Chapter 1144 Can You Take a Stand

Nicole looked at the screen and zoomed in. Then Zac's face appeared clearly on the screen.

Zac?

Nicole was a little depressed.

Why would he do that?

Could it be for Petty?

Nicole frowned tightly.

Her fingers unconsciously tapped on the table as her thoughts drifted away...

Something must have been wrong!

It was impossible for Zac to betray Samuel, let alone take her life!

So what was going on?

Zac had grown up with Samuel, so he must know Samuel's computer level. Moreover, with Lucas
there, even if he had really done this, he would not have made such a low-level mistake that he had
actually deleted the video!

If it was really Zac, he should have in advance turned off the video surveillance or found a corner to do
it, but he hadn't!

Then it was only logical that Zac had also been used!

And that guy must be not familiar with the surveillance of the Green's, so he had made such a low-level
mistake.



So who was this guy?

It couldn't be the servants of the Green family. After all, it had been a long time since these servants
had been changed.

Nicole fell into deep thoughts.

Then it was very likely that it was an outsider. However, the people who had come to the Green's these
past few days were all acquaintances, Evelyn, Tim and the Dons. However, these people wouldn't be
the guy who wanted to take the lives of her and Samuel.

Nicole was puzzled.

Then she decided to call Zac.

After the call was connected, Nicole suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Hey, Nicole, what's wrong?"

Zac took the initiative to speak.

He sounded calm, not like a guilty man.

Nicole coughed and asked, "Why did you go to the garage yesterday afternoon?"

"There was something wrong with my car, so I went to see if it would be better after cooling the engine
down. What's wrong?"

Nicole was surprised.

"Your car broke down?"



"Not that bad. It's just that the engine's sound was strange. I think it's probably because of the high
temperature, so I didn't send it to the repair store immediately. I tried cooling it down so that if I could fix
it myself, I wouldn't need to send it to the repair store. After all, the maintenance fee was not cheap.
Besides, the New Year is coming, so I would have to queue up for maintenance. It's not convenient."

Zac's words caught Nicole's attention.

"The engine temperature is too high? Where did you go? Did you go into the mountain?"

Zac paused for a moment before whispering, "I went to see Petty."

Nicole was surprised.

Zac and Petty had a deep affection for each other. No matter what Petty had done to Zac, Zac would
always have Petty in his heart.

If Petty hadn't gone too far this time, Zac might have done something for Petty.

"Did you see her?"

"No, they wouldn't let me."

Zac felt upset.

Nicole knew that Petty was pregnant with Zac's child, so he must be worried.

"I'll ask Samuel for help to see if he can get you to see each other."

Nicole said indifferently.

Zac suddenly choked.



"Nicole, Petty treated you like this, but you are still so nice to us. I'm ashamed."

"What are you talking about? We are a family. Even if Petty made a mistake, she is punished now. And
it's not your or the baby's fault after all, right?"

Zac was moved.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Listen, I have something to ask you."

Nicole said directly, "Samuel and I drove out and the car exploded today. There was a time bomb in the
car. We checked the surveillance video. Some was deleted and Lucas managed to fix it. You were the
only one who entered the garage in the video."

Zac was stunned. Then, he realized something and hurriedly said, "It's not me. I wouldn't do such a
thing. You and Samuel gave me shares in the company. Even if I don't work, I can gain a big amount of
money every year. Why would I want to blow you up? I know I can't run the company. Then who will
raise my children?"

"I believe you."

Zac sounded urgent, and Nicole could tell from it that he was telling the truth.

Zac felt more at ease.

"Nicole, I didn't bring anyone back. I was just afraid that the engine wouldn't work, so I went to a small
shop nearby to buy a measuring instrument. I promise I didn't bring anything else into the garage."

Zac used to have a harsh life. Even after he had been adopted by the Greens, he had been trained as
a bodyguard with a fixed monthly income. So he would not directly leave the car to the repair store if



there was a problem. He would first see if he could repair it. If he could, it would save him a lot of
money.

Even if Zac had shares now, his frugal habits over the years would not change for a while, so it wasn't
strange for Zac to do so when he found something wrong with his car.

"A small repair shop nearby? Where is it?"

"It's where the main road turns left."

Nicole frowned slightly.

Why couldn't she recall such a shop there?

"Do you still remember the location?"

"Of course."

"I'll send you a location. Come pick me up. Let's go take a look."

After saying that, Nicole hung up the phone and sent her location to Zac.

Samuel and Lucas have been busy all this time. Samuel had texted her once. Nicole had texted him
back and told him to take care of there and everything was fine at home.

When she changed her clothes and walked out of the room, she happened to meet Tim and Evelyn.

"What are you doing?"

Tim frowned slightly.



The explosion was so sensational. It was obvious that someone wanted to kill Nicole or Samuel. Why
would she even want to go out now?

Was she out of her mind?

Although Tim did not say it out loud, his eyes and expression were expressing his thoughts.

"I'm going out to do something," Nicole smiled dryly.

"You are not allowed to go out no matter what. Wait till Samuel returns."

Tim had someone close the door directly.

"Please, I called Zac to pick me up. I really have to do this."

Nicole kept blinking at Evelyn, hoping that Evelyn could help her out. However, Evelyn said directly, "I
won't help you. Tim is right. The situation outside remains unknown, so you'd better stay at home."

"You know what? You two make a good couple. Evelyn, aren't you afraid that Tim won't listen to you
anymore if you keep spoiling him?"

Nicole roared dejectedly.

Tim said calmly, "Samuel dotes on you always. I don't see you ignore him. However, it seems that
you're the dictator in your family."

"Oh, come on! I really have something to do. Just let me out."

Nicole never thought that one day she would be "grounded" by Tim.

What a bastard!



"I don't care. Anyway, you can't go out. If you don't listen, I don't mind having Steve knock you out so
that you can rest for a while longer."

"How dare you!"

"Try me."

Nicole and Tim stared at each other like fighting cocks.

Mr. Shaw heard their noise and walked out.

"What's going on? The New Year is coming soon, can you two just stop and let me have a break?"

"Grandpa, he won't let me go out."

Nicole ran over and shook Mr. Shaw's arm, full of grievances.

Mr. Shaw looked at Nicole and whispered, "I won't let you go out either."

"Grandpa, how can you do this to me? I'm going for the evidence now. I can't sit here waiting for the
guy to stumble on us just like that. The New Year is coming soon. Don't you want to have a peaceful
holiday? Besides, Tim is going to have a wedding soon. We can't afford any coincidence now."

Nicole said.

However, Tim said indifferently, "You don't need to worry about me. You just need to protect yourself.
Anyway, you can't leave here. Why did Samuel send you here? It's because the security measures
here are good and ordinary people can't get in. If you left and something happened to you, how could I
explain it to Samuel and Lucas?"

Nicole found it strange.



"When did you become so close to Samuel?"

"We don't like each other, but we have the same thoughts when it comes to you and the children. So
don't waste your time. Even if Grandpa says yes, I won't agree."

Tim's attitude was very firm.

Nicole had never seen Tim so determined, but she knew Tim very well. Once he made up his mind, no
one could change it.

What should she do?

Seeing that the clues were right there but she couldn't investigate it, Nicole felt so anxious.

"Grandpa ..."

She could only beg Edwin.

Tim glanced at Edwin and said indifferently, "Grandpa, I remember you asked me how I want to
arrange the wedding so that I will be happy."

"Have you got the idea?"

"Yes, as long as Nicole doesn't leave this place before the wedding, I will be happy. Otherwise, I don't
mind canceling the wedding."

Nicole was immediately infuriated.

"What's wrong with you? Even if you don't want to have the wedding, what about Evelyn? What about
the Masons?"

"It doesn't matter. I'll do whatever Tim says."



Nicole was stunned.

"Evelyn, can you take a stand?"

"No. I just want my husband to be happy. Besides, he is not wrong."

Nicole wanted to cry.

Right at this moment, the sound of a car engine came from outside. Nicole knew that it was Zac.

But what if grandpa and Tim wouldn't let her go out anyway?

Nicole almost cried out.
