Chapter 1169 Let&##x27;s Wait and See What Will Happen

Sally was stunned for a moment as Samuel was quite straightforward.

"What is it?"

Sally smiled faintly and took a sip of tea from the teacup in front of her.

Samuel knew that he was blunt, but he had no intention to avoid. He asked, "Ms. Sally, you're such a
powerful and well-connected lady in Country F over the years. I suppose that you should have some
precautions if you were exposed. May I ask how you come to such wretched situation?"

Sally's hand trembled and a slight pain flashed in her eyes.

"Indeed, I had a back-up plan. I will not be in such situation even if I am exposed. But I didn't expect
that a traitor is among my men. It's my fault. I would not be in such wretched situation if that traitor
didn't betray Morgan and me."

Samuel did not say anything.

Indeed, the traitor was a good excuse. It was also a reason to explain why she was in such bad
situation. However, it was a special period now. Samuel would only believe one third of what he heard
and he would only be convinced by facts of the rest.

"You still don't believe me, do you?"

Sally knew that she showed up in the Seapolis City suddenly. Nicole and Samuel wouldn't believe her
as they were vigilant.

She smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. Pretend that I didn't look for you. I'll deal with it by my own."



"Sally, we have never said that we won't help you. We've found you a house. Samuel and I just want to
go to Country F. Major wanted to kill me. I got the news that he would attack me on the New Year's
Eve. But nothing happened. It's not his style. Now you came back at this sensitive moment. We just ask
you questions routinely."

Nicole said calmly with a light smile on her face.

Sally frowned tightly.

"I'm afraid that Major has no time to kill you."

"What do you mean?"

Both Samuel and Nicole were stunned.

Sally sneered and said, "Santino and Zayn fight with each other deadly and Major wants to take over.
Santino spread the news not long ago that Zayn is a gay. He tried to destroy the marriage between
Zayn and the daughter of Prime Minister. Indeed, Zayn is my son. Zayn was well prepared before
Santino spread the news. As soon as the news came out, Zayn fought back right away. The battle
between them started and it went intense. By this moment, someone revealed news about Major's
background. It was said that he was Zayn's half-brother and Lillian was his biological mother. The king
has begun to investigate now. Major is under house arrest. "

Hearing the news, both Nicole and Samuel paused for a moment.

Even they had known Major's identity and he would be used by Zayn for fighting against Santino. Zayn
would have a chance to survive as long as he made a mess.

However, Nicole and Samuel didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.

Samuel was the first one to figure it out.



"Zayn has been in the entertainment industry for years and he is quite good at manipulating the media
and public opinion."

Nicole nodded.

However, Sally said bitterly, "The king is investigating Major's background and he also puts Zayn and
Santino under house arrest."

"Why?"

Nicole couldn't understand it.

Sally smiled bitterly and said, "The king has never trusted anyone. He likes neither Santino nor Zayn.
Now, Major is his son. Once it is confirmed, perhaps the king's throne will be passed down to Major
directly even if Zayn and Santino do not fight with each other."

"Why?"

Nicole felt that she could not digest it.

Sally looked outside. It snowed again.

She did not say anything. Samuel found some clues from her words.

"Did the king let Zayn fight with Santino on purpose?"

"What?"

Nicole was stunned and then asked, "How could he do it on purpose? Both Zayn and Santino are his
sons!"



"They are the same to the king. None of them is precious to him. He let Santino and Zayn fight with
each other intentionally. He needs someone to balance Santino's power since it has grown stronger
these years."

Sally said indifferently and self-deprecatingly, "I always thought that I faked my death quite well. Now I
realized that the king might have known it. He didn't get me exposed only because of Zayn. Zayn is my
son. The king planned to let Zayn seize power and balance Santino's force. I'm not sure about others,
but I will support and secretly help Zayn to achieve it. Then, even if all people are not in favor of Zayn,
he and Santino still can reach a balance."

Nicole didn't understand politics well.

Weren't Zayn and Santino the king's sons?

The king encouraged Zayn to seize power in order to balance Santino's power.

What exactly was this?

Samuel had understood this.

"The king loves his throne the most. Let's put it in another way. He doesn't want to pass his throne
down to anyone. That's why he allows his sons to balance themselves. This is the king's game. He
needs to ensure that the government is balanced evenly."

Sally was stunned since Samuel figured it out so quickly. Then, Sally said with a smile, "Men know men
well. I thought I successfully covered my fake death these years. I didn't expect that I have been
schemed against by the king from the very beginning. He started his plan from the moment of my fake
death. He allowed Zayn to stay away for so many years. The king knew well the relationship and
affections between Zayn and Pedro. He stood aside. In the end, he even allowed Major to kill Pedro. It
aroused Zayn's anger and he had no choice but to go back to seize power for revenge. The king has



plotted everything. I am suddenly scared. I would never have survived until now if he wanted me to die
long time ago. There is a traitor among my people now and he is the king's man. The king wants me to
die this time. "

Sally said sadly.

It was so desperate that her beloved man wanted to kill her. Moreover, this man was a person with
great power.

Nicole and Samuel were silent.

They wanted neither to pry into Country F's national affairs nor to intervene the war of the throne. But
they had no other choices now.

"The king is a frightening man according to your words."

"Yes, he is."

Sally nodded and did not say anything further.

The doubts about Sally in Samuel's mind had been removed a lot.

If what Sally told them were true, it would be very easy to kill Sally with the king's power in Country F.

But why?

Why did he want to kill Sally?

Nicole had a lot of questions in her mind. Then, she suddenly remembered.

"Sally, I've always wanted to ask you, do you know the terrorist who kidnapped you from the Seapolis
City years ago?"



Sally paused for a moment and shook her head.

"I don't know. I was adopted by an ordinary family. I thought they were my biological parents. I only
realized that they were not till I saw the adoption documents. They were so nice to me."

Sally felt sad after she said this.

"I started to inquiry this person when I investigated my background. Finally, I found out that I was the
daughter of the Shaws in the Seapolis City."

Nicole paused for a moment, but she did not say anything.

They sat for a while. Nicole gave Sally the address of the house. It was the house where Laurence
used to live.

Sally thanked her. Then, Nicole and Samuel walked out.

Samuel held Nicole's hand and whispered, "What do you think?"

"Some of them are true and some are not."

Samuel paused slightly after he heard Nicole's words. Then he smiled and brushed the hair from her
forehead.

"You're so straightforward. I thought you would take all her words as truth. She is your aunt."

"How is that possible? I'm not a child anymore. How can I believe other people's words?"

Nicole stared at Samuel fondly.

Samuel's passion was arisen as his Adam's apple rolled.



However, he needed to suppress this feeling as it was not the right time.

"From your opinion, which of her words are not true?"

"There are many flaws when she mentioned that she didn't know her background."

Nicole had no idea why Sally did not want to tell them who the kidnapper was. Nicole could tell clearly
that Sally knew that person quite well, and even knew his background.

This hunch came in a sudden and Nicole was not so certain about it.

Samuel hugged her tightly and kissed her gently on her cold thin lips. "It is a potential risk. If she knows
the kidnapper and she has not taken any actions these years, and she has not even come to see
Edwin, there must be something wrong. Edwin will be in danger if we leave him in the Seapolis City
alone."

Nicole had lost in Samuel's kiss. Then she was shocked by his words.

"Do you mean that she will hurt Grandpa?"

"I don't know. But we cannot take any risks."

Samuel knew that he was a little bit cold-blooded as he put it in this way. But he had no choice. In this
special period, they had to be very careful.

Nicole was in silence.

Neither did Nicole want to surmise Sally's badness, nor to know her dark side. After all, Sally was
Edwin's only daughter left in this world. If it was possible, Nicole really hoped that Sally could spend the
rest of her life with Edwin and stop caring about anything else.

However, Samuel was right. What if Sally wanted to do something to hurt Grandpa?



However, Sally was Edwin's biological daughter. Would Sally really do that?

Nicole did not know what would happen. She was worried, upset, and sad.

"Well, let's wait and see what will happen. Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt Edwin."

Edwin was the one Nicole cared about the most in this world. Samuel would not make Nicole suffer.

They got into the car and drove towards to the Shaw's. Samuel received a phone call.

It was the call from Ernesto.

"Mr. Green, Sally was out. Our people followed her. Instead of going to Laurence's place, she went to
the Don's."

Nicole was stunned instantly after she heard Ernesto's words.

Why did Sally go to the Don's?
