As night fell, news came from Emory. The higher-ups agreed to let Jarrod and Amelia stay here. However, for the sake of the confidentiality of the operation, Jarrod had to participate in all future actions and work together with Emory and Samuel.
Jarrod didn't care about such a request.
Samuel called Fill.
Fill was gaining weight. He was given a free hand to handle Sky Group's affairs. When he got the news that Samuel wanted him to protect these three children, he sent a helicopter to take Joseph and Zoe away without a word.
Although Joseph and Zoe insisted to stay, they were objected by Nicole and Samuel. Nicole and Samuel told them to stay at home and be well-behaved.
When Fill met Jarrod, he was especially hostile and even wanted to strike a blow, but was stopped by Samuel.
"He didn't mean to hurt you. I know that it made you feel sad. We have lost several men. And I will give you an explanation."
"You give me an explanation? Boss, why should you give me an explanation?"
Fill was confused.
Samuel had to tell Fill his relationship with Jarrod.
Jarrod did not want Samuel to stand up for him. He came to Fill and said indifferently, "When this matter is over, we then tackle our personal affairs. Shall we?"
Actually, Fill had always admired Jarrod. They were both people in gray area. It was Samuel that supported him to today's position. Although his own efforts played an indispensable role, he was clear that he could not be able to make such a success if he fought alone like Jarrod.
"Just as what you said, we'll settle our personal affairs after dealing this matter. Therefore, you'd better stay alive until then."
This matter was quite important. It had lasted for more than 30 years. Although it looked that nothing was going on now, he knew that a fierce storm was gathering in the dark.
"Of course."
Jarrod nodded and walked away.
Samuel knew Fill very well. Although Fill belonged to the Sky Group, he also used to be a soldier. He knew the big picture.
He patted Fill and whispered, "Prepare everyone in the Sky Group. There's a war we are about to fight."
Fill had nothing more to worry about. Right now, the Sky Group served for the country, so it had to obey all commands by the country. The only one he worried about was Phoenix.
"I think Phoenix should stay away from this mess. No matter what, she's a princess of Country F. It's better to not get her father involved."
Fill didn't mean that Inez Freeman, Country F's fifth princess would betray him. But she was in an awkward situation. After all, she had to think differently in kinship and national conditions.
Samuel frowned and then nodded.
"Alright, let Silver manage to notify Phoenix to stay away from this matter. If possible, send her away."
Fill said he understood.
After hearing the news, Nicole was also arranging her own matters.
She and Samuel were in full swing this time. She was not sure if they could escape unscathed. Those people who cared about her and things that didn't have time to deal with needed to be dealt with beforehand.
Nicole called Daisy.
Nicole knew nothing about the filmmaking company's latest news, but now she has a new idea.
Daisy was extremely excited when she received Nicole's call.
"Ms. Bush, you finally call me."
Daisy's words surprised Nicole.
"Something's wrong? You couldn't get through to me?"
It was impossible. She always paid for her phone bills.
Daisy hurriedly explained, "No. It's just that Mr. Green said not to call you if there is nothing important."
Daisy felt wronged when she said that.
Nicole suddenly laughed.
"I'm your boss but you chose to take orders from him."
However, the moment she stopped speaking, Nicole remembered that Daisy was arranged for her by Samuel.
Hurriedly, Daisy said, "Ms. Bush, our filmmaking company is developing very well now. It has made its glorious presence in City B."
That was a joyous thing.
After all, Nicole had just started the filmmaking company for a short time, and it wasn't easy to do so in City B.
Nicole didn't devoted much to the company, so she was very grateful to Daisy.
"Daisy, thank you. From now on, I will make you the vice president of the filmmaking company. You and Olivia will take the helm. In addition, I have left an assignment contract in the law firm. Please ask the lawyer to give it to Olivia. I have split all my shares in the filmmaking company into two, one for you and one for Olivia. From now on, the filmmaking company belongs to Olivia, Ashley and you."
Nicole's words stunned Daisy completely.
"Ms. Bush, what do you mean? Did I do something wrong? I don't want shares. I..."
"Daisy, listen to me. You have devoted yourself to this company, and you deserve it. I started it for Olivia at first, and it's nothing wrong to give it to her. You know, I have more than one company and I know how much you've paid for this company. If it wasn't me, you wouldn't have stayed in such a small company and worked as such a small director and was exhausted every day. I believe it is the right thing to let you take the helm."
Nicole's words moved Daisy a lot.
That was true.
No one expected that the playboy would now become a good husband. He even cooked for his beloved wife.
Nicole smiled affectionately.
"Well, you don't have to show how much you love each other in front of me."
Evelyn, however, stretched out her neck and said, "Your husband's love for you is truly peerless. Stop complaining."
Nicole already felt cheered up.
Evelyn could always make people feel better like this.
This may have something to do with her new song. Nicole liked her very much.
"How are you? Are you feeling better?"
A trace of sadness flashed through Evelyn's face.
"Much better. The doctor said the fetus was far from mature, so it hasn't done much harm to my body. As long as I take good care of myself, soon I can get pregnant again."
"I'm sorry for your suffering."
Nicole knew that both Tim and Evelyn were really fond of the expecting baby, but it didn't work out.
"I'm fine. It's a good thing I sensed something wrong early before its birth. Otherwise the baby would suffer for the rest of its life. Although Tim and I felt sorry, we are quite rational now. Don't worry, I have recovered a lot. It's just that Tim is still worrying and wants me to take a longer rest."
There was full of happiness on her face.
Nicole felt gratified, too.
"Then you should take really good care of yourself."
"Of course I will. I surely will cherish my own body. Well, I heard that you are traveling. How is it? Is it beautiful? Tim and I haven't finished our honeymoon yet. He said when I'm feeling better, we'll travel again."
Evelyn's words stunned Nicole for a while. But quickly, she smiled and said, "We are fine here. The temperature is just right. You and Tim can take a vacation here."
"You guys are going to another place? I was thinking of going to join you. Now, tell me where do you want to go next? Maybe Tim and I can directly join you by air."
Evelyn's words frightened Nicole.
'They're coming to us?'
'That cannot happen.'
Not to mention how dangerous this place was, no one knew where Jayden was hiding since he had escaped. If Tim and Evelyn were attacked by him… Nicole dare not imagine further.
