“Yes, Mr. Seet!”
John took delight in seeing the shocked expression on Susan’s face. Yes, this is how the great Mr. Seet does things!
“Please come with me, Ms. Susan.” Darius walked up to her and urged her to leave.
With that, Susan wiped her tears and walked out of Darkmoon Manor with her suitcase in tow.
Darius then drove her to the airport and waited till she entered before leaving.
Little did he know, Susan, too, waited for him to leave before coming back out.
Hmph! There’s no way I’d leave this place! I’m definitely settling down in this country!
Upon returning to Darkmoon Manor, Darius heard Evan talking on the phone.
“Are you sure about that?”
“Yes, Mr. Seet. We’ve confirmed that the people who hurt Ms. Lane in prison were able to carry out their plans successfully and that Levant had been secretly helping them!”
But Levant likes Nicole so much… Why would he help those people hurt her? Hmm… I can only think of one possible explanation for this… Those who hurt Nicole had done so in my name, which would lead to her hating me even more. Levant wants Nicole to give up on me, so he gave them a hand and then came to her rescue like a knight in shining armor! Oh, Levant… If only Nicole knew that you were the truly cruel and heartless one here…
John let out a sigh. “Mr. Seet, I think we should tell Mrs. Seet about this as soon as possible. Otherwise, she’d still treat Levant as her savior.”
Meanwhile, Evan kept quiet.
Is that really all she thinks of Levant? Just a savior? Nicole had been planning on running away with him even before I put her in prison! I know she’s been meeting up with him secretly a few times! But why would you do that, Nicole?
Jensen came in and said, “Mr. Seet, remember that thing you had us investigate? Well, we’ve found something.”
“What’d you find?”
“Murphy had Stephen under his control a few months ago, and Levant used that to threaten Mrs. Seet into meeting up with him. That’s why she went to see him.”
So he forced Nicole into meeting him by threatening to kill his stepfather? Hah… Just how pathetic can you get, Levant? Still… Why didn’t Nicole tell me about this?
John saw that Evan was in deep thought and suggested, “Mr. Seet, why don’t we sneak into Wicked Palace tonight and tell Mrs. Seet everything?”
“She won’t believe us.” Evan said after a brief pause.
To her, I’m just a cruel and heartless man. Even if I were to tell her the truth, she’d probably just think I’m finding excuses for myself!
“Mr. Seet, you don’t know that for sure unless you’ve tried it. Personally, I think it’s worth a shot. If Mrs. Seet does believe it, we could get the family back together and head home!”
Evan gave it some thought. I guess it is about time I go see Nicole and the kids!
“We’ll head over tonight!”
“Yes, Mr. Seet!”
John was happy as he felt it would clear up the misunderstandings and resolve the issue soon.
At nightfall, Evan called Kyle and asked him where Nicole’s room was.
He then snuck into Wicked Palace with John under the darkness of the night.
Juan and Kyle were waiting for him in the courtyard and got excited when they saw him.
Juan led Evan into the bedroom he shared with Kyle and told him everything Levant had done, including the necklace he gave Nicole.
“You have to put in more effort, Daddy! Otherwise, Levant will succeed in stealing Mommy from you!”
Evan gave him a pat on the head. “I know, Juan!”
“Kyle, could you have Maya and Nina leave the room for a while? Mr. Seet needs to have a word with your mother.”
