Chapter 191: I Want to See Mr. Green

"The Carter family's servants include my people. As soon as something happened to Reginald, I got the news."

Emily took off her sunglasses and mask, looking at Sebastian with a serious expression.

"Mr. Green, you look terrible. If I'm not mistaken, you went to see Samuel but didn't get what you wanted."

"Yes, that bastard Samuel refuses to let Reginald go."

Sebastian bit his lower lip, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

"I can help you."

Emily had been waiting for him to say this.

As soon as Sebastian finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Mr. Green, I have a way to help you successfully rescue Reginald, but I need you to promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

Sebastian's eyes flickered. After hesitating for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Emily's face.

"After everything is over, I want you to give me one billion, then create new identities for me and my parents and send us out of the country."

Emily took a deep breath, a twisted smile on her lips.

"Don't worry, in the process of rescuing Reginald, I'll send Samuel a gift that will deal him a heavy blow. If nothing goes wrong, Samuel probably won't have the energy to compete with you for Bright Capital in the short term."

"Oh?"

Sebastian immediately became interested.

"Tell me, what are you planning to do?"

"We can do this..."

Emily licked her lips, leaned close to his ear, and spoke to Sebastian in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"That's actually not a bad plan..."

After hearing her words, Sebastian stroked his chin and fell into thought.

...

"Nora, something terrible has happened."

Time flew by, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.

At eight in the morning, just after Nora had seen Samuel and Kevin, who came to pick up Samuel for work, out of the Green family villa, she received a call from Vivian.

On the phone, Vivian was so anxious she was almost crying.

"Nora, the bodyguards I left with Grandpa Brooks and Mia said that an hour ago, Grandpa Brooks and Mia were kidnapped. I've already sent people to look for them, but until now, I haven't received any valuable clues. What should we do now?"

What? Nicholas and Mia were in trouble.

Nora stumbled, quickly steadying herself against the nearby wall, breathing deeply, trying to stay calm.

"Do Matthew and Samuel know about this?"

After more than a minute, her rationality barely returned.

Nora pinched the bridge of her nose and asked Vivian in a hoarse voice.

"Also, did you call the police?"

"Matthew and the others probably haven't received the news yet."

Vivian laughed bitterly, her tone very heavy.

"Before, I let Matthew protect Mia, but when Mia was kidnapped by Samuel's parents, Matthew's bodyguards went missing. Since then, I haven't allowed Matthew and Samuel's bodyguards near Mia and Grandpa Brooks anymore."

"As for the police... my bodyguards told me that the kidnappers left a note demanding we not call the police. If we do, they'll kill Mia and Grandpa Brooks."

"So I don't dare go to the police."

The kidnappers left a note?

It seems Mia and Nicholas's sudden kidnapping wasn't an accident.

Nora bit down hard on her tongue until she tasted blood, then forced out a sentence.

"Vivian, the kidnappers demanding we not call the police means they want to use Mia and Nicholas to negotiate with us. Here's what we'll do - from now on, keep your phone on."

"If the kidnappers contact you, contact me immediately."

"Similarly, if I hear from the kidnappers, I'll tell you right away. Also... Vivian, I need you to promise me not to tell Samuel about Mia and Nicholas's disappearance for now."

At this point, Nora paused, terrible waves churning in her eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who kidnapped Mia and Nicholas should be Samuel's father. If we alert Samuel now, Samuel's father might lose control emotionally and hurt Nicholas or Mia."

"Okay, I understand what you mean."

Vivian had always trusted Nora unconditionally. After hearing Nora's words, she immediately took a deep breath on the other end of the phone.

"Nora, don't worry, I'll definitely keep my mouth shut."

"Vivian, thank you."

Nora pinched the bridge of her nose before hanging up and walking over to Samuel's butler.

"Butler, do you have Samuel's father's contact information? I want to meet with Mr. Green. Oh, and please don't tell Samuel about this, okay?"

"You want to see Mr. Green's father?"

When Nora approached, the butler was wiping a vase. Upon learning what Nora wanted to do, his hands shook violently, nearly dropping the antique vase.

"Ms. Brooks, I can help you arrange a meeting with Mr. Green's father, but... before that, I must ask Mr. Green's permission."

After a long while, the butler finally composed himself and gave Nora an awkward smile.

"I hope you can understand - I'm doing this to protect you. You know that Mr. Green's father doesn't like you, right?"

"If you get hurt during your meeting with Mr. Green's father, I won't be able to answer to Mr. Green."

Indeed, getting Samuel's people to help her deceive Samuel wasn't easy.

Nora stared at the butler for a while, then suddenly gave him a gentle smile.

"Butler, I understand your concerns, but I have my own plan."

"I love Samuel very much, and I don't want Samuel to completely fall out with his parents because of me. So I must meet with his father without Samuel knowing."

"I want to know what I need to do to get Samuel's father to accept me."

"If I can improve the relationship between Samuel and his father through my own efforts, then Samuel can suffer much less."

"Anyway, butler, please, can you help me?"

"If you're worried about me being in danger, you can have bodyguards protect me secretly when I meet with Samuel's father."

Well...

The butler walked around Nora several times holding the vase, and finally softened.

"Alright, Ms. Brooks, I agree to your suggestion. Wait here, I'll contact Mr. Green's father for you right now."

...

"Ms. Brooks, long time no see."

Two hours later, in a private room at a three-Michelin-star restaurant, Sebastian held a wine glass, looking at Nora sitting across from him with a half-smile.

"You asked me out - do you have something important to ask me?"
