Chapter 1581 Bargaining Chip
Meanwhile, at Imperial Garden, Evan was sorting out the list of medicine from Bernian Hospital in his study when he received a call from Steven.
The man somehow managed to get Evan’s number and gave him a call.
He did not beat around the bush and asked to meet Evan right outside Imperial Garden an hour later.
“Evan, your wife, and your brother, Davin, are in my hands. If you dare to make a police report or try anything funny, I’m going to take their lives immediately! You’d better think over your actions carefully, especially since they’re your closest family members.”
Evan furrowed his brows. Since when did Davin fall into Steven’s hands?
When he was heading back to Imperial Garden just now, Evan thought he felt like Juan and Kyle were trying to tell him something, albeit the two ended up saying nothing. In retrospect, Evan thought they might be trying to tell him about this.
“Evan Seet, it’s time to settle the scores between us.”
“Okay, let’s meet outside Imperial Garden after an hour!”
Evan fell silent after hanging up the phone and immediately ordered the maids to summon Kyle and Juan to the study.
The two of them noticed right away that Evan was sitting by his desk in the study with a grim look on his face while he tapped mindlessly on the desk.
Juan stepped forward and asked, “Daddy, why did you call us here?”
Evan lifted his head and regarded them both with his piercing stare. “Where is your Uncle Davin?”
Juan glanced at Kyle. Could it be that Daddy already knows the fact that Uncle Davin has gone to Steven’s hideout and hasn’t been back since?
“Uncle Davin… he went to meet Steven. We’ve found out the identity of the murderer who impersonated you back then. Uncle Davin wanted Steven to know the truth sooner so that the conflict could be resolved sooner.”
“Who let him go there?” Evan asked.
Juan stuttered, “Un-uncle Davin insisted on going…”
“Why didn’t you guys stop him?”
“Daddy, you know how Uncle Davin is. He insisted to go, and he even said he wanted to go take a look at Steven’s underground palace as a reference for his own palace later on. We couldn’t stop him…”
Evan’s face fell.
Kyle understood how his father must have felt then. After all, Evan only had one younger brother, and surely, the man was worried sick about his safety.
If anything were to happen to Davin, it would be difficult to explain the matter to Sheila, Jonathan, and Cynthia.
“Daddy, I will go to the hideout right now to save Uncle Davin,” Kyle announced.
Then, he turned around to leave.
“Stand right there! Your uncle does not need you to save him. Steven will bring him here.”
Kyle and Juan were stumped as they did not understand what Evan meant.
“Daddy, are you saying that…”
“Steven will bring Uncle Davin here half an hour later. He will be Steven’s bargaining chip in the discussion with me. Both of you need to improvise and act accordingly to the situation later. You guys have to prioritize your uncle’s safety no matter what!”
“Daddy, will Steven really come? Is he going to bring Mommy over too?”
Evan fell silent and nodded his head before he mumbled, “Yes.”
“Don’t worry, Daddy. We will strive our best to make sure Uncle Davin and Mommy are safe.”
Evan’s eyes darkened.
Then, he asked for them both to prepare themselves before ordering them to open the doors of Imperial Garden to wait for Steven’s arrival.
The two of them went to the central courtyard of Imperial Garden and grew anxious at the sight of the building where they had been residing for years.
They were very young when they first arrived at Imperial Garden. However, they quickly grew fond of the place, including Maya and Nina. They could not help but wonder if the place would turn to ash when Steven arrived later on.
Maya and Nina would be devastated to learn that they had lost their home.
Then, their thoughts drifted to Maya and Nina’s whereabouts. Have the Hidden Masters found Nina?
