Chapter 227: I Can't Go
Hearing Charlotte's words, Nicole's heart went cold.
It turned out that from the beginning, she had become a thorn in Charlotte, but Charlotte successfully
disguised herself for five years, which made Nicole admire.
“Did you kidnap my parents for Allen?”
Nicole didn't want to hear about the story between Charlotte and Allen.
She always felt that they were innocent, but hearing Charlotte's words, she felt that Allen took
advantage of Charlotte.
So, what was the truth?
She did not know, but she only wanted to know where her parents were.
Charlotte saw that Nicole was not interested in her and Allen’s relationship, which made her at a loss.
“He has a passion for you, but you are so unkind. Nicole, sometimes I feel that you are stonyhearted.”
“You are not me. How do you know my feeling? I am grateful to Allen for saving me five years ago, and
I am grateful to you for your plastic surgery. However, this does not mean that I must accept all your
emotions. To put it bluntly, I didn't ask Allen to like me, nor did I force you to be friends with me. You
think you treat me well? I really think you're good. I remember your
kindness. But what are you telling me now? All of these were fake! So, what's real? Charlotte, have you
ever been sincere towards me in the past five years? You know how I treat you, and you see how I
treat Allen. I'm afraid I can’t respond to his feelings. I can only work hard to create more wealth for him.
I have my own way of repaying your kindness, and I don't have to betray my feelings, do I?”
Nicole didn’t want to say this, but seeing Charlotte's persistence, she couldn't help but sigh softly and
said it.
Charlotte was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, “Sometimes I envy you. You always know
what you need and what you need to keep. Unlike me, I lose myself for a man.”
Did she confess now?
Nicole didn't know, but she was anxious.
“How can I see my parents?”
Nicole looked at Charlotte and was not interested in her words.
Charlotte smiled bitterly, “It is Allen’s idea to kidnap your parents. He wants to use your parents to
control you. Besides him, the person who knows all about your life for the past five years is me. He
can't be the villain, so I can only do it.”
“So, you were the one who called my parents and asked them to apply for passports to go abroad?”
Nicole suddenly understood.
She thought it was Zac, but it was not. At that time, she thought it was strange. Who would have known
about her and her parents so well?
It was Charlotte!
It was Allen's idea!
In other words, Allen had been planning since then.
Asking her go back to find Samuel for the matching of Zoe was just an excuse.
He was afraid that Nicole would not come back and that Nicole and Samuel would reignite the past
feelings, so he wanted to control Nicole by her parents.
However, he did not expect that she and Samuel would destroy that plan. In order to let her parents
stay, she almost confessed her identity.
Only Charlotte and Allen knew her like that.
Even if she knew that her parents were lured abroad, Nicole did not dare to confess to her parents at
that time. Being kept in the dark, her parents were easier to be lured, wasn't it?
“What did you do to them?”
Nicole's eyes turned cold.
Being betrayed by someone closest was already unbearable. Now, the feeling of being schemed made
her even more furious.
Now, Nicole did not need to hide anything.
She picked up her teacup and took a sip of her tea, “I told you, we didn’t do anything to them. The
photos you saw were all synthetic. Don't you know that? However, worries would cause chaos. At first,
Allen's idea was to control your parents and let you return to his side. If you stay with him, it doesn’t
matter that you don't like him, but I've changed my mind.”
“What do you mean?”
Nicole could tell that Charlotte and Allen were at odds.
Charlotte whispered, “I like Allen. I've always wanted him. Over the past five years, I've refused all my
suitors because I can only be Allen's wife. That's why I won't let you ruin my plan.”
“You want to kill me?”
Nicole was shocked.
Was she still the Charlotte she knew?
Although their feelings of the past five years might be fake, could she really kill her?
Looking at Nicole's surprised expression, Charlotte smiled bitterly, “In your heart, am I such person
now?"
“No, I'm just a little surprised.”
After calmed down, Nicole realized that her performance was too outstanding.
Charlotte liked Allen, but she knew about it now.
They did not talk a long time. Charlotte silently drank the tea, but she could no longer feel the taste of
the tea.
It turned out that once the mood changed, we could not find how it used to feel.
Charlotte put down her teacup and whispered, “Charlotte, leave here. Go back to the Seapolis City with
your parents, your husband, and children. Don't come to America anymore, okay?”
Nicole was stunned again.
She raised her head and saw the pain in Charlotte’s eyes. Suddenly, she was sad.
“Do you really want to put all your eggs in one basket?”
"Do I have other choices? Once I fell in love with Allen, I had no way out. I know he likes you, and he's
been crazy for you all these years, but I can’t help but want to follow him. Now that you've found your
lover and your children, why don’t you go back? What are you doing in America? No matter what, this
was Allen's area. No matter how powerful Samuel was, he couldn't develop well here. You will never
know Allen's background. Today, I kidnapped your parents, and lured you here. This was Allen's
scheme. He even used some media to stall Samuel, did you know? His men will be here soon, and you
cannot leave even if you want to.”
Charlotte rarely said so much.
Nicole whispered, “If you let me go, what will Allen do to you?”
“Don't worry about that. I have methods, but we cannot contact each other from now on. We are
broken.”
“For aman?"
Nicole felt very uncomfortable.
She had feelings for Nicole.
Nicole hurriedly turned her head away.
“Yes, for aman. Sometimes, women’s friendship was quite ridiculous. No matter how strong and good
she said it was, the friendship would become fragile for a man. I am an orphan since I was young, and I
earned all the achievements I have today. Therefore, I will not give up the man I like, nor will I give up
my future. The five years between us have come to an end.”
Charlotte took a deep breath, then got up and walked into the room.
Nicole didn’t feel good, but she knew that it was useless to say more now. She couldn't stay here for
long, because Samuel might need her support, while she didn't know her parents’ situation.
She quickly followed Charlotte to a room.
“Dad, Mom-”
When Nicole saw her parents, she was very worried. They lay motionless on the bed, which frightened
Nicole.
Charlotte stopped her.
“Don't worry, they are temporarily asleep. I calmed them down and will wake up after a while. I have
already arranged the boat. You can leave first. Samuel and your children will be sent out later.”
Charlotte's words caused Nicole to be slightly stunned.
“Why I must go now? My daughter can't leave here now! She can't take the journey. Besides, if she
finds out I'm not here, she'll cry!”
“Nicole, I'm not negotiating with you. If you don't leave, all of you will die here. Except you, your
parents, your husband, and your children, they will die!”
Charlotte's words shocked Nicole.
“What is Allen going to do? What is he going to do?”
“Don't you understand what he’s going to do? He wants you! Other than you, he would not let go
everyone in the Green family, including your child. Samuel came here from the Seapolis City to trouble
him. He even wants to force the Brook family to submit. This is an insult to the Brook family and a
challenge to Allen. How can you naively think that Allen is as gentle
and elegant as he looks? He is the eagle in business. He can't let the Green family survive because he
wants you. Do you think he will be at ease if the Green family is still alive?”
Charlotte suddenly raised her voice.
Nicole felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
“No! He won't! He won't! He watched Zoe grow up. He...”
“Yes, he watched Zoe grow up, but didn't he still inject morphine into her?”
Charlotte's words were a big blow.
She had tried to forget this matter and refused to face it. She didn't expect that the time had finally
come when she had to face it.
However, Charlotte did not care what Nicole was thinking. She said coldly, “There's a boat behind. You
go with them first. Go!”
“I'm not leaving! I can't leave either!”
Nicole suddenly became firm.
“Are you crazy?”
“Charlotte, I know that you are doing this for me. I also know that you don't want to hurt my parents, but
I know that if I leave, Allen will not let Samuel go, nor will he let my children go. You just want to put me
at ease by saying that you will bring them out. You know what Allen will do, don't you?”
Nicole’s questioning caused Charlotte's face darken.
that you've found your lover and your children, why don’t you go back? What are you doing in
America? No matter what, this was Allen's area. No matter how powerful Samuel was, he couldn't
develop well here. You will never know Allen's background. Today, I kidnapped your parents, and lured
you here. This was Allen's scheme. He even used some media to stall Samuel, did you know? His men

I know that if I leave, Allen will not let Samuel go, nor will he let my children go. You just want to put me
at ease by saying that you will bring them out. You know what Allen will do, don't you?”
Nicole’s questioning caused Charlotte's face darken.
She quickly carried Ms. Bush on her back and walked out.
Finn had already entered. When he saw Nicole, he hurriedly stepped forward to help.
“Lady Green, let me do it.”
“My father was inside. Get him out first and let our men retreat quickly.”
Charlotte did not know when Allen would return, nor did she know when his men would arrive, so she
could not stay.
Finn glanced at Charlotte, who was lying in blood, and asked with a frown, “What about this woman?”
“Leave her here. Someone will help her.”
Nicole quickly brought people out.
Finn brought them into the car and quickly left.
Before leaving, Nicole sent a message to Allen.
“Charlotte is injured and is in danger.”
After sending it, she threw away the phone card.
This time, she completely threw away all her feelings for Allen, as if she had thrown away this phone
card.
Naturally, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't care about it.
The car quickly drove back to the sanatorium. Nicole asked the doctor to check her parents.
Viola couldn't help but feel puzzled when she saw that Nicole had returned with the two old people and
that there was no one else beside her.
“Where did you bring back them by yourself? Who are they to you?”
Nicole was not in the mood to pay attention to Viola. She said to Jacob, “Hurry up and find Samuel. He
might need help.”
At this time, she could not leave here, so she could only let Jacob go.
When Viola heard that Samuel needed help, her eyes immediately lit up.
“What happened to Samuel? I'll go too!”
Seeing Viola acting like this, Nicole was depressed to death.
Jacob was worried about their safety, but Nicole said it was fine and told him to go quickly.
Knowing that Nicole had other plans, Jacob ran out without stopping.
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief when the doctor checked her parents and confirmed that they were
injected with calm and didn’t have other problem.
Not long after, they woke up.
They were surprised by the unfamiliar environment.
“Mom and Dad, are you awake? Do you feel uncomfortable?”
Nicole hurriedly asked and pulled their attention back.
“Nicole?”
Ms. Bush could no hide her passion for Nicole any more.
They knew how difficult, and how much pain and grievance Nicole had suffered in the past five years
from Charlotte. Now that they could see Nicole again, Ms. Bush hugged her tightly and refused to let
her go no matter what she said.
Nicole’s mood was complicated. She never thought that one day her parents would know everything in
this way.
“Mom and Dad, I’m sorry. I made you suffer from being wronged by me.”
Nicole's eyes were wet.
Dad Bush saw that Nicole was safe and sound, he sighed and said, “We received news that you were
being sold to the United States. Your mother and I rushed over without stopping. Who knew that your
friend received us as soon as we arrived and tell us to wait for news in her house and she would help
us? We don't have any leads in America, we can only trust her. Besides, she knows everything you've
done in the past five years, so we ..."
“We didn’t know that we were used by her until we heard that she called you for the kidnapping,” Dad
Bush sighed again,
“Nicole, are you alright?”
“I'm fine, Dad. Samuel is protecting me. On the contrary, you had suffered a lot. I know you are tired
now, but what I want to say is that I want you to leave here immediately and return home. After
returning home, Jason and Tim will protect you and I will be at ease.”
Nicole's arrangement caused them to be slightly stunned.
“Nicole, what are you doing?”
