Samuel was speechless.
What was more depressing than having worked so hard for so many years, but only paving way for others?
What’s more, this person was also the closest person he ever thought, and even his mother protected him inexplicably.
He did not understand that even if his mother didn’t like Nicole, Lucas was her grandson after all. Why was his mother so calm and indifferent to Lucas’ disappearance?
In Samuel’s memory, his mother was not a cold-blooded and merciless person. But why was all this?
It seemed that only Zama could give him an answer. But Zama had disappeared and Samuel could find no clues as to the whereabouts of her.
Suddenly, everything seemed to have lost all the clues.
On the surface, the fire five years ago seemed to have been ordered by Riley. There might even be Swift’s advice and Zac’s execution. But now, it seemed that the truth was far more than what Samuel saw on the surface.
Zac was brought back from the orphanage by Samuel when he was a child. Samuel trained with him and they grew up together. They were like brothers. Zac had never disobeyed Samuel. But why did he betray Samuel in Nicole’s affairs?
Samuel remembered when Zac was with him, Zama would make Zac and Petty something to eat sometimes.
At that time, Samuel only thought that Zama was kind-hearted and could treat orphans so kindly. But now, when he thought about it, Samuel guessed that Zama was courting them by this way.
Maybe from the beginning, Zac and Petty were roped in by Zama.
What Samuel didn’t understand was that five years ago, Zama was very satisfied with Nicole, and she was also very good to her. If the fire of Nicole was really caused by Zama, why? What was the motivation?
Samuel couldn’t figure out this, so he had never suspected Zama. However, he didn’t expect that this gave Zama a chance to take Lucas away under his nose.
Hearing Samuel’s words, Jason frowned tightly.
“Zac is really a stubborn man. In the Don Family, he didn’t disclose a word after so many punishments. If it wasn’t for Petty, maybe he wouldn’t show any flaws. Do you mean that the fire five years ago was set by Zac and ordered by Riley?”
“At present, this is the case. But I don’t think it will be so simple. Riley had already escaped from the detention center, and even took Lucas and Joseph away. If she wanted to leave the Seapolis City, she could make it by using either of them as a threat. But she did not do it. Why? What was she waiting for? Or who didn’t let her leave the Seapolis City? When Joseph escaped and Lucas’ whereabouts were unknown, she should be capable to sneak out of the Seapolis City, but she was dead. She died so inexplicable and abrupt. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
Samuel took out the cigarette, just smelled it, and then put it on the ear.
Seeing that he was so restrained, Jason knew him more.
“Maybe she was just tainted with that kind of thing to cause her accidental death?”
Hearing Jason’s words, Samuel shook his head and said, “Do you know? I deliberately asked people to send news to Riley, saying that Joseph was ill. Swift visited Riley at that time and gave her a bottle of medicine. She said that it was a drug that could make Riley mentally disordered temporarily. The next day, there would be a doctor to treat her. But do you know what kind of medicine was that?”
“What medicine?”
“Poison! The poison that will kill you as long as you touch it.”
Samuel’s words made Jason suddenly change his face.
“How could it be?”
“Yes, how could it be? Swift has been widowed for so many years, and Riley is her only daughter. Moreover, she places all her hopes on Riley. She hopes that Riley can become my wife, so that the George Family can go up to a higher level and keep her glory and wealth for the rest of her life. Under such circumstances, how could she kill her own daughter?”
Samuel said faintly.
Jason was so clever that he immediately understood what Samuel meant.
“Do you mean that Swift was made use of by someone, and maybe she didn’t even know that there was something wrong with that bottle of medicine?”
“Most likely. If it were not for that Riley still had a little conscience at that time and worried about Joseph and escaped from the detention center, maybe she would have died there at that time. But Riley not only escaped, but also took Lucas and Joseph, and even planned to make use of Lucas to retaliate Nicole. But when Nicole arrived here, the building was empty. Don’t you think it’s strange? Will a woman who wishes you die give up the chance of revenge? Will she be softhearted temporally and let go of Nicole? Do you think it’s possible?”
After listening to Samuel’s another question, Jason frowned deeper.
He never knew that there were so many questions about these things. With the death of Riley and the disappearance of Lucas and Nicole, there seemed to be no clue.
“Doesn’t Joseph know anything?”
Samuel shook his head.
“Joseph is just a child. Besides, Riley had been indifferent to him in recent years, but she had never beaten him like that. So, it was a very heavy blow for Joseph. Without Lucas, Joseph might not be what he is now and no one knows what he will become. The harm from his own mother is a shadow of his whole life. After he came back, he had nightmares and cried every night. I can’t ask what happened in those days, but Joseph has changed. He doesn’t talk about Riley any more. He doesn’t even care about Riley’s death, but he is only a four-year-old boy after all! The impact and shadow of that incident on him can only fade away with the passage of time. I only hope that he is OK. Then, I don’t let Vincent down.”
Samuel sighed.
Jason was suddenly shocked.
“Joseph is Vincent’s son?”
“Yes!”
After telling the secret that had been hidden for so many years, Samuel suddenly felt relieved. Although he was still anxious, he could relax for a moment.
Over the years, he had never regretted regarding Joseph as his son. But he felt guilty that Nicole and her children had suffered too much because of this. Now, before he could make up for it, they were attacked by others again. How could he live well?
Others might not know Vincent, but Jason knew him. That case was handled by Jason.
As an informer, Vincent was eventually killed by others. Jason could remember the scene clearly. Every time he thought of Vincent, he was awed.
Vincent was a man, was a hero, and was a man who was most respectable in his life!
Jason didn’t expect that Vincent would have a son.
Thinking of the relationship between Riley and Joseph, Jason understood.
“No wonder you are so good to Riley. It’s because of Vincent. You’ve been slandered in the back by others for so many years. Why don’t you explain all?”
“All I need to be worthy of is my wife and Vincent. I don’t care what others will say.”
Samuel had never lived for the sake of other people’s words.
Jason understood it completely now.
Looking at the man in front of him, Jason suddenly admired him.
“I will help you find Miss Nicole and Lucas. You can rest assured to stay in American these days. No matter how many people in the Green Family are Zama’s, they can’t deal with our Don Family. Don’t worry.”
“Please!”
Samuel patted Jason deeply, as if he had entrusted all his life to him.
This was a kind of trust between men and was a commitment between comrades in arms. Although the two men have never fought side by side, they had also been soldiers, and they also knew the significance of such a commitment.
Jason suddenly felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was much heavier, but he felt a little cheerful as if he had a confidante.
“Don’t worry. I can find out even if there is no clue. If there is no other way, I’ll start from the hospital where Miss Nicole was born. Since you said that Miss Nicole was raised by the couple of the Bush Family , and the couple of the Bush Family have always believed that Miss Nicole is their own daughter, there is only one possibility. Miss Nicole was replaced in the hospital when she was born, or that they had the wrong child. As long as I look for the mothers who gave birth together with Nicole’s mother, there may be clues. Although it is no connection and help with Miss Nicole’s disappearance, we can only start from here.”
“Yes. it’s not convenient for the Green Family to interfere in this matter. First, I don’t know who is the enemy of the Green Family. Second, Nicole’s identity has not been fully publicized, and her relationship with the Bush Family is not suitable for announcing now. Thirdly, I am in American. I’m afraid I can’t come back to protect Nicole’s parents in time if there is something wrong with them. So…”
“I know. I will protect Nicole’s parents.”
Jason shouldered all things.
“Thank you more than I can say!”
Samuel didn’t know what to say.
Two men looked at each other and smiled. Their emotion was revealed and no more words were needed.
“Petty is not the Don Family’s child, is there any other clue?”
Samuel knew that Jason’s mother was ill because of this, so he asked casually.
Jason shook his head and said, “This incident was groundless at the beginning. It was Zac who told my mother that my eldest brother had a posthumous child in the world at that time. Now that Zac was dead and Petty was not the Don Family’s child, perhaps there was no the Don Family’s illegitimate son at all. Everything is just a bait, an excuse to get the Don Family involved in this thing to make a shield for them. But my mother may be unable to accept it for a while. It will get better gradually. Don’t worry. ”
Jason finished with a bitter smile.
Originally, they thought that the Don Family still had children. But now, it seemed that it was just a hoax. No one would be in a good mood.
At this time, a red Ferrari suddenly stopped in front of Samuel and Jason.
Tim got off the car and said in a hurry, “I have news about Catherine.”
