"Do you want to know why your second uncle came to the Harper Town back then? If you want, I'll meet you at the back mountain of the Bryan Town at ten o'clock tonight. Remember, come here alone. If you tell anyone else, you won't be able to see your second uncle in this lifetime."
That person was using a voice changer, and the old and cold voice disgusted Nicole.
"Who are you?"
That person hung up the phone.
"Mommy, is it Daddy?"
Joseph walked away a moment ago, and when he came back, he saw Nicole staring blankly at her phone, so he couldn't help but ask.
"No, I forgot to pay the phone bill this month."
Nicole hurriedly put her phone in her pocket. Her palms were covered in sweat, and she felt somewhat guilty, as if she had done something bad.
"Mommy, you don't look good. Are you tired? Why don't you go in and lie down for a while? Let me check you up."
Joseph was worried about Nicole's health.
"It's OK. I'm not that weak. Perhaps it's because the altitude here is a bit high. I have a bit of altitude sickness."
Nicole had an altitude sickness the last time she came here. She didn't know the route this time, so she wasn't prepared for it.
Joseph hurriedly took out a small oxygen tube and handed it to Nicole.
"Mommy, take a breath."
Seeing that Joseph was so sensible, Nicole was happy in her heart.
She took a few breaths of oxygen and let the children go to rest.
The people of the Bryan Town also settled down under Juliana's father's lead, while Nicole looked at the back mountain in a daze.
Samuel hadn't returned yet, and he didn't know what he was doing in the back mountain. That baffling person had also asked her to go to the back mountain, but the time was different.
What was going on?
Could it be that the other party didn't want Samuel to follow her?
Nicole frowned, unable to figure it out.
She subconsciously thought of Samuel.
If there was something she could not solve or understand, she would look for Samuel because Nicole always thought that Samuel was smarter than her. However, Nicole did not know if they had any spies here.
If he rashly went to the back mountain to look for Samuel, she might alarm the enemy.
Nicole took out her phone and shouted at Joseph and Zoe's room, "Children, it's boring to stay here. Let's play Penta Storm."
"Mommy, are you serious?"
Zoe was the first to run out. Looking at her excited look, Nicole felt happy.
"Yes, I knew you would like it."
"Of course. Joseph, hurry up. Let's play Penta Storm with Mommy."
Zoe shouted at Joseph's room.
Joseph poked his head out in surprise and smiled, "Mommy, come in and play. It's a little hot outside."
"Alright."
Nicole agreed and walked over.
Just as she walked over, Joseph whispered, "Mommy, are you in trouble?"
"Is there anything that can temporarily interfere with the signal? I need one minute."
Nicole had no other choice.
If Joseph did not prepare this kind of thing, perhaps Zoe would prepare it. She had never thought that one day she would ask these two children for help. One of them was a medical student, and the other seemed to be a foodie.
Joseph was slightly stunned. Zoe took out a small item from her pocket and handed it over.
"Mommy, is this what you want?"
Nicole glanced at her daughter. That glance was quite complicated.
She took the signal jammer and quickly took out her phone. She sent a message to Samuel and told him about that phone call before turning off the signal jammer.
When Samuel received Nicole's message, he was slightly stunned and frowned.
He did not reply. Instead, he had someone go down the mountain while he hid in the mountain.
After Nicole and the children finished a few games, Juliana's father had someone cook for dinner. During this time, Natalie woke up once and smiled very gently when she saw Juliana.
"I'm fine, Juliana, don't worry about me."
"Mom, look at you. You didn't even tell me that you had a fever. Are you making me feel sad?"
Juliana's face was stained with tears and she looked very worried.
Looking at Juliana's childish look, Zoe couldn't help but smile and say, "Juliana, you cried. I thought you are tough."
Juliana couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then embarrassedly said, "Who says that a tough woman can't cry?"
"Alright, alright. You have got the point."
Juliana was even more embarrassed.
Nicole said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Jarrod was slightly stunned. He smiled again and said, "Sure enough, you are his woman. You all have a strong character."
"I don't think you asked me here to talk to me about this. Jarrod, where is my second uncle?"
Nicole was very worried about her second uncle.
These years, her second uncle's whereabouts had always been a mystery. Sally said that he was living a life worse than death, but she couldn't find his exact whereabouts, which made Nicole's heart feel even more uncomfortable.
She had never seen her biological father before. It was said that her second uncle and his father were twins and looked exactly the same. Therefore, she had a selfish motive. She wanted to see her second uncle as if she saw her father. If his father was still alive, he should look like her second uncle now.
Jarrod did not answer Nicole immediately. Instead, he glanced at the cave and smiled, "You two are really slippery. I clearly said that I wanted you to come alone, but you asked Samuel to wait for me here. You broke my rule. Why do you think I will tell you what you want to know?"
"Because I am Samuel, and I am her husband."
Samuel walked out of the darkness. He held a gun in his hand, and he pointed the gun straight at Jarrod.
For a moment, Jarrod's heart ached.
Being pointed at by his own younger brother with a gun, he felt uncomfortable, but...
He smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think you can threaten me with a gun to tell you the things what I don't want to tell you? Samuel, do you really know me?"
"I don't need to know you. I just need to know the truth."
When Samuel walked to Nicole's side, he pulled her behind him, afraid that Jarrod would harm her.
The moment she saw Samuel, Nicole felt relieved. She finally saw him. It was good that he was fine.
Nicole hugged Samuel's arm tightly.
Samuel patted the back of her hand and said to Jarrod, "I don't want to hurt you, but it's obvious that I was too naive."
"I advised you not to interfere in this matter. Don't you understand? Samuel, do you want to risk your life? Or do you think it will make you a hero? Do you know who you're dealing with? How dare you come here alone? Do you know you brought your family here to die?"
Jarrod looked at Samuel. He wanted to knock him unconscious and send him back to the Seapolis City. He didn't want him to come here again.
Seeing the anxiety in Jarrod's eyes, Samuel trembled slightly. Then, he put away his gun and said indifferently, "I am the current master of the Harper Town. Your so-called good mother planted the Memory Bug on me before she died, so that every day and night, I can clearly see how cruelly my people were murdered. The mission she left me was to uncover the truth about the destruction of the Harper Town and avenge those who died unjustly. You were taken good care by your parents. You have no mission or responsibility, so you can naturally be so relaxed. But do you know what it feels like to be troubled by the Memory Bug? Perhaps you don't even know what a bug is, do you? "
Jarrod was suddenly stunned.
Mother?
Did his mother ask Samuel to do this?
Why?
Why was this happening?
