That woman is evil! How could she teach her children to be a saboteur?! Kyle could have turned out this way if she’s raising him!
“Mr. Seet, this girl looks familiar, doesn’t she?”
“Where’s Nicole right now?”
“She’s at Windy Place.”
Evan stormed out, and John followed him. When they arrived at Windy Place, Evan parked his car outside so that he and John could go inside discreetly.
He wanted to see who was the father of Nicole’s mischievous daughter.
“Mr. Seet, she lives in number seven zero three of the sixth area. It’s right in front of us.” They came up to her doorstep and John went to knock on it, but after a long while, nobody answers the door. “I think nobody’s home, Mr. Seet.”
“Nobody’s home?” Did she go into hiding out of guilt? He whipped out his phone and called Nicole. There were many occasions where he wanted to delete the number, but he didn’t.
At the same time, Nicole was currently in the process of packing up. She had a complex expression when she saw Evan calling her. If it’s not because of him, Sylvia and Sylphiette wouldn’t have done that to me.
If it weren’t because she was worried her kids would be dragged into this, she wouldn’t have moved so quickly. If it weren’t because she paid hundreds of thousands to him, she wouldn’t have to live in this ramshackle building. Damn you, Evan! You did this to me!
Anything related to him was bound to be a disaster, so she decided to stay far away from him. In a fit of rage, Nicole ended the call, but it didn’t quell her anger. “Piss off, you idiot!” She then proceeded to block his number.
She hung up on me? The audacity of that woman! Nobody hangs up on me! Evan tried to call her again, but this time, he realized she had blocked his number. I knew it. She’s behind this! Evan clenched his fists.
“I thought I asked you to keep an eye on her.”
“I did, but when they determined that she isn’t the hacker, the team is disbanded.”
Evan gave him a sharp look, and John’s heart sank. “This wench is a cunning one. Find out where she is right now!”
“Yes, Mr. Seet!”
“I want you to do this yourself, and keep an eye on her!”
“Yes, understood!” John continued to follow him carefully. It wasn’t until Evan had gone away did he let out the sigh he had been holding in. This is no time to relax. He quickly looked up on Nicole, but it proved to be hard. In the end, he had to use his connections, and even then, it took him until midnight before he went back with news.
When he found out Nicole had moved to the slums, John drove to her place the next morning. What he saw next shocked him. How did Ms. Lane fall so far from grace? This is no place for a human to stay. I mean look at it, the unit’s dilapidated, the walls are discolored and flaky. Hmm, now that I think about it, I guess it’s all thanks to Mr. Seet.
After Zane’s bankruptcy, his family went haywire. Ever since then, they had been badgering Nicole, who had become the scapegoat thanks to Evan.
When John was about to get out of the car, he saw someone familiar coming outside. Why is he here? Mr. Seet specifically forbade Kyle from coming into contact with Ms. Lane. She must have taken him out in secret!
After seeing Kyle playing with two young girls near the slums, John got out of the car and went toward Nicole’s place.
Nicole was surprised to hear someone knocking on her door. I just moved here yesterday, and I already have guests?
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, John.”
Her heart sank at the mention of that name. They found me so soon? She had just blocked his number a day ago, so Nicole was sure Evan would come for her.
Should I open the door? But he’s already here, so he won’t leave until I do. Nicole took a deep breath and mustered her courage before opening the door.
“Hello, Ms. Lane.”
Upon noticing that John came alone, Nicole looked around, confused. Where’s that jerk?
