Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 232

Samuel's face darkened a little bit.

 

He should send Jacob to South Africa to do something.

 

Samuel swallowed hard and covered Nicole with the quilt again. He remembered what a restless sleeper this woman was, so he went to find a pajama and put it on Nicole.

 

“What are you doing? I'm sleepy!"

 

Nicole muttered, pushing Samuel subconsciously. Her cat-like strength was tempting.

 

Samuel swallowed again and whispered, “If you weren't too tired, just wait and see.”

 

Nicole didn't hear his threats. She tilted her head and fell asleep on his shoulder.

 

Samuel was helpless.

 

He just wanted to stay by his wife's side while she was asleep. Why was it so difficult?

 

Samuel sighed and tucked Nicole in before leaving the bedroom.

 

The moment the door opened, Jacob took a step back so that he couldn't see anything inside. Then he said, "Mr. Green, Allen 

went crazy. The clients who cooperated with us are saying they'll withdraw their capital."

 

After all, this was the United States, and it was Allen's world. Many merchants followed Allen's instructions.

 

Although Samuel also had a place in the United States, he was not that outstanding. Besides, Samuel hadn't planned to expand his territory here, so his business here was not so well-known.

 

Now that Samuel was confronting Allen, the Greens’ business was the first to be affected.

 

Samuel's eyes narrowed slightly.

 

"How much can we lose?"

 

“About three hundred million. Money is not the biggest issue. Something is wrong with our western development plan.”

Jacob's voice was a little down. Samuel closed the door. Though he knew Nicole was sleeping, Samuel still whispered so that she was not disturbed, "Go to the study.”

 

"Yes!"

 

They went to the study.

 

Samuel wanted to light a cigarette, but he thought of something and held it in his hand instead.

 

"Tell me what's wrong, in detail.”

 

“Our western development plan was funded by us and operated by the local people and local dealers. Back then, our business in the United States was unstable. And you said we did not intend to expand our market here, so we only cooperated with them.”

 

“I know that.”

 

He hadn't devoted too much energy to his business in the United States. He had been merely an investor but had never expected things would go wrong here.

 

Jacob whispered, “Not long ago, all the suppliers called us and said there was a temporary shortage of supply and our order could only be put on hold. However, the engineering and construction teams had already started working, and they couldn't stop now. Most importantly, there was a death incident.”

 

"What?"

 

Samuel stood up.

 

"What do you mean by a death incident?”

 

"A worker fell off the building during the construction and died on the spot. A large crowd has gathered there now. Many reporters have gone over. Most importantly, the foreman in charge of the construction site has run away. Now that they can’t find the foreman, they can only come to us. After all, we, the Eternal Group, are the developer.”

 

Jacob thought Allen had gone too far this time.

 

There was no need to involve innocent people in their war. Nicole had planned to suppress Allen through public opinion so that he could not attack her and Samuel for the time being, and they could take this opportunity to return home.

 

Charlotte was right. This was Allen's territory. Even if Samuel was a dragon, he couldn't beat Allen easily.

 

Nicole couldn't bear to see Samuel bullied by Allen, nor could she tolerate her family being threatened by him, so she quickly sent everyone away. However, she did not expect Allen would act so quickly and accurately, entangling Samuel with the death on the construction site.

 

If Samuel left the United States now, he would be fleeing for fear of crime. Let alone what the judicial department would do, Samuel, and the Eternal Group behind him, would not pass the judgment by the public.

 

Allen was ruthless this time!

 

He intended to destroy the Eternal Group!

 

Samuel's eyes darkened slightly. He didn’t say anything for a long time.

 

Jacob didn't bother him. After working with Samuel for all these years, he was always in tune with Samuel. He knew Samuel was thinking.

 

After a while, Samuel whispered, "Has anyone gone to deal with it?"

 

"Yes, our manager rushed over immediately after the incident. But he was caught in a car accident and is still in a coma in the hospital.”

 

Jacob‘s words made Samuel's face even darker.

 

"Did it happen just now?"

 

“Not long ago. It was only an hour or so, but it spread very quickly. Now they say the Eternal Group cares little about people's lives. The suppliers are also saying we ordered inferior products to fill in the blanks. They‘re organized. Allen must have set it up. Mr. Green, we ...”

 

"Don't worry.”

 

Samuel looked out of the window and whispered, "Allen has set up a series of schemes for me. Not long ago, he failed to use public opinion to hold me back, but now he wants to use this to oppress me. He is relentless in destroying me. Check if there is any connection between the family of the deceased and Allen's men.”

 

"I'm already investigating. However, the deceased came from a simple background. His family is poor and has nothing to do with Allen.”

 

Jacob was upset.

 

It had been a long time since they encountered such a difficult problem.

Samuel stood up calmly and said, "I'll go there myself.”

 

“Mr. Green, don't. Allen is forcing you to show yourself. If you go over now, those people will tear you apart.”

 

Jacob wanted to stop Samuel.

 

But Samuel stared at him and said, “Do we just watch as it deteriorates? In this society where the Internet is growing fast, everything we do in the United States will affect our reputation back home. Whether Allen set it up or not, its impact on the business world is certain. With such a problem arising, how can I not show up as the person in charge?"

 

“But Allen ...”

 

“Let's see what we can do. After I leave, have someone send my wife back home. No matter what means you use, you must send her back safely.”

 

Samuel made the final decision.

 

Jacob shook his head and said, "I won't leave you.”

 

"Jacob, you know how important Nicole is to me. Send for Lawyer Dupont. No matter what happens, we shall protect the Greens.”

 

Samuel's words made Jacob understand.

 

Although Jacob still had some objections, he realized Samuel had made up his mind. So he turned around and walked out.

 

Not long after, Lawyer Dupont arrived at the villa and met with Samuel.

 

“Long time no see, Mr. Green.”

 

"Me too, Lawyer Dupont.”

 

Samuel shook hands with him and cut to the chase.

 

“I want to transfer all my shares of the group to my wife, Nicole.”

 

Lawyer Dupont was dumbfounded at Samuel's words. He said in a low voice, “Mr. Green, I'm afraid you can't.”

 

"Why?"

 

"Mrs. Green was burned dead five years ago. It was known to everyone in our country. Now Nicole claims to be Mrs. Green, but who can prove it? To put it bluntly, although you have kept Mrs. Green‘s household registration, she has been canceled from the personnel archive.”

 

Lawyer Dupont's words made Samuel frown.

 

“How is that possible? I have always kept my wife's household registration, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't cancel it. How could this happen?"

 

Lawyer Dupont handed over a document that had been signed not long ago to Samuel.

 

“Just a few days ago, Mrs. Green's parents signed to cancel her household registration. The procedure was done. There is no Nicole Green now, let alone your wife. I have also checked. Mrs. Green only has one identity now. She is Catherine, an American. This is her only identity at the moment. Catherine is not married and has nothing to do with you. Therefore, you

are not husband and wife now. Even if you want to give your shares to her, I'm afraid the people from the group will not agree.”

 

After Lawyer Dupont finished his words, Samuel's eyebrows frowned even deeper.

 

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law signed it in person?"

 

"Yes! Just a few days ago!”

 

Samuel remembered the disappearance of Nicole's parents. It turned out that all of this was planned.

 

It was Allen!

 

Allen had Nicole's parents cancel her household registration.

 

This was to make sure he and Nicole no longer had any relationship with each other.

 

But why would Nicole's parents agree?

 

Why did they sign it?

 

Samuel didn't understand.

 

There wasn't much time left for him to think.

 

"Lawyer Dupont, if I marry Catherine now, can we be husband and wife?"

 

Lawyer Dupont nodded and said in a low voice, "But this is the United States. I guess it won't be so easy for you to marry Mrs. Green. After all, you've offended Allen.”

 

This was equivalent to telling Samuel that if he wanted to marry Nicole in the United States, Allen would have set up a trap and waited for them.

 

Samuel had never considered Allen as an opponent, but now he felt he had underestimated Allen.

 

This man wouldn't fight you in the open. He would obtain whatever and whoever he wanted by any means.

 

"Can Catherine marry me abroad?"

 

"Yes, but Mr. Brook seems to have all of Catherine's identity documents.”

 

Lawyer Dupont was telling Samuel that he needed Allen's approval to marry Nicole.

 

After Allen saved Nicole five years ago, he gave her a new identity. At that time, he probably had planned to control Nicole.

 

"Can't I use her ID card?*

 

“Mrs. Green is an American. If you want to marry her, you must have a local authority to prove her identity. The person who proved for Mrs. Green back then was Allen. Therefore, if Mrs. Green wants to get married, she must have Allen present and prove it for her.”

 

When Samuel heard this rule, he was enraged.
