Chapter 1173 Why Would She Do That?

"Nicole?"

The first one Samuel thought of was Nicole.

He quickly ran out and saw Nicole standing at the door of the studio with a pale face. Obviously, she
heard the conversation between Jason and Samuel, and the white teacup beneath her feet had
shattered.

"Don't move. Leave it to me."

Samuel was a little worried. He hurriedly shouted, then carried Nicole up and directly put her down on
the sofa in the living room.

Nicole was a little dumbfounded.

The news just now was too shocking.

She was just a little thirsty. After getting up, she didn't see Samuel and came down. She wanted to
come over to take a look when she saw the lights on, but she didn't expect to hear such shocking
news.

Second uncle?

It seemed that she had not heard of or seen this person in the Don's for a long time.

She had always felt that there was something missing, but now she realized that Second uncle was
missing.

That was right. Dad was the big brother. Mark was the third brother and Jason was the youngest
brother. Where was the second brother?



She had always thought that the Don family was a martyr's family. In the past, everyone had said that
the second brother of the Don family had died on the battlefield. Even Jason injured both of his legs
before retirement. Therefore, she naturally thought that her second uncle was also a martyr and had
also sacrificed died like her father. Only now did she know that her father was the only martyr in the
Don family.

It made Nicole feel very bad.

It wasn't that her second uncle was still alive that made her sad, but because Mark, Jason and her
second uncle were all alive, and only her father had become a martyr. It made her feel sad. Moreover,
when she heard the complicated love story among her father, her mother, her second uncle and her
aunt, she felt even sadder.

Samuel was afraid that the glass fragments would hurt Nicole, so he put her down on the sofa and said
softly, "Sit down for a while. I'll go clean up the fragments. Don't think too much. What's done is done.
It's good that we know the truth. We have no right to judge. I know you fell ached for your father, but
now I fell ached for you, understand?"

Nicole looked at the worried man in front of her. Her uncomfortable heart was slowly filled with warmth.
She was deeply touched, and then she nodded.

Seeing her feel better, Samuel got up and went to find a broom to clean up the glass fragments.

At this time, the servants were asleep, and there was no need to wake them up for the glass fragments.

Seeing that Nicole heard this, Jason couldn't help but sigh as he came out of the studio on his
wheelchair.

"Nicole, I don't want you to know about these things."



"But I still have the right to know, Jason."

Nicole looked at Jason.

She could feel Jason's sadness, but she didn't know what else Jason was hiding.

Just now, Samuel's questioning was very sharp, but Jason did not answer. It could be seen that some
things were true.

For example, the second uncle was still alive.

For example, the second uncle was now in Country F.

This kind of news was a shock to Nicole.

Most importantly, Samuel said, "Second uncle's status in Country F shouldn't be low, right?"

Not low status?

What status?

King?

Thinking of this possibility, Nicole's body shrank slightly.

Was it possible?

Was Zayn her second uncle's child?

Nicole was shocked by her own guess. She felt that it might be possible or not.

Jason looked at Nicole's face and fell silent for a moment.



Nicole had the right to know, but there were some things he really didn't want to say.

Samuel came back after cleaning up the glass fragments.

Seeing that Nicole was wearing thin clothes, he went upstairs and took out his coat to put it on Nicole's
body.

Samuel glanced at Jason and said indifferently, "Jason, what else do you want to say tonight? It is too
cold. You know Nicole health condition. She can't stand it."

He was somewhat blaming Jason.

Jason glanced at Nicole and knew that she really wanted to know the truth, but he couldn't say
anything.

"If you're not well, go back to your room and get some rest. I just suddenly remembered my second
brother, so I came to the studio to take a look. I know what you want to know, but I would naturally let
you know if I could. I can't tell you the things that you should not know. Go and rest early."

With that, Jason left on his wheelchair.

"Uncle Jason."

Nicole wanted to ask something but was stopped by Samuel.

"It's useless for you to ask if he doesn't want to say. Didn't you fall asleep? Why did you suddenly come
down? Your hands are so cold. I'll carry you up."

With that, Samuel carried Nicole upstairs.

Back in the bedroom, Nicole's mood was still not good.



"I always thought that my father left my mother to join the army because of my grandfather's death. I
also complained about my father. Joining the army for my grandfather seemed to be to protect our
family and our country, but wasn't it cruel to my mother? But he was my father. Now that he was gone,
what can I say? In the end, Mom chose to die with him in the fire. She even wanted to die with him, so I
no longer resented him. But I didn't expect things were so complicated until I heard Jason's words
today."

Nicole's mood was very bad.

She was a woman and a daughter. She had always been ached for Audrey's rough life. She
complained about Xander leaving Audrey to join the army in her heart, but she kept silent.

It was a form of respect for her dead father.

However, he did not expect that everything would turn out like this.

Xander was also extremely sad back then, wasn't he?

The woman he wholeheartedly loved, however, turned out to have a relationship with his second
brother. On one side was his own younger brother, while on the other side was the woman he deeply
loved. How sad should he feel? But what could he do?

He thought that it would be a happy ending if he left, but he didn't expect that the person his second
brother loved was someone else.

At that time, Xander had joined the army with despair, so he didn't fear of dangerous missions. Perhaps
he wished he was dead back then.

Without these troublesome matters, he would not have been schemed by others at such a young age
and would not have died so young.



Nicole was a little resentful.

But who should she hate?

The people who kidnapped her aunt back then?

Or the misguided guidance of fate?

Nicole didn't know, but she felt her heart hurt so much.

She could still recall the last look her mother gave her. It was a kind of obsession with love, a love for
her father.

A pair of lovers who were deeply in love with each other separated for a lifetime because of a mishap.

This kind of sadness enveloped Nicole, making her want to cry.

Samuel knew what his wife remembered and hugged her in his arms with great distress.

"Don't be sad. We can't bring dead back to life. There is nothing we can do about it. Today, after all, we
know about their relationship. Nicole, I know you love your mother, but she and your father are gone.
We can't judge their love. The only thing we can do is to live a good life and make them happy. That's
what they wanted to see the most."

"I know, but I feel bad in my heart. There was no third one between my dad and mom, but they were
separated. My dad didn't even know that he had a daughter like me until death. My mom had blamed
my dad, otherwise she wouldn't have given me to Mr. and Mrs. Bush right after I was born. But they
loved each other deeply, didn't they?"

Nicole's eyes were somewhat moist and swollen.



Seeing that his wife was still sad, Samuel couldn't help but hold her face, slowly kissed her forehead
and said softly, "It's all over, Nicole."

"I know."

Nicole lowered her eyelids and did not stop Samuel from kissing her, but somehow, she wanted to cry.

"Why? Why is this happening? I always wanted to have some kinship, but why do they always make
me feel sad?"

"Don't think about it."

Samuel also felt heartache for Nicole.

Nicole shook her head and finally shed tears.

"Sally did it on purpose, didn't she?"

She was haggard and painful when she said that.

Nicole was smart, and Samuel always knew that.

If Nicole hadn't appeared, he would have asked Jason the same question.

There were not so many coincidences in the world.

There might be one or two of them, but it was no coincidence that so many coincidences were
combined.

They didn't know why second uncle went abroad back then, but it was a coincidence that he met Sally
after going abroad.



After returning home, her second uncle saw Xander and Audrey together and thought that Audrey was
Sally. It couldn't be flawless.

However, her second uncle, Xander, and Audrey didn't notice this flaw. This was a big flaw, wasn't it?

Later, Nicole's second uncle went abroad and met Sally again. Samuel did not believe that Nicole's
second uncle would not mention anything about meeting Audrey and Xander at home.

If second uncle asked, Sally would definitely know that there was a woman in the country who looked
exactly like her. Normally, if a woman knew that there was a woman identical to her, she would
definitely go back to check and even investigate, right?

But what did Jason say?

He said that Nicole's second uncle and Sally didn't mention anything about Xander and Audrey.

Under such circumstances, one possibility was that Nicole's second uncle asked about it. Sally knew
about Audrey's existence, but she hid it from him and deceived him with flashy words, making him
unable to find out the truth. Another possibility was the second uncle had discovered something wrong,
but he didn't say anything.

However, Samuel could not think of any reason why Nicole second uncle had discovered that Sally and
Audrey were twin sisters but did not say anything.

He forced his own brother to break up with Audrey, forced his own brother to join the army, and
watched his own brother die on the battlefield. What could he get from that?

Nothing!

So, the most possible scenario was the first possibility.



Sally concealed this from second uncle, causing these misunderstandings to occur. One thing led to
another. Audrey and Xander broke up, and Xander was forced to join the army.

But why would she do that?

Even if she didn't regard Audrey as her sister, why did she force Xander to join the army?

How did Xander die on his mission?

Samuel suddenly thought of something and trembled.

It was because of Nicole's second uncle.

Could it be that Sally had something to do with him?

Thinking about the identities of Una and Lillian, who seemed to be related to the king of Country F,
Samuel's body instantly turned cold.
