“Raise your head!”
Nicole’s voice was not loud but full of dignity.
The maid was startled. Then she tossed the things from her hands towards Nicole.
Nicole subconsciously blocked them and cried out immediately, “Get that woman!”
The woman pushed the window open and escaped. The guards rushed to follow her.
Upon hearing her cry, Samuel and others rushed over.
“What happened?”
He pulled Nicole over, carefully checking if she had any injury.
Nicole shook her head and said, “I’m fine. Just now, a maid was going to find Laurence, and I found it.”
“Laurence?”
Samuel squinted slightly. Olivia and Booth also rushed out of the room. Upon hearing what Nicole said,
they were slightly taken aback.
“Was it Cara?”
Olivia had got to know all the stories, so she immediately guessed if it was Cara.
Nicole shook her head.
“No, she wasn’t. I could recognize Cara’s height and figure if it were she. That woman had a hoarse
voice, but her height and figure are different from Cara’s.”
“Then who was it?”
All of them were confused about this maid.
Zayn heard that someone with an unknown identity had sneaked into the palace, so he strengthened
the security measure. However, that maid seemed to disappear. No one could find any trace of her.
“Anyone would have traces of their actions. This maid could make others fail to find her location and
existence. She’s either a maid of this palace or extremely familiar with here.”
Samuel agreed to Tim’s words.
Davon slightly frowned.
“Laurence has almost recovered. Why did the maid come to find him? Was she checking on him or did
she want to get anything else from him?”
“No matter what, Laurence can’t continued staying here.”
Tony immediately suggested, “He can move to my house. I don’t think anyone is so bold to break into
the Thompson house.”
Others were all taken aback.
Davon smiled and said, “That would work. No one in Country F dared to break into the Thompson
house. Unless he or she has a death wish.”
“Why is that?”
Nicole was a bit curious.
Tony said with complacence, “Because we are well-known for poison.”
“Poison from Dior?”
Olivia didn’t understand so she asked. Tony’s mouth corners twitched.
“You are truly a superstar and only know the luxuries. I said the poison, the drug. My house is a manor
with all kinds of poisonous plants in front of the door. If the person wasn’t from my family, he or she
would blackout after entering for a few meters and then get poisoned.”
Upon hearing it, Nicole widened her eyes.
“That’s so amazing!”
“Of course! We’re an influential family with hundreds of years history.”
Looking at Tony’s complacent look, Olivia felt quite annoyed, She said, “It should be a poisonous family
with hundreds of years. Don’t misunderstand about an influential family.”
“Olivia, are you picking a quarrel deliberately?”
“Yeah. Do you want a fight? Try me! You’ll be against two of us.”
Olivia straightened up her belly. Tony became depressed instantly.
“I... I don’t argue with a pregnant woman.”
“Gee! Don’t sound like you can win against me verbally.”
Olivia and Tony argued with each other as if there were no one around. Nicole watched them argue,
feeling quite confused.
Samuel, however, frowned deeply.
Tim thought about that it was still uncertain if Jacob was dead or alive. When he watched Olivia and
Tony argue, he felt awkward.”
“Hey, Tony. How old are you? Are you married?”
Upon hearing Tim’s question, Tony was taken aback. Then he said while feeling annoyed, “Why do so
many people like urging others to get married? Besides, are we close enough? Don’t you think it’s such
an abrupt question?”
“I don’t think so. I just think it’s not good for you to be so close to a married woman.”
Tim was straightforward, so he didn’t care about anything. Although he didn’t like Jacob in the
beginning, he recognized Jacob as his buddy after knowing Jacob’s family background and what Jacob
had done for Samuel.
Jacob had been his best buddy for several years, so when Tim saw Jacob’s wife get along so well with
another man while Jacob’s life was still at risk, he felt quite annoyed.
Hence, Nicole, Olivia, and others suddenly gaped at Tim’s words, which was almost a challenge.
Evelyn tugged Tim and whispered, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“I’m sorry.”
Tim also felt that his words sounded quite inappropriate as soon as he finished them, especially when
he met Olivia’s confused and aggrieved eyes. He knew that he had acted recklessly.
Probably it was because he was extremely worried about Jacob.
Now, he couldn’t stand that Jacob’s beloved woman argued with another man without knowing
anything. However, Tim also knew that it wasn’t a proper time to let Olivia know Jacob’s news.
Tony didn’t know what was behind it. Upon hearing Tim’s words, he looked annoyed.
“Sorry? Are you a man? Why can’t you think before speaking anything? Do you think we’re still in
ancient times when a man and a woman couldn’t talk with each other at all? So what with Olivia and
me? We’re buddies and friends. There’s nothing between us. Why? Do you mean she needs to
consider the feminine virtue when speaking to me? You just dislike me, don’t you? Or probably you
dislike Olivia. If you want a fight, just make it clear.”
Although Tony was quite cheeky usually, when he got serious, he naturally emanated a certain aura.
Tim had already realized that he acted quite recklessly. However, it was because he was worried about
Jacob, he was quite annoyed. Now, he had made an apology but Tony still scolded him. The wave of
anger surged in Tim’s heart.
“A fight? Think you can win against me?”
“Try me!”
They almost started fighting.
Olivia didn’t know what happened to Tim now, but she didn’t want to cause any trouble right before
Zayn’s wedding. She rushed over and pulled Tony back.
“Stop it! Have a clear estimation of yourself. Even three of you together can’t win against him.”
Although it sounded quite normal, Tim couldn’t bear it today. He directly said, “I haven’t done anything
to him. You don’t need to be so protective.”
“Tim!”
Evelyn realized that he had gone too far. She pulled him back and said to Olivia in embarrassment, “I’m
sorry. He’s drunk today.”
“Is he drunk? Can he talk about nonsense after getting drunk? Tim Louis, what do you mean? Have I
done anything to offend you? What did I do to you? Why are you so weird to me today? You even keep
slandering. Do you have any problem with me?”
Olivia also looked annoyed, gazing at Tim. Instantly, the atmosphere in the hall was quite suffocated
and depressing.
