore, Molly was no
longer as happy and confident as before. She isolated herself and was unwilling to walk out of her
shell. But Morty could do nothing about it.
Thanks to Michele, Morty could get along with Molly. But he knew that Molly didn't have plans to marry
him.
This made Morty upset.
And Samuel's phone call provided an outlet for his bad emotions.
Samuel could tell that Morty was in a bad mood from his tone. Since he was also bothered, he didn't
care much about Morty's emotions and said, "I want Dylan to live."
"What's the reason?"
Morty frowned slightly.
Morty hated Dylan and he even wanted to kill him in person. He wondered why Samuel pleaded for
him.
"He can help me find Tim and Evelyn, and can even find out if Jeffrey had some contact with Martin."
Samuel told Morty what he had known from Dylan.
After that, Morty frowned tightly.
Morty knew who Martin was. When he heard that Martin was involved, he couldn't help but say angrily,
"Martin seems to have done lots of evil things. Perhaps he had interfered in the events of the Harper
Town. Although I have no evidence, I thought what Leo and Jayden had done and Laurence's missing
might also have something to do with him."
"These are all your speculations. Do you have any evidence? If you don't, we can't do anything with
him even if we find Martin. Besides, we don't know where he is yet. Dylan is important for us to get
some clues. I know you hate him because he treated Molly and Michele badly these years, but he is
useful now. Isn't he?"
Samuel's words depressed Morty, but he knew that Samuel was right.
"He can live, but I don't want to see him anymore."
Morty made a big concession.
"Alright."
Samuel did not expect Morty to let Dylan off. But if he wanted to protect someone, he had his ways to
keep Morty from knowing where the person was.
When Samuel returned to the room. Nicole was asleep in the chair.
Although Nicole had recovered well from the birth of her last babies, she spent much of her energy on
traveling. In addition, she was bothered by Evelyn's matter. It was conceivable that she was weak now.
Samuel carried her onto the bed and pulled up the quilt.
Even if Nicole fell asleep, her brows were tightly knitted together.
Samuel sighed and lay down beside her. No matter what, he had to maintain his strength in order to
protect Nicole in the following actions.
The two of them slept for a long time. When there was a knock on the door, Samuel suddenly opened
his eyes and found that it was dark now.
He looked at his watch. It was two o'clock in the morning. Nicole was still sleeping. It seemed that she
was really exhausted.
Samuel got out of bed gently. He opened the door and saw Dylan.
Dylan looked somewhat tired but pleased.
Dylan found Samuel was looking at him, he blushed with embarrassment. He whispered, "Aiden was
back late. In order not to arouse suspicion, I slept with him. After that, I come back."
At first, Samuel didn't understand what Aiden meant. After all, he didn't like men. But he immediately
figured it out after watching Aiden's expression.
"Where is Aiden now?"
"I drugged him and he is in the lounge of the casino now. I want you to send two people to help me
carry him out."
Samuel nodded slightly at Dylan.
He asked two bodyguards to go with Dylan.
After that, Samuel returned to the room. But he couldn't sleep.
Actually, he wanted to go with Dylan, but he had to stay and protect Nicole.
About an hour later, Dylan brought a comatose man back.
Samuel glanced at them and called Steven. He wanted to imprison Aiden in Steven's empty villa.
Nicole was brought to Steven's private villa by Samuel while she was half asleep.
Dylan knew Samuel was cold-hearted, but he didn't expect Samuel to be cruel.
After Aiden was carried to the basement, Samuel asked a subordinate to hit him with a barbed whip.
Dylan saw that and trembled in fear.
When the whip came down, Aiden immediately screamed. And a piece of his flesh was stripped from
his body.
Although Dylan was not whipped, he seemed to feel the pain.
He thought that Samuel was a kind man since he protected him. But now, he realized that Samuel just
had no intention of dealing with him. Otherwise, he would also be tortured by him.
Aiden was broad awake and realized his situation and cursed angrily.
"Bastard! How dare you! Do you know who I'm working for?"
"I really want to know who your boss is."
Samuel stepped out of the shadows after he heard Aiden's clamor. Aiden became surprised when he
saw Samuel's face.
And Samuel realized something from Aiden's surprised expression.
Aiden knew who he was.
Sure enough!
Samuel asked coldly, "Who are you working for?"
Aiden's eyes moved quickly as if he was making something up.
Samuel didn't continue to talk nonsense with him but gave a signal to his subordinates. Then Aiden
was whipped again.
A series of terrible screams sounded.
Aiden cried out again in pain.
Dylan tried his best not to make a sound. He wanted to escape, but he knew that without Samuel's
permission, he could go nowhere.
Aiden thought he was strong enough to endure the pain, but he was wrong. They whipped him soundly
and the pain was so bad that he kept trembling and begged for mercy.
"Stop! I can tell you everything."
Just as he was speaking, Samuel suddenly took a step forward and knocked Aiden out.
Dylan and everyone else were surprised.
Didn't Samuel want to know who Aiden worked for? Why did Samuel knock Aiden out before he
spoke?
Samuel became serious.
"Keep an eye on Aiden. He has to be watched for 24 hours a day. You can work in shifts to make sure
that. If he dies, I'll punish you all."
After Samuel spoke, the bodyguards instantly regained their spirits.
Dylan didn't know what was going on, but seeing that Samuel was about to leave, he hurriedly asked,
"Mr. Green, what about me?"
"Stay here. If Aiden dies, you will die with him."
Samuel's words made Dylan scared because he believed deeply in what Samuel said.
Samuel went out of the basement with a gloomy expression. Seeing that, Nicole stepped forward and
asked, "What happened? Aiden refused to say?"
"No, I'll tell you in our room."
Samuel held Nicole's hand and entered the bedroom, then he immediately called Morgan.
"Ask Ernesto to arrange a helicopter to send you over now. I need you to do some work here."
Morgan followed his order.
After hanging up the phone, Samuel was still uneasy.
Nicole rarely saw that Samuel was uneasy as he was now, and she poured a cup of warm water for
him.
"What happened? You look pale."
Samuel drank up the water and then looked at Nicole and said, "Someone used poison produced by
venomous insects on Aiden. Just now, when he was about to say, I found there seems to be a bug
moving beneath his skin. That's why I knocked him out. Just now, I've asked Morgan to come over and
examine him. We should remove the bug from his body before questioning him. Otherwise, he will die
at any moment."
Nicole was astonished.
Nicole knew a little about poisonous bugs. She thought these bugs only appeared at Harper Town and
few people know the techniques about the bugs. She didn't expect she would see them somewhere
else.
Did she think wrong?
Seeing Nicole's expression, he knew what she was thinking. He couldn't help but stretch out his finger
and scratch her nose. He smiled and said, "Few people know the techniques about poisonous bugs.
Take it easy. It's difficult for ordinary people to master the techniques. I noticed Aiden's bug because
there was a Golden Bug in my body."
However, Nicole did not feel better after Samuel spoke. She frowned tightly.
"So, Aiden is related to the Masons?"
