Chapter 463 It''s Indeed a Life-threatening Challenge for You!


    Nicole suddenly paused.


    She turned to look at Gabrielle. Seeing Gabrielle''s firm and resolute look, Nicole finally felt relieved.


    She had always been worried that something bad would happen to Samuel. However, Gabrielle''s


    confident look revealed that she and ir might know where Samuel was.


    Besides, although ir was a doctor, the background of the Hawk family was extremelyplicated. It


    even had a lot to do with themander of a certain military region. Therefore, as long as ir helped


    and stood up for Samuel, Samuel would be safe.


    At the thought that Samuel was still safe, Nicole finally felt relieved.


    "Thank you."


    Although she had no idea what ir and Gabrielle had done for Samuel, she was quite grateful to them


    now.


    Gabrielle was somewhat ashamed of her gratitude.


    She whispered, "Don''t thank me. There are some things we have to do. When hees back, you''ll


    understand everything."


    "OK."


    Nicole did not continue to ask.


    It was enough to know that Samuel was doing well.


    At present, the only thing she could do was to focus on her recovery. As for the situation Gabrielle had


    mentioned, she couldn''t do anything about it.


    Seeing that Nicole was a little sleepy, Gabrielle gave her a few more instructions before leaving.


    Nicole fell asleep again. This time, she slept quite soundly and even wore a sweet smile.


    Following Tim''s instructions, Jacob returned to the Louis''.


    Bard was especially happy to see Jacob back. Jacob''s mother was also overjoyed, and she wanted


    to get more intimate with his son, but Jacob appeared rather indifferent to her.


    "I came back to deal with something. Tim said that you know where our secret room is. Is that true?"


    Jacob directly looked at Bard.


    Bard was puzzled. When did Tim get so close to Jacob? And he even told Jacob about the secret


    room. Could it be that they had made up?


    Thinking of this possibility, Bard was beside himself with joy.


    "I know. I''ll take you there."


    "Jacob, you can stay for lunch. I''ll have someone cook your favorite spicy chicken, okay?"


    Looking at her son, Mrs. Louis wanted to hold him in her arms. Unfortunately, Jacob had been


    separated from her since childhood and now he treated her like a stranger.


    Jacob shook his head and said, "I still have something to do, so I won''t stay here for lunch."


    With that, he ignored Mrs. Louis''s expectant look and followed Bard to the secret room.


    After knowing the exact location, Jacob sent Swift inside.


    Bard didn''t know what he was doing, but as long as Jacob could stay at home, he was quite happy.


    "Hurry up and cook some delicious food. Whether Jacob will eat at home or not, you should prepare a


    big lunch in advance."


    As soon as he said this, everyone in the family started to get preparations, and Mrs. Louis became


    even happier.


    Jacob was interrogating Swift in the secret room, but this woman was too stubborn. Other than cursing


    Nicole and Samuel, she didn''t say anything else.


    When Tim returned, he couldn''t help but frown when seeing everyone bustling around the kitchen.


    "What''s wrong? Could it be that my father will marry a new mistress?"


    Hearing this, Mrs. Louis immediately put on an awkward look, and Bard''s face also darkened.


    "What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you back?"


    "I am not even allowed toe back now, right?"


    Tim''s casual appearance and tone angered Bard.


    "Stop being so cynical. Jacob is back and he will have lunch with us. You''d better behave yourself."


    "It turns out that Jacob has returned. No wonder the atmosphere is so lively. That makes sense. Since


    neither of my parents cares about me, I won''t receive such a warm wee whening back home.


    Am I right, Mrs. Louis ?"


    Tim''s sarcasm made Mrs. Louis quite embarrassed.


    "That''s not the case. Didn''t you ask Jacob toe back? I thought you..."


    "Do you think that I''ve epted your son and you? Stop daydreaming!"


    Tim snorted and threw his coat onto the sofa. Then he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.


    Bard was quite sharp-eyed and he saw the wound on Tim''s shoulder.


    "You made trouble outside again, didn''t you? I can see your wound. No matter what, you are at least


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    the heir of the Louis family and my son. Can you stop bringing shame to our family? Every day, you


    either go to the pub or have fun at the whorehouse or casino. I guess you got into a fight with some


    hooligans this time, right? Did you get into any trouble? Don''t ask me to clean up the mess for you!"


    Louis was so furious that he picked up the ashtray and threw it fiercely at Tim.


    Jacob came out at this moment and happened to see this scene. He subconsciously stepped forward


    to block the ashtray for Tim, but he himself was hit in the arm.


    Mrs. Louis immediately screamed.


    "Jacob, how are you? Why did you suddenlye out? Did you get hurt?"


    Louis didn''t expect to hit his youngest son, and he couldn''t help feeling a little worried.


    "Why did you suddenlye out? You even protected this brat! He was born against me and he never


    does good deeds. I will be angered to death sooner orter."


    "Bard, why did you hit Tim without asking him first? His injuries weren''t from a fight. Actually..."


    "Alright. Jacob, don''t pretend to be friendly to me. I don''t need your concern. As you can see, I am just


    a rogue in my father''s view. You shoulde back to this family as quickly as possible, for my father


    may ce high expectations on you and leave all the property to you. And I, as an unfilial son, will be


    kicked out of the house, right?"


    Tim didn''t care about Bard''s attitude at all. To him, this kind of thing was too normal.


    Ever since he was young, Bard had never given him a chance to exin his behaviors.


    At first, he felt wronged and wanted to defend himself. However, after he did this, Bard just felt that


    he refused to admit his mistakes. In that case, he would beat him even harder.


    Over time, Tim didn''t want to argue anymore.


    Jacob looked at Tim with aplicated expression. He didn''t know that Tim was treated like this in the


    Louis''.


    Tim was a casual and unrestrained man outside. However, it turned out that he had to suffer such


    grievances at home.


    Jacob felt even sorrier for him.


    After hearing Tim''s words, Bard angrily scolded, "Your younger brother said this for your own good,


    but you didn''t appreciate his kindness. I wonder how you can be so ungrateful. You are exactly the


    same as your mother!"


    "You can scold me, but you aren''t qualified to judge my mum!"


    Tim''s face immediately fell.


    Since Tim contradicted him in front of Jacob, Bard was about to say something. However, he heard


    Jacob say, "I still have something to do, so I will leave first. Since you need to settle your own family


    affairs, it''s not appropriate for me to stay here as an outsider. Bard, I just want to remind you of one


    thing. You have already lost one son. Do you still want to lose Tim? Actually, some things run counter


    to your intuition. Although Tim is always at odds with me, I have to admit that he is a real man."


    With that, Jacob turned around and left.


    Bard was stunned.


    Mrs. Louis grabbed Jacob''s arm and said tearfully, "Jacob, I only beg you to have one meal at home.


    Just stay with me for a while, okay?"


    "Mrs. Louis, I''m sorry. I really have something else to do. Mr. Green is not around, so I must be


    responsible for her wife''s safety. Goodbye."


    He pulled out his arm and left without looking back.


    He couldn''t face such a family and his hateful parents. Besides, he felt guilty when seeing Tim.


    Jacob felt that it was his appearance that destroyed the harmony of the Louis family, causing Tim to be


    excluded by the Louis family and disliked by Bard.


    If it weren''t for his existence and his mother bing Bard''s mistress, neither the Louis family nor


    Tim would be like this now.


    Tim was just struck dumb for a moment. It seemed that he didn''t expect Jacob to speak up for him.


    However, he went straight to the kitchen without saying anything.


    Not long after, a loud bang came from the kitchen, apanied by a burst of mes. Everyone inside,


    including Tim, ran out coughing. His face had been ckened by the smoke.


    Seeing this scene, Bard was so angry that his entire body trembled.


    "What are you doing? Do you want to burn down our house?"


    Tim just ignored him. After the servants put out the fire, he went into the kitchen again.


    However, it didn''t take long for the tragedy to happen again. This time, even Tim''s hair was burnt.


    The kitchen was instantly filled with choking smoke.


    Tim couldn''t help coughing.


    Luna said worriedly, "Sir, I can cook whatever you want to eat. You''ve never done any housework


    before. Why did you suddenly want to cook today? It''s indeed a life-threatening challenge for you!"


    Looking at the mess in front of him, Tim sat down on the ground and said helplessly, "Why is it so


    difficult to cook? I followed all your instructions."


    Luna wanted tough and weep all at once.


    "Sir, why did you suddenly take interest in cooking? If you really like it, how about enrolling in a ss


    and having a professional chef teach you? It''s better than learning by yourself at home."


    "I won''t. If I attend a ss, I will definitely be aughing stock because of my poor cooking skills."


    Tim became even more depressed.


    He just wanted to cook something delicious for Nicole. How could it be so difficult?


    Why could Samuel make such delicious food?


    Could it be that Nicole lied to him?


    Yes!


    Nicole must have lied to him.


    Samuel was a proud man enjoying high social status. It was impossible for him to enter the kitchen that


    smelled of fumes.


    The more Tim thought about it, the more he was convinced that Nicole had told a lie.


    He wiped his face and suddenly found that there was a lot of charred hair in his hands. He couldn''t help


    but scream.


    "Ah! My hair!"


    Tim jumped up from the ground and ran straight to the bathroom. He didn''t notice Bard, who was


    about to faint from anger.


    Seeing her miserable state in the mirror, Tim immediately cried out.


    "I am truly screwed. I didn''t have many chances to win before, and Nicole will despise me even more.


    What am I gonna do with my hair? I can''t shave my head!"


    Tim''s grief seemed to be beyond tears. Touching his bare forehead, he even wished he could directly


    faint.
