Chapter 14 You’d Better Not Play Tricks with Me

The doorbell kept ringing, but Nicole seemed not to hear it. She still lay on her bed cozily, thinking about the way Riley looked like at this moment. The latter must be reluctant yet had to come to beg her.

Back then, after she escaped with bare life. The first bolt from the blue when she woke up was the insults on the Internet. The obscene photos of her and another man and the curses others gave her for being unfaithful almost destroyed her courage to live. If it was not Lucas's presence that continued to encourage her, she would probably die from the gossips of others even though she survived the fire. After her investigation, everything was done by Riley.

Destroying her marriage, giving birth to a child for Samuel and forcing her to be branded with the notoriety, Riley could not be atoned for what she had done even if she died a thousand times. However, Nicole was not in a hurry to take revenge on her yet.

Wasn't it fun to boil the frog in warm water?

Thinking of this, Nicole's lips curled up slightly. The smile was wicked and unfathomable.

Samuel had been knocking the door for a while, and there was no response from inside, which made people believe that nobody was at home. Nevertheless, he was not willing to give up. There was obsessiveness in his heart. He wanted to see, with his own eyes, whether Nicole actually showed up in Olivia's house.

It wasn't until he kept knocking for about ten minutes persistently that Nicole finally stood up and went to the door.

She was in a loose pajama, but it could not shield her perfect body-shape. With her hair hung down loosely and bare feet, she opened the door and said carelessly, "Who is it? Why so rude!"

Samuel was immediately stunned.

Nicole's laziness and casualness both reminded him of his wife.

"Nicole…"

He murmured subconsciously, but it made Nicole shocked still.

Why would it be him?

Although she knew that she would make Samuel feel suspicious if she lived in Olivia's house, yet she didn't expect him to come over so soon.

The panic flashed beneath her eyes instantly, and she quickly adjusted her mood. She even plucked her collar straight and spoke with a cough, "Mr. Green? What brings you here?"

The words "Mr. Green" woke Samuel up from his trance.

His eyes narrowed a bit as if they were X-ray scanning through Nicole all over.

Nicole's palms sweated, but she tried her best to maintain her composure. She smiled, "Mr. Green, your stare will make me think too much. If your future wife sees this, I might be doomed again."

"Who are you exactly?"

Samuel was not planning to talk in circles with Nicole. He asked the question directly. His sharp eyes stared straight into Nicole's eyes.

Back then, Nicole was scared of his eyes the most as though his eyes could see through people's heart. Despite her hardships for the past five years, she still felt a little timid in this situation. However, she had to force herself to look into Samuel's eyes.

"Mr. Green, who do you think I am?"

She smiled like a blooming flower, her eyes crystal-clear and even seductive.

If it were some other women, Samuel would turn around and leave without hesitation, but this woman in front had given him too many questions.

Abruptly, Samuel stepped forward, pressing Nicole onto the wall directly.

"Ms. Bush, you'd better not play any tricks with me. I am not a person who is willing to be played and manipulated by others. You piss me off, you will need the determination to have your body smashed to pieces."

He was so close to her that they could smell each other's sound of breath. Nicole clenched her fists and smiled even brighter.

"Mr. Green, are you flirting with me? Or is this the way that your Eternal Group used to keep the talents?"

"Nicole Bush, what's your purpose here? Don't tell me you don't know this place has connection to my wife. You have the same name as her and know Olivia. You want to tell me everything is just a coincidence?"

Samuel was breathing rapidly.

His hot breath sprayed on Nicole's face. She could even feel the invigorating muscles underneath his shirt.

He was as charming as before!

Unfortunately, he was a heartless person.

Nicole averted her eyes and said quietly, "Mr. Green's wife? Is it Ms. Riley?"

She raised her head again, and any sort of emotions had been wiped off her eyes. They were as pure as a spring.

Samuel's heart trembled fiercely.

Such a familiar look, such a pair of eyes, who else could it be except for Nicole Bush?

But why didn't she admit it?

Why was this not the face in his memory?

Was it because of the fire?

Samuel suddenly stretched out his arms and grabbed Nicole's collar, pulling it down subconsciously.

Nicole was scared.

"Samuel Green, what are you doing? I warn you, if you do this to me anymore, I will call the police!"

She held her collar tightly. Sweat streamed out of her palms once again.

She couldn't let him do this!

Though she had changed her appearance for the past five years, still, the fire burns on her body were present.

She thought of Samuel's suspicion, and the latter would investigate her, but she had never thought of the possibility that Samuel would be so bold. After all, she was the designer of the H`J Group, wasn't she?

Seeing the fluster in Nicole's eyes, Samuel's eyes paused for a moment.

"What do you think I am doing? Isn't this your purpose?"

While speaking, Samuel exerted the force of his hand slightly. He looked made regardless.
