Chapter 1971 Suspicions
She headed downstairs and gave Kyle a call to inquire about the matter. The answer she got back was that those men who put Maya in a tight spot in the parking lot that day had nothing to do with the company Seet Group had recently acquired. The original owner of the company had confirmed that. Hence, the real mastermind was someone else.
However, those men had not been found as of yet, having either hidden somewhere or ran away. Only when they were apprehended could the evidence be obtained.
Nina then asked Kyle who he suspected was the mastermind. “Based on the available clues, I suspect that the mastermind is a woman,” was his solemn reply. A woman? Janice?
Janice’s face instantly surfaced in her mind. However, Nina could not understand why she would do that.
Does she want Maya to be indebted to her to use it to make life difficult for her? But she didn’t have to go that far to sacrifice the child in her womb. After all, that was her flesh and blood! However, what other reason could there be besides this?
Unable to think of any other explanation, she felt that she had to ask Janice, as the latter was the only one who could answer her question.
After standing there for a while, Nina noticed her sister walking over with a perfume gift box. She quickly went over to greet her. “Maya.”
“Why are you here, Nina?” Maya was surprised to see her.
“I’m free tonight, Maya, so why don’t I take over in caring for Janice? You can head back and rest and continue filming with Wilbur tomorrow. Aunt Sheila is taking this show very seriously, so you mustn’t delay her progress.”
Recalling Janice’s fussiness, Maya felt that her sister could not handle it.
With Nina’s temper, she’ll surely get into a fight with Janice. It’s better to let things go at the moment. I just have to endure for a few more days. Once Janice is discharged from the hospital, I’ll be free.
“It’s all right, Nina. Your company also has a lot of matters to settle. I’ve informed Aunt Sheila that Wilbur and I will head over two days later.”
Nina could not bear to see Maya tormented by Janice, so she found a quiet spot and made a call to Sheila. “Aunt Sheila, can you come up with a way to call Maya over to your place?”
“Call her to my place? Why? Did something happen?” Sheila was confused by her request. “Because… I’ll cut to the chase, Aunt Sheila. It’s Janice. She’s giving Maya a hard time…”
Nina told Sheila everything: the conversation between Janice and Mabel, Kyle’s findings, Janice getting Maya to change the perfume, as well as the milk and water stains on Maya’s clothes when she returned to Imperial Garden.
After hearing the entire story, Sheila was very surprised.
“What in the world? I’ll give Maya a call right away and tell her to come over to my place. Once she gets here, I’ll head over to the hospital. I wish to see what kind of woman Janice is. She must have guts made of steel, daring to make life difficult for Maya! Did she not think of her status? Can she even afford to bully someone from the Seet family?”
“Sorry to trouble you, Aunt Sheila.”
“Not at all. I don’t have a daughter, so I’ve always treated you both like my biological daughters. Anyone who bullies you is bullying me as well. I’ll give Maya a call immediately.”
“Okay.”
After receiving Sheila’s call, Maya kept thinking about the phone conversation.
Aunt Sheila is asking me to head to the Seet Residence at this time at night, saying that there are some important matters to discuss. However, it’s not convenient for me to leave now. If I bring it up, Janice will surely make a huge fuss and threaten to call Nicholas and Rodney. What should I do?
After pondering over the matter, Nina came into her mind.
She asked Nina to take over caring for Janice, saying that she would be back in a while. She also reminded her sister that Janice was currently a patient, so she should not take offense at the other woman’s words and endure it if possible.
“Don’t worry, Maya. I know what to do.” After some thought, she continued, “Let’s switch outfits. Although we look the same, our hairstyles and clothes are different. After we’ve changed, I’ll tie my hair up like yours. Janice won’t discover that it’s me.”
