“Stop beating around the bush!” Evan shot daggers at him.
Davin immediately added, “Oh. In short, I tortured her with all kinds of punishment. From now on, I can guarantee she’ll not have the guts to con you anymore!”
“Moreover, she’s the culprit who damaged my sports car and injured my leg. Do you think I’ll let her off so easily?”
Nevertheless, that was something else that bothered Davin, “There’s something I don’t quite understand. Sylphiette is not particularly influential in Y City, yet she was able to approach and trick us. I don’t think she can do this all by herself.”
“You mean there’s a mastermind behind all these?”
“Yes. Based on the investigation on my accident, her accomplice was not just Tom, Dick, or Harry. In fact, Zane has no authority over this person, so…”
“So the mastermind who supported her is no ordinary man!”
“Exactly!”
Evan’s eyes narrowed. The person must be someone powerful, or else he or she wouldn’t dare to touch the Seets!
He instructed Davin to continue with the investigations. By hook or by crook, we must get to the bottom of this case and find out who the mastermind was!
“Don’t worry, Evan. Our investigations will not stop here. I suspect they did all these to us because of the new product that we are developing. The product might affect a lot of businesses once it hits the market.”
Evan remained silent, but he believed the motive behind their actions was not as simple as this.
It must be something beyond our imagination!
“It’s too early for us to say anything now. Just carry on with the investigations first.”
“Alright. By the way, mom asked you to come home for dinner. I guess mom and dad are mad about your rumors. Make sure you know what to say to them!”
“I don’t have time for this nonsense,” Evan said without hesitation.
Davin froze for a bit and responded, “Are you serious? Dad is really mad about this. If you don’t come home tonight, he might explode.”
Evan paused for a moment and continued to focus on his work.
Upon seeing his reaction, Davin pursing his lips. What is he thinking? Is he not bothered by the rumors at all. Instead of removing the posts from social media, he even instructed people to maintain it as a trending topic for a longer period.
It’s as if he’s treating this as a publicity stunt.
It was obvious that Evan gained nothing from these rumors. On the contrary, Lane Corporation and even Nicole would benefit greatly from this as it would boost their business.
Therefore, Evan allowed this to happen just because he wanted to help Nicole and Lane Corporation.
Davin knew what Evan was thinking. He walked up to his desk and stared at his brother.
“It seems like you treat Nicole a little differently these days. Have you fallen in love with her?”
Evan tilted his head, squinted at him, responded with a killer stare, “How’s your relationship with Sheila? Do you want me to arrange something else for you two to work together?”
Davin’s expression changed all of a sudden. He put on a serious face, “You’re my brother, Evan. You cannot side with Sheep all the time.”
Evan thought about it and replied, “You two look good together.”
Davin begged to differ, and he retaliated, “Everyone thought you and Sofie are a match made in heaven, but you don’t like her too, do you?”
“So you see. Others might see us as a compatible couple, but this doesn’t mean we love each other. No matter how compatible a couple looks, they must have feelings for each other first,” Davin stood in front of his desk and spoke like a relationship consultant.
Evan was surprised to hear him speak like a grown-up man.
With a deadpan expression, Evan looked at Davin and waited for him to continue with his lecture.
Upon sensing an intimidating aura from a distance, Davin realized he had talked too much and immediately kept his mouth shut.
