Nicole was indifferent as she demanded, “Spit it out. I am rushing to pick up my children.”
“Don’t rush me. Sit down; let’s have a cup of coffee first,” Sylphiette offered.
Nicole sat down on the bench, repeatedly lifting and putting down the cup of coffee. I must be cautious around her. The coffee may have been poisoned. With that, she refrained from drinking the coffee.
“How did you find out about the leak of confidential information?” she immediately asked.
“Before I answer this question, I have a surprise for you,” Sylphiette stated.
“What surprise are you talking about?” she asked as she grew alert and stared at her back. She can’t possibly give me a good surprise.
“Don’t be too shocked by it,” Sylphiette said.
With that, the woman turned around to face Nicole and let out an evil smirk.
“Are you surprised?”
Nicole was stunned. “What happened to your face?” she queried.
Did Sylphiette go for plastic surgery to look exactly like me?
What is she trying to do?
Instantly, Nicole got a hunch that she was up to no good again.
She stood up. Just as she was about to leave, the door of the cafe locked.
A familiar face appeared before her with a wide grin.
“It’s you… Aren’t you…” Nicole stammered.
“Sorry about that. Acupuncture only caused me to lose my memory for two days. After eating my medicine, I regained my memory.”
“Who?” Nicole asked.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain on her neck. Her vision turned black, causing her to fall to the ground.
“Bring her away.”
“You better watch out and take care of yourself, Sylphiette.”
…
At this moment, Nicole’s four children were waiting at the entrance of the kindergarten. Their friends had all left, but their mom had not arrived. Instantly, they bent their heads down in sorrow.
Maya asked disappointedly, “Could something have happened to Mommy?”
Kyle glanced at his sister and replied, “Wait awhile. She’s probably on her way soon.”
Juan calmly added, “That’s right, she will surely come for us.”
Nina stared afar. A few minutes later, a bright light caught her attention. “Look! Mommy is here for us!” she exclaimed.
The car slowed to a stop. Sylphiette grinned as she walked towards the four children.
“My dear kids, I’m here to pick you up,” she said.
“Mommy, you’re finally here.”
“Mommy, did you have something to do?”
“Yes, Mommy was busy with work which is why I’m late. Let’s go home now.”
Maya reached out to grab her hand. Sylphiette grimaced the hand that was stained with ink and instantly furrowed her eyebrows in disgust.
“What’s wrong Mommy?” Maya asked.
To act like your Mom, I will do anything!
“It’s nothing,” Sylphiette sweetly replied.
She faked a smile and held onto Maya’s hand as they walked towards the car.
Once they got in the car, the four children chatted nonstop. In order to ensure that she maintains her facade, Sylphiette tried not to open her mouth and interact much with them.
When they reached Imperial Garden, all four of them dashed to their rooms like wild horses.
Sylphiette stood in the yard and looked at the empty garden, letting out a sigh.
She had thought that the garden would be filled with maids. She had thought she could live her life as madam president. Who would have thought that the Lane family had become so pathetic?
Only a few maids are left in the Lane family.
Nicole must have fired several maids just to put on a show for Evan.
She must be f*cking stupid!
“Mommy, what are we having for dinner?” Maya questioned.
Sylphiette walked towards the living room and returned the question to the young girl, “What do you guys want to eat?”
“I want to have braised meat, minced meat dish, meat balls…”
Each child listed all the dishes they liked.
“Alright, I’ll make them all for you,” she replied.
She hesitantly walked into the kitchen and stood there for quite a while. She had no idea how to cook any of the dishes they named and was worried they would become suspicious because of it.
She thought about it and finally came up with a ruthless plan.
