Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 578

"What's going on?"

Samuel frowned slightly. Obviously, he was disgruntled to be bothered.

The bodyguard immediately went out to take a look, but got pushed back by someone.

"Samuel, what do you mean?"

It was Vincent.

Samuel glanced at him without saying anything. He put down the grapes in his hand and said softly to Nicole, "Are you through?"

"Yes."

Nicole did not know how to treat Vincent now.

Although she already knew that Samuel had fallen out with Vincent, they were brothers. She didn't know how to spare Samuel's feelings.

Just as she was racking her brains, Samuel stood up and looked at Vincent.

"Why do you come?"

"Samuel, are you going to start a war with me?"

Vincent pulled a long face.

Nicole did not know what Samuel had done, but she could tell Vincent was raged.

"Start a war? Do you think you're good enough to start a war with me?"

Samuel looked coldly at Vincent.

Vincent was taken aback.

He noticed that there was no warmth at all in Samuel's eyes, which were as cold as a sharp dagger, overwhelming him.

"Samuel, don't you underestimate me?"

"Nonsense. Let's talk later. I don't have time to argue with you today. Get lost now! Don't disturb us."

Samuel said rudely.

Nicole sensed the difference in the way Samuel treated Vincent.

Without saying anything, she sat there and tidied up the grape seeds.

Vincent's lips twitched. When he saw Nicole, he whispered, "Nicole, are you feeling better?"

"I told you to get lost. Didn't you hear me?"

Samuel suddenly raised his voice.

The atmosphere turned explosive.

Vincent looked around and saw they were surrounded by Samuel's men. He took a deep breath and said, "I can go, but you have to give me an explanation. Why do you suddenly dismiss me from all my positions in Eternal Group? After all, I am the president of the Group, right? Do you regret giving the company to me? So you are going to take it back by force?"

Nicole was shocked.

Did Samuel take back Eternal Group?

Why?

She had been thinking that Samuel had a sense of guilt towards Vincent, and he give in to him in everything. Last time, Samuel knew that his drug addiction had something to do with Vincent, but he did not confront Vincent. He even pretended that he knew nothing about it.

Why did he suddenly get fierce with Vincent?

Nicole felt that something was slowly changing, but she didn't know what exactly it was.

Samuel looked at Vincent and sneered, "When Eternal Group was handed over to me, it was only an empty shell. Now that I have developed it into a big company, I want to take it back. Do you have any objections?"

"You!"

Vincent did not expect Samuel to say this, nor did he expect him to do this to him. He felt that something was wrong, but he could not figure out what it exactly was.

He clenched his fists tightly, but he did not have the courage to confront Samuel. In the end, he angrily turned to leave.

Nicole wanted to hold Samuel's hand, but Samuel turned around as if nothing had happened. He smiled and said to her, "When you have time, give this to Olivia as her wedding gift from us."

"Alright."

"Let's go home. You need to rest. You can't stay out for too long."

Samuel asked for Nicole's opinion.

Nicole nodded.

When he carried Nicole into the car, she couldn't help but ask.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

"But..."

"Are we going home? Or is there any place you want to go? Your health doesn't allow you to stay in a noisy place."

Samuel changed the topic.

Nicole dropped the idea of asking about Vincent.

Perhaps, Samuel knew what to do.

"Let's go home. I feel tired from the trip."

Nicole said indifferently.

"There's nothing I can't say. I used to be selfish."

Samuel started to explain.

"The Greens have been merchants for a century, but my grandfather had a passion for serving the country. Unfortunately, his health didn't allow him to do that, so he wished my father and uncle could join the army."

"Father passed the physical examination in the conscription but when he was going to join the army, he suddenly had a high fever. Therefore my uncle had to replace my father and went to the military command. Later he was said to have sacrificed his life for the country, but his body was not found. Some said he was still alive, some said he had died. The Greens had sent many people out to look for him in vain. Later on, before my grandfather passed away, he left his last words that the Greens had to offer unconditionally whatever the country needed, which my father followed strictly.

"When my father was fifty years old, the country's scientific research projects made great progress. However, there was a lack of funds. After my father knew about it, he came back to discuss with my mother and donated eighty percent of the Greens' properties."

"Did he?"

Nicole was surprised.

The Greens had been merchants for a century. Eight percent of their properties were an enormous amount of money. The Green family just gave it away like that?

Samuel nodded.

"Yes, he did. At that time, I was doing well in the military command, and I had the potentials to get promoted to Capital City. However, I received a mission to go to Bordeaux to crack down on drug trafficking, and take the opportunity to retire from military service."

"Why?"

Nicole couldn't understand.

Samuel held her hand and said with a smile, "There is no why in the military command, only obedience. The duty of a soldier is to obey, to obey without questions. Later, I found out that it was because of my talent in design. I accidentally designed a combat vehicle according to the battle plan in the military command. The higher-ups attach great importance to it, but the scientific and technological level of our country is not high enough to produce some of the exquisite parts, therefore the project is shelved for the time being. However, the design was a state secret, which is forbidden to spread out. I didn't know what was going on in the military command, but the military released me from military service with the design drawing and gave me a military authorization contract. That is to say, once the military is in need, with the contract, I can cooperate with them. Many people covet the military support, not to mention the benefits from the project."

It dawned on Nicole.

"Does Vincent want the authorization contract and your design?"

"Yes! I trusted them to Mr. Bates. However, Vincent somehow ganged up with Kemp, and they worked together to frame you for the purpose of threatening me to surrender the contract together with the design."

As Nicole listened, she got worried.

"In City A, what did you agree to give Kemp of Dungeon? I seemed to hear Satan King say I needed many medical ingredients, which were only available in Dungeon. The surgery went well and I am able to stand here because you went to Dungeon and got those ingredients, right? Kemp and Vincent had designed a big trap in order to get the contract from you. If you didn't agree to give it to them, they would not have allowed you to save me. So did you surrender the state secrets for the sake of me?"

Nicole suddenly felt guilty.

If this was true, how could she face Samuel?

It upset Samuel to see her so nervous.

"Why are you so different from others? I'm your husband. Isn't it natural for me to save you? Why do you always react out of my expectation?"

"You are a soldier! Even if you've retired from military service, you are still a soldier! Besides, the military gave the authorization contract to you, not someone else. If you give this contract to someone else, the children and I will be miserable if the military holds you accountable. If that's the case, I'd rather die. I don't want to be a burden to you, nor do I want to be the reason that you betray the military. If you do that, I will be condemned even if I die!"

As she spoke, Samuel held her hand tightly...
