“Who are you looking for?”
“Davin Seet.”
“Who are you?”
“His sister-in-law.”
“His sister-in-law? His brother is dead. Who the hell cares about his sister-in-law?”
A loud sneer came from the other end of the line, and her tone a disdainful one.
Nicole had not expected the woman to be so rude, despite her soft voice.
“Just shut the hell up and hand the phone over to Davin.”
“Davin, someone is cursing at me!”
The woman continued whining until Davin took the phone.
When he looked at the caller ID, he queried, “Nicole, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Why did you break off the engagement with Sheila?”
There was a momentary silence. A complication expression flashed past Davin’s eyes as a faint smile crept upon his lips. “Why not? I don’t have feelings for her anymore.”
How dismissive is his reason!
So he doesn’t have feelings for Sheila anymore, but he has them for an escort? Who on earth is this escort?
“Who picked up the phone earlier?”
“Maisie.”
“She’s an escort? What’s going on?”
Nicole did not want to address her as an escort, but the other woman was so rude earlier. She was not going to extend her kindness to someone that rude.
Davin’s expression turned bitter. There was no place for him to vent the bitterness in him.
“Davin, my stomach doesn’t feel well. Can you please bring me to the hospital?” Maisie whined as she tugged on his arm.
“Nicole, I’m busy, so I’ll hang up first.”
Anger spiked in Nicole as she stared at the dimmed screen of her phone.
“I can’t believe Davin abandoned Sheila for an escort. And a rude one at that! This is absurd.”
A grave expression flitted across Evan’s eyes. This might not be as simple as everyone thinks it is.
I heard the escort saying that her stomach feels unwell. She can’t be pregnant, can she?
“Do you think Davin will ruin the Seet Group? Evan, why don’t you go back first?”
Evan was silent for a brief moment. “We’ll go back together when you’ve fully recovered. Don’t worry. I’ll make arrangements to take care of this matter. Nothing will go wrong.”
How can I not worry for leaving her here alone?
Both Levant and Stephen are interested in Nicole.
Most importantly, someone is trying to kill her.
Even if the Seet Group were to collapse tomorrow, he would not leave her here; he could always establish another company.
“Stop worrying about it. Rest now.”
Nicole nodded. Just as she was about to lie down, she asked him about the children.
“Why are you worrying about everything? John is taking care of them. Just get some rest.”
No mother would not worry about their children; she was pretty normal to worry about them.
Just as she lay down, someone knocked on the room door.
When Evan saw the visitor, his expression turned ice cold.
Without waiting for a response, Levant entered the room.
“Nicole, are you feeling better?”
“She’s asleep. Don’t disturb her.”
Evan was glaring daggers at Levant.
Between the two men, there was a score involving a life that had yet to be settled.
On the bed, Nicole kept her eyes shut, pretending to be asleep.
If she were to sit up and speak to Levant at this time, Evan would definitely be angry.
Moreover, she would be embarrassing him if she suddenly sat up after Evan had told Levant that she was asleep.
Forget it.
I don’t want to deal with him now.
She no longer wanted to find out her identity at the estate, so it was time for her to end her act with Levant.
A dark look flashed past Levant’s eyes.
“Well then, I won’t disturb her any longer. I hope she gets a good rest.”
With that said, he turned and left.
When Levant was leaving the hospital, he received news that Stephen had assigned his men to protect Nicole from the shadows.
Taking her away and using her to threaten Stephen did not seem like an easy move anymore.
Levant fell deep into his thoughts. I wasn’t expecting him to assign guards to her at this time.
Did he find out about something to have done this?
If so, I might need to change my plan.
