Chapter 1558 Great Escape
Darn it, I shouldn’t have bought into her half promise yesterday. I should have just tied her up and sent her away last night!
Sheila stayed behind because she wanted to stand by Davin and Seet Group.
“Huh, Sheep, think about Zayden. What will he do if the both of us are gone?”
Davin felt touched and angry at the same time.
Juan and Kyle were also shocked to learn that Sheila had stayed behind.
“Uncle Davin, it looks like the only way out is to win the fight against Steven now!”
“Yeah. I’m so worried about my son. What is he going to do if both me and Sheep are no longer around? Poor thing.”
“My sister, Joy, will be left in the same predicament as your son! What more, Grandpa and Grandma will be heartbroken if they have to attend our funeral.”
“Okay, that’s enough. I feel terrible. Juan, did you send someone to tail Desmond yesterday? Any findings?”
“Of course, I did. Don’t you worry, Uncle Davin, I will question him personally if there are no findings by tonight. I assure you he will admit to the truth.”
“Good! Juan, you have my full support. This is a race against time!”
“Yes. I’ll go check on the latest situation.”
With that, Juan left the office.
On the other hand.
Sally snuck into the room in an attempt to smuggle Nicole out after receiving news that she was being held captive.
“Mrs. Seet, Kyle sent me over to get you out of here. Let’s go.”
“Go? Why should I? It’s so comfortable here.”
Nicole gave Sally a look, reached out for her cup of tea, and took a sip.
Sally stared at her in bewilderment.
“How is this comfortable? This place is nothing compared to Imperial Garden. Moreover, do you know why my dad is holding you captive here? Do you know what he wants?”
“What does he want? To threaten Evan?”
“Yes. He wants to exchange you for something else.”
“What is it?”
“I’m not sure, but it’s something he really needs.”
“Okay then, when is he going to do it?”
Sally was rendered speechless.
Why is Nicole acting so weirdly?
Logically speaking, she wouldn’t want Evan to be threatened and would want to leave this place as soon as possible. However, Nicole was acting as if she doesn’t give a d*mn about it at all.
She has not lost her mind, has she? Or has Daddy cast a spell on her or something?
Sally couldn’t wrap her mind around Nicole’s behavior at all.
“Mrs. Seet, did my father do anything to you?”
Sally was worried that her father would blame Nicole for her mother’s death and seek revenge on her.
“No! How dare he? I will commit suicide if he ever lays a finger on me. I’ll be useless to him if I’m dead. He needs me alive if he wants to threaten Evan.”
“Then, you should leave with me if you know what he’s after, Mrs. Seet.”
“You’re going up against your father if you help me escape. Why? Shouldn’t you be on your father’s side?”
“There has been a misunderstanding. It’s a long story. Let’s just leave first! Kyle and Juan are worried sick. They’re anxiously waiting for your return. Mr. Seet misses you too. He also has been looking forward to your return.”
Evan?
No way.
I’m most useful to him when I’m here.
Nicole looked up and met Sally’s puzzled gaze. A mischievous glint flickered in her eyes as she recalled Evan telling her she mustn’t expose herself no matter what. She figured she would arouse suspicions if she refuses to leave.
“You’re right. I’m missing Kyle and Juan too. Let’s go.”
Sally could tell that something was off, but couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
However, she quickly threw caution to the wind since time was running out. “Okay, follow me.”
Sally led the way. Nicole observed her surroundings as she followed behind.
Why isn’t there a single soul here? I can’t just escape from this hideout. It’s not time yet. Evan’s plan will be ruined if I do so.
