"This is..."
Nicole was shocked.
Claire laughed, as if it was not a big deal.
"What? Are you afraid?"
"No, I am not. It is just beyond my expectation."
Nicole pulled herself together, but it really astonished her.
She had never thought that Claire was planning on investigating Emory's superior through Night Elf Empire!
So Claire suspected Emory's superior.
Thinking of it, Nicole was scared.
If Claire was right, then it was really formidable because many people were involved in it.
Claire did not push Nicole to do so. She just said indifferently, "Do it if you want to help. If not, just forget it. I'll get the news from the black market."
"You will reveal yourself if you make a deal in the black market. Just leave it to me."
Nicole already calmed down.
Having been on the same side, Emory and Samuel shared common interests. What's more, Nicole couldn't let Claire risk it.
Anyway, Major kept watching Samuel and Nicole, so it didn't matter whatever they did. It would be better for them to take Claire out of it.
Hearing this, Claire became serious.
"Nicole, it is very dangerous."
Holding Nicole's hand, Claire said helplessly, "But you know, only the Night Elf Empire can make it now. Emory is in the prison, and I can't do it by myself. I know you and Samuel are in troubles, but you can do it for your own good. It really matters, so you must keep it only between us. Once you get the evidence, Emory will be saved and some of your problems will be solved, too. "
"What? Do you know what our problem is?"
Claire gave a mysterious smile and didn't say anything else.
Samuel returned soon. He saw Nicole talking with Claire and said, "Are you done? If so, we'll go home."
"Yes."
Nicole stood up, looked at Claire and whispered, "Take care."
"Don't worry. I will take care of myself and the children until Uncle Emory comes back."
Nicole was impressed by her determination.
Going outside with Samuel, Nicole said admiringly, "I really underestimated Claire."
Samuel smiled faintly.
"Emory and Claire have been married for years. Soldiers in the military all respect her so much. She isn't that frail as she looks. It is just that Emory protects her so well that she doesn't need to do anything. Claire is a woman who looks weak but, actually, is tough."
After hearing this, Nicole knew more about Claire.
Samuel and Nicole drove away from the military compound. Then Nicole suddenly said, "Drive to Laurence's. I have something to tell him."
"Just call him. We don't have to go there."
Samuel said so because Nicole looked tired.
Nicole whispered, "It's almost New Year. Let's go over and take a look. Adela's parents are still there. Laurence has worked hard for my Night Elf Empire for over half a year. I wonder if he has bought food and clothes for New Year. He never says what he needs for his natural reserve. I can see that in his world, there is nothing but work. So, as his boss, I should go visit him. Besides, Laurence is lonely. I want to set him up with Cara. What do you think? "
"I think it is not appropriate for you to butt in on their relationship. Just let them be."
Although Samuel said this, he still listened to Nicole and drove to Laurence's.
Laurence asked Nicole for an advance on his salary and paid a down payment for a house for Adela's parents to live in.
The house was in the villa district. More than 200 square meters, it was not big, with rooms on two floors and a garden. But because of the elegant environment, it was expensive. Paying the mortgage, Laurence got a meagre sum from his salary every month.
This villa district was not far from the Green's, so it didn't take long for Samuel to drive there.
They stopped on the way and bought some nutrients and clothes from the shopping mall.
Nicole and Samuel got off the car. Samuel was about to knock on the door when he heard a bang from inside, followed by Cynthia's scream.
"Laurence, you bastard! Stay still!"
Nicole frowned because of the noise.
"What's going on?"
Nicole wanted to knock on the door, but Samuel stopped her.
He winked at Nicole and then easily opened the electronic door.
Nicole was stunned for a moment.
"Darling, how did you unlock it? You are great! If you lose your job, we can do the business."
Samuel was speechless, flicked on her forehead and whispered, "What are you talking about? Even if the Green family is bankrupt, we don't have to do a business like this."
"So why do you learn the trade?"

What is it with Chinese authors.
