Evan turned and looked at Nicole in shock.
His gaze was razor-sharp, and it sent a chill down Nicole’s spine. She had never seen such a terrifying expression from Evan.
Consequently, she wondered if it was something Levant had said or did he really believe that she killed Russell.
Her heart skipped a beat when the thought crossed her mind.
If Evan doesn’t believe me, who else will?
The next moment, Evan’s lips moved slightly. Word by word, he asked, “Is he worth killing someone for?”
Nicole didn’t really understand what he meant, but from Evan’s bloodshot eyes, she could see the sorrow in them. He must be really devastated. The kind that is beyond comprehension.
“Speak!”
She couldn’t help but tremble when he screamed at her furiously. “Wh-what do you want me to say?”
“Are you leaving with him two days later?”
Clenching her fists, Nicole faintly nodded.
Only by leaving with Levant, will he give her father back his freedom and stop the clandestine attacks on the Seet Group.
Evan was shaken to the core in disbelief. In his trembling voice, he clarified with her, “I-is it real? Are you leaving with him?”
Nicole squeeze her fingers and nodded.
“Didn’t I tell you that I may have feelings for him?”
Evan emanated a terrifying aura just like a demon from hell. He clenched his fists so tightly that she could hear his knuckles cracking.
At that moment, Russell’s second and third sons rushed toward them.
Adam and Ryan quickly approached Evan.
Adam seethed, “Evan, causing the death of your Grandpa is a serious crime. If you dare protect her and let her go, don’t blame me for breaking ties with you! I’ll be the first to beat you up!”
Ryan raged along, “Evan, if you still consider yourself as a grandson and a member of the Seet family, you must seek justice for your Grandpa. This woman must pay in blood!”
When she saw the sorrow on Evan’s face, Sophia couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.
She knew that Evan was in unimaginable anguish. His love for Nicole was unwavering, and he definitely wouldn’t want to see her hurt.
However, on the other side, Russell was his beloved Grandpa, and he was feeling immense pressure from the other members of the Seet family. Hence, the circumstances had forced him to choose one side.
Seeing that he was in a dilemma, Sophia stepped forward. “Perhaps there’s more to the matter than meets the eye? Maybe Nicole isn’t the perpetrator…”
“Sophia! It’s Russell here that we’re talking about. Even if you want to be biased, you still shouldn’t side with that woman.”
Lisa interrupted Sophia angrily as she glared at her. She then turned to Evan. “Evan, tell me, what are you going to do?”
“Evan, remember that the whole Seet family is watching. You have to careful not to act based on your emotions.”
Facing immense pressure, Evan could feel his battered heart continue to be scorched. Every second felt like an eternity under such tormenting circumstances.
He clenched his fists and declared, “Send her to prison.”
Nicole stared at Evan’s reddened eyes as she felt her heart freeze over.
Evan wants me to go to prison. Does it mean he doesn’t believe me?
“It really wasn’t me. I didn’t do it. Why would I harm Grandpa? I…”
“Ms. Lane, you better save those words for the police. I believe they will get to the bottom of the matter. If you are innocent, they will clear your name. Evan has been through enough so you should empathize with him,” Susan interrupted her abruptly.
She then approached Evan and stayed quietly by his side.
When Nicole saw them standing together, she lost the will to explain.
That’s right. Evan and Susan will be together next time. They do look compatible standing by each other’s side.
After all, I want them to be together.
