Chapter 13 Don’t Ask What You Shouldn’t Ask

After Nicole left the Eternal Group, she hurriedly found a drugstore and bought some ice and anti-inflammatory drug. Then she went back home.

It was lucky that Lucas went to the kindergarten with Olivia, otherwise, if her son saw her like this, god knows what he would ask.

Sometimes Nicole was thankful to the God, bringing her such an angel like Lucas during her most desperate time. Though he was young, yet he cared about her in every way.

Thinking of her son, Nicole's expression alleviated a lot.

When she reached home, she applied the ice to her face. She couldn't help narrowing her eyes with the cold feeling.

Why hadn't Riley become Ms. Green?

She was a person who had rendered outstanding service if she gave birth to a son for Samuel. Besides, Samuel had feeling for her. He would kill his wife for her, wouldn't he? But why hadn't he married her?

Nicole couldn't figure this out. She believed that she needed to investigate into this. Yet, she was not going to forgive Riley easily for slamming her in the face today. Since Samuel was dying to cooperate with the H`J Group, he would definitely ask Riley to apologize. By then, even if Samuel was in front of her, she could still give a slam back in return. After all, she was not his wife anymore.

The Nicole Bush five years ago had already died in that fire.

Nicole could still feel the scorching hotness and pain as fire burning on her skin. It was so painful that she wished to end herself. It was so heartbreaking and extremely desperate. She would not forget that feeling even if she went to the hell.

And she would not forgive anyone who had given her this pain!

Nicole went to her bedroom with half of the face covered. She didn't tell this to the head office. She just fell asleep while lying on the bed.

Jacob soon found out Riley's address and when he sent the address to Samuel, the latter's eyes narrowed again.

It was the place where Olivia lived!

He could still remember that Olivia was Nicole's best friend.

Catherine, she not only had the same real name as Nicole Bush, but also lived in the place where Nicole's best friend lived. Was there really nothing wrong?

Or she was Nicole Bush?

Samuel clenched his fists unconsciously as he thought of this possibility.

"Go investigate. No matter in what means, I need to know all the information about Catherine, especially her information five years ago."

Jacob was stunned by Samuel's words.

"Mr. Green, Catherine's information is very classified in America. We might not be able to find too much. Plus, someone has done the investigation before and no results are found."

"Then do it with underground ways."

Again, Jacob was surprised by what Samuel said.

Jacob knew what the underground ways were better than anyone else, but Samuel had not used those ways for many years. Unexpectedly, he would use them for Catherine. Jacob inevitably felt curious.

"Mr. Green, what exactly is the problem with Catherine?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Samuel's warning made Jacob shrink.

"Okay. I will do it now."

After Jacob left, Samuel lighted a cigarette.

He hadn't smoked for a long long time, but today he desperately needed some nicotine to relieve his agitated emotion.

A different face, but the exact same figure and pace. Even her friends were the same. Was it really a coincidence?

But if she really was Nicole Bush, why didn't she tell him? He still remembered how much she loved him five years ago.

What happened five years ago?

It was rumored online that Nicole died from a fire when dating her secret lover. When Samuel heard the news, he didn't buy it at all. A woman that loved him so much, how would she turn to love another person so quietly? However, the two bodyguards went missing and Nicole's remains disappeared. Nobody knew what happened back then.

He could still remember that Nicole was pregnant five years ago. It was their child, who probably also died in the fire.

Samuel put wrinkles in his brows tightly. The cigarette flickered. It didn't take long for it to scorch his fingers.

He shivered all of a sudden and quenched the cigarette hurriedly, but then he was in a daze staring at the black ashes on his finger.

He still recalled that Nicole was a woman who was so scared of pain. In the face of the rushing fire that scorched everything to ashes, how painful would she be at that time?

Samuel had no interest to continue working. He grabbed his jacket and went out of the office.

"Mr. Green, where are you going?"

"I will go out for a while. Delay all the meetings today."

With that, Samuel disappeared from the door of the office, leaving behind the shocked secretary.

This was the first time Mr. Green skipped work.

Samuel didn't care what others thought of him. He quickly drove the car directly to Olivia's place.

The ringing doorbell could be heard without an end.

Nicole woke up from the dream and was exhausted all over.

She knew it wasn't Olivia who came back. Olive had the keys and no take-out was ordered. Then who would it be here to knock the door?

Riley?

If it was her, Nicole was not planning to open the door for her so easily.
