Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 396

"Where are we going?"

Jacob was a little confused and hastily stopped the car.

Samuel wondered why Jacob was so dumb today and glared coldly at him.

Jacob felt fear seared through him.

"I can figure it out. Trust me."

He began to think, and soon Jacob got it.

"You did it on purpose!"

"On purpose?"

"You lost money on purpose before just to give the impression that you are bad at gambling. And you never went to the same casino twice, so people would think you couldn't stand to lose. But your real goal is Tim and his casino, right?"

Jacob finally got his brain back.

Jacob knew Samuel wouldn't lose so much money in casinos since he never failed in business.

Seeing Jacob so complacent about his deduction, Samuel sneered, "Who was the one got heartbroken when I lost 20 million?"

"That's money after all, and it's 20 million, okay?"

Jacob muttered to himself. Well, he admitted that he couldn't see as far as Samuel. But taking 20 million as a ruse was something only Samuel was capable of.

Samuel glared at him and said, "When I was a venture capitalist, I always took out more than 20 million. In the end, you just don't trust me. It seems no one in the world, but Nicole trusts me. Haven't you learn anything following me for so many years?"

Jacob didn't know what to say after being criticized by Samuel, but hearing Nicole's name, Jacob didn't understand.

"Of course Nicole understands you, but even if she is here today, she might not be able to see through it. You just threw money out as if it's nothing to you. No one will know what's in your mind."

"You don't know that. Do you remember when Tim lost 10 million, a waiter came down from upstairs and whispered a few words to him?"

"Yeah. So what?"

The more Samuel explained, the more confused Jacob became.

Samuel glared at him again. He didn't want to explain.

Jacob felt that he was despised by Samuel today. Perhaps he really got dumb?

He tried his best to think about it and suddenly thought of something.

"Are you saying that the waiter was sent by Nicole to tell him to stop gambling?"

Jacob finally got it. Samuel looked at him in agreement.

"Goodness. Are you saying Nicole has always been in Tim's casino? So you were here for her, but you couldn't let others know, therefore you had to go to every casino and let all think that you liked gambling. But in fact, it's not. Moreover, you kept losing all the time, leaving an impression that you were a money thrower and you kept changing casinos because you wanted to win something. But what you were really for was to win Tim's money. You were mad at him, weren't you? Because he hid your wife and didn't tell you, so that was his punishment. You asked me to follow the waiter to see which room he went. And the room was exactly where Nicole stayed!"

Jacob finally understood everything.

Only then did Samuel indifferently say, "You finally got your brain back. I thought you thought of nothing but Olivia now."

Jacob suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Even Jacob, Samuel's right-hand man couldn't figure it out until now, let alone others. He had to admit this move was brilliant.

"But how did you know Nicole was here? We searched all over the city but found no trace. How could you know after all?"

"If you can think of that easily, then you will be me. What are you waiting for? Start the car!"

Samuel would not tell Jacob it was Lucas who found Nicole's whereabouts. It would be embarrassing to let Jacob know.

Dissed by Samuel, Jacob asked no more and turned around. He drove the car to the back of the casino.

"Just stand over there and let me know if anything happens."

Jacob nod in haste.

Jacob felt Samuel and he were up to something bad.

But Samuel didn't care what Jacob thought. He was so excited that he was about to see Nicole. He didn't know if she was fine these days.

The air in casino was always heavy with dust and gray with smoke. She shouldn't stay in such a place.

Samuel quickly took off his coat and climbed up along the pipe.

When he climbed to the third floor and jumped onto the balcony, he heard Tim's voice in the room.

"Samuel is a bastard. I'm telling you, he did it on purpose! Otherwise, why didn't he win money elsewhere and take so much money from me? The money he won from me today happened to be what he lost these days. Am I his ATM now?"

Tim was walking around the room angrily.
