Chapter 1697 A Storm Was Brewing
At that moment, Nina and Sheila came out of the room with the carved pillars and overheard Sheila shouting for a divorce. They exchanged puzzled glances.
What’s going on? When did Aunt Sheila arrive? Is she serious about divorcing Uncle Davin?
“N-No, it’s not what you think! I… I…” Davin was so flustered that he did not even know where to begin.
Seeing the anxious look on Davin’s face, those who knew him stepped forward to clear his name.
“There’s been a misunderstanding. He isn’t that kind of person.”
Someone else added, “I agree. We can vouch for him. He’s not the type of guy who’d string a woman along.”
Another person chimed in, “That’s right. As his wife, you should trust him.”
Sheila’s eyes traveled over each of them. Their words were like a slap to her face.
Each of these men has a sexy and beautiful woman on his arm. Two of the ladies are even hugging their arms intimately. I suppose birds of a feather do flock together. They’re just a bunch of scumbags trying to clear another scumbag’s name! Pfft! They’re all irresponsible, untrustworthy playboys!
Maya approached Sheila and asked gently, “Aunt Sheila, what’s going on?”
“Yes, what’s the matter?” Nina pressed.
Sheila glanced at them and replied, “It’s nothing. I’ve decided to divorce your uncle.”
“Divorce?” they echoed.
That’s not ‘nothing’! That’s a big deal!
“But why, Aunt Sheila? Please don’t make an impulsive decision!”
“She’s right. You should calm down. Think about Zayden. He needs a warm and loving home.”
“Uncle Davin loves you! You have to believe that!”
“Yes, I can guarantee that he does. The person who loves you the most in this entire world is Uncle Davin!”
Despite what they said, Sheila’s anger did not dissipate.
She gave a hollow laugh and said, “Once I divorce Davin, I can take Zayden with me and remarry. I’ll still be able to give him a warm and loving home.”
Her response dealt a heavy blow to Davin.
“You wouldn’t dare! Zayden is part of the Seet family. He won’t go with you if you remarry!” he shouted.
“That’s up to me to decide. I gave birth to him!”
“You gave birth to him, but he has my blood running through his veins! He’s my son!”
“Davin Seet, you’re such a shameless man!” Sheila shrieked.
“Don’t even think about divorcing me, Sheep!”
Just as their shouting match was about to escalate, Evan and Nicole hurried in.
“Sheila, is everything all right?”
Sheila glanced at Nicole. “Everything is fine. I’m going to divorce Davin.”
Nicole stared at her speechlessly. She wants to get a divorce, and yet she says that everything is fine? She really is something else.
Surveying the crowd that had gathered, Nicole could not help thinking how it would affect Davin, Sheila, and the Seet family if things got out of hand. After all, one should not air one’s dirty laundry in public.
With that thought in mind, Nicole leaned closer to Sheila and whispered in her ear, “Sheila, let’s discuss this at home. Mom is waiting for us.”
“Exactly! Even if you don’t care about what happens to the Seet family if things blow up, you should think about the Muir family!” Nina added in a low tone.
Maya also joined in and said, “That’s true. If this matter sheds a bad light on the Muir family, the ones who’ll suffer are your parents. They have nothing to do with this. Can you bear to have them embroiled in this?”
Sheila fell silent.
The more I think about it, the more Nina and Maya make sense. In the business world, one has to adapt to the changing circumstances. It’s also common for people to suck up to the rich and powerful while trampling on the poor. Over the years, the Muir family has gained many benefits thanks to our relationship with the Seet family. If news gets out that I want to divorce Davin, the Muir family will lose their pillar of support. Hence, I must be careful.
Sensing Sheila’s hesitation, Evan barked at Davin, “Go home at once! There’s nothing a married couple can’t resolve together. Go back and talk it out.”
“Yes. Every couple fights, but things will be okay eventually. Just go home first, okay?”
Finally, Sheila turned and left, and Davin followed her immediately. Neither of them said anything more.
A storm was brewing, and things were about to go down at Seet Residence!
