Hmph! Even if he misunderstood that there’s something going on between me and Levant, he still shouldn’t have been with Susan on purpose.
Holding that thought in her head, Nicole felt as if she was suffocated by it.
Meanwhile, Evan had just finished bathing and was drying his hair. Coincidentally, his phone rang and he answered.
“Mr. Seet, something has happened at the company.”
“What is it?”
“One of our projects has encountered a problem. The previous project manager who may have been bribed filed a complaint. He said that the materials of our energy-saving equipment are substandard. Hence, all the energy-saving equipment in the A zone has been reaudited. And the auditors found problems with them. Consequently, we are unable to complete the project and will be in breach of our contractual obligations.”
“What?”
Evan was both shocked and surprised. He walked towards his study with the phone in his hands.
At the same time, Nicole was stunned when she overheard Evan’s conversation. The consecutive problems at Seet Group seemed to be caused by Levant.
Am I the reason Levant is attacking Evan relentlessly?
Silent in thought, she suddenly received a message from Levant: Something has happened to the Seet Group again. I wonder if foolish Evan still has the energy to manage?
It’s really him!
Nicole texted back: Levant, what are you planning to do?
In just a few moments, another text message appeared, reading: Nicole, if you want his misfortune to end, you should break ties with him as soon as possible. Five days later when you see Dad, we will return to K Nation together.
Return to K Nation in five days?
Levant told her that he would take her to see Stephen five days later. She didn’t expect him to have such a plan.
He must be resolute in making sure I break up with Evan.
With that in mind, Nicole replied: Levant, I’ll hate you if you do this.
Ding! Another message popped out: It doesn’t matter. I don’t care about what you think of me as long as I can see you. Anyway, consider your options carefully. Or else, Evan will face a devastating catastrophe next!
Clenching her phone, Nicole’s heart raced furiously.
Despite the strength of the Seet Group, Levant was ruthless in his methods even if it meant mutual destruction. Nevertheless, it was still devastating for Evan.
Five days.
If I refuse him in five days, will he do something even more drastic?
My father’s life.
The stability of Seet Group.
Should I leave with Levant?
It’s not like Evan can’t be together with Susan. Weren’t they happy when they watched the stars together?
Laying on her bed, she turned around restlessly as she couldn’t sleep at all. It was already midnight when Evan returned to the room exhausted.
Nicole asked softly, “What happened?”
Evan replied. “It’s nothing.” Getting back into bed, he closed his eyes.
Silence ensued.
Evan will be fine.
Everything will be alright.
The next day.
The weather was clear on a weekend.
The children didn’t need to go to school; hence, they wreaked havoc at home. Juan was making a fuss about going to Seet Residence to visit Grandpa and Grandma.
Maya nodded in agreement. “Mommy, my dietician has taught me how to make new desserts. I want to let Grandpa and Grandma try them.”
Since it was rare for Maya to be so filial, Nicole nodded. “Alright. I’ll take you to Seet Residence. I need to enquire about the latest news on Uncle Davin anyway.”
“Okay.”
Juan and Maya cheered in joy. Despite having no reaction, Kyle and Nina were also secretly glad.
After driving to Seet Residence, Nicole unexpectedly bumped into Susan at the entrance.
What is she doing here?
When Susan saw them, she greeted them warmly.
“Ms. Lane, what a coincidence.”
“That’s right, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Susan grinned. “I was with Evan last night, and he mentioned that his mother was not feeling well. So, I dropped by for a visit.”
Nicole was speechless.
Is Sophia not feeling well? Why didn’t I know about it?
Evan didn’t tell me, and yet he told Susan. What’s the meaning of this?
When Susan saw Nicole’s expression darken, her eyes flashed with joy. “Ms. Lane, why don’t we go in together?”
Nicole nodded. The four children dashed into the living hall just like young ponies unleashed into the wild.
The moment they entered the bedroom, they saw Sophia sitting on a luxurious leather sofa with an IV drip connected to her.
