Chapter 1353 I Have As Much As She Does

"Alright."

Nicole, who had been feeling a little depressed for a few days because of Phoenix's existence, finally
heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing his wife like this, Samuel was relieved and felt heartache.

She didn't have to endure all of this, but because of him, she did.

Nicole was excited and did not see the guilt flashing through Samuel's eyes. She quickly ran to Yanice
to inform her.

Samuel took the opportunity to go to Phoenix's place.

Seeing Samuel come, Phoenix was surprised, but she was also delighted. It was mainly because
Samuel met her alone, which made her fantasy run wild.

Samuel could see her joy, but he said coldly, "Phoenix, I only came here with one sentence."

"Mr. Green, go ahead."

"I will not forget your kindness to me. If there is a need, I can pay my life for it. However, Nicole is my
bottom line. Don't hurt her."

These words completely erased Phoenix's joy.

"Is Mr. Green here to say this to me?"

"Otherwise?"



Samuel took out a cigarette but did not light it. Instead, he placed it between his fingers and fiddled with
it. His gaze at Phoenix became harsh.

"Although I don't want to think of you like this, I know what tricks people will play when at the imperial
palace. Tomorrow, Leo will invite everyone to the banquet to rope in Davon. You'd better not make a
move on Nicole. She is the woman I love the most. I can give up many things in my life, even if it
means I have to be an ingrate, I will not hesitate. The only thing I want is her safety. We've been
siblings for so many years, and I don't want to have a grudge with you over this. Phoenix, you are a
smart person. A smart person shouldn't do stupid things. I can forgive you for doing some things once,
but if I see them again, our friendship will come to an end."

Samuel's words turned Phoenix's body cold, and she even felt embarrassed when she was seen
through by him.

"Mr. Green, you've never said such harsh words to me before. Is it because of that Nicole? What's so
good about her?"

"You will find her a good person as time passes as long as you are willing to pay attention to get along
with her. Phoenix, I don't like every woman who is good at sex. You know who I am. If it weren't for my
willingness, even if she has had sex with me, I won't keep her living until now. Moreover, she is from
the Don family and the Shaw family. If you want to deal with her, you'd better think about the power
behind her. Otherwise, you will burn yourself. "

Samuel was unwilling to hurt Phoenix, and he had given her the greatest tolerance. If it weren't for the
fact that he owed her, if it weren't for their years of friendship, there would be no need for him to come
here and say so many things.

Phoenix thought otherwise.



"Mr. Green, are you with her because of the power behind her? If it comes to power, I have as much as
she does."

"Phoenix! Can't you let go of your obsession? My heart is very small, so small that I can only
accommodate one person. Right now, that person is Nicole. If something really happens to her, I will
feel guilty for my entire life. I will definitely not change because of others. Let me be honest with you. I
was the one falling for Nicole. Back then, she was set up at the banquet. It was because that person
was her that I drank the drugged wine and married her for a reason. But after the marriage, I was busy
with my work and felt that I had gotten her, so I didn't care much about her. That was why she was
framed and took my children away. We've been apart for five years, and I won't allow it to happen
again. If the one who hurt her is you, I might not do anything to you, but I will never forgive you."

With that, Samuel turned around and left.

He had said everything he wanted to say. The rest would be up to Phoenix. He believed that Phoenix
would figure it out.

Phoenix felt as if she had fallen into a freezing room and felt cold from the bottom of her heart.

She had always thought that Nicole was a loose woman, but she didn't expect that Samuel was the first
to be moved.

It turned out that because it was her, everything he had done was correct, and he was even willing to
keep the mistakes for his entire life. Then, what about her insistence and persistence over the years?

Phoenix suddenly laughed.

She laughed and cried.

She felt that she was so stupid, and this was the first time she realized how cruel Samuel was.



If she could be the woman in Samuel's heart, she would be doted on in all sorts of ways by him.
However, she was not that person, so she would be so sad after feeling Samuel's cruelty.

In the end, saving his life was nothing when compared to love.

He said Nicole was his bottom line. Then, what about the bottom line of hers?

She abandoned her kindness and conscience for an illusionary obsession. She felt that she did not
even recognize herself.

Phoenix hugged herself and cried hard, but she kept her voice low, afraid that others would hear it.

She knew that her and Samuel couldn't live together forever.

Samuel would never come to her alone for affairs. She had dealt with women beside Samuel before,
but he just turned a blind eye to it and allowed her to do whatever she wanted. She thought that she
would eventually become his woman. She thought that it was Samuel's tacit approval and recognition
to her.

Samuel had never cared about her imagination and speculation. Once he did, he could even sense a
small detail and came to her.

Was this the difference between love and friendship?

It turned out that being rejected by someone she deeply loved was such an embarrassing,
uncomfortable, and heartbreaking thing.

Phoenix was jealous and reluctant, but at this moment, she retained some rationality.

Samuel repeatedly warned her that Nicole was his bottom line, which meant that he knew everything
about the matter at the Mysterious Entrance!



After confirming this guess, Phoenix suddenly paused and immediately felt that she was like a clown.

After crying for a while, she wiped away her tears and called for Helen.

"Princess, are you looking for me?"

"Cancel tomorrow's plan."

As soon as Phoenix said those words, Helen was stunned.

"Princess, why? As long as we get rid of that Nicole, Mr. Green will probably..."

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Or are you in charge now? I said, cancel the plan! Not only
that, send someone to protect Nicole and prevent anyone from hurting her while she's in Country F."

At this moment, Phoenix was frighteningly calm.

Although Helen was puzzled, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She hurriedly agreed and left.

The corner of Phoenix's lips curled into a bitter smile.

In the end, it was because of Samuel's warning that she gave up the idea of hurting Nicole.

So what if she was unwilling?

That was the woman in Samuel's heart.

He said that if anything happened to Nicole, he would feel uneasy and guilty for the rest of his life. She
loved him so much, so how could she let him spend the rest of his life like this?

If other men said this, she might think it was just an excuse, but she believed in Samuel's words.



After so many years of persistence and waiting, how could she make such an arrogant man look so
bad?

Just thinking about it, Phoenix felt that she could not take it.

Actually, some things only took an instant to figure out.

Once obsession ceased, many things could be seen clearly. For example, Samuel had lived like a
walking dead after losing Nicole for five years.

Phoenix knew it, and she wanted to be with him. She even thought about whether she would become
his woman after going through that period with him. But at that time, Fill said that Samuel didn't allow
anyone to go to him, otherwise, he would be rude.

At that time, Phoenix had someone collect all the movements of Samuel during that period.

In the past, because of her obsession, she had always hated Nicole's death, but now that she thought
about it, how could she not understand Samuel's feelings for Nicole at that time?

She knew and understood many things that happened thereafter. She was just blinded by jealousy.
She would rather believe that all of this was Nicole's scheme than believe that the man she liked would
do such a thing for a woman.

Although she had figured it out, Phoenix felt that her heart was empty. There was even a sense of
desolation and sadness spreading from the bottom of her heart.

She ordered someone to fetch her wine and she drank it alone.

The spicy liquid assaulted her throat. She didn't know if the wine was too spicy or if it was because her
heart was too bitter, she started crying again.



Ever since she was young, she had been an unfavored princess. Her mother was just a maid. She was
the consequence of her mother being raped by Leo when he was drunk.

In Leo's eyes, she was born lowly. She could not attend decent events, but he did not want to end her
life. Therefore, he allowed his other siblings and even those women to bully her and her mother.

Her mother died tragically in this cold palace to protect her. She almost lost her life. It was her wet
nurse who had risked her life to protect her and got her out of the country.

If it wasn't for Samuel, she wouldn't know what she would look like right now.

From then on, Samuel became her mental support. Marrying Samuel had become the motivation for
Phoenix's life. Now that the motivation had disappeared, she did not know what the meaning of her life
was.

It was a mistake for her to come to this world, but she couldn't feel resentful. After all, her mother was
sadder than her.

But now, she realized that after so many years of hard work, she did not have a close friend around
her, not even a single person to speak to.

How pathetic!

How pitiful!

Phoenix laughed loudly like a madwoman, tears flowing wildly.

She was cold and arrogant. She seemed to be more carefree than anyone else, but only she knew that
this was just to conceal her inferiority.



Now that this illusion had been exposed by Samuel, her heart was in extreme pain. In this world, there
was probably no man like Samuel who could move her.

Since Nicole was what he wanted, then she would protect her. At least he would remember her
kindness, right?

Thinking of this, Phoenix bitterly smiled. However, that smile could hurt everyone's heart when they
saw it.

Someone sighed.

Phoenix was on alert.
