Chapter 1830 Where Did He Go
There’s no way I’ll leave you. Every step you take, I’ll follow, Evan. I’ve decided to follow you for the rest of my life. What can you do about that?
Draven and Damien looked troubled. However, they dared not disobey Evan’s orders, so they merely stood where they were, not knowing what to do.
As Evan continued walking, he heard Nicole’s voice coming from behind. “Mr. Davin and Mr. Levant had emphasized that you both must protect me, so you must go wherever I go. Follow me!”
“Y-Yes.”
“Of course.”
Hearing the aggression in her tone, the two bodyguards quickly followed her.
Evan stopped in his tracks and turned around upon realizing that they were following him. “I ordered you all to go back!”
“But Mr. Seet, Mr. Davin told us to protect Mrs. Seet.”
“That’s right, Mr. Seet. Even if you don’t require our protection, Mrs. Seet does, so we have to follow her.”
Both Damien and Draven nervously looked at Nicole. Evan’s gaze also shifted toward her. “Why are you following me?” he asked.
You’re my husband. I’m following you to prevent you from doing something wrong. Is there a problem with that?
Despite those thoughts, she could not say it aloud, as the present Evan could not remember that she was his wife.
“I’m not following you. We’re just heading the same way up the mountain.”
Although he did not believe a single word she said, he chose not to argue further but picked up his pace as he continued up the mountain after a short pause.
Nicole and the two bodyguards followed closely behind, turning at the midpoint of the mountain when they noticed Evan doing so.
Evan halted his steps and turned back to look at them before he continued walking.
Seeing that he entered a cave, the others followed suit, but he was nowhere in sight.
“Where’s Mr. Seet?”
“How could there be no one here? I’m very sure that I saw him coming in.”
“Search around quickly!”
They searched high and low for him but to no avail. However, they chanced upon another exit.
“Could he have gone out from here?”
“I’m sure he did. He probably came into the cave to get us off his tail!”
Nicole suddenly spoke up. “Let’s look for Shermaine. He must’ve come up the mountain to find her. As long as we find her, we’ll find him too.”
“Yes, Mrs. Seet.”
The trio began their journey toward the residence of The Four Guardians on the top of the mountain.
Meanwhile, Shermaine was overjoyed when she heard the good news.
Her original plan was to tell Levant where the treasure was and get Elias and Gale to deal with him when he got there.
Never would she have expected that not only had Levant gone there, but Davin and Juan were there as well. Moreover, the three of them were currently trapped there. Now that I’ve fewer people to deal with, there are only a few footmen by Evan’s side who are nothing to me! Is God touched by my deep love for Evan and so I’m given this opportunity? I must seize it! I have to!
With that thought, she rushed out of the cave to look for Evan. She had not gone far when she saw Nicole, Damien, and Draven hurrying toward her direction.
She stopped in her tracks, wondering why they were there.
At that moment, the trio also noticed her.
“There she is, Mrs. Seet!”
“Mrs. Seet, it looks like she’s alone. I don’t see Mr. Seet.”
Nicole was curious as well. If Evan’s not with Shermaine, then where did he go?
Shermaine walked toward them and inquired about their reason for being there.
Nicole came up with a random excuse. “Just taking a walk!”
“Do you think you can get here by merely taking a walk? It seems that those guards treated you all well. Did you bribe them with money so that they won’t take you down?”
Draven clicked his tongue. “That’s right. We did bribe them with money. How will you punish them then? Why don’t you take their lives and end all your troubles?”
Shermaine gave him the side-eye. “I don’t care how you get here. Leave immediately. I won’t let you off easily otherwise!”
