“Raise your head!”
Nicole’s voice was not loud but full of dignity.
The maid was startled. Then she tossed the things from her hands towards Nicole.
Nicole subconsciously blocked them and cried out immediately, “Get that woman!”
The woman pushed the window open and escaped. The guards rushed to follow her.
Upon hearing her cry, Samuel and others rushed over.
“What happened?”
He pulled Nicole over, carefully checking if she had any injury.
Nicole shook her head and said, “I’m fine. Just now, a maid was going to find Laurence, and I found it.”
“Laurence?”
Samuel squinted slightly. Olivia and Booth also rushed out of the room. Upon hearing what Nicole said, they were slightly taken aback.
“Was it Cara?”
Olivia had got to know all the stories, so she immediately guessed if it was Cara.
Nicole shook her head.
“No, she wasn’t. I could recognize Cara’s height and figure if it were she. That woman had a hoarse voice, but her height and figure are different from Cara’s.”
“Then who was it?”
All of them were confused about this maid.
Zayn heard that someone with an unknown identity had sneaked into the palace, so he strengthened the security measure. However, that maid seemed to disappear. No one could find any trace of her.
“Anyone would have traces of their actions. This maid could make others fail to find her location and existence. She’s either a maid of this palace or extremely familiar with here.”
Samuel agreed to Tim’s words.
Davon slightly frowned.
“Laurence has almost recovered. Why did the maid come to find him? Was she checking on him or did she want to get anything else from him?”
“No matter what, Laurence can’t continued staying here.”
Tony immediately suggested, “He can move to my house. I don’t think anyone is so bold to break into the Thompson house.”
Others were all taken aback.
Davon smiled and said, “That would work. No one in Country F dared to break into the Thompson house. Unless he or she has a death wish.”
“Why is that?”
Nicole was a bit curious.
Tony said with complacence, “Because we are well-known for poison.”
“Poison from Dior?”
Olivia didn’t understand so she asked. Tony’s mouth corners twitched.
“You are truly a superstar and only know the luxuries. I said the poison, the drug. My house is a manor with all kinds of poisonous plants in front of the door. If the person wasn’t from my family, he or she would blackout after entering for a few meters and then get poisoned.”
Upon hearing it, Nicole widened her eyes.
“That’s so amazing!”
Tim also felt that his words sounded quite inappropriate as soon as he finished them, especially when he met Olivia’s confused and aggrieved eyes. He knew that he had acted recklessly.
Probably it was because he was extremely worried about Jacob.
Now, he couldn’t stand that Jacob’s beloved woman argued with another man without knowing anything. However, Tim also knew that it wasn’t a proper time to let Olivia know Jacob’s news.
Tony didn’t know what was behind it. Upon hearing Tim’s words, he looked annoyed.
“Sorry? Are you a man? Why can’t you think before speaking anything? Do you think we’re still in ancient times when a man and a woman couldn’t talk with each other at all? So what with Olivia and me? We’re buddies and friends. There’s nothing between us. Why? Do you mean she needs to consider the feminine virtue when speaking to me? You just dislike me, don’t you? Or probably you dislike Olivia. If you want a fight, just make it clear.”
Although Tony was quite cheeky usually, when he got serious, he naturally emanated a certain aura.
Tim had already realized that he acted quite recklessly. However, it was because he was worried about Jacob, he was quite annoyed. Now, he had made an apology but Tony still scolded him. The wave of anger surged in Tim’s heart.
“A fight? Think you can win against me?”
“Try me!”
They almost started fighting.
Olivia didn’t know what happened to Tim now, but she didn’t want to cause any trouble right before Zayn’s wedding. She rushed over and pulled Tony back.
“Stop it! Have a clear estimation of yourself. Even three of you together can’t win against him.”
Although it sounded quite normal, Tim couldn’t bear it today. He directly said, “I haven’t done anything to him. You don’t need to be so protective.”
“Tim!”
Evelyn realized that he had gone too far. She pulled him back and said to Olivia in embarrassment, “I’m sorry. He’s drunk today.”
“Is he drunk? Can he talk about nonsense after getting drunk? Tim Louis, what do you mean? Have I done anything to offend you? What did I do to you? Why are you so weird to me today? You even keep slandering. Do you have any problem with me?”
Olivia also looked annoyed, gazing at Tim. Instantly, the atmosphere in the hall was quite suffocated and depressing.

What is it with Chinese authors.
