"Did you say that all the VC executives had contacted you?"
Nicole's voice was somewhat strange.
"Yes, Nicole, what's wrong?"
Vincent was anxious earlier, so he didn't listen carefully. Now that at the sound of Nicole's voice, he couldn't help but be startled.
"Nicole, Samuel asked me to turn against the Don family secretly before. But now how should I deal with it? I have to figure it out. The Don family and our family have coexisted in the Seapolis City for so many years. Could it be that Samuel really wants to annex the Don family? If not, should I stop? Samuel needs to give me a clear indication. You know, our group can't afford to spend so much money now. This is simply a strategy that will cause damage to both sides. I can't get in touch with Samuel now. This is urgent. Nicole, please contact my brother and ask him to give me a call, okay?"
Vincent was quite anxious.
A great number of employees of the Eternal Group relied on Vincent. He and Samuel had arranged that once Samuel gave an order, he would make a move. Now, the executives of the venture capital companies were unable to withstand the pressure and turned to Vincent one after another. That was why Vincent had no choice but to ask Samuel for a strategy.
However, Vincent couldn't get through to Samuel now.
When Nicole heard Vincent's explanation, her heart sank, and she whispered, "I will try. However, you can't contact Samuel, so I guess I can't either. Make a prompt decision by yourself it you have to."
"I'd better listen to my brother first. Nicole, please."
Vincent hung up after he finished.
Nicole's expression changed completely.
Not knowing what was wrong with Nicole, Olivia asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Who called you? Was it Vincent? Are you involved in the business of the Green family now?"
Nicole looked at Olivia and thought of what Olivia had just said.
'Samuel hasn't gone abroad!'
Nothing happened to the overseas branch!
So where was Samuel?
Why did he lie to her?
Samuel switched off his phone. Why did he refuse to answer anyone's call?
A series of questions flashed in Nicole's mind.
Since Nicole did not speak, Olivia became a little worried.
"Nicole, what are you thinking? What's wrong? Does something happen? Considering your current state of health, you are not suitable for thinking too much. Apart from Samuel, don't worry about anything else, okay?"
"What if I'm thinking about Samuel?"
As soon as Nicole finished, Olivia was astonished.
"What do you mean? Am I right that Samuel cheats on you?"
Olivia couldn't help but want to slap herself. Why did she bad-mouth Samuel just now?
"I'll call Samuel and ask him when he'll be back."
Then Olivia quickly called Samuel. Unfortunately, Samuel's phone was turned off.
Nicole's face sank when she heard the cold female voice on the phone.
Samuel said he wouldn't lie to her again!
Nicole forced herself to get through the kidnapping of Zoe, convincing herself that Samuel was doing it for their own good. But what was his reason this time?
Samuel clearly knew that Nicole hadn't completely let go of Zoe's incident. But he lied to her once again. Moreover, he disappeared and turned off his phone. What was he doing?
Nicole was extremely depressed. In addition to her poor health, she was even more irritated.
"There's no need to call Samuel. Just call someone else."
Olivia was confused.
"Who should I call?"
"Jacob!"
Olivia was shocked again.
"Jacob?"
"Yes."
Nicole looked at Olivia with sharp eyes.
Although she didn't know why Nicole insisted on calling Jacob, Olivia did as she was demanded.
Upon receiving Olivia's call, Jacob quickly came. At the sight of Nicole, he asked blankly, "Mrs. Green, is there something wrong?"
"Where is Samuel now?"
Nicole asked straightforwardly.
Jacob was Samuel's special assistant, and Samuel would tell him everything. Now, no one knew more about Samuel's whereabouts than Jacob.
"Mrs. Green, Mr. Green is on a business trip."
Olivia was a little annoyed by Jacob's innocence look. She kicked Jacob's shin and said angrily, "You're still covering for Samuel. Nicole already knows. Hurry up and tell us where Samuel has gone."
Being kicked by Olivia, Jacob felt a little painful. Then he said wrongly, "I really don't know. Mr. Green only told me to protect Mrs. Green. He didn't tell me his whereabouts this time. My task is to take charge of the safety of Mrs. Green and her children. What's wrong?"
Nicole turned to look at Jacob suspiciously, but she didn't say anything.
Considering Jacob's behavior, Olivia couldn't help but excuse Jacob, "Nicole, maybe Jacob really doesn't know. Gabrielle will come later. You can ask her. Maybe she knows."
"Yes, Mr. Green was with Blair before he left the country. I heard that they went to a club and then came out together."
After Jacob finished speaking, he regretted it, because he saw the doubt on Nicole's face.
"Club? When did Samuel go to the club?"
Jacob hurriedly shut his mouth.
"Speak!"
Olivia felt that if Jacob took Samuel's side, he was offhand with her and Nicole.
"I don't know. Perhaps Mr. Green had a nasty brush with Mrs. Green, so he went out to give vent to his feelings. But don't think too much about it, Mrs. Green. Mr. Green won't do anything else except drink when he goes to the club."
Since Jacob had spilled the beans, he had no choice but to confess. But he still wanted to defend Samuel.
Nicole somewhat felt angry.
"What's the name of the club?"
