Davin was shocked. This woman must be out of her mind to want to take down Seet Group. Who does she think she is?
But then something struck him. He thought about what the bodyguard had said about his mom leaving with Monica.
Could this crazy woman be Monica?
With that thought in mind, he rang Jonathan immediately to ask him about this Monica woman.
Jonathan was not prepared to disclose his past to Davin, hence he simply replied, “That sounds like a downright crazy person, so just ignore her.”
“I wish I can just ignore her, but she has taken Mom, Nina and Maya hostage! How can we just sit down and do nothing about it?”
This unexpected news frightened Jonathan, making him so dizzy he had to hold on to his bookshelf.
Nina, Maya and Sophia are all abducted by Monica?
But, how is this possible?
“Are you absolutely sure about this? How did she manage to kidnap all of them?” Jonathan was still stunned.
“From what I gathered from the Imperial Garden bodyguards, Nina and Maya were lured away by her. As for Mom, apparently she just went with Monica willingly.”
“What? Your mom followed her voluntarily? She must have gone mad!”
Jonathan could not, for the life of him, figure out why Sophia would go with Monica freely. She should know better than stepping into an obvious death trap.
“I’m not sure about mom, but that Monica woman is absolutely insane! She said she wants the Seet Group wiped out, and if we refuse, we’ll be sorry for what she’ll do to Nina, Maya, and Mom!” Davin’s voice was desperate. “Why do you think she said that, Dad?”
Jonathan felt overwhelmed.
His memory was still fresh from this morning when he and Sophia were plotting plans to guard against Monica. He was totally unprepared for things to get out of hand so quickly. It seemed that Monica was way ahead of them.
“Monica is our enemy. But what’s more important now is to search for your mom and the kids! Meanwhile, you must hold down the fort at the company. If Monica gets her hands on the company we’re all done for,” Jonathan said firmly on the other end of the line.
Our enemy?
This was the first time Davin had learned of someone being the enemy of his family.
He fell deep in thought. The way Monica had taken everyone by surprise by abducting three members from his family in such a short period baffled him. He could not help but keep pressing on his father about the origin of this woman.
The words almost escaped Jonathan’s lips, but he decided to hold back. “Enough questions for now, Davin. Just start looking for your mom, Nina, and Maya.” Jonathan hung up the phone before his son could ask more questions.
Davin furrowed his brows. He wondered why his father stopped short of explaining everything to him. Surely if he knew more about the woman, his search would be more efficient.
“Sir, the Hidden Masters are still here. Why don’t we assign this task to them? After all, this is their specialty,” John suggested.
“All right, you get them started right now. If there’s any news, let me know at once.”
“Yes sir,” John answered while rushing out of the president office.
Davin was anxious. “Damn that Monica! She couldn’t have chosen a worse time. If anything were to happen to the kids or the Seet Group, how am I going to be able to explain this to Evan when he’s back?”
He let out a heavy sigh.
Meanwhile, Monica took Sophia back to her laboratory. Nina and Maya were surprised to see their grandmother.
“Grandma!”
“Grandma, not you too!”
Sophia walked quietly toward them and sat down, emotionless. Feeling worn out, she shut her eyes.
“What’s wrong, Grandma? Are you okay?” Maya shook Sophia’s arm.
“She’s fine. She’ll feel better after a short nap,” Monica said while squinting at Sophia.
Her face lit up with the joy of a victor.
With Evan away, this was the perfect window of opportunity she had been waiting for.
Things had gone better than she expected. She had captured three members from the Seet family single-handedly. Jonathan and Davin were lucky and got away this time. But that turned out to work in her favor; once the Seet Group was destroyed in their own hands, she would resume her plan to take them all down.
Monica could not wait to see the agony on Evan’s face when he discovered that both Seet Group and his family were gone. She would then finish him off with ease.
