Stephen had always known that Levant’s true identity was anything but ordinary; still, he was nervous when he was that close to the truth.
Portia scoffed and said, “He is Murphy’s son, Murphy’s biological son!”
No one spoke.
Waves of surprise smashed into Stephen after Portia told everyone the truth. It was so shocking that Stephen had a hard time standing still.
He turned to Portia; he couldn’t figure out why she would adopt Murphy’s son.
They both knew how scary and powerful Murphy was.
“Who is Murphy?” asked Nicole. The door to the secret passageway flung open as soon as she asked that question. Jeremy had returned to report something urgent.
“Mr. Seet, something terrible happened. We had just exited the cave when a mysterious group showed up and took Levant away.”
No one said a word.
Stephen’s face darkened.
The leader of that mysterious group was probably Murphy himself.
If Murphy had rescued and taken Levant away, then it was likely that a bloodbath was coming for the Musgrave Estate.
“Investigate the matter and find out who they are,” instructed Evan. Portia suddenly sneered.
“There’s no need for that. The ones who took Levant away must be Murphy’s men. Stephen Musgrave, your enemy has shown up.”
“Who is Murphy?” asked Nicole again.
“He is just the head of a bunch of hooligans. I am the duke, so naturally, I can deal with him with ease. You guys don’t need to worry at all. I will have my men look into the matter and settle it accordingly. Go pack your things and leave as soon as possible,” instructed Stephen.
Nicole was rendered speechless.
He is chasing us away so eagerly. That Murphy must be a force to be reckoned with.
Evan kept quiet. He thought that Stephen’s life wouldn’t be threatened regardless of how powerful Murphy was.
After all, the estate had tons of guards and servants, and they were all somewhat capable.
Moreover, Levant had been taken away. If he somehow regained his memory, his first target would be Evan.
Staying in the country might not be a wise choice, given the situation. It’s probably better for us to monitor Levant and Murphy from a distance and act accordingly.
Before Evan left the country, he instructed Jeremy to keep a close eye on the estate and to report directly to him should anything happen.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Seet. I know what to do.”
Evan and Nicole stood outside the estate. Nicole couldn’t help thinking that Stephen looked strange when Murphy’s name was mentioned.
“Will something bad happen?”
“No, and stop overthinking everything.”
Nicole sighed internally. She prayed that everything would be fine with Stephen.
On the plane.
Nicole turned to Evan and asked, “Do you think the others will be frightened when they see you?”
Only then did Evan recall that everyone else thought that he had died when the plane crashed.
They will be so surprised when they see me alive and standing in front of them.
“Should I put on a disguise and only show up when the timing is right?”
When the timing is right…
Nicole thought about it. That makes sense, too. We have no idea how the Seet Group is doing. If other factions had been trying to steal the company’s shares from our family, they will be scared sh*tless when Evan shows up.
The only problem was that they didn’t know if their kids had already blabbed about Evan being alive.
Evan then called John to ask about the situation.
The call was picked up soon after.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Seet. I reminded the kids right after we landed and told them not to say a word about it.”
Huh, my kids are pretty tight-lipped. Good, it’ll be much easier for me to deal with the matter that way.
Evan hung up the call and turned to Nicole.
“I’ll put on the Yoda mask when we reach the Seet residence.”
Nicole nodded.
I wonder if Sophia and Jonathan will kick their son’s butt after learning about him faking his own death.
Nicole planned to sit back with her popcorn and watch the drama unfold if that actually happened.
Evan had tricked Nicole as well, so she knew what it felt like to be fooled. I’ll be understanding and allow the victims to vent their frustration as they see fit.
At the Seet residence.
The quadruplets turned and smiled at one another when they saw Nicole walking in with Yoda right beside her.
It’s Daddy in that scary mask again. Looks like we have to play along with them.
“Mommy, I miss you so much.”
“It’s only been two days, and you miss me already?”
