A look of ferocity flashed in her eyes and she made a call.
Nicole walked into her office and had barely sat down when her mobile phone rang.
A series of calls came in, each one about terminating agreements with her.
Humans’ feelings change easily. The world is a cruel place.
When news of her relationship with Evan got out, everyone sought her out to sign an agreement with her.
As soon as undesirable rumors about her got out, one by one they came to terminate their agreements.
Humans are so down to earth.
Sheila sat nearby, her anger shown clearly on her face, as she insisted these people should not be doing this.
Nicole smiled gently. Then, her phone rang again.
This call was no exception. The caller wanted the agreement terminated.
After receiving all these calls, she felt that all the hope Lane Corporation had been given was now dashed.
In these present circumstances, what should I do?
Sheila could see her sadness and she consoled her, promising that Mu Group would cooperate with her.
“Thank you.”
After Sheila left, Nicole sat down in her office chair, rather disheartened.
In that instant, a phrase she heard somewhere came to her mind, ‘I have seen the high rise building come up and I saw it collapse.’
She was caught off guard and had no power to defend herself. In the face of adversity, she was so useless…
Meanwhile, in the Seet Group headquarters, John did as Evan instructed him to and then he hurried into the president’s office.
“Mr. Seet, everything has been arranged.”
“Fine, in an hour’s time, broadcast the press conference live!”
“Mr. Seet, have you thought about the consequences of doing this?”
John’s face was full of worry as he looked at Evan.
“I have thought about it.” Evan replied emphatically.
“Since you have thought about the consequences, then…” Why would you still do it?
“As long as she can get out of trouble, I do not care about the consequences.”
John was speechless.
In ancient mythology, a thousand ships were launched for the lovely Helen of Troy, which started the Trojan Wars.
And now, in order to help Nicole out, you will not hesitate to act and destroy yourself!
This courage and determination were really admirable.
Even though John believed the cost was too high, he could not help but secretly admire this man.
Evan got up, left the president’s office, and drove to the kindergarten.
Nina and Maya were shocked when they saw Evan coming to pick them up before school was over.
After greeting their teacher, he took them both out of class.
Maya blinked at him with her huge eyes, asking, “Uncle Evan, did Mommy ask you to fetch us?”
Evan smiled as he held her plump little hand, “You two, can you do Uncle Evan a favor?”
“What type of favor?” Nina rolled her eyes and looked at him warily.
“Uncle Evan is facing some problems, and I need you both to overcome this together with me. When the matter passes, I will thank you very much. You will also…”
“We will also what?” Maya asked curiously.
“You will have a big, pleasant surprise.” Evan smiled but kept it secret as he caressed her on her head.
We will be one family.
“You promised I can go to the art academy on weekends. Does that still count?” Nina looked at him as if it were a condition.
Evan nodded his head, “As long as you help me with this, no matter what you wish, I will give it to you.”
Both of them thought over it and Maya who had always liked him nodded her head first.
“Uncle Evan, I will help you.”
Nina set two more conditions before agreeing.
Evan bought both some desserts and then he drove straight to the press conference.
Seeing such a large crowd and so many cameras, Nina stopped in her tracks, knitted her tiny brows, and looked up at Evan, “Oh dear! Not good!”
Evan bent his head and looked at the panicky little girl. Puzzled, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
“If you said earlier that there’d be a crowd, I would have put on some makeup.”
“You don’t need makeup at all. You are pretty just the way you are.”
Nina was quiet.
Really?
Nina blinked her eyes as she looked at Evan.
Nevertheless, she still wanted to put on makeup as she wanted to appear pretty in front of the cameras.
