Chapter 1988 Janice Was Slapped
Rodney came downstairs after Mabel went to get him. “Hi, Mr. Davin! It’s an honor to have you here!” Rodney greeted courteously. “Mr. Simpson, you don’t have to speak so formally with me. I don’t really like pleasantries.”
“Of course, of course, Mr. Davin! You’re really easy to talk to! I’ve already recommended your underground palace to many of my friends, and they are more than willing to go there,” Rodney responded.
Davin chuckled at that. “I’m not here to talk about my underground palace or the company today. Where is Janice? Call her out!”
“Is something wrong?” Nicholas asked as he looked at Davin curiously.
“Oh, yes. Something is very wrong, indeed,” Davin replied.
“Go get her,” Rodney commanded.
Meanwhile, Janice was sprawling on her bed as she intently scrolled through the top trending topics. She read the comments section of the post related to Maya’s incident happily.
Oh, Maya. You’re really famous now. Everyone cares more about this incident than they ever did about your status as the privileged daughter of the Seet family. I still have the photos that Noah sent to me. Once I expose them to the media, you’ll be even more famous! If you want to thank me for this, why don’t you say that to me in my dreams? A lot of people are wondering about your relationship with Noah. I’m sure you’ll be thrilled when you see those comments because everyone knows your name now!
Knock! Knock!
“Who is it?” Janice’s irritated voice sounded from the bedroom.
“Ms. Moniker, Mr. Simpson asks you to go to the living room.”
Why does he want to see me? Could it be that he wishes to kick me out by giving me the ten million he promised? But now’s not the time! My relationship with Wilbur is just starting! So, what should I say when I go downstairs? Janice pondered as she made her way downstairs.
Once she arrived in the living room and saw Davin, her heart immediately sank.
What is he doing here? Is it because of Maya? N-No… There’s no way he knows what happened.
Despite her thoughts, she was still a little nervous.
“Janice, Mr. Davin said that he wants to settle some score with you. What is that about?” Nicholas asked as he stared at her.
Janice was puzzled and at a loss for words for a split second.
“Settle the score? Could it be that you’re mistaken, Mr. Davin?”
Davin scrutinized Janice. This b*tch bullied Maya in the hospital, wanted to tarnish her reputation, and even schemed to kill her. There’s no doubt she’s the devil.
The next second, he glanced at his assistant, and the latter immediately walked toward Janice. Just as everyone was staring curiously at Davin’s assistant, the latter slapped her across her cheeks.
Janice was taken aback by what happened and fell to the ground. She lifted her hand and covered her burning cheek as she raised her head angrily.
“Why did you slap me?” she yelled as she glared at the assistant.
“It’s because you deserved it! Consider it a greeting gift,” Davin answered instead.
Looking aggrieved, she asked, “Mr. Davin, what do you mean? Have I done anything to offend you? Do explain!”
Davin let out a chuckle. “Wow! You still have the nerve to ask me that? Don’t you know what you’ve done?” he asked with a faint smile, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Janice kept quiet, and her chest tightened. Could it be that he knows how Maya died? N-No… That’s impossible!
However, she couldn’t think of anything else.
“Janice, what did you do that made Mr. Davin so angry?” Mabel asked anxiously.
“I-I didn’t do anything.” Janice tried to talk herself out of it. The next moment, she turned to look at Nicholas. “I’m your fiancée, which means I’ll be part of the Simpson family. Why aren’t you saying anything when he disrespects your fiancée like this?”
In that instant, the only thing she could think of was to use Nicholas as a shield to protect herself from Davin’s wrath.
