Chapter 939 The Voice was Too Familiar

Samuel's voice wasn't loud, and there weren't even any emotional ups and downs, but it inexplicably
made Nicole shudder.

She hadn't seen Samuel like this for a long time.

Steven frowned deeply.

"I don't want to fight with you. It's just that Ashley has been in the operation room all day."

After hearing what Steven said, Booth spoke immediately.

"We're not in a hurry. We can do it tomorrow."

Nicole glanced at Booth. She knew that Booth was putting himself in their shoes. And before she could
say anything, Steven said, "Alright then, let's do it tomorrow. My wife is exhausted, and today is my
daughter's birthday."

In that case, Nicole and them had no reason to continue.

"OK, we'll go to Dr. Ashley tomorrow. Sorry about that, Mr. Bradford. We have no idea that today is your
daughter's birthday."

Nicole was afraid that Samuel would be mad, so she hurriedly spoke first.

Steven looked at Nicole and his expression softened.

"Thank you. I'd like to invite you to my daughter's birthday party tonight." he said.

"We will be there."

Nicole answered quickly.



Samuel still looked unhappy.

"Why are you so courteous to him?" Samuel asked.

Saying that in front of Steven made Nicole a little embarrassed.

"Shut up."

She whispered, but Steven heard it clearly. The corners of his mouth turned up in a slight smile.

"Sam, your wife knows better than you."

"Get lost!"

Samuel couldn't bear to be here with Steven for one more minute, so he took Nicole and Booth directly
to a nearby hotel.

Steven smiled and said, "You don't need to stay in a hotel. I have a house here."

"Not my business!"

Samuel didn't appreciate it at all. He took Nicole and left quickly, childishly showing his unhappiness
completely on his face.

Nicole found that incredibly funny.

"Why are you so childish? After all, he is Dr. Ashley's husband. Besides, we really don't know that
today is his daughter's birthday. What gift are we going to buy her?"

Hearing Nicole's words, Samuel harrumphed coldly, "What do you want to buy for his daughter? His
daughter is the apple of his eye. It's not surprising even if you get the moon for her. Don't think too



much. Just buy something that suits you girls' taste. I'm just a little angry. We used to be friends, and he
embarrassed me in front of my wife."

Hearing Samuel's reason, Nicole immediately laughed.

"Really? Are you really this naïve?"

"Yes, I am."

Samuel checked in as he spoke.

Ernesto brought Booth back to his room first.

Nicole was a little worried. Samuel whispered, "It's fine. I've already told Ernesto to get a care worker.
Someone will look after Booth tonight. Don't worry."

"You are always more thoughtful than me."

Nicole relaxed now.

After tidying up, the two of them went to the party of Steven's daughter.

Steven hadn't been back yet. Nicole and Samuel sat in a corner. Looking at all kinds of people here,
Nicole sighed, "What does this Mr. Bradford do? I think there are people of all kinds."

"He's the boss of the Dark Empire. What do you think?"

Samuel's words stunned Nicole.

This was completely new to her, but Nicole could tell it from Steven.

"We won't see any mafia of any country here, right?"



"Maybe."

Samuel wasn't sure.

If it wasn't Nicole who insisted on coming, he actually didn't want Nicole to be here. After all, there was
a mix of people. He was really afraid that something bad would happen to her.

Nicole was a little surprised.

The two of them did not greet anyone, trying to keep a low profile.

Samuel kept asking Nicole to eat more food.

To be honest, the food here was really good, and Nicole had eaten quite a lot.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Nicole said.

Nicole really stuffed her face.

"Do you need me to go with you?"

Samuel was a little cautious.

Nicole knew what Samuel was worried about. She smiled and said, "There is no need. I'm just going to
the bathroom. Don't worry. I promise that I will talk to no one and keep my head down the whole way,
never letting those guys notice me."

"That's not what I meant."

Samuel was a little depressed.

"Forget it, just go."



He thought silently that it would be better to find someone to follow Nicole later. After all, the good and
bad people were mixed up in here.

As he agreed, Nicole got up and walked towards the bathroom.

"I'll be back soon."

"Alright."

Samuel nodded, but still he asked someone to follow her.

Nicole obviously knew that Samuel didn't trust her to go alone, so she usually turned a blind eye to his
arrangements.

Nicole walked to the front door of the bathroom. There were indeed many people. They were all noble
ladies, and some of them were even wearing name brand clothes. Compared to them, Nicole's clothing
was a little casual.

Nicole did not talk to anyone and went straight into the bathroom.

Some women were chattering outside.

"Hey, have you heard it? Mr. Bradford's wife, Ashley, she seems to be having an affair."

"Nonsense. How dare you say that? Aren't they afraid that Mr. Bradford will kill them?"

Nicole was slightly astounded when she heard this.

"Ashley is having an affair?" she wondered to herself.

How could such a cold and aloof person cheat on her husband?



However, she only listened and did not interrupt them.

The sound from outside continued.

"You don't know, do you? It is said that this man is also a mafia. He's amazing."

"Really? Who is he?"

"Don't know. However, someone photographed Ashley and that man staying out all night. Although
today's party was well-organized, who knows if the two of them are going to divorce secretly?"

"Divorce? I don't think so. According to Mr. Bradford's temper, he probably will make her disappear for
no reason."

What they said were getting more and more ridiculous. Nicole frowned tightly. She had a strong desire
to go out and defend Ashley from those unreasonable accusation.

At this moment, there came a sudden scream from outside. The women who were shouting just now
rushed out, and then Nicole heard a familiar male voice.

"Is there anyone else? Get out of here!"

Nicole shivered inwardly.

This voice was too familiar, but she couldn't think of who it was for a while.

She quickly crawled to the ventilation port above the cubicle and held her breath.

Someone kicked open the cubicles in the bathroom one by one.

Nicole glanced through the vent and was suddenly shocked.



Brian Sherman?!

It was the Brian who had disappeared!

What was he doing here?

Nicole thought for a while and suddenly recalled that Booth's broken leg had something to do with this
man.

A woman followed behind Brian. Seeing no one was here after Brian kicked open all the cubicles, she
hugged Brian from behind and said charmingly, "You are really bold. This is the ladies' room, don't you
afraid that someone will call the police?"

"Who dares? This is Mr. Bradford's place."

Brian turned around and forced the woman directly onto the wall of one cubicle. He put his hands on
the woman and was about to take a further step.

The woman quickly stopped him.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I have something important to say."

"What? The thing I'm doing now with you is the most important."

Brian said as he was about to kiss that woman.

The woman instantly took out a thin blade and pressed it against the main artery of Brian's neck, and
smiled, "What's the hurry? I said, let's get down to business first."

Brian looked at the sharp blade and stopped.



"Let's talk. What are you doing with the knife?"

"Then tell me. How's the thing I asked you to do?"

Brian was cautious. He looked around and then said, "It's all done. Ashley is unable to give a
convincing explanation now, but if Mr. Bradford finds out about this, I'm done. You have to keep your
promise."

"Of course. Even if you don't do this, there is no way out for you. You asked my men to break Booth's
leg. Now that he is not dead, he will definitely tell Samuel's wife about what you did. You mess up with
Samuel's family, you come to no good end, so the only thing you can do now is to continue to work with
us, understand?"

The woman's words made Nicole uptight.

It was indeed Brian!

Brian smiled and said, "That guy won't tell Nicole."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. Booth knew you guys, so he won't risk getting Nicole involved. He would rather suffer
himself than let Nicole know the truth. Besides, Olivia that girl was poisoned by you, so certainly Booth
doesn't dare to joke about his sister's life. He's been looking for me everywhere for so long, but still
hasn't found anything, right? Nicole won't know about this."

Hearing what Brian said, Nicole's heart sank.

Olivia was poisoned?

How come didn't she know that?



Nicole felt a little guilty.

What had the Kent's siblings been through because of her?

Why she didn't know all of this.

Who was this woman in front of Brian?

Why she was so capable of helping Brian to do all these things?

And why did Brian attack Booth and his sister?

Was it just because of Booth and that small travel agency?

Nicole couldn't figure out.

Hearing what Brian said, she paused for a second, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be this
capable. Honey, I can't wait any more. Come on."

She grabbed Brian, and the two of them could not wait to do their thing.

Nicole was forced to watch them from above. She listened, but kept thinking.

She carefully took out her phone and sent a message to Samuel.

"Brian Sherman is in the ladies' room. Send someone over and get him. He broke Booth's leg and he
poisoned Olivia. I want to know who is behind him."

Nicole waited there after sending out the message.

Samuel frowned slightly when he received the text.

Brian Sherman?



He didn't quite remember this person, but Nicole was in danger, he wouldn't sit by idly.

At this time, Steven came in with his wife and daughter, Samuel hurriedly stood up and walked straight
towards him.

After all, this was Steven's place, so he had better let him know.
