As he spoke, Yoda passed his card to the salesgirl.
The salesgirl hadn’t expected someone to be able to buy so many expensive pieces in one go.
She took the card from Yoda gleefully.
As she caught sight of his terrifying face, she sighed inwardly. To think that such an ugly man is capable of loving a woman this much! We really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
She glanced at Nicole with slight envy. Deep down, the salesgirl promised herself to focus on finding a man who could buy her everything she wanted, rather than just someone handsome.
“We don’t need to buy all of them,” Nicole said with a frown.
“You can pick more, actually. Why not that one over there? It suits you.”
Nicole suddenly realized how differently Evan viewed money compared to herself.
“No, these are already more than enough.”
“Here you go, Miss. Have a good day!”
The salesgirl passed them the clothes packed in a number of shopping bags, and Yoda carried them all as they left the mall.
Sylphiette, who was still watching them, huffed coldly.
“That man treats her so well, but he’s just so ugly.”
“Ugly? Without that hideous mask on, you’ll probably be stunned by his looks.”
Sylphiette frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Do you know who that is?”
“No, who is it?”
“That’s Evan Seet!”
“What? Isn’t he dead?” Sylphiette asked in shock.
The man scoffed coldly. “I saw him myself at the estate. He kept following Nicole around but he had the mask on the whole time.”
Evan isn’t dead?
With Nicole’s face, not only could she save her dad, but she could also enjoy the feeling of being Sir Musgrave’s daughter and Evan Seet’s wife.
When she thought about all the things married couples do, her heart started racing.
It would be great if I get to be like that with Evan.
“You’ve already messed up my initial plan of going to Rose Garden and pretending to be a younger Nicole. This time, you’d better do a good job.”
“I will.”
Her face, eerily similar to Nicole’s, twisted into a sinister yet seductive smile.
At two in the afternoon, the Seet Group’s board meeting officially started.
Evan stood next to Nicole with Yoda’s mask still on.
The board members sat in their respective places; Sophia and Jonathan showed up as well.
Ryan and Adam sat opposite each other. They were both clearly prepared to relentlessly crush one another to gain full control of the company.
The meeting started with Ryan rattling off all the viral headlines about Adam hiring someone to kill his lover and unborn child.
Ryan then argued, “How can someone like that be fit to run the Seet Group? It will only taint our company’s reputation. In fact, our share price dropped more than ever because of him. He should be responsible for these losses! I say we take back his shares and kick him out of the company.”
Adam had expected Ryan to say those things. He took out his own stack of information and was ready to claim his innocence.
“I have evidence that can prove that Ryan was the one who told that woman to frame me. The woman is not pregnant with my child——she’s pregnant with Ryan’s. He did all this to chase me out of the company! Someone as cunning and calculative as he is not fit to be a part of our company.”
Adam’s words caused a flurry of conversation between the board members.
“What’s going on?”
“Who’s telling the truth?”
“Obviously, Adam is telling the truth.”
“No, Ryan’s the one telling the truth.”
Davin looked at Yoda, feeling as though the man must have some kind of psychic powers.
Yoda did say that Adam would prove his innocence no matter what. And he really did.
