Half an hour later, Nina snuck out of Evan’s office. The moment she locked the door, a wry smile crept up her face. When that evil Daddy comes back, he’ll be in for a big surprise! That’s what he gets for bullying Mommy!
After her sabotage was complete, she left Seet Group.
Although she was but a little girl, the security guards treated her courteously. After all, she had entered Seet Group with Evan, so they thought she was likely one of his relatives.
Nina found a suitable place to remove her makeup.
Her makeup had transformed her into another person entirely and was something she took pride in. She was sure that even Nicole would not be able to recognize her, much less Evan.
After she was done, she took a taxi back to her kindergarten.
Meanwhile, Nicole’s mobility was affected due to her injured knees. She lay on the sofa to answer questions related to medicine to earn some easy money. After she compensated Evan hundreds of thousands, she did not have much money left. She would not let any opportunity to earn money to support her children go.
Before she finished her fifth question, someone knocked on the door.
Who is it?
She got off the sofa, limped to the door, and looked through the peephole. There was no one in sight. That’s strange.
When she turned around, the knocking continued. She asked, “Who is it?”
“Delivery for you, miss.”
Nicole frowned. I haven’t been shopping online lately. Does it belong to the kids? Probably some makeup set Nina bought.
She opened the door, but the moment she saw who was outside, her face fell.
She had a bad feeling about this.
“Why are you here?”
“Perhaps you should’ve seen it coming.”
With that, the visitor slapped Nicole across the face.
“You wench! The Lane family has been ruined by you! I don’t care, you’d better pay up!”
Damn it! That hurts! Nicole glanced at her injured knees and knew that she had no chance of beating Sylvia in combat in her current state, especially not with her daughter behind her.
Just as she was wondering whether to fight back, Sylphiette sneered, “My dear sister, it took us quite some time and effort to find you. After we parted ways at the dessert shop, you moved house. Are you trying to avoid us?”
Sylphiette spoke in a gentle tone but had a vicious look in her eyes.
Nicole knew that they must have been here to settle the score with her thanks to Evan blaming the fall of Lane Corporation on her.
It’s all that damn Evan’s fault! What am I supposed to do now?
Sylvia then shoved Nicole and stormed inside.
“Nicole, you’ve ruined our entire family! How could you do this to your relatives?”
“Sylphiette, don’t waste your breath on her. She’s never treated us like family! Come and have a seat here.”
Sylvia plopped herself down onto the sofa and glared at Nicole as though she was in her own home.
Sylphiette deliberately bumped into Nicole on her way in and took a seat beside Sylvia. She then started taking a look around the house and its decorations. She’s quite well off! Looks like she’s rich.
“Nicole, let me cut to the chase. Back then, you broke all ties with us when you were pregnant and we have not treated you as a part of the family since. Why did you suddenly show up to sabotage Lane Corporation? Do you really want to do us in that much?”
Sylvia was acting unreasonable and in hysterics.
“Anything to do with the Lane family has nothing to do with me! This is my home, so please leave!”
“What do you mean by that? If you hadn’t offended some influential man, Lane Corporation wouldn’t have crumbled like that! What on earth did your father do to have such a callous and shameless daughter like you? You’re nothing but a burden!”
“Nicole, the reason Dad’s company went bust was because you offended Seet Group! All of Dad’s friends know this well! Why must you dig your own grave like that? If you want to die, I don’t care if you hang yourself, jump off a building, or slit your own wrists. But why implicate us into this? Now that the Lane family is in ruins, my marriage is at risk as well. You’ve destroyed the Lane family!”
