Preoccupied with rescuing their mother, Juan and Kyle did not notice that Maya was there.
Nina sighed. She thought Susan had bribed Maya with those candies, which was why Maya stayed in the former’s room for so long.
Meanwhile, Susan only allowed Maya to leave when her eyes were no longer red and there were no signs of her crying.
Before she left, Susan warned her, “Don’t tell anybody about this. Otherwise, your mommy will have to stay in that small dark room forever. Do you understand?”
Maya widened her eyes and nodded vigorously.
“Get out!” Susan yelled as she pointed to the door.
Rubbing her chubby hands against each other, Maya walked out of the room.
When Nina saw Maya coming back, she asked curiously, “Why took you so long? What did that bad woman tell you?”
Without a word, Maya shook her head. Anxiety was written all over her chubby face.
I can’t tell her. Otherwise, Mommy will have to suffer in that dark room forever.
Nina glanced at her. That evil woman really managed to bribe her.
Maya lowered her head and sat in a daze. Is Mommy okay?
Did she get beaten up? Has she eaten?
Meanwhile, Nicole was leaning against the cool wall with an angry expression on her face.
Recalling the scene earlier, she let out a miserable laugh before tears started to roll down her cheeks.
Evan, even if you misunderstand my relationship with Levant, you should not allow others to humiliate me like this.
Did you really think that I cheated on you? Is that why you allowed others to treat me like this?
Haha!
Evan, you are ruthless!
That terrible scene earlier replayed in her mind vividly.
That man seemed to be out of control as though he had taken some sort of drug and was all out to rape her. In such a place, if it weren’t the doing of Evan, who else had the power to order someone to do that?
In addition, he uttered, “Mr. Seet asked me to take good care of you. Well, when this is over, we’ll see if he still wants you. You filthy woman!”
Then, he pounced on her like a beast.
If I hadn’t learned medicine and managed to strike his acupoint, who knows what would have happened to me by now.
She felt like she was combating a ferocious wolf.
Although he did not manage to rape her, there were scars all over her body. The corner of her mouth bled when he slapped her, and he even kicked her in her stomach.
Evan’s ruthlessness was way beyond her imagination.
No wonder he is known as Lucifer.
I have never imagined that he would be so cruel to me.
Nicole’s heart ached so much she felt suffocated.
Well, I guess it’s right to say that love is as bitter as it is sweet. Today, she got to experience the meaning behind that saying.
On the other hand, Evan felt somewhat irritated while flipping through his documents in the office.
Then, John walked up to Evan and observed him while he massaged between his brows. John wanted to speak but did not dare to. Therefore, he stood in front of the desk like a statue.
Sighing, Evan said, “What’s wrong?”
Since Evan asked, he mustered his courage and did what he had to do. As Nicole usually treated him well, he felt that he should stand up for her.
“Mr. Seet, do you think Mrs. Seet is really Mr. Russell’s murderer? I believe she’s not that kind of person. Besides, Mrs. Seet and Mr. Russell have always been on good terms, so there is no good reason for her to do something like that.”
Without a word, Evan stared at him blankly with deep-set eyes.
John was nervous, and since Mr. Seet did not cut him off, he was unsure whether or not to continue.
Nonetheless, he decided to do so. “Mr. Seet, I think you should investigate what actually happened without delay and rescue Mrs. Seet.”
Evan’s expression dimmed upon hearing that, and he reached out to pick up the documents on the table. Then, he threw them at John and yelled, “Mind your own business!”
