George looked at Allen, not realizing that he had taken such a big guy in.
“This way, Mr. Brook, please!”
Allen really didn’t want to leave. He even wanted to take Nicole away right now, but he couldn’t!
Regardless of whether he could take Nicole on his own right now, even if he could, there were times when he needed to keep a low profile, and Samuel was in the United States now.
Knowing that Samuel didn’t have the heart or the energy to bid, he needed to be on his guard.
Allen gave Nicole one last look before turning away.
Nicole was aching all over, but now she didn’t care.
She was in America!
And then there was Allen!
Allen seldom came to such a place. It must be the providence of God.
The pain mitigated a bit at the thought that she could get out here and found out where her son was and visited Zoe.
The man looked at Nicole, spat and said, “You’re lucky to be liked by such a big shot. I’m telling you; you’d better pray that he does buy you tomorrow, or you’ll see what I would do to you.”
Nicole was in too much pain to speak now.
She was stuffed into a cabin by traffickers, and after being transferred to several boats did she get here. She had no idea of where she was being sold because her eyes were covered when she got off the boat.
Nicole had no idea why Zama sold her out of the country, but sooner or later she had to settle the things with Zama.
Nicole was safe for the moment, and she didn’t want to say anything to the man, so she just closed her eyes and began to have a rest.
The man thought she had fainted, said coldly, “She is really delicate. I hope tomorrow you can sell at a good price.”
The man was tired, and went back to rest. The other people were still here.
It was hell on earth.
Nicole had no idea there were such dirty places in the world without experiencing them herself.
She couldn’t help thinking about Lucas.
Where was her Lucas now?
Could it have been sold?
At the thought of this possibility, she felt a pang of stomachache, and she did not know whether Samuel found Lucas and saved him from Riley.
She had so much thought in her mind. As long as she can leave here, no matter how much she had to pay, she would not hesitate.
Nicole was distraught but unable to do anything. She was now the meat of the stack.
Soon, she passed out.
The night passed quickly.
Allen jotted down the name of the clubhouse as he came out.
If he was going to come back tomorrow to buy Nicole, he couldn’t use the company’s money, or Rachel would notice it.
Allen went back to his personal account and took out all the money, got it ready in a box.
He couldn’t sleep at all.
He had never expected that Nicole would show up in front of him in this way.
Samuel said Lucas was sick and Nicole was at home taking care of Lucas? What the hell was going on?
Allen spent the night asking for news about Nicole and finally learned that Nicole and Lucas were missing.
What a Samuel!
He came to America with everyone behind his back, just to pick up Zoe?
Allen quickly went to the hospital.
Zoe and Joseph were already asleep.
After a day of contact, Zoe and Joseph were close to each other.
When Allen arrived, Samuel gave him a watchful look and followed Allen out of the ward at random.
Just outside the ward, Allen punched Samuel in the face.
Samuel was caught off guard and his nose bled.
“Are you mad?”
Samuel didn’t fight back, but he was visibly furious. Anyone would be in a bad mood if he was it for no reasons.
Allen grabbed him by the collar and said, “Where’s Nicole? What did you do with Nicole? Samuel, Nicole has been with me for five years, and I can’t even touch her. How dare you lose her! And now you are telling me that she’s in China! How dare you lie to me!”
With that, Allen punched Samuel again.
Samuel didn’t dodge, and got hit.
The loss of Nicole and the disappearance of Lucas were a heavy blow to Samuel. If it were not for the need to save Zoe, he would never set foot on the land of the United States. Now hearing that Allen knew all the truth, he whispered, “I will find her!”
“Could you get her back? Do you know where she is? If she was sold by a human trafficker to a remote area and became the wife of a blind or disabled man, can you get her back? Could you feel how desperate she is? How could you lose her? How could you!”
Allen’s words made Samuel feel even worse.
“No! Nicole will not be treated like this!”
“How do you know? You know who kidnapped her, don’t you? Can you tell me who it is? Who is it?”
Allen couldn’t get Nicole’s bloody image out of his head.
He never thought Nicole would go through this, but when he saw it, it broke his heart.
It was his baby Nicole. Even he was reluctant to let her shed a drop of tear, but he did not expect she would encounter such a cruel treatment in China.
Who the hell was treating Nicole like this?
Allen had no place to vent his anger, and now he wanted to knock Samuel down.
Samuel was upset that his wife was being missed by other man, but this man was so devoted to Nicole that he could not see any reason to be angry because he had lost Nicole and his son.
“Samuel, you’d better keep this to yourself. Your job right now is to save Zoe, and if you let her know that Nicole and Lucas are missing, I will kill you!”
Allen knew that Samuel didn’t want to talk.
Since he didn’t want to talk about it, that meant the person was related to Samuel. With this clue, Allen was confident that he could find out who that person was.
If only he could find out, he would not let that person go!
As for Samuel, he wouldn’t tell him where Nicole was.
He had made a mistake last time he let Nicole back, and now that God had sent Nicole back, he won’t let go of her this time.
He could Lucas and Zoe back to Samuel, but he couldn’t give him Nicole!
He didn’t want a lot of things in his life, and he didn’t want a lot of people. Now his chance had come, and maybe this was his last chance.
He couldn’t afford to lose it.
Allen swallowed his words, looked at Samuel coldly and said, “I want you to swear that you will be good to Zoe and Lucas in your life. I believe that you will find Lucas, right?”
“He’s my son, and I’ll find him even if I lose all my money! And Nicole, she’s my wife. No matter what she’s been through, I’m going to find her and treat her well.”
Samuel said firmly.
Allen looked at him and said nothing. He took a step back, then a step back, and said coldly, “I heard from my grandmother that you made a deal with the Brook Family. Samuel, do you think Nicole would be happy if she knew what you did to me today?”
“It was the Brook Family who came up with this deal. I’m just returning the favor. Nicole won’t blame me!”
“Is that so? Then you are really confident!”
Allen said with a sneer, “From now on, I, Allen, have nothing to do with you, and the Brook Family and the Green Family are even. Treat your people well and don’t come to the United States again. Neither I nor the Brook Family won’t welcome you!”
“Sure!” Said Samuel weakly.
If he had known Nicole was still in America, he wouldn’t have said anything like that, but he didn’t know anything now.
Allen left, and Samuel leaned against the wall of the corridor, feeling sick and going crazy.
He wished he could be in two places, one to find Lucas and Nicole, the other to save Zoe.
It took him three days to get the match result. He was really desperate, but there was nothing he could do.
Samuel tried to bring Zoe home, but the doctor said that this was the hospital that knew Zoe’s health best for years, and that Nicole wouldn’t have left her alone in America if she had been able to make the long journey home.
Hearing this, Samuel, no matter how anxious he was, had to wait.
When Jacob’s phone rang again, Samuel was in a daze. It rang for a long time before he answered.
“Mr. Green, I got glues of Zama. I heard that she went to the chemical works in the countryside when Nicole disappeared a few days ago.”
Samuel’s eyes narrowed sharply.
Nicole went to the chemical plant as she had received a video from Riley, but when she got there, the plant was empty. Did Zama take Riley and Lucas?
Now that Riley was dead. Where the hell was Lucas?
“And then? Has Zama been to Riley’s rental house?”
“I don’t know. We haven’t found her yet!”
“What exactly did you find?”
Samuel was in a bad mood.
He was really on the verge of breaking down.
What Allen said today made him nervous.
Was Zama really going to sell Nicole to human traffickers?
The thought of it made Samuel’s heart ache even more.
“Check about recent disappearances in the Seapolis City and with special connections to check on people smuggling. I need to know if anyone is leaving the Seapolis City in these few days.”
Originally, he had not thought about it and dared not to do that, but with Allen’s reminder, Samuel had no choice but to look into it now, even if he did not want to face it.
If Nicole and Lucas were still in the Seapolis City these days, the Green Family and the Don Family as well as the Louis Family would tell him. But he hadn’t received any news now.
Now with no news about them, it was likely they were no longer in the Seapolis City.
