Chapter 1341 What a Trick

"It seemed that there are more than ten people. They can't be sent by Phoenix to pick us up, can they?
If so, that's quite something."

Yanice was still joking.

Nicole's expression darkened.

Yanice looked at her and whispered, "Are you going to call Samuel? He must have just left and he
should be back in time if you call him now."

Nicole looked at the bracelet and shook her head slightly. "No need. If he comes back, we may be
annihilated. I don't want both of us to die here."

"But are you going to sacrifice yourself? You should know that the jealous woman is the most terrifying.
What if Phoenix doesn't want to kill you, but want to torment you instead?"

"She shouldn't be such a person."

Nicole sounded pretty sure, causing Yanice to be surprised.

"You have a good impression of her, don't you?"

Nicole smiled bitterly.

Indeed, aside from the fact that Phoenix liked Samuel, Nicole admired and liked Phoenix very much,
but they had such different standpoints.

Although she had barely known Phoenix before, Nicole felt that if Phoenix wanted to get rid of her, she
would do it straight and would definitely not torture her.

Phoenix would just kill her.



This feeling came suddenly and quickly, but Nicole firmly believed it.

From Samuel's description, Nicole could tell about Phoenix's personality. She was clear about what she
loved and what she hated; she was straightforward; and she did things neatly, just as well as a man.

Such a person should be Samuel's helper, not his enemy.

Nicole was drowned in her own thoughts, but Yanice did not understand as she whispered, "Then what
should we do now? The people seem to be getting closer and closer to us."

Nicole couldn't keep thinking under such a situation. She grabbed Yanice's hand and whispered,
"Follow me."

"You're familiar with this place?"

Nicole did not say anything, but quickly took Yanice to hide.

The hiding place was much concealed, even Yanice had not thought of it.

"You're pretty amazing. How did you know there was a trash bin here?"

Yanice used to live in an exquisite lifestyle, but after being imprisoned for so many years, she knew that
to live was the most important. Therefore, when Nicole dragged her into a trash bin, Yanice did not
hesitate at all.

Nicole whispered, "When I got off the car, I checked around and found that this place was very
spacious. The only place we could hide was this trash bin. I just didn't expect that there would be little
trash at this time."

"Amazing! You've started to observe when you got off the car. You are on guard against Phoenix from
the beginning. You don't trust her, right? But I remember you said admired her, didn't you?"



Yanice still remembered what Nicole had said about Phoenix. She just couldn't understand why
Nicole's attitude suddenly changed. What had happened in the past three days?

Nicole watched out as she whispered, "Yanice, how can you tell that Phoenix has feelings for Samuel?"

If Samuel hadn't told her, Nicole wouldn't have thought about it. However, Yanice seemed to have
known it from the beginning and everything she had said or had done was for Nicole's sake. Thinking
of this, Nicole sighed.

Yanice said indifferently, "It's obvious, but somehow you didn't notice it. I noticed her feelings for
Samuel when Samuel asked her to protect me. If she were really just a subordinate, she wouldn't
agree to protect me for the sake of her friends. But she compromised. She even took such a big risk to
bring us into the palace, either sincerely or with ulterior motives. I can tell from the guy with her, Rey,
that she is a good leader. She can make people willingly die for her, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to
send us away. When the snowstorm just began, with the help from outside the palace, she had a good
chance of sending us away. However, she did not do so. Instead, she brought us to the danger center.
So, there is a possibility that she wants us to die."

Nicole sighed and said, "Yanice, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Samuel trusts Phoenix the most and I am just an outsider. It's inappropriate for me to say this. I didn't
want to get into trouble."

Yanice had experienced a lot over the years. If it weren't for the fact that Nicole was William's niece,
perhaps she wouldn't even have said this to her.

Nicole thought that she had experienced a lot and should be able to see through many things, but she
did not expect that Yanice still knew more than her.

"But if you're right, how come Samuel doesn't figure it out?"



"That's because Phoenix is Samuel's most trusted subordinate, or one of the closest friends, if you will.
He won't think about that at all."

Yanice's guess was correct.

Nicole nodded and said, "Yes, she saved Samuel's life."

"Oh, I see."

After they finished speaking, the searching people arrived. They were standing just outside the bin, so
Nicole and Yanice stopped talking.

From the crack, Nicole saw two teams of guards, who should be in charge of security. They looked at
each other, then quickly parted and walked away.

It seemed that the guards weren't here to kill them, but they weren't here to pick them up either.

To prove her conjecture, Nicole whispered, "Janice, can we stay here for a while longer?"

"It's OK."

Yanice was at ease.

Nicole switched off the bracelet. Yanice was surprised.

"You're going to take the risk by yourself, and you don't want Samuel to participate, do you?"

"Between me and Phoenix, I believe that Samuel will definitely choose me. However, I cannot let him
confront Phoenix right now. As long as they haven't found me, Phoenix and Samuel will not oppose
each other. However, if they know my exact location, I am afraid that Phoenix will attack Samuel."

This was Nicole's concern.



She was very clear about Samuel's feelings for her. If Samuel found out about her position, he would
definitely ask Phoenix about it. At that time, if Phoenix admitted that she wanted Nicole to die, then
Samuel would most likely break up with Phoenix.

That was not what Nicole wanted to see.

Yanice was slightly stunned. She just couldn't understand Nicole.

"But you are giving Samuel and Phoenix time to spend together. Do you know that you are creating
opportunities for her?"

"I believe him."

She had this confidence.

This was the first time Yanice had looked so carefully at Nicole. Looking at this beautiful and seemingly
weak woman, she couldn't help but think of another woman.

Sally Shaw!

She remembered seeing Sally after William had disappeared. She used to Sally for harming William
and wished to kill her. However, Sally saved her instead and told her that she believed in William. She
would wait for him for no matter how many years because William was the only one for her.

At that time, the expression on Sally's face was exactly the same as Nicole's.

Yanice did not know why the couples would believe each other so firmly and why the girls would never
compromise or betray her soul even to save their own lives in such a harsh situation.

It turned out that Sally was right.



William was still alive, and Leo hadn't found out about the secret he had tried to conceal. She could
imagine the suffering William had experienced over the years, but he still managed to defend what he
wanted to protect.

Was his love for Sally that had been supporting him all the way?

Yanice felt sad.

Both the Dons and the Shaws were the same.

Nicole did not hear Yanice's reply, nor did she say anything. She looked outside and whispered, "If
Phoenix really sent someone to pick us up, they would come soon."

"You're still thinking about this."

Yanice sneered, but then she heard footsteps coming from outside. It should be only one person.

She was surprised.

Nicole kept staring outside and saw a maid sneakily arrive here and was looking around, as if she was
looking for something or waiting for someone.

Was she sent by Phoenix to pick them up?

While Nicole was pondering, a male guard showed up. When he saw the maid, he asked in a low
voice, "Helen, did you get any instructions from the princess?"

"The princess told you to look for two women. They didn't work here. They just came in from outside
the palace. If you find them, kill them and throw them into Major's palace."

Helen kept her voice low, but because they stood very close to the trash bin, Nicole and Yanice could
hear it clearly.



What a trick!

It seemed that Nicole had guessed it wrong in the end. Phoenix still wanted her to die.

Yanice was right. Phoenix had known the patrol schedule of the guards here, and she had sent Samuel
away in advance, leaving only Yanice and Nicole to wait here. If the patrol guards discovered them,
they would arrest them as intruders and even kill them directly. If they were still alive, then Helen would
let the man she was talking to deal with them.

Nicole felt slightly cold.

She was a little angry with Phoenix, who she had never met before, but she knew that it was not the
time to vent her anger.

The man looked around and whispered, "This place is very spacious. Where can they go? What if they
had been taken away by the guards?"

"No, I followed the guards all the way here. There was no one else. Maybe they are hiding somewhere.
Princess said that you must get rid of them before they are discovered."

Helen's voice was cold.

Nicole narrowed her eyes slightly.

Helen was actually there just now. So what she had guessed was correct.

Phoenix, oh Phoenix, what trouble you are!
