Chapter 1990 Keep Him Alive
Davin’s words sent waves of shock to everyone present in the room. Mabel, Rodney, and Nicholas looked at one another in confusion. Meanwhile, Mabel was cursing Janice silently in her heart. Janice, you b*tch! How dare you go overboard? Nic already told you not to try anything funny on Maya! Look what you’ve done!
Nothing good will follow when the Seets find out! I can’t believe you’d do something like that! I’m glad Nic doesn’t like her and that the baby’s gone. Anyway, what happens to her doesn’t concern our family. So, I’m not going to go against the Seet family for her. You’re on your own, Janice.
Rodney was shocked to the core because he used to think that Janice treated Maya better than how one would treat one’s own sister. Who would’ve thought that she’ll do such a despicable thing to Maya?
But why? Is it because she wanted to avenge her unborn child? N-No… That’s not it. She’s the one who caused the miscarriage, so it had nothing to do with Maya. Then, why would she treat Maya like that?
On the other hand, Nicholas stared at Janice in disbelief. She’s digging her own grave for doing such a thing on the day she was discharged from the hospital. This woman has gone mad for Wilbur!
He narrowed his eyes the moment he thought about Wilbur. He wasn’t interested in what Janice did. However, the thing he was most interested in was becoming the successor of the Simpson family’s business.
He coughed and came up with an excuse after he thought of something. “Please excuse me. I have to use the bathroom for a bit.”
When he managed to isolate himself, he dialed a number on his phone.
“Yes, Mr. Nicholas? What can I do for you?”
“I’m sure Wilbur is devastated by the news of Maya’s death. Make sure you take good care of him when the opportunity arises…”
“Mr. Nicholas, we’ve been following him as per your command for the past few days. His car will reach the beach soon. Should we…”
“The beach? Do you mean the one where Maya was? Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Oh, Wilbur, I can’t believe he wishes to jump into the same ocean that Maya died in. He’s really deeply in love with her, isn’t he?”
“Jump into the ocean?” the person on the other end asked.
After a short while, the person on the phone understood what Nicholas meant. “Mr. Nicholas, please leave it to us. We’ll help Mr. Wilbur with that.”
“Keep him alive. After all, we are brothers. I’d be merciful and let him live his life on a thread.”
“Yes, Mr. Nicholas. You’re really kind. As for the drug that you mentioned earlier…” The person’s voice trailed off.
“Use it when you should. It’ll make him forget all of his worries!”
“Yes, Mr. Nicholas. We got it.”
Nicholas let out a sigh after ending the phone call. He was conflicted and sad about what was going to happen to Wilbur.
Wilbur’s presence was like the fully lit moon at the company, yet he was a firefly that no one cared about. Everyone looked up to Wilbur, but all of them mocked him in secret.
We’re both from the Simpson family, but why is he the company’s successor while I’m just a plain side character that everyone looks down on? Why should we be treated differently when both of us have the same dad?
Other than that, Mabel had a grudge against Wilbur’s mother before the latter died. Mabel did something stupid once and caused Angelique’s death. Nicholas didn’t dare to think about what Wilbur would do if the latter were to discover that.
If I were Wilbur, I’d definitely make my mother’s killer pay for what they’d done! That’s why I have to act first in order to secure my future and Mom’s life. Wilbur, please don’t blame me for this.
If you really have to blame someone or something, blame it on fate! There can only be one winner in the end. If there’s already you in the family, why did God give me the chance to become the other son in our family? I don’t have a choice!
Perhaps, Nicholas knew what he did was wrong, so he could only use this as an excuse to get rid of the guilt he was feeling. After taking a deep breath and keeping his phone in his pocket, he left the bathroom.
