Truth be told, Nicole was afraid of going out with Evan. If she relapsed while she was out with him, it would greatly affect his image as well as that of the Seet Group.
She understood that if she remained at home, at least no one would find out about her “madness”.
With this awareness in mind, she even planned to make up an excuse that weekend so the kids could go to the amusement park without her.
In the evening, the children suddenly appeared at Imperial Garden with Davin after their classes. Their visit caught the couple by surprise.
“Why are you guys here all of a sudden?” Evan asked.
“Daddy, you’re enjoying your alone time with Mommy a bit too much here. Aren’t you happy to see us?” Maya pouted.
“Yeah, this is our home, after all,” Nina commented, “We can come back whenever we want, right?”
Davin grinned. “Don’t worry, Evan. I brought them here because there’s something we need to do. I’ll bring them back when I leave. You can still have your alone time.”
Nicole remain silent.
She knew the “alone time” was just a front. In actuality, they were trying to distance the kids from her out of fear that her relapse might endanger the kids.
At this moment, however, what Evan was more concerned with was the reason the kids had come here.
“Did you forget what you asked me to do?” Davin asked.
“Never.” Evan’s gaze immediately sharpened. “What did you find?”
“I’ve found everything regarding Susan’s whereabouts. Not only that, but we also have a trap in place. All we need to do now is wait for her to deliver herself to us.”
“Are you certain?”
“A hundred percent!” Davin smacked his chest confidently. “Juan played a big part in coming up with this. That’s why I brought them here. You two just enjoy yourselves and leave the rest to us!”
Evan looked at the children. They were all vying to get their hands on Susan as she definitely deserved the wrath coming her way.
She caused Russell Seet’s death, framed Nicole, and tortured her in jail until she almost died. Not to mention the latest of her theatrics, the hallucinogen.
The mere thought of the heinous acts she had committed greatly infuriated Evan.
“Evan, she still saved you, after all. Would it bother you if we go overboard?”
Saved me? Ha!
Evan had already found out what actually happened in that fire all those years ago.
“You can do anything, as long as she’s alive. She and I have some unfinished business to settle.”
Even though Davin was oblivious to what Evan was talking about, the murderous intent in Evan’s eyes was enough to tell Davin that Susan was in huge trouble.
“Got it. We’ll go set up now,” Davin said.
“Okay.”
After Davin and the children left, Nicole looked at Evan and asked, “What unfinished business are you talking about?”
“Something from a long time ago. The fire…”
Nicole quietly listened as Evan explained what he found out about the fire.
When he finished, she was dumbfounded.
She did not know that Susan was capable of such feats. To plan out such an act when she was in college overseas was beyond wicked. Nevertheless, she did hurt herself in the process. Karma, perhaps.
Susan was definitely not who she seemed.
“How are you going to settle this?”
“You’ll find out when the time comes.”
Evan did not give Nicole a straight answer, but the latter did not mind. She deserves all the punishments possible.
Meanwhile, Maya was looking up at the darkening sky. “Uncle Davin, why does the bad woman have to appear at night?”
“Well, it’s easier for her to do hurtful things at night.”
“Uncle Davin, you don’t know this but when Mommy was in prison, this bad woman really abused me a lot. She even used silver needles to stab me. Even now, I can’t look at Mommy’s needles without feeling scared.”
