Chapter 195 Damn It, I Fell for It!

Wait a little longer?

If she refused to take him to see Nicholas because Nicholas hadn't accepted him yet, of course he could wait, but...

Samuel pressed his lips together and fell silent for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Nora, are you hiding something from me?"

"No!"

Nora didn't know why he would suddenly ask such a question. The color drained rapidly from her face, and her breathing became a bit rapid.

"Samuel, don't overthink it! I have no secrets from you."

Really?

Samuel looked at her deeply, wanting to ask her - if that was true, why wouldn't she let him know that Nicholas and Mia were in danger?

But just as he was about to speak, he controlled his emotions.

"Alright, don't be nervous. I trust you. You wouldn't deliberately deceive me."

After pressing his lips together, he stood up and walked to Nora's side, gently rubbing her head.

"But I still want to remind you of something. Nora, I'll always be your safe harbor. If you run into something you can't handle, you can tell me anytime."

"I promise you, no matter who your enemy is, I'll choose to help you without hesitation."

Really?

Even if helping her would cost him everything he had now, he wouldn't regret it?

Nora stared at Samuel blankly. After a moment, she coughed a few times nervously and turned her head away from Samuel's gaze.

"Okay, I'll remember what you said. Now go to the company. It's a workday, you're the boss, you need to set an example for the employees. You can't skip work."

"As for me, you don't need to make special time to keep me company."

"My body hasn't fully recovered yet, I keep getting sleepy. After you go to the company, I'll go back to my room and sleep! If you're worried about me, you can have the butler watch me."

Sleepy?

What a terrible excuse.

Samuel almost laughed, instinctively wanting to probe her a few more times, to guide her into telling him about Mia and Nicholas's current situation.

But before he could speak, his phone vibrated a few times.

"Nora, I have some work to handle. I need to go. Be good and wait for me at home."

Samuel took out his phone and glanced at it. His eyes instantly filled with cold light.

"What's wrong?"

Nora keenly sensed Samuel's emotional change, and her intuition told her that Samuel's sudden anger had a lot to do with him.

So she instinctively grabbed Samuel's arm, wanting to ask what he had just seen on his phone screen.

But Samuel didn't give her a chance to speak.

"Nora, remember what I told you earlier. You can depend on me, anytime."

After leaving these words, Samuel stood up directly and, with Kevin standing at the villa entrance, left without looking back.

"Depend on you? No, Samuel, it seems you still don't understand me well enough. Rather than depending on you, I'd rather depend on myself."

Nora squinted at his retreating figure. After a long while, she slowly stood up, went to the garage to pick a car, and drove at top speed toward an abandoned factory in the suburbs.

...

"Anyway, that's the situation! I'm near Vivian now. From her actions, it seems she wants to hide it from Nora and go find your father alone."

"Samuel, what should we do next?"

Behind a large tree near Samuel's villa.

Samuel was on the phone with Matthew.

Matthew's breathing was rapid, seeming somewhat anxious.

"Samuel, your father is not a good person. Honestly, I don't want Vivian to have contact with him."

"I don't want Nora near Sebastian either, but unfortunately, Nora doesn't trust me enough. I hinted at it several times just now, but she still wouldn't tell me about Mia and Nicholas's current situation."

Samuel sat in the back seat of the Maybach, watching Nora drive away from his villa while pinching the bridge of his nose, telling Matthew word by word.

"Alright, since Nora and Vivian are determined, let's stick to the original plan and protect them from the shadows. Oh, by the way, let me remind you - Reginald can be lost, but Vivian can't get hurt."

"Don't worry, no one can hurt the people I care about under my watch."

Matthew snorted softly, and after saying this, hung up directly.

"Mr. Green, what do we do now?"

Kevin had been sitting in the driver's seat. Seeing Samuel finish his call, he immediately gripped the steering wheel and looked at Samuel through the rearview mirror.

"Drive. Follow Nora."

Samuel pressed his lips together and looked up again in the direction Nora had left.

"Notify the bodyguards to stay alert. We have a tough battle ahead today."

"Yes."

Kevin perked up and immediately started the car.

...

"Mr. Green, long time no see."

At ten o'clock in the morning, Vivian's car stopped at the dock right on time.

As soon as she got out, Vivian noticed a speedboat docked there, with Sebastian standing in front of it.

Vivian's eyes darkened. After a moment of silence, she ordered her bodyguards to drag Reginald, whose body was covered in scars, out of her car.

"I brought the person you wanted. Shouldn't you keep your promise now?"

"Reginald? Damn it, what did you do to Reginald?"

Sebastian glanced at Reginald, who was thrown on the ground by the Grays' bodyguards, his eyes full of hatred.

"Your son tried to assault Nora. Samuel taught him a lesson."

Vivian crossed her arms and stepped on Reginald's head.

"Don't worry, he's not dead yet."

"Bitch, let him go!"

Sebastian's eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at her foot.

"You want me to let him go? Sure. First, release Nicholas and Mia."

"Fine, very well. You're ruthless!"

Sebastian clutched his chest and took several heavy breaths, reluctantly taking out his phone to make a call.

"I've seen Reginald. Hand over that old man and Mia to Nora."

He said this into the phone, then looked up at Vivian.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Wait, I need to verify you're not lying."

Vivian raised an eyebrow and took out her phone to contact Nora.

But at that moment, an accident suddenly occurred.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several gunshots suddenly rang in Vivian's ears.

"Lady Vivian, watch out!"

Hearing the gunshots, the Grays' bodyguards instantly lost interest in watching Reginald's fate and instinctively rushed to Vivian's side, pulling her behind a car.

"Save him!"

This was the moment Sebastian had been waiting for. As soon as Vivian and her people retreated, Sebastian led his men to pick up Reginald from the ground and ran toward the speedboat.
