Chapter 1704 The Headlines
“Kyle and Sally had been spending their time in the secret chamber all this while. Don’t you think it’s time for them to come back and live with us? Mom also mentioned during dinner about how she wanted them to come back.”
“Well, this depends on them. I believe they’ll come back whenever they want to. There’s no need to force them, even if they don’t wish to come home and live with us. Kyle and Sally are adults now and should have their own choices.”
“You’re right. The three of them have found their partners already, although we don’t know if they’re really suitable for one another or if they can really build a family together. Now, Juan’s the only one left who is still single.”
“He’s hooked onto treasure hunting lately. He’s been looking into the clues of the treasure whenever he got the chance.”
“I thought you asked Faye to look into it? He’s still worried about it?”
“Yeah. That’s why I’m considering whether to arrange some other tasks for him, you know? Something to distract him.”
“Hm… Since he’s interested in treasure hunting, why don’t you let him look for the treasure with Faye?” Nicole blurted out without thinking.
“Nicole… Actually, I didn’t want anyone in the Seet family, especially Juan, to be involved with the treasure because treasure hunting isn’t something good. I didn’t stop Faye because I didn’t have a good reason to stop her from going after the treasure when she insisted. Her family is related to the Redgold Dragon Coffer. In other words, she’s related to the key which activates the treasure.”
“I understand,” Nicole responded after pondering for a moment.
“Treasure hunting is a bloody path. Who knows how many people will lose their original intention of looking for the treasure? Who knows how many people would do whatever it takes to get their hands on the treasure? Many lives would be lost during the journey. Who knows what truly lies within the treasure, even if one were to really find it after the bloodshed?”
Nicole didn’t say anything.
At first, she thought Evan was a businessman who would prioritize profits in most situations. She had never expected that he could stand his ground and be this clear-headed before the tempting treasure.
Huh. I thought he would be tempted by the treasure. Hmm… So, he’s not a mere businessman who only looks at profits. He knows his standards and considers everything rationally. Aww! My husband is really outstanding! He’s the best!
Her lips unwittingly curled into a smile.
“So, is there any news from Faye?”
“Not yet.”
“Hey. Do you think she’ll get into any trouble?”
“Don’t worry. She’s really capable of protecting herself; even Levant can beat her. Hence, I doubt that others can. In fact, I don’t think there are many people in this world who can beat her.”
“She’s a good person. I hope she returns safely,” Nicole said.
“She will. It’s late, Nicole. Let’s get some rest.”
“Mmm.” She put her head on his solid chest and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Mmm… He’s really dependable… I’m so blessed to have met him…
When one met her Mr. Right, even at 40 years old, she’d still be cared for as if she was a precious little girl. She’d still be able to live happily.
It was a sultry night. The gentle breeze gently blew across the trees, making them sway under the moon, and the faint moonlight shone into the room like a beautiful painting.
The following day, headlines were filled with the news of yesterday’s event at the underground palace. It was everywhere. In moments, the matter had become a trending topic. No one knew who spilled the beans.
When Davin woke up and saw the news, he let out a long, hard sigh.
“Sheep, look! See what you did? The people who didn’t know anything are scolding me online and are on your side! They’re even calling me a womanizer! Argh! My reputation’s ruined!” Davin complained.
“No. I’ve got to do something! I must get the evidence to the media and expose what Juan found in order to prove my innocence and save my reputation!” he continued.
