Helen was scared.

She had never seen Phoenix like this before. She knew that Phoenix could kill her easily if she wanted, so she dared not to say anything else. She broke out in cold sweats and trembled.

Phoenix looked at her and suddenly laughed.

"Helen, I remember that your younger brother is studying in a noble school, right?"

As soon as Phoenix said those words, Helen's face instantly turned pale.

"Princess, he is young and doesn't know anything. I promise that I won't say anything. I swear."

"Why are you so nervous? Don't get me wrong. Education resources in the noble school are not bad, but it is behind that of the palace. I heard that your ancestors are heroes of our country. What about sending your younger brother to the palace for schooling? It's a great opportunity."

Hearing Phoenix's words, Helen lost her footing and collapsed on the ground.

Tears streamed down her face. She was in despair. She knew that if she refused, she would never be able to see her brother again.

Phoenix ignored Helen's despair.

She used to be softhearted and have a sense of morality, but what she had experienced changed her. She learned that in some situations she had to act unscrupulously to survive, which would bring others into painfulness and despair. She chose to do so because she thought her survival was the most important thing. Moreover, since Samuel was here, she would make everything go smoothly to ensure Samuel's safety.

"Tell Rey to set off."

After saying that, she went to her room.

Helen's tears rolled in her eyes. She knew that she had no choice but to follow Phoenix's instructions. She comforted herself that studying in the palace was not that bad for her younger brother. After all, except the relatives of the royal family, few outsiders could come to the palace for royal education.

Thinking of this, Helen felt better. She got up and left.

Samuel and Nicole had stayed in the room for three days because of the snowstorm, but it eventually cleared up.

Looking at the warm sunshine, Nicole felt happy.

"Good weather is finally here!"

Seeing the smile on Nicole's face, Samuel also smiled.

"The good weather means we should leave and go to the palace."

Hearing his words, Nicole frowned slightly.

His words reminded her that Phoenix was also in the palace.

Nicole sighed.

She knew that Phoenix, who had an infatuation for Samuel, would send someone to pick them up very soon.

"I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes," said Nicole.

"Okay."

Samuel affectionately stroked her hair.

When Nicole came out from the bathroom, she saw Samuel, who had changed an outfit. Rey stood beside him as she had guessed before.

Phoenix sent Rey here as soon as the snowstorm stopped. She was so eager to see Samuel.

Thinking of Phoenix's infatuation for her husband, Nicole felt very uncomfortable, but she wanted to hide this feeling. She smiled and said, "Rey, you came so early."

"Mrs. Green, I'm just following orders. The king will put more force in search action since the snowstorm has stopped. It's safer for you to return to the palace with me. Master Phoenix has arranged everything."

Recently, Leo irritably sent people to look for Yanice, who had disappeared. However, the snowstorm made it difficult for his people to continue the search. He could only wait. He believed that on such a bad day, no one could be able to help Yanice leave his country.

Therefore, Leo restarted the search as soon as the snowstorm stopped.

Nicole and Samuel knew that Yanice was not safe here because Leo would restart the search.

"Let's go."

Nicole made her mind.

'Since I'm in her place, I have no choice.'

Nicole knew it clearly that although she didn't want to see Phoenix, they would still meet as allies in the end.

Samuel couldn't guess what was going on in her mind by reading her expressions. He reached out to tightly hold Nicole's hand and said gently, "Don't be afraid. I'll be with you. Remember what I said and don't allow yourself suffer alone."

"Okay."

Nicole felt a little sad, but still faked a smile,

'Don't allow yourself suffer alone?'

After knowing that Phoenix liked Samuel and saved his life, Nicole knew that she was bound to suffer. But she still comforted Samuel when she saw Samuel's worried expression.

After they were ready, Rey went with them to meet Yanice. Then, they left the hotel with Rey.

They didn't want to be noticed, so they disguised themselves as a potbellied businessman and his two daughters.

Rey took them to the palace in the center of the city.

The way to the palace was strictly guarded. The guards even stopped Rey's car for inspection, though Rey worked in the palace. Fortunately, Phoenix had prepared a space under the seats so that Nicole and Yanice could hide. Samuel followed them all the way by clinging to the bottom of the car.

Phoenix lived in the Phoenix Song Palace, which was remote. Therefore, what happened here was rarely noticed.

He thought Phoenix would make things easier for them in this dangerous place, but now, he could tell that Phoenix was not friendly to Nicole, which made him very worried.

He knew that Phoenix would protect him, even at the cost of her own life. But he even did not dare to imagine what Phoenix would do to Nicole. Would she take Nicole to a wrong place or send someone to set a trap for her?

These were all his worries, but he couldn't explain them to Nicole at this time.

Samuel got angry with Phoenix, who had never told him that rule before. Samuel was already furious. If something happened to Nicole, what should he do?

Nicole understood what Samuel was worried about. She hurriedly put on the bracelet and turned it on. Then she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I cherish my life more than anyone else. I would contact you if I were in trouble."

"I'll see you later."

"Okay."

Nicole and Samuel nodded to each other. Then, Samuel looked at Yanice.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

Yanice knew what Samuel was going to say when he looked at her, so she took the lead to say it.

"Thank you."

After saying that, Samuel turned around and left with Rey.

Seeing their backs, Yanice sighed and said, "There are always affectionate people who pursue the happiness that doesn't belong to them. Don't you think it's very sad for them?"

Nicole didn't know how to answer. Was Yanice also talking about herself? She loved William, but William belonged to Sally.

Nicole ignored her question and whispered, "When will they come to pick us up?"

"You really believe Phoenix will send someone to pick us up? Perhaps she will send someone to kill us," Yanice sneered.

What she said coincided with what Nicole had thought. However, Nicole still smiled and said, "No way, Phoenix is at Samuel's side. She won't hurt me."

"Silly girl, then let's make a bet."

Yanice looked at Nicole's clear eyes and sighed slightly.

"I don't want to bet with you. You have experienced much more than I have. You're trying to set a trap. I don't want to step into your trap."

Nicole said with a smile, which immediately amused Yanice.

"You're a little fox."

Nicole accepted this comment. As they were about to continue their talk, they heard footsteps hurriedly walking towards them. Nicole and Yanice's expressions instantly became alert.
