Chapter 1892 An Unexpected Incident
“It’s your turn to audition now, Nicole.” Sheila turned to Nicole with a bright smile on her face.
Nicole cast her gaze toward the audition site. Seeing the row of professional actors and actresses at the side, she suddenly felt slightly nervous. After all, it was her first time performing before such a vast audience.
“You’re the best, Mommy! Go for it!” Maya cheered.
Nicole was the daughter of a duke, and she had previously managed Lane Corporation before working at Seet Group as Evan’s assistant for a period. Later still, she founded and managed Bernian Hospital. She even gave birth to five children. Without a doubt, her life experience was rich and varied.
The instant she stood on the stage, one could immediately tell that she was a person with many stories to tell, yet age hadn’t left an indelible mark on her. She exuded a sense of wisdom and open-mindedness that had been honed over the years. Moreover, as the wife of the president of Seet Group, her aura was simply impeccable.
“Wow! I think my mommy is even more photogenic than me!” Maya couldn’t help lauding as she watched Nicole, who had started auditioning.
“Mrs. Seet is indeed beautiful. When she stands there, she makes a stunning sight.” At that, Wilbur turned to her and asserted, “You’re as beautiful as her.”
“I resemble her closely since I’m her daughter, after all. Both Nina and I take after her a lot in looks. However, neither of us inherited her aura.”
While the two of them were whispering, an unexpected incident transpired.
Someone shoved Nicole without warning. Caught off guard, she broke the dazzling crystal chandelier at the side. A loud crash split the air as the crystal chandelier shattered into a thousand pieces. At the same time, she took a nosedive toward the shards of glass.
“Ahh!” someone cried out as the hearts of everyone there leaped into their throats.
“Mommy!”
Maya’s heart lodged in her throat as well. Oh my God, she’ll definitely be injured if she falls onto the shards of glass!
In the nick of time, a pair of massive hands abruptly wrapped around Nicole’s waist and pulled her into a solid embrace. The world spun, and she whirled several times before she was finally steady on her feet.
Her heart hammered wildly like a jackhammer.
Lifting her head, she saw that the person holding her was about the same age as Juan and Kyle. He had exquisite features and was a handsome young man.
She pushed him away and steadied herself. “Thank you!”
“I’m glad you’re fine.”
Sheila was likewise so stricken by the scene earlier that she almost passed out. If anything happened to her, how am I to answer to Evan, who loves her more than life itself?
With lingering fear within her, she looked at the broken shards of the crystal chandelier scattered all over the ground, demanding to know who put it in such a place.
The person in charge of the set frantically rushed over and denied that the item belonged to the production team, so he had no idea who placed it there.
Wilbur’s eyes narrowed a fraction, and he asked Nicole in a whisper, “Mrs. Seet, why did you trip just now when everything was just fine?”
At that question, Nicole’s expression darkened. Earlier, someone had deliberately shoved her. It was very forceful, making it evident that the person was targeting her intentionally.
She swept a gaze over the crowd. Alas, every single person wore an innocent look. Needless to say, if someone did that purposefully, the culprit certainly wouldn’t step forward and admit to it.
So, how should I resolve this matter?
“Someone pushed her!” the young man who’d just saved her declared just while she was hesitating and racking her brain for a solution.
“Who? Who pushed my mommy?” Maya clamored, promptly snagging everyone’s attention.
Everyone there started whispering among themselves. Sheila hurried over to Nicole and inquired whether she had seen the person who shoved her.
In response, Nicole shook her head lightly. The person had pushed her from behind, so she hadn’t seen who it was.
“Did you see who pushed my sister-in-law?” Sheila queried, shifting her gaze to the man who saved Nicole.
The man thought for a while before answering, “It was a woman in an audition outfit. Judging from her appearance, she was here for the audition as well.”
“Who? Which woman was it?” Sheila pressed, her gaze fixated on the group of people across from them who were there for the audition.
