Chapter 16 Very Well Meaning
During the time abroad, Nicole had dealt with lots of flashing lights, so she was especially familiar with the reflect light under the sun.
Riley George was as insidious as give years ago. She was begging for pardon seemingly. In fact, however, she already asked someone to film this. If Nicole was not mistaken, not long after she went to the Eternal Group, the video of her bullying Riley would also appear on the Internet.
By then, she would become the target of everyone's gossips like five years ago. To make it worse, she was now a renowned designer in the H`J Group. The embarrassment at that time would not only be for herself.
Riley was indeed "very well meaning".
Nicole sniffed, "Ms. George, what are you doing? Back at the company, you beat me however you want, and now you are here at my door to pretend to be the victim. You even ask someone to film this secretly. I am not sure you are here to apologize or to play rough on me?"
Riley's face paled immediately.
"Ms. Catherine, I don't know what you are saying. I am really sincerely here to beg you to go back. Sam, I…"
"Ms. George, you are such a good actor. Unfortunately, you seem to forget about what I do for a living. I am a car designer who handles the components of car every day, having many opportunities to know about retroreflector. Next time, Ms. George, if you want to set me up, please be stealthier and tell the cameraman in the dark to hide their cameras better."
Nicole's words made Samuel's eyes squint.
He looked around fast and a shadow rushed onto the street hurriedly.
Samuel's eyes grew gloomy all of a sudden.
"If you're not here to apologize, then get the fuck out. Don't make a fool of yourself here."
"It's not like this. Sam, it's not what you think. I really didn't do that."
Riley explained hurriedly.
She couldn't let Samuel know how mean she was and she couldn't let Nicole win. That person would not betray her anyway, she just had to hold her ground and did not admit it.
However, Nicole was too lazy to watch her show.
"If you two have any other shows to put on, please do that at home. Tell me if you have an opinion on me, but Mr. Green, I hope you can give me a good explanation today. I am sorry, I am a bit tired. Please suit yourselves."
With that, Nicole directly went back to her house and slammed the door shut, isolating Samuel outside the door completely.
Samuel failed to dodge that and his handsome features were almost knocked by the door. He stepped back subconsciously, but he didn't see the stairs and missed his step, falling down onto the floor.
"Sam."
Riley caught him fast and her eyes were occupied with worries.
"Are you okay? Catherine is really arrogant. She's just a car designer. How dare she treat you like this? Let's find another one. As long as we give enough money, we can hire better designer."
Riley's words made Samuel frown again.
He took his arms out of Riley's hand and turned to face her coldly.
For the first time, Samuel found that he had never truly known about Riley.
He always considered her to be gentle and kind. Five years ago, for the sake of the child of the Green family, she even gave birth to Joseph despite of her personal reputation. Later on, in order to raise Joseph, she even stayed in the Green family to take care of Joseph.
Normally, Samuel only saw Riley's gentleness and tenderness, but today, her behaviors was beyond her expectation.
Even he suspected Nicole's identity and her purpose to Eternal Group, but Riley had never met Nicole before. Unexpectedly, Riley picked a fight with Nicole with disregard for the manners in front of the company. Riley's shrew-like behavior, for the first time, made Samuel believe that maybe she didn't stay in the Green family completely for Joseph only.
Such a realization disgusted him for unknown reason.
"Riley, you have been in the Green family for five years, haven't you?"
Samuel spoke emotionlessly.
Riley was stunned slightly and did not know what she mean, so she nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, it has been five years."
"You are not young. It has been unfair for you these years to bring up Joseph. If you meet any man you like, don't forget to tell me. I will help you marry out with the title as the eldest daughter. Don't worry, dowry will be enough for you."
Riley was petrified by Samuel's words.
"Sam, what do you mean? Are you kicking me out of the Green family? Why? Just because I offend Catherine? Listen to me. I know I was wrong. I will apologize to her. I didn't ask anyone to film this. I didn't!"
Tears streamed out of Riley's eyes immediately. The pitiful way she looked was as years ago.
However, Samuel said coldly, "It has nothing to do with her. I mean it. You are not young. You can't waste your youth in the Green family. Some people will never return if they're gone. You should have your own life."
After saying that, Samuel strode away.
Riley's face was ghastly pale and her body hung by a thread.
No!
No way!
She had waited for five years and loved him for so many years, giving birth to Joseph with all her efforts. Originally, she thought after suffering came happiness, but how could he say something so heartless?
Was it all because of Catherine?
