Nicole wanted to ask Levant whether it was his or her idea to get engaged.
If it was she who wanted to get engaged, Nicole wondered what did her old self see in Levant.
Maybe it’s because of my lapse in memory that I can’t remember the fondness I had for him?
If Nicole were given a chance to reconsider, she figured that she would need to carefully consider her engagement with Levant.
Nevertheless, it was irrefutable that Levant had been nothing but caring and loving towards her.
Upon leaving the estate, Levant immediately ordered his people to look up where Evan was currently staying at. He intended to remove him from the picture.
Even though Nicole didn’t like him, Levant figured that it was better to be safe than sorry. He intended to keep Evan as far away from Nicole as possible.
“Alright, Mr. Levant. We’ll settle it now.”
Meanwhile, Evan and his secretary John arrived at their hotel. To their surprise, the receptionist at the lobby requested them to check out of their rooms.
“Why do we have to check out of our rooms now? We have already paid!” John was boiling with rage.
“We apologize for the inconvenience we have caused you. We will compensate you with double the rates you paid for your room. Kindly take your leave now.”
The receptionist took out a bank card from beneath the counter.
Evan scowled. He could tell right away what was the issue.
Levant was Stephen Musgrave’s former son and Murphy Morris’ current son. Murphy was an unrestrained and vicious man. Of course, the personnel at the hotel had to conform to Levant’s wishes out of fear for Murphy.
Evan could comprehend the hotel’s decision. They were merely trying to save themselves from trouble.
“John, let’s go.”
Mr. Seet is okay with them kicking us out?
Perhaps this is our best course of action given the current circumstances.
John sighed as he retrieved their belongings from their room and left with Evan.
“Mr. Seet, where should we go now? Should we look for Jeremy?”
John figured that Jeremy Duncan would surely welcome them at his abode.
He was one of Evan’s most trustworthy spy.
Evan turned his head around to look at John with ridicule. Are you in your right mind?
“If we look for Jeremy right now, we might expose his location to our enemies. He will get into trouble.”
“Then where shall we go, Mr. Seet?”
John pursed his lips. We can’t possibly sleep on the streets, right?
He initially thought that they could successfully bring Nicole back home. Not only could they not do that, but John also had to bear with Evan’s sullen mood now.
Evan pondered for a while before saying, “Since he’s trying so hard to make us leave, let’s stay somewhere he can never chase us away from.”
“Where is it?”
Evan didn’t reply to John. He led his secretary to a hill overgrown with tall shrubs behind the Musgrave Estate.
There was a secret entrance there that would lead them into the estate. Evan wanted to enter the estate via this channel and question Stephen Musgrave about everything.
The two of them carefully waded into the secret entrance. Several minutes later, they reached a door behind which laid a path to Stephen’s study. They then realized that it wouldn’t budge.
Evan immediately postulated that Stephen must have sealed off the entrance as there were quite a number of people who knew its existence.
“Then what should we do now, Mr. Seet?”
After failing to enter the estate through both its main and secret entrance, Evan had to resort to his backup plan.
“We will climb over the fences and sneak in.”
“Huh?”
Mr. Seet sure is desperate to get back his wife! He’s willing to scale the walls even when it’s already so dark now?
John could only sigh helplessly.
The two of them quickly crept into the estate after noticing that there was no one watching them.
Fortunately, they had been to the Musgrave Estate before, which made navigating easy.
Once they got into the estate, they hurriedly found a hiding spot and waited for their chance to get to the study.
John shook his head as he squatted next to Evan in a bush which could conceal them well. He was begrudged on Evan’s behalf as Evan had to act like a thief even though he was the president of Seet Group.
He rambled on quietly, “Tsk, who does Sir Musgrave think he is? First, he denied us entry, then he rejected your calls. This is preposterous! Later if he acts up when you question him nicely, I swear I’ll wring his neck, and-”
Evan turned to face John. “You should say this to Nicole. Let’s see how she’ll react.”
John was dumbstruck.
He would never in a million years dare to badmouth Stephen Musgrave in Nicole’s presence.
Nicole had a fiery temper that he was terrified of.
John shut his mouth and stopped blabbering.
Once there were no bodyguards in sight, the two of them scurried in the direction of Stephen’s study.
