"What do you say?"
Nicole's face immediately darkened.
However, Wendy had hung up the phone. And Nicole seemed to have heard people quarrelling before that.
Someone wanted to take Zoe away?
Who?
Vincent?
Nicole rushed home instantly, but she was still late.
Wendy cried, "Nicole, I couldn't stop them. I..."
"Who took them?"
Nicole looked terrifyingly gloomy.
Wendy said while trembling, "It, it's Mr. Vincent's people."
It was indeed him!
Irritated, Nicole returned to the Eternal Group.
"Mrs. Green, the president is busy. Please wait a moment. I'll tell him."
The secretary intended to stop Nicole, but Nicole pushed her away.
She kicked open the door of the office. Everyone was stunned by such a savage action. After all, to them, Nicole was Mrs. Green, a noble lady, and designer Catherine. No matter what, she shouldn't be so rude and barbaric.
However, it didn't matter to Nicole.
She grabbed Vincent by the collar and asked anxiously, "Where did you send Zoe and Joseph?"
Nicole was so emotional. Vincent looked at her and smiled, "Why are you so nervous? I'm actually doing this for you. You see, brother is outside now, and Lucas is not here, either. You're ill, and the two kids are just too noisy at home. Zoe likes Joseph so much, so of course, I have to get them together. Don't worry, I just found a fun place for them. I promise they'll have a good time."
"I have the final say on where my daughter goes. What do you mean by taking them away without my consent?"
Nicole was so angry that she trembled slightly.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't beat Vincent, she wouldn't mind punching him in the face right now.
However, Vincent did not seem to feel her rudeness. He continued smiling, "Nicole, I am doing this for you."
"Really? You are doing this for me? By treating me like this when your brother's not around? It doesn't seem like that to me. Vincent, what exactly do you want?"
Nicole couldn't stay calm anymore.
She knew that it was impossible for her to continue pretending to be calm in front of Vincent. After all, he had already made his move, and it was very fast and accurate. He directly went for her weak spots, leaving her no choice but to confront him like this.
Vincent just pulled away Nicole's hand, tidied up his shirt and said, "Nicole, don't insult me. I just want you to do me a favor."
"Do you a favor? I'd say it's a coerced 'favor'?"
"Whatever you say. My aim is very simple. As long as you can find Mr. Bates and get me what I want, Zoe will come back safely."
Nicole's eyes narrowed as she heard him.
"I don't know any Mr. Bates, nor do I know what you want."
"It's very simple. Don't you know Chuck? He has come to you over and over again."
Nicole frowned more deeply.
"Are you monitoring me?"
"Monitoring? No. I was just worried about your safety and accidentally saw someone coming to you."
Vincent was kind of a genius, being able to say these shameless words with such grandiose sounding.
At this point, even if Nicole said she didn't recognize him, it would be useless.
"I don't know Chuck, and I don't know how to contact him, so I might not be able to help you."
However, Vincent smiled and said, "I know where Chuck is. As long as you can make him talk and let me know where Mr. Bates is and get what I want, Zoe will come back to you. I promise."
"You shameless! Don't you feel ashamed when you threaten me with your own niece's life? That's right, people like you have no pride. How could you care about that?"
Nicole's words made Vincent's smile frozen for a moment.
"Well, that was really surprising."
"Surprising? Since we have stopped pretending now, why don't you just tell me where Samuel is now? Does his missing have anything to do with you?"
Nicole stared at Vincent fiercely.
However, Vincent only said indifferently, "I really don't know about my brother's missing."
"Stop pretending in front of me. Vincent, let me tell you, if anything happens to Samuel and my daughter, I will not let you get away with it."
Nicole meant what she said.
She was declaring war on Vincent.
Vincent finally stopped smiling.
He looked at Nicole and said coldly, "Do you think I'm a bastard?"
"It's not what I think. You ARE a bastard."
Nicole took a few steps back and looked at the face that was the same as Samuel, but her heart was very beating violently.
What was she supposed to do?
Where were Samuel and Zoe?
Nicole didn't know at all. She didn't even know what Vincent wanted her to do.
Her people had gone to save Chuck, and she didn't know if they could succeed. Now, Vincent was so confident in front of her, waiting for her reply. Could it be that her people had...
Nicole's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained plain.
Vincent looked at Nicole, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
