Sylvia was in a state of absolute madness. She chased Nicole around the house with the cane in her hand. She babbled non-stop about how Nicole was a spoilt brat that deserved some punishment.
Zane was stupefied by the chaotic scene.
“Enough, stop right there! You’re making me dizzy!” he howled.
“Sir, we must discipline her today to dispel the hatred I felt for her!” Sylvia urged.
“Don’t you dare lay a finger on me! I’ll give it back to you a hundredfold!” Nicole shrieked in reply.
Sylvia slammed the cane on the floor and furiously gawped at Nicole.
“Ask someone to tie her up. I’ll teach her the consequences of her action!” Sylvia said.
Zane sighed in frustration and headed upstairs.
He wanted Nicole to leave but she insisted to stay. Things would not have escalated if she would just heed the advice. She deserved it.
It would be good to teach her a lesson. This way, she would stop causing turmoil in the household.
Nicole realized that she was in deep trouble. A deep sense of regret brewed within her for her impulsive decision to head there alone. She should have asked Evan to tag along!
While she was searching for a solution, five strong and muscular male servants surrounded her.
“What are you all trying to do?” she yelled.
“You’ll find out soon enough!” Sylvia responded.
The maids swarmed towards her and dragged her into the room.
She was thrown on the floor.
The impact caused her knees and elbow to suffer minor injuries.
What is taking Evan so long?
Evan is a highly efficient person, he should be here anytime soon!
She was full of hope as she prayed for Evan’s arrival to save her.
Sylvia walked in front of her and showed her victory taunt. Her withering glare sent rippling anger across Nicole’s body.
“B****, I still remember what you did the last time. It’s time for payback!” she kicked her on the waist.
Nicole couldn’t help but moan in pain.
She raised her head and stared at Sylvia. Her eyes were filled with hate and disdain and she felt like ripping her arms off.
No, she wanted to devour her!
“Don’t stare at me like that, the show has just started! You’re a worthless piece of trash, what makes you worthy to be the mother of Mr. Seet’s child? Don’t even try to seduce him in the name of the child, I’ll end you.” she said.
Sylvia instructed the servants to keep watch. As she was leaving the room, she snatched Nicole’s phone away and slammed it hard on the floor. The screen shattered into pieces.
“Don’t even think about asking for help!”
A loud bang echoed throughout the room, followed by the sound of the door being locked.
She was completely cut off from the outside world.
Her heart sank. Sylvia was a wicked witch and god knows what she would do to her.
Evan, when will you be here?
The promise to help her twice is nothing but a lie!
Sylvia exited the room and made a phone call. Then, she hastily headed towards Zane’s room to discuss her plans.
Zane was shocked after hearing the news. He gawked at her in complete silence.
“Zane, she was raised by us. Lane Corporation is also wound up because of her. We should at least get something back from her, right? Although Mr. Cannon is old, he is a person of prominent status. He is a perfect match for a woman like her that has four children!” Sylvia’s voice broke the silence.
She continued to persuade him, “More importantly, the betrothal gift is extravagant! For a woman like her, five million is more than what we can ask for. Think about this, we’re in this mess because of her!”
Sylvia’s annoying rattling resonated in his ears.
Her motive was to get Nicole to marry the old man. In that case, Nicole would not be able to get close to Evan. Besides, she stood to gain a lavish reward.
Zane thought about the mess that he’s in. He lighted a cigarette and ruminated the proposal.
Zane’s indeterminate looks prompted another attempt of persuasion from Sylvia, “Zane, I’m doing this for Lane family. Once we go through with this, we’ll get five million! The amount will be fully credited to your account. Remember, we are in dire need of money.”
As money was his primary consideration, Zane dismissed all reservations and instantly replied, “Alright, you take care of it!”
