John was at a loss for words.
Is Mr. Seet annoyed because I talked too much? Well, it makes sense. With his astuteness, he should have known all that.
Why is he not finding a way to help Mrs. Seet then?
John could not understand what was on the man’s mind. Picking up the documents thrown at him, he sighed before leaving the office.
Evan leaned back against his chair and narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
After so many days, is Nicole still planning to leave with Levant?
Recently, while Levant had been finding ways to go against the Seet Group, Evan had been doing the same to Levant’s business as well. They were taking drastic measures to destroy each other.
Although the Seet Group suffered tremendous loss, Levant did not gain any advantage either. Soon, Levant’s company will lose a foothold in the country. When he leaves, Nicole will never be able to see him again.
In this life, I don’t want Nicole to see Levant ever again.
Two days later, after multiple discussions, the quadruplets finally found a way to leave Hillside Villa to rescue their mommy.
After Juan finished explaining, he looked at his siblings and asked, “Do you have any other questions about what we have to do?”
Kyle gave it some thought before he replied, “Nope.”
Following suit, Nina also responded, “I have no questions either and will definitely play my part well.”
With that, she turned to look at Maya beside her.
She realized that Maya had been awfully silent during their meetings.
“Maya, did that bad woman bribe you with candy? Is that why you don’t even want to save Mommy?” she accused.
Maya merely shook her head vigorously.
“That’s good then. You seem to have a close relationship with her, so you shall be the one to lure her out.”
Hearing that, a hint of fear appeared in Maya’s eyes. Previously, when she commented that the spaghetti was salty, Susan pinched her buttocks and even warned that if the quadruplets ever tried to fool her, she would not let Maya off.
At the thought of being punished, Maya rubbed her palms together nervously. “No, let’s not make fun of her.”
Feeling betrayed, Nina glared at Maya. “What’s wrong? Are you in cahoots with her?”
Maya shook her head again.
She was truly terrified that Susan would beat her into a pulp. Besides, Susan was brutal, and her beatings were very painful.
At the same time, she was afraid to tell her siblings the truth because she did not want her mommy to be stuck in prison forever.
Juan thought Maya was too kind that she felt bad about lying. Therefore, he suggested, “Let’s not force Maya to do it. I will lure her out instead.”
Maya stared at Juan in surprise.
On the other hand, Nina sighed. She complained, “We can never count on Maya. She’s useless.”
“Stop scolding her. She’s only worried for Mommy,” Kyle spoke up for Maya.
In response, Nina rolled her eyes and stopped talking.
Then, they started to carry out their plan. Running to Susan’s room, Juan acted as though he was extremely anxious.
“Ms. Susan, something went wrong. Please open the door!” he yelled.
When the door opened, Susan looked at Juan in annoyance. “What do you want?”
“Ms. Susan, Nina fell into the pond at the rear house. Please help her!” Juan sobbed.
Susan was shocked. How could it have happened?
Who cares whether Nina is alive or not? However, since I volunteered to take care of them, how can I explain myself if anything goes wrong?
“Hurry, please take a look!” Juan begged.
With Juan leading the way, Susan hurried to the rear house.
When they finally reached the pond, Kyle looked into the pond worriedly while Maya was rooted to the ground. She looked lost like a deer in the headlights.
Seeing the arrival of Susan, Maya immediately lowered her head, afraid to make eye contact.
“Where is Nina? Where did she fall into?” Susan demanded while scanning the pond. However, the pond’s surface was calm, and there were no ripples.
Kyle replied, “She sank! What’s going to happen to Nina?”
“She sank?” Susan screamed.
