I’ll make Zane pay for it!
“As long as you’re not upset, Nicole. You’re a strong woman, and a brave one too. I really never expected that you’d dare to throw a knife!”
When Rocky was done speaking, a dubious look appeared on Nicole’s face.
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing. I just meant that you put a stop to Sylvia when you threw the knife.”
Nicole abruptly halted in her steps, her expression completely changing.
“Rocky, you know very well who threw it. Even if you wanna praise me, you don’t have to say that I did it when it was really you.”
Rocky was dumbstruck.
His expression took on a drastic change as well.
“Me? Weren’t you the one who threw the knife?”
“I threw it? Weren’t you the one who threw it?”
Both of them stared at each other, recalling the earlier scene. Indeed, they did not get a good look at who threw the knife, and the next second, Sylvia was lying on the ground.
Could it be…
Don’t tell me…
A shiver ran down Nicole’s spine and a hint of panic crept into Rocky’s heart.
“It couldn’t have been Sylphiette who threw it, could it?”
“Impossible. Sylphiette didn’t even bring a knife.”
“Neither were we when we went there!”
Both of them fell silent.
There were only four of them in the entire house!
Suddenly, a gust of chilly wind blew past, making them shudder. Nicole looked at Rocky and forced out a strained smile. Then…
She ran!
“Wait! Wait for me!”
Rocky quickly ran after her.
Looking at the two people running like they were being chased by a ghost, Evan’s lips curved up into a mocking smile.
Scaredy cats. And they trying to scare other people?
Nicole’s taste in men is horrible.
Evan walked away and got into his car, then drove towards the hotel.
On the way there, he spotted Nicole and Rocky panting hard as they ran.
He contemplated stopping the car to pick Nicole up.
After a while, he dismissed the idea. I’ll give her a surprise back at the hotel instead. Hence, he floored the accelerator and sped off.
Very soon, he lost sight of them.
At the hotel, Nicole went back to her room and immediately locked the door.
It was really creepy just now. I should be more careful now.
She released a sigh. Then, she took her pajamas and went to the bathroom.
Standing beneath the showerhead, she breathed out a soft sigh, feeling as if a heavy weight had been lifted off her chest.
Finally, the truth was revealed.
Mom really wasn’t the culprit behind the hit-and-run.
Nicole felt relieved.
“Zane Lane, my mother is already dead because of you. She isn’t the culprit behind the hit-and-run, but you made her take the blame for you? You planned it really well, didn’t you? I’ll be sure to even the scores with you when I get back!”
After mumbling under her breath, she began showering.
After her shower, she put on her pajamas and exited the bathroom. She climbed into bed and fished out her phone.
Looking at Sophia’s post on social media, her lips arched into a contented smile.
It was a photo of the clothes she bought for the four children. Nina chose a princess costume, which looked beautiful and stylish.
Maya chose a set of cartoon-printed clothes. Coupled with the hand sign Maya was making, she looked incredibly adorable.
Kyle and Juan chose clothes that were cooler in style, looking super smart and handsome.
“Leaving you with the Seets is a much better choice. You’ll all want for nothing there.”
However, she still couldn’t bear it.
She couldn’t bear to leave them with the Seets just like that.
“Mommy will go and visit you kids soon. Very soon.”
Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears. She reached up to wipe them off before forcing her lips into a bitter smile.
With that, she switched off the lights.
She closed her eyes and was just about to fall asleep when she suddenly felt that something wasn’t right.
Something seemed to be moving next to her.
She stretched out a hand to touch it, realizing that that something was rather huge.
With that, she poked and prodded more.
It had a head, a body, and arms…
F**k!
It’s a human?
She jolted in fright and sat up abruptly.
“Who is it?”
She screamed at the top of her lungs and hurriedly fumbled to turn on the lights.
Evan’s hand shot out to grab her fair wrist. He deliberately lowered his voice into a husky rumble.
“Miss, we offer special services for free. Would you like to try it? I’ll make sure you’re satisfied!”
