Zane sank into deep thought.
If he divorced Sylvia, he would get 50 million at most from Nicole and lose Lane Corporation forever.
However, he could benefit more if he chose to support Sylphiette. By the time she succeeded in marrying into the Seet family, his status would skyrocket.
After comparing the benefits, he turned to Sylphiette with anticipation. “Our future depends on you, Sylphiette.”
“Dad, don’t worry. I’ll make sure that you and Mom live a better life.”
“Alright. I’ll arrange the rest for you.”
“…”
Sylvia heaved a sigh of relief. She couldn’t wait to see Nicole’s reaction to Zane’s final decision of their marriage and Sylphiette’s plan to replace her.
Serves her right!
Sylvia swore under her breath that she would do anything to make sure Nicole was left with nothing in the end. Already picturing herself slapping Nicole, she let out a wicked snort. You can join your mother in hell!
…
Evan was approving the new planning report in his office when the phone rang.
He picked the phone up and asked, “What is it?”
“…”
“What?”
“It’s true, Mr. Seet. The girl isn’t dead. She’s Zane Lane’s daughter.”
Evan frowned. Zane Lane is Nicole’s father. Could she be… Nicole? As soon as he thought of Nicole, the person on the phone continued, “It’s Sylphiette, Zane Lane’s youngest daughter.”
Sylphiette?
Evan had a bad impression of her because she kidnapped Juan once.
How could the innocent little girl do such things?
“Are you sure?” Evan asked.
“I’m totally sure of it, Mr. Seet. Sylphiette’s mother was Zane’s mistress. Before Zane’s first wife passed away, Sylphiette and her mother lived near Rose Garden.”
“She didn’t die? Then what’s with the tombstone?”
“I’ve heard that the cemetery was built because Zane’s first wife wanted to curse Sylphiette. Luckily, Sylphiette was blessed and unscathed. After that, they removed the photo but left the tombstone in its place.”
Evan was surprised at the ruthlessness of Nicole’s mother. How could she curse an innocent girl and build a tomb for her?
The conversation left Evan deeply immersed in his confused thoughts.
At night, Evan saw a woman rushing towards him agitatedly upon returning to Rose Garden from Seet Group.
“Tye, I’ve never forgotten you all these years! I’ve been searching for you ever since, and it turns out that it’s you all along, Mr. Seet…”
Evan felt an involuntary spasm when he heard Sylphiette calling him “Tye”. The way she called him alluringly was greatly disturbing. It didn’t feel like the sincere little girl at all.
Seeing that Evan didn’t respond, Sylphiette pinched herself hard enough to make herself cry. She had to make her act more convincing.
The next moment, Evan asked calmly, “How much do you remember about us?”
Already prepared, she replied confidently, “I used to sneak in through the tunnel to pick flowers for my mother. I had been bullied for a few times before you came along to help me…”
Evan blinked and smiled. “It’s been a long time. You’ve become so beautiful.”
Sylphiette was over the moon when Evan praised her because he had encountered so many beautiful socialites in the past and yet she never heard him praised anyone of them. This meant that she was the first to meet his approval!
