"Miss Maia, stop your lies. Mrs. Green already said that the treasures here are priceless."
"That was nonsense. She didn't give me any treasures at all."
Maia frowned.
"Doesn't Uncle Jase believe me?"
"I don't know about this. If you don't want to give the treasures to me, please come with me and tell Mr. Jase in person. Or I will be punished for not finishing my task."
Maia's expression turned cold because of his words.
"I am telling you, Uncle Jase treats me like his daughter. If you dare to hurt me, I will surely tell him. Besides, my boyfriend isn't awake yet, so I can't leave. You can go back and tell Uncle Jase that Nicole didn't leave anything here."
After Maia finished speaking, she came to Tim's bed.
The man snorted coldly, "Maia, do you think you can boss me? If it weren't for the sake of your parents, Mr. Jase would never even look at you. You should know who you are. You know best how Mr. Jase treated you earlier. Let me tell you clearly. Mrs. Green took two priceless emeralds from Mr. Jase. She said that they are here. You'd better take them out. Don't cause trouble for Mr. Jase."
Maia was so angry that she trembled.
"For the sake of my parents? Is that true? If so, would he treat me like this? Would he treat my boyfriend like this? I know those people in the parking lot were sent by Jase, right? Why must you hurt my boyfriend?"
"I'm not sure. It's better for you to ask Mr. Jase in person. I'm repeating again. Hand in the things, or else you must come with me."
"What if I don't?"
Maia asked angrily.
The man sneered and said, "It's okay if you don't come with me. I'll take you away anyway."
"What are you doing? I'm warning you not to act recklessly! My boyfriend is strong. If he wakes up and finds out you caught me, he would...!"
Maia retreated, but in the end, she could not escape. After struggling with all her might, she was taken away.
Almost at the same time, Nicole heard the news.
"Mrs. Green, Miss Maia was taken away by a man."
"How about Tim?"
"Nobody is taking care of him."
Nicole's expression changed.
Seeing that Nicole's expression was gloomy after getting the phone call, Jase vaguely guessed about the reason.
Nicole glanced at Jase and said in a low voice on the phone, "Hire a reliable nurse. I'll be back in a moment."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Nicole looked at Jase meaningfully and said, "Mr. Jase, your people went to find Maia?"
"No. Why would I?"
Jase directly denied.
Nicole sneered and said, "Mr. Jase, Maia is my employee. It's okay if you want the treasures, but don't hurt her. Or..."
"Why would I hurt Maia? She is my niece! You are joking, right?"
"Oh. What about her boyfriend?"
Hearing this, Jase paused for a moment.
"Mrs. Green, is her boyfriend also your friend?"
"He is my brother."
Samuel said faintly.
Jase frowned slightly and said, "I don't know. I just wanted to warn him and let him be restrained. He should stay away from Maia. After all, she is very innocent."
"I don't know if Maia is innocent or not. But I know Tim is. Mr. Jase, if something happens to Tim here again, I can't let it go easily."
Nicole smiled. But Jase could tell she was extremely serious.
"Since you say so, I won't hurt him anymore."
"Thank you, Mr. Jase. I'll take all the remaining stones. No matter what I get from the stones, I'll give them all to you."
Jase was shocked by Nicole's words.
He had never seen such a forthright person like Nicole.
"Mrs. Green, are you serious?"
"That's my promise as long as Tim is well."
"Good. I won't hurt him definitely."
Jase happily went to cut the stones.
Samuel shook his head and said, "Why would you give him so much money? I am not that rich!"
"There are no precious things from these stones."
Nicole's words stunned Samuel.
"You know about distinguishing the stones?"
"Just a little bit. These materials look like high-quality stones, but according to the color and cracks, they are not very worthy. An emerald is the best result. Don't worry, I have calculated. These stones won't cost more than 10 million. But in the future, Tim will definitely give us more than 10 million in business because of this favor."
Samuel immediately laughed.
"You are becoming more and more proficient in business now!"
"I learned the skills from you!"
Nicole smiled faintly, but there was a trace of worry on her face.
"What do you mean?"
Nicole was a little surprised.
Samuel whispered, "Lucas previously got the list of the participants who were in Maia's parents' task. That included Jase. The task was said that Maia's parents took three million to trade with the drug lord. However, her parents died later. Although the drug lord was arrested, he said that he had never seen the money. The higher-ups had been investigating this matter, so that Maia's parents were not in Martyrs' Cemetery. This matter had a great impact on Maia. Maybe Tim angered Jase because he wanted to investigate this thing."
"You let Lucas hack again...?"
Nicole was so angry that she blurted out, but she didn't dare to finish her sentence.
"Samuel, you must discipline your son. Something will happen sooner or later if he keeps doing this. There must be people more skilled in computer. I don't want him to cause trouble with his computer skills! Can't we live a peaceful life?"
Nicole was scared.
What kind of place was that?
Lucas might not know how illegal the deed was to steal such a secret information. But Samuel must know!
Seeing that Nicole was furious, Samuel quickly comforted her, "It's fine. I've already wiped away the traces. No one will discover it. Don't worry. In the future, I'll watch Lucas and won't let him do these dangerous things, okay?"
"Okay? What do you mean? I admit that Lucas has indeed helped us for several times, but we can handle our things by our own! That's our son! He's my treasure who was born after endless hardships and tribulations! If anything happens to him, I would not be at ease!"
Samuel felt somehow sorry by Nicole's anxiety.
He held her in his arms and said softly, "It's my fault. I promise to discipline Lucas well in the future."
"You two really worry me a lot."
When Nicole heard what Samuel said, her anger had already dissipated a half.
Seeing Nicole feeling better, Samuel said carefully, "My queen, can we leave for the hospital now?"
Nicole was amused by Samuel's address and serious look.
"Who is your queen?"
"You! You are my queen. I am always obedient hearing your instruction."
Nicole burst out laughter by his words…
"Scram, I don't want to be your queen. I'm exhausted."
"Then how about being my princess?"
"Samuel, start the car!"
Nicole glared at Samuel coquettishly.
"Alright."
When Samuel heard Nicole's order, he stepped on the accelerator. But just at this moment, a person suddenly jumped in front of the car. Samuel instantly stepped on the brake.
The sound of tires rubbing against the ground was harsh and terrifying.
