Do you all really think that by letting Sylphiette impersonate the girl from the past, Evan will be manipulated to save Lane Corporation?
Stop dreaming!
“Hey, b****, you sure are bold to utter such nonsense. Do you think we will trust you? We’re not gullible! Sir, don’t waste any more time on her and chase her out!” Sylvia reproached her for the statement.
She remembered vividly how Nicole slapped her and demanded Zane to divorce her. She kept the grudge all this while and had been waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.
This time, Nicole’s arrogance would be shunned and rebuked.
Zane had always measured one’s value based on the benefits that were brought to the table.
At that moment, he felt that Sylphiette was more valuable than Nicole. Despite Nicole’s attempt, he followed Sylvia’s wishes and ignored Nicole’s plea.
“Sylphiette will take care of the problem with Lane Corporation. Your help is not needed. Get out of here and never return!”
He wants me to leave?
I’m here for payback. I will not leave this easily.
I have some matters to confront him!
“Dad, rumor has it that Mom was related to a murder case. She could not withstand the pressure and overdose on medication. She eventually succumbed to the side effects. You are responsible for the murder, right?” she asked.
Zane’s facial expression changed. Clutching his hand tightly, he yelled boisterously at Nicole, “Nonsense! Your mom died of sickness. There was no murder!”
His fierce and aggressive tone indicated that he was deeply bothered by that statement.
Looks like I am right!
When she was still at Rose Garden, she made a deal with Sylphiette and it was Sylphiette who told her this.
Initially, she thought that Mom was devastated by Zane’s betrayal and she consequently suffered severe depression. On top of that, Sylvia’s meddling further exacerbated the situation and she eventually succumbed to her illness.
She did not expect that there was something else behind Mom’s death.
Be that as it may, Sylphiette did not describe in detail about the alleged murder.
Zane’s reaction implied that he would not reveal the truth. Hence, she could only rely on herself to find out.
The priority at the moment is to regain ownership of Lane Corporation! It was her Mom’s and Grandpa’s blood, sweat, and tears!
“Dad, if you choose to keep quiet, I will not pester you further. However, Lane Corporation is mine and I want it back!”
“What an arrogant statement. If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll only take things further without an ounce of respect!”
Sylvia gave Nicole a tight slap.
Smack! The sound was crisp and clear.
Sylvia’s abrupt movement caught Nicole off guard and she could not react in time. The scorching pain on her face was negligible as compared to the heart-wrenching torment. She quenched her fist in an attempt to suppress her wrath.
It was not worth it to be dragged into a skirmish with Sylvia.
Zane definitely would not stand by her side. Besides, the Lane family has many servants at home and she was outnumbered.
At the same time, Nicole realized the cruel truth of reality, that the strong would prey on the weak.
She swore that if she managed to claim Lane Corporation’s ownership, she would focus on growing and developing the business. She will grow and be strong herself and will not fall prey to oppressive people again.
However, the only person that could help her now was Evan.
She took out the phone and wanted to give Evan a call. At the side, Sylvia was still enraged and continued to admonish her, “B****, looks like a slap is not enough. I’ll need to do more to ease my anger!”
Nicole was taken aback for a short moment. Her quick-witted instinct instantly suggested that she should invite him over instead of making a call. It would be more effective in achieving her objective.
There were two chances offered to her and it would be a shame not to take full advantage of the situation.
Hence, she immediately sent a message out.
Sylvia was agitated by Nicole’s presence and tried to hit her with a cane.
“B****, time to teach you a lesson!” she yelled as her hand sped into motion.
Needless to say, Nicole was not a chicken waiting to be slaughtered. She nimbly avoided Sylvia’s attacks and attempted to wrestle the cane away.
“Hey, don’t try to retaliate! I will discipline you myself!” she screamed.
