"Who did you see?"
Seeing Nicole frowning, Samuel couldn't help but ask.
Nicole hastily gestured, "Karina. I saw Karina! But she is gone after I am here."
"Karina?"
Samuel was somewhat surprised.
Ever since Bruce died, Samuel did not care about other people who were related to him anymore. Now that he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Nicole gesturing Karina.
Nicole nodded.
"Why is Karina here? Well, her house is nearby. It's normal for her to be here. But why are you chasing after?"
Nicole instantly froze.
What did she want to do?
She didn't know.
When she saw Karina, she subconsciously chased after her. Perhaps in Nicole's heart, she still wanted to do something for Bruce.
"Alright, whether we will meet her or not depends on the destiny. We have to move. If we park the car there, it will block the traffic. Let's go."
Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole hesitated for a moment. She nodded and walked back with Samuel.
As they passed by an alley, Nicole suddenly heard a cry for help. That voice sounded very familiar.
Samuel also heard it.
They exchanged glances and quickly ran towards the voice.
At the end of the alley, four or five men were kicking and punching around a little girl.
Nicole saw that the little girl was Karina!
"Stop!"
Samuel shouted angrily.
The four men turned around and paused when they saw Nicole and Samuel. Then, one of the man said fiercely, "Get lost! Don't meddle in other people's affair. Otherwise I guarantee that you won't be able to leave this place!"
Nicole angrily kicked him directly. She kicked the man in the chest.
When the others saw Nicole beating the man, they shouted and scolded as they walked towards Nicole.
Karina was stunned when she saw Nicole and Samuel, but when she saw them pestering these men, she quickly got up and ran away.
Nicole wanted to stop her, but she was caught by someone.
Samuel quickly beat down two of them.
Samuel and Nicole knocked down the four men shortly. Just as they were about to ask why they wanted to hit Karina, one of the man said, "Please spare us! We didn't do it on purpose. It was that little girl who stole our things, and she did it again and again. We were furious."
Stealing?
Nicole was surprised when she heard it.
Samuel was also puzzled.
"Be clearer on it. What can a little girl steal?"
"She stole alluvial gold. Although it wasn't valuable, we bought it in low price. This little girl stole it time after time. We were pissed off."
Hearing what the man said, Nicole and Samuel were silent.
"You can't talk nonsense just because she isn't here. What if I figure out that you're lying to me...?"
"No, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask around. Everyone nearby knows that this little girl steals everything. Everyone is furious. But she is an orphan. She steals things and sells them. After she sells them, she will buy food. We can't get things back, so what we can do is to beat her up to vent our anger."
Hearing what the man said, Samuel and Nicole looked at each other and asked, "Do you know where she lives?"
"She doesn't have a certain residence. But if you go to the Cemetery of Martyrs not far away from here, you might be able to find her."
Hearing the man's word, Samuel and Nicole let go of the man.
"How much is the thing she stole worth?"
Nicole gestured, and Samuel translated.
The four men looked at them and one of them whispered, "It doesn't cost much. Just a few hundred euros."
"Here's a thousand. We'll pay it for her."
Samuel gave the cash to the man and let them go.
He looked at Nicole and asked, "Are we going to look for Karina now?"
Nicole nodded and gestured embarrassedly, "If I don't solve this problem, I don't have the mood to continue travelling."
"I'll listen to you!"
Samuel touched Nicole's head and said with a smile, "But we have to move the car to the side, otherwise our car will be towed away."
"Alright."
Nicole waited for Samuel on the spot. Samuel went and drove over.
They followed the man's instructions and drove directly to the Cemetery of Martyrs.
It was evening. Very few people would stay at the cemetery. They all went home in groups of two and three.
After Nicole and Samuel got off the car, they walked up the stairs. They could guess where Karina would go.
Samuel was even sadder.
"Three more floors and we'll reach Vincent's cemetery. I haven't been here in five years."
Nicole was heavy of heart as well.
If Vincent hadn't abandoned himself to help Mark enter the criminal gang, perhaps Mark would have been in danger. Because of his kindness to the Don family, Nicole felt that she should come over to go visit his grave.
When they arrived at Vincent's tombstone, they saw Karina here.
Karina was somewhat surprised by their arrival, but she quickly looked down.
Flowers and wine were placed in front of Vincent's tomb, as well as some fresh fruits, as if they had just been bought.
Nicole's eyes suddenly turned red.
