Lucas was the first to get the news of Nicole's accident.
Lucas started to realize something went wrong when his grandma, Mrs. Green, called the three of them together and talked about playing the parent-child game after Samuel left the house in a hurry.
Mrs. Green usually liked to play with them, but it was rare to see her serious like that.
Lucas was a thoughtful child. After playing with Mrs. Green for a while, he noticed that she was absent-minded. So, he took out his phone to surf the Internet when he was going to the bathroom.
Although those dirty photos were deleted by the Greens, the scandal spread everywhere. Lucas’ eyes turned red.
'Who exactly slanders Mommy?'
'Where is mommy now?'
He finally realized he has not seen Mommy for a while.
Thinking of the way Samuel left in a hurry, Lucas knew something must have happened to Nicole.
Lucas’ hands trembled slightly.
He walked out of the bathroom, went straight to Mrs. Green and asked, "Nanny, where's my mommy?"
Mrs. Green was stunned for a moment by what he asked, but she smiled and said, "Your Daddy and Mommy are out on business. They will be back later."
"Did Mommy leave home alone? Daddy is looking for Mommy, isn't he?"
Mrs. Green did not know how to answer his question.
Zoe blinked and asked blankly, "Daddy and Mommy didn't go out together? Lucas, what's wrong with you?"
Lucas felt hard to continue. Anyway, he couldn't let Zoe know about these things.
"Nothing, I'm just asking."
However, Mrs. Green knew about her grandson, and it was definitely not that simple. When she saw the phone in Lucas’ hand, she immediately understood everything.
"Lucas, play with your brother and sister home for a while. It's not safe outside recently. Don't let them go out. You're a smart child, and you know what to do."
Lucas nodded.
He put down his phone, a little distressed. And he wasn't having too much fun.
Zoe was childish. She would be happy, as long as she had someone to play with.
Mrs. Green told all the servants to stop using the Internet. Even the TV at home was not allowed to be turned on.
Joseph also felt that something was wrong. But Lucas did not say anything in that atmosphere, so he did not express his opinion either.
Surely the Dons also received the news.
When Mrs. Don saw these indecent photos, she was so angry as to smash a lot of things.
"It's fortunate for us to kick her out of our family, otherwise we would be looked down upon. Look at this! How embarrassing! She is so shameless, and she was even photographed like this! If Audrey hadn't left, he would definitely be pissed off."
"Mrs. Don, I'm afraid this isn't true. I don't think Miss Nicole is that kind of person."
The old servant beside her couldn't help but said.
"Not that kind? If she isn't, why would others slander her? Why wouldn't they slander someone else with those photos? My eyes are tainted. Look at how many men there are, and what people talk about on the Internet! I'm losing face!"
"Few people know about Miss Nicole's relationship with our family. Besides, you said she would be no relation to us. Why bother getting angry?"
"How could I not get angry? The tie of kinship cannot be denied. She is of the same blood as Xander. If his father knew, he would crawl out of the grave and beat her to death! How shameless she is! She is embarrassing the Dons. Tell me, which girl behave like her? I see why she was so ruthless as to make use of her mother's death. It turns out that she is completely shameless!"
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. In the end, she smashed everything around her to ease her anger.
Jason also got the news. It would take time to rush back from abroad. He called Nicole, but her phone was unable to get through. He had to silence the gossip with the help of authority of the Dons. However, not long after, the news spread again.
The media accused the Greens of bullying others and abusing their power for personal gain and blamed them heavily.
Samuel didn't care at all.
Everyone was busy with her scandal.
When Viola saw this situation, she finally felt relieved.
"Nicole, I'm waiting to see how you're dealing with it. You think you're protected, and you've got the best man in the world? I don't believe it. How could a man be so generous that would adore a woman who has slept with many men? Anyway, I admire you for your courage to prepare the divorce agreement. But you lost to me."
The more Viola saw, the happier she felt.
Her enduring depression and grievances finally found a vent. She felt gratified.
As long as Nicole was in trouble, she would be happy.
If Nicole was overwhelmed with shame because of the gossip on the internet, she would celebrate it with firecrackers.
Mike came back and went straight to Viola's room.
"Viola, did you see that? The Internet is full of news about Nicole. I'm worried about Sam and I want to visit him. You stay at home, don't go anywhere. It's not safe outside. I don't want you to be harmed."
This was what Samuel feared.
Those reporters were too crazy. It was hard to predict what would happen if they saw Nicole.
Mike was also anxious when he saw how disturbed Samuel was.
"Is there anything we can do? Did you send all your man to look for her?"
"Yes, but there is no news at all."
Samuel frowned.
Mike took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Samuel. "Have a cigarette to relieve yourself. We need to think about it carefully. Maybe she's hiding somewhere."
Samuel did not suspect him. He took the cigarette and began to smoke.
"I've known her for so long. Even Olivia couldn't find her. I really don't know where else she can hide. If she hides herself, it will be fine. But if someone kidnaps her or she encounters something else, I really don't dare to imagine the consequences."
Thinking of this, Samuel felt even more disturbed.
He took a deep breath of the cigarette. It was so sweet that he wrinkled his brow.
"What is that?"
"It's from Japan. This is also my first time to smoke it. But why is it a little sweet?"
Men like Mike and Samuel naturally couldn't get used to this kind of cigarette. However, since they lit it, they didn't care too much. It was just a cigarette.
Samuel took another sip and easily asked, "When did you start to like this kind of cigarette? This is woman's cigarette. Don't give me this kind of cigarette again, I don't like it."
"I didn't buy it. It was Viola that gave to me. I saw it was made in Japan, so I took it."
Just as Mike finished, Samuel suddenly became vigilant.
"Say it again. Who gave it to you?"
"Viola. What's wrong?"
Before Mike knew what was going on, Samuel threw the cigarette away, but he still felt dizzy.
"Mike, damn you!"
As soon as he finished, he staggered and fell down.
