Chapter 1363 It&##x27;s Too Late

"Who are you? How did you get in?"

Derek did not hear what Laurel said. Instead, he was surprised by Nicole's sudden appearance.

This was Santino's secret room. Other than Santino, no one could enter. Who was this woman? How
could she get in?

"I'm the one who will kill you!"

Then Nicole quickly stood up and directly attacked Derek.

The other guards immediately let go of Laurel and surrounded Nicole.

"Catch her!"

Derek was obviously the captain of the team. He quickly moved to defend himself.

Samuel hesitated for a moment. But he couldn't watch Nicole fighting against so many people alone.
He suddenly kicked a guard out on the wall.

"How dare you humiliate the Greens?"

Samuel's voice was ice, which frightened Derek and the guards.

However, when she saw Samuel, Laurel got mixed feelings, her face hidden by her long hair.

Did Samuel see how the guards insult her?

She was just in a position that was so undignified and embarrassing. How could Samuel see it?

Laurel panicked, and she couldn't help but recall what Samuel was like when he was a child.



He liked to be with her and call her mom. Although she was his foster mother, she had feelings for him
since he grew up before her eyes.

She was infertile and had once treated Samuel as her son. If it wasn't for the king's orders, she
wouldn't have harmed Samuel.

But in the end, she was wrong.

She thought that whatever she did to benefit Country F was glorious. She knew it might be unethical
and unforgivable sometimes, but for the sake of the national interest, she would rather disobey the
voice within her. But what did she get?

Her country did not give her the honor she deserved, nor did it give her any reward. She even lost her
dignity and freedom.

She was treated worse than a dog. But she spent two-thirds of her life in the Green's.

She used to be the most respected one of the Green family. Samuel also respected her. All women
envied her. But she had destroyed all of this herself.

Now, it was her foster son and daughter-in-law who came to save her.

Laurel was too ashamed to face them.

Actually, she should have expected this. She was sent to Country Z to set up an intelligence network
when she was twenty years old. The king poisoned her to control her. But he said that he did this to
ensure her loyalty and make the thing go through smoothly. Besides, he said that this matter was of
great importance and he had to be cautious. So, she had to report to the king every month in exchange
for the antidote. She was young, so she believed it.



She didn't know what the poison was made of, but after a long time, she lost her fertility. She could
never be a mother. Therefore, when Leo and Jayden wanted Alice to marry into the Green family and
give birth to a Green, she had no choice but to agree.

She really liked Jadon Green at that time.

Jadon loved her so much that he even put her in charge of the Green family. She had wanted to grow
old with him, but in the end, she harmed him.

No one knew that the last thing she wanted was to hurt Jadon, the only man she loved.

She didn't know that the poison within her was infectious.

She did not know that every time she had sex with him, Jadon would be closer to death.

By the time she found out, Jadon was already dead.

Many nights her pillow was wet with tears. Every time she looked at the empty room and recalled the
time they spent together, her heart would hurt.

Afterward, Alice gave birth to Samuel and Vincent, and Laurel really treated them as her own sons.

After all, they were the children of her beloved. Even if their mother was not her, they were still her
family.

Jayden asked her to spread rumors about Vincent and destroy him. She was merciful and only
expelled Vincent from Seapolis City. So, Vincent survived. She thought she had arranged everything
and there would be no doubt, but Jayden and Leo still knew about it.

Everyone thought that she went abroad because of Vincent's death, but actually, she had been
kidnapped by Leo's people.



She was terrified every time she thought of the punishment she received during the five years. But she
didn't even have a shoulder to cry on.

When Samuel and Nicole met again, Leo began to target Samuel.

Laurel had no choice but to return and continue to be a pawn in Leo's plot. Finally, Samuel and Nicole
figured it out and revealed what she did.

To the Green family, Samuel and Nicole, Laurel was a traitor, but who knew how miserable she had
been?

Then she returned to her homeland. But she was treated so cruelly. She once thought about suicide
but found that she was afraid of death.

If she wasn't afraid of death, she wouldn't have listened to Leo and Jayden from the beginning.

She made her choice, so she could not blame anyone. She thought that she would die in this dark
secret room, but to her surprise, Samuel and Nicole came and even saw her so embarrassed.

Laurel didn't know how to face them. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't. She could only watch as
Samuel and Nicole subdued Derek and the others and tied them up.

Derek was a little scared, but he shouted, "You'd better let me go. I've already informed Mr. Santino. He
will be right back. Let me tell you, my grandfather is a hero who had protected the king. And I am a
sworn brother of Mr. Santino. If anything happens to me, Mr. Santino will show you no mercy."

"Nonsense! There's no way to communicate with the outside world."

Laurel spoke even if she didn't want to.

Samuel's eyes were a little cold.



He took out a dagger from his boots, and the cold light on it made Derek shiver.

"What do you want? I'm warning you, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Samuel cut off one of his hands, the one he used to slap Laurel.

Blood sprayed out on the faces of the others and their faces immediately turned pale.

The room was very soundproof. It was impossible to hear them from outside. Santino designed so to
prevent the outside world from finding it. Now, it was not good for them.

"Sir, please spare me. We can tell you anything you want to know. Don't kill us! Don't!"

There was a state banquet outside. Although they were guards, they knew that Santino was not in the
palace. Even if Samuel dismembered them, no one would know.

Therefore, the guards were frightened.

Derek almost fainted from the pain. Hearing the other guards begging for mercy, he shouted angrily.

"You traitors! Mr. Santino will kill you if he knows!"

"So noisy!"

Nicole frowned and kicked Derek in the chest. That was where he kicked Laurel.

Once again, Laurel's heart was filled with emotion. She whispered, "This person is called Derek. He is
the grandson of the guard leader that Leo trusts the most. He once saved Leo, so all his family was
given the surname "Freeman". The men of his family are responsible for protecting the entire palace
and Country F, and several military talents hold important positions in the military compound. The
women were sent to other countries to gather intelligence, just like me. They always think that they



were superior, but actually, they are just pawns in Leo's plot. Leo never thinks of us as the real Millers. I
can give you the list of the military talents and the women who are in charge of the intelligence network
abroad."

Suddenly, Laurel looked at Samuel.

Derek shouted angrily.

"Laurel, you bitch! You actually dare to betray our country? I should have you drawn and quartered!"

Before he could finish, Laurel slapped him, causing his entire arm to go numb.

"Shut up!"

Laurel's eyes were filled with hatred.

The family she trusted the most and the country that she had given everything for treated her so
cruelly. She was not afraid of losing anything.

Only at this moment did Laurel understand who the most important person in her life was.

Perhaps because she was going to die, the uppermost in her mind was Jadon and the time she spent
in the Green's.

Thanks to Leo, she could be born. But Leo made her life miserable. At the end of her life, she finally
knew what she wanted the most.

She wanted a happy home with many children and occasional care from Samuel. She wanted to
escape from the cold and heartless people in her hometown.

Unfortunately, it was too late. But actually, it wasn't too late.



She could give whatever Samuel wanted.

Only now did Laurel look like the head of the Green family.

When Derek saw Laurel, Laurel had been beaten up by his father. She was thrown here like a dead
dog. So, Derek had always thought that Laurel was weak and they could do anything to her as they
wanted. Now that Laurel collected herself, he was completely dumbfounded.

"You dare to hit me? You bitch, how dare you!"

Before Derek could finish his words, Laurel grabbed the dagger in Samuel's hand and cut off Derek's
tongue.

Laurel had never been weak. Derek could bully her because she was dead inside.
