Chapter 1599 News Of Nina
“Daddy, has there really been no news of Nina?”
“As of now, no.”
“Daddy, you don’t need to be too worried. Nina’s smart since young, and she’s exceptionally good with makeup. God has given her talents. Naturally, God will also give her some hardships. Maybe she’s on an adventure now,” Juan suggested, trying to be optimistic.
“I hope that’s the case.”
Nicole then worriedly looked at Sally. Her daughter-in-law was pregnant, and she wanted to stay by her side to take care of her. However, Nina was missing. As her mother, there was no way she could just stay back and not go to look for her daughter.
Hence, she apologetically said to Sally, “Sally, I won’t be around, so if you have anything you need, do tell the maids about it. You can also tell Sheila. She’s very nice, and she’ll help you out.”
“Mrs. Seet, don’t worry. I’ll take care of myself.” Sally gazed at Nicole, moved. “I’m sure you’ll be able to bring Nina home safe and sound.”
“Yes.” Nicole nodded.
“Mom and Dad will be back tomorrow. Although Mom is much older, she knows how to take care of a pregnant woman. So you don’t have to worry as she’ll take good care of Sally,” Evan said.
It was only then Nicole felt her heart lower from her throat. Sophia was indeed good at taking care of people. When she and Sheila were pregnant, Sophia had taken care of them fantastically as if they were her daughters.
All these years, the family had been living harmoniously, and a major reason was due to Sophia’s kind demeanor.
“Evan’s mother will be nice to you. Feel free to tell her anything you need. She’ll treat you as if you’re her granddaughter.”
Sally nodded. She believed in Nicole, but the mountain of stress weighing on her chest had grown larger exponentially.
She had heard about how Kyle’s grandmother had wished to carry her great-grandchild in her arms. Sally wondered how she would react if she were to find out that her pregnancy was fake. How disappointed would she be?
She was Sophia Chinton—the aggressive and merciless woman. Sally dared not imagine Sophia losing her temper.
At that very moment, she felt that she had been foolish to have made that lie.
After Evan was done talking, he returned to the bedroom with Nicole.
Skyler was led away by Juan to discuss the investigation on Riley’s background as well.
Thus, the only ones left in the living room were Kyle and Sally.
Kyle then looked at the anxious Sally and curled his lips. “Is it fun faking a pregnancy?”
Sally turned to study Kyle in silence. She thought that Kyle would help her out, that was the question that came out of his mouth instead.
Moreover, is he laughing at me?
Tilting her head higher, she huffed, “It’s fun! Very thrilling.”
Kyle then walked to her side and whispered, “This is just the beginning. Enjoy the game.”
Sally’s eyes flicked to him but said nothing.
As she watched Kyle go up the stairs, a scowl emerged on her face.
Not only is he not helping me out, but he’s even saying such words? Is he just hanging back and laughing at me? Ha. Once your grandmother comes back, it’ll really be a thrilling game. But, Kyle, don’t think that you’ll get to hide in a corner and watch the show. When I can’t continue this game, I’ll definitely drag you into this. You knew I was lying, but you didn’t stop me. So, you’re my partner-in-crime now. We’re both frogs in the same boiling pot, and we’ll end up the same way.
With those thoughts in mind, Sally found herself sighing in relief.
After going back to her bedroom, Sally called Steven, curious about how things were going in the hideout.
“Daddy, have you found any clues about Riley’s history?”
Steven was silent for a brief moment. “Riley is Ulric Maupay’s son, but according to the information I’ve received, the one by my side isn’t Riley.”
“He’s not Riley? Then, who is he?”
“I don’t know yet. Ulric passed away early, and his son had been with his mother overseas since then. Twenty years ago, he said he was coming back to work for me. I’m suspecting that the one who came back to work for me isn’t the real Riley. This is a fake Riley. I’m afraid the real Riley has died before this fake one came along.”
