Seeing Samuel come out, Ernesto stepped forward immediately.
"Mr. Green, where are we going?"
"You stay here with Mrs. Green and keep her safe. Got it?"
Samuel was serious.
Ernesto paused and then nodded immediately.
After being promoted by Nicole, Ernesto was loyal to her, especially when Zac was on duty now. As Nicole's only bodyguard for the moment, Ernesto felt particularly honored.
"Mr. Green, I will protect Mrs. Green with my life."
"Thank you."
With that, Samuel left.
Samuel drove alone, and no one dared to follow him.
Samuel returned to the Green's in no minutes. A man who looked exactly like Samuel was looking for something in the study. Samuel was not sure how Lucas was doing.
The guards were confused when he saw Samuel. Didn't Mr. Green enter the house not long ago? When did he come out?
"Hurry up. Close all the doors. No one is allowed to open the door without my code. I'm going to deal with another ME."
Samuel looked stern and grim, shocking the guards who then knew that the man in front of them was the real Mr. Green.
Did it mean that the person who went inside earlier wasn't Mr. Green?
Although the guards were confused, they followed the order immediately.
Samuel drove in, got out of the car, and locked it up.
Gerry heard a sound in the study. He looked down from the French window and saw Samuel coming back.
Damn it!
Gerry hadn't found what he wanted, and he was going to bump into Samuel soon. What should he do?
Gerry thought of Lucas the next moment.
Yes!
Gerry could have a firm hold over Lucas to oppress Samuel.
What Samuel cared about the most were his children. If Gerry got Lucas on hold, he wouldn't be afraid that he couldn't get out.
Thinking of this, Gerry hurried to the door of the study room to go to Lucas. However, Gerry didn't notice that someone had splashed oil outside the study room.
As soon as Gerry got out of the door, he stepped on the oil and immediately fell to the ground.
"Alas!"
Gerry wanted to grab something, but he was a far away from the handrail.
Then Gerry heard Lucas' voice.
"Do you need any help?"
"Of course."
Gerry had a glimmer of hope at the sight of Lucas. In Gerry's opinion, Lucas was a child after all, and he might not be able to tell who Gerry was.
Gerry smiled and said, "Help Daddy up."
Lucas jeered but he still reached out to Gerry.
When Gerry held Lucas' hand and tried his best to get up, he schemed that he wouldn't let go of Lucas.
Thinking of this, Gerry looked evil.
However, before Gerry could carry out his plan, Lucas pulled Gerry, flung Gerry out over his shoulder, and kicked Gerry.
Gerry was dumbfounded.
When Gerry saw Lucas’ mocking smile in midair, he was greatly shocked. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Gerry fell onto the corridor heavily and slid forward because of the oil. There happened to be the staircase entrance.
"Oh no!"
Gerry seemed to predict something. He wanted to grab the handrail, but some barbs were there. Just as Gerry grabbed it, the barbs pierced into his palm. Gerry screamed in pain and quickly let go.
Due to the vegetable oil, Gerry fell down the stairs.
Gerry rolled all the way down the stairs on the first floor, but before he came to his senses, Samuel put his feet directly on Gerry.
"Is it fun?"
Samuel said indifferently, but Gerry trembled with fear when seeing the ruthlessness in Samuel's eyes.
"Samuel, my mission is done. I'll leave the rest to you."
Lucas had someone to clean off the vegetable oil.
Samuel made an OK gesture to Lucas.
Only then did Gerry realize that he had been set up by Samuel and Lucas.
"How is that possible? Lucas is just a child!"
Gerry couldn't stand to lose.
Gerry felt that he didn't crack, so how did he get set up?
"Alright."
Samuel would agree to all Lucas’ requests.
Lucas was smart, so Samuel didn't need to worry too much about him.
After figuring things out at home, Samuel squinted.
Nicole might not know what Elvis’ research was about, but Samuel knew that. Besides, Samuel was clear about what Gerry looked for in the Green's.
Samuel pushed open the study door and shook his head when he saw the mess on the ground.
Samuel picked up a book from the shelf and at once the shelf parted to either side, revealing a long corridor.
It was a secret chamber.
A rich family always had one or two places to hide important things. It couldn't be a safe. There must be a mechanism at home and no one but Samuel knew about it.
After Samuel walked in, the shelf closed itself.
Samuel walked along the corridor for a while and saw a square table. On the table was the tablet of Samuel's grandfather, with his father's aside.
Samuel burned incense and whispered, "Grandpa, Dad, Elvis came to me probably because of Grandpa's research data. I know why Elvis came after the Kents. It screws with three generations, so it's time to end."
With that, Samuel took out a small box behind the tablet and opened it. There were sheets of papers covered with calculation data, which would probably drive Elvis crazy.
Samuel tidied up these things and took out the last piece of paper of research data. Although it had turned yellow, Samuel knew how useful it was.
Samuel found a list in them.
There were four names on the list. Samuel didn't recognize them, but he guessed that they should be researchers.
After Samuel finished packing everything, he walked out of the secret chamber.
It was cloudy as if it was going to rain. It was just like the Green's, which was somber and was about to undergo a storm.
Samuel lit a cigarette, perturbed. No one could see Samuel's face clearly in the smoke.
After ten more minutes, Samuel's phone rang.
Samuel saw the caller ID and answered.
"Mr. Green, I want to ask you for a favor."
It turned out to be Zac.
Samuel was not surprised at all. Instead, he felt that it was a little late for Zac to call him now.
Zac seemed to be a real man.
"Zac, you should know that I have bottom lines and principles. I can forgive you before because you haven't crossed the line yet, but I can't forgive you this time. After all, Petty almost hurt Nicole and Lucas."
