“Even if you don’t love me, you must marry me! You have no other choice!”
As Daphne seemed emotional, Levant shot her a glance and left the dining room.
Her gaze darkened as she watched him walked away.
“Nicole Lane, how dare you take him from me in my turf! I’ll teach you a lesson!”
With that, she left the dining room angrily.
After returning to her room, Nicole was still wondering how could she get clues from Daphne.
If she isn’t related to Levant, could she be my sister?
Perhaps my father taught her the acupuncture skills.
That is a possibility.
She told Yoda about her assumption.
Frowning, Yoda replied, “You found out they aren’t related?”
“If they are related, they can’t get married. Daphne was obviously mad at me. She likes Levant and thinks I’m her love rival.”
Huh, something feels off.
She looked up and saw him gazing at her frostily down at her.
Nicole let out a guilty cough and explained, “It was a misunderstanding. Levant and I are not acquainted in any way.”
The man said nothing as he stared at her.
Nicole furrowed her brows. Is he upset? Why would he be upset?
She sighed and muttered, “It was rather exhausting to talk to Daphne. Stop doing this to me. I came here because I want to find out who my birth father is. Otherwise, I won’t suffer silently after being bullied.”
She was bullied?
Even though this wasn’t in his territory, there was no way he’d stand back and let his woman get bullied without retaliating.
“Just go back. I’ll take over the investigation,” he announced.
Nicole lifted her head, puzzled. Why would he ask me to go back? Has he misunderstood my relationship with Levant?
Well, my conscience is clear. I’m not afraid.
She glared at him and announced, “I won’t go back.” I’m not someone who gives up halfway!
Yoda fell silent and stop trying to convince her. Instead, he left her room without saying anything else.
Huh? Why is he leaving?
I haven’t even finished talking yet. I was planning to bring him along at midnight to find some clues in Daphne’s room.
Fine, I’ll have to go alone, then.
Nicole told her maids to leave earlier than usual in order for her to carry out her plan. She even put on a maid uniform and waited for midnight to come so she could head to Daphne’s room.
When it was almost time, she sneaked out of her room silently and walked to that woman’s room in her maid uniform.
The moment she reached the room, she finally realized why the latter had stayed here for five whole years. Her room was decorated so prettily and looked so cozy.
Daphne’s a stubborn woman, so it isn’t easy to dig out information. I shall steal a strand of her hair to do a DNA test. That will tell me if she’s my biological sister.
If she isn’t my sister and continues to insult me, I’ll make sure her misery is ten times worse!
Then I’ll find out who taught her the acupuncture skills.
If I found my birth father, I’ll bring him to Mom’s grave so he can apologize to her.
After making up her mind, she knocked out a maid who came back after retrieving something and took her place.
When she entered Daphne’s room, she could hear the latter yelling out of the window.
“You vixen, do you think you can seduce Levant after moving into the estate? You’re nothing but an ugly toad. I’ll send some men to teach you a lesson tonight. When your reputation is ruined, Levant will kick you out of the estate! Ha!” she declared angrily and kicked her table in frustration.
Thump! Nicole was shocked by the noise.
Damn it! She is so ruthless!
Luckily, I came to her room tonight. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have found out about her plan.
The other maids stood rooted to their positions like they hadn’t heard Daphne’s words.
