He went to Summervale only to find that Nicole had indeed come back and even taken away all of her clothes!
She had also dropped by Lane Corporation to pass the company’s projects to the senior management.
It seemed like she was really doing everything she could to hide from him!
Nicole, should I continue searching for you, or wait for you to come to me on your own?
A conflicted emotion flickered in Evan’s eyes.
Thereafter, he called John.
“Mr. Seet, what can I do for you?”
“I need you to do something for me…”
When Evan was done, John seemed to be in a daze and only regained his senses after a few seconds.
By that time, the other man had already hung up the call.
John stared at his phone screen as it gradually darkened, sighing softly.
He couldn’t help but exclaim, “When did Yan Group offend Mr. Seet? If I really carry out Mr. Seet’s orders, I’m afraid they’ll be swimming in their own tears in no time!”
John carried out Evan’s orders, making one phone call after another. Every call was like a lightning strike aimed at Yan Group!
Finally, he intentionally spread the news that someone from the Yan family had offended Mr. Seet and caused the destruction of Yan Group.
Upon hearing the disastrous news, Ian’s heart wrenched in pain and he burst with rage.
He sent out people to find out just who in the family had stepped on Evan Seet’s toes, and what that person did.
In the end, Rocky became the target of criticism.
It wasn’t just the Yan family who blamed him, but even the company’s board of directors kept calling Ian for an explanation.
Ian was livid as he glared at Rocky, who was kneeling on the floor and launched a kick at his chest.
“You useless brat! You messed up because of that woman again! It was also because of her the last time. Didn’t I already tell you to stay away from her? But you… You completely disregarded what I said and even dragged down Yan Group with you! Tell me! Tell me how I should punish you!”
Rocky’s heart was filled with rage at this moment.
After he found out that Evan had come looking for Nicole, he checked out of the hotel that night itself and fled back to the country. So, he couldn’t understand why Evan was doing this to him.
Evan didn’t even hesitate to shoot down Yan Group, so Rocky wasn’t going to take this lying down!
“Dad, I’ll handle this matter. I’ll go and look for Evan Seet right now!”
With that, he got to his feet and walked out.
Ian watched his son’s retreating figure. With worry churning in his stomach, he sternly reminded, “Speak nicely to him when you see him. If you provoke him again, you can forget about coming back here!”
Rocky stiffened. Does that mean I’d have to hand Yan Group to those two illegitimate kids?
No way!
He clenched his fists and walked out of Yan Group.
Evan Seet. What exactly did I ever do to you to deserve this?
I have to clear things up with him.
He started the car and sped towards Seet Group.
When he reached Seet Group’s lobby, the front desk stopped him from going up.
“I’m sorry, sir. You need an appointment to meet with our president.”
“I’ll make one for right now!”
The front desk employee gave him an awkward smile. “Our president’s schedule is already fully booked for these two days. You’ll have to wait in line.”
Rocky was speechless.
He looked around restlessly and spotted John coming out of the elevator just as it opened.
He quickly went up to greet him.
“Mr. Lindt, I need to see Mr. Seet.”
John was stunned to see Rocky. Indeed, Mr. Seet’s prediction was spot-on. This man actually came here to look for him just like he said.
John cleared his throat before answering, “Mr. Yan, follow me.”
In the president’s office on the highest floor.
Evan, who was leaning languidly against his executive chair, stared at Rocky for a while.
Rocky felt immensely uncomfortable under the man’s intense gaze. He drew in a deep breath before speaking, “Mr. Seet, I have a question for you.”
“Go ahead.”
“I heard rumors saying that you dealt Yan Group a blow because of me.”
Evan continued looking at him and replied in a firm tone, “No. They’re not rumors, but cold, hard facts!”
Rocky gulped.
Anger sparked in his eyes. “May I know how I’ve offended you, Mr. Seet?”
“Since you want to know, I’ll cut straight to the chase. Where is Nicole right now?”
Nicole?
Rocky’s brows scrunched in confusion.
“Mr. Seet, isn’t she with you?”
“Are you sure she didn’t return to the country with you?”
Rocky remained silent as he steadily met Evan’s eyes. “Yes. I’m sure.”
