Love really does humble someone… No one in the corporate world would’ve dared take up that attitude with Mr. Seet unless they had a death wish!
He let out a sigh and walked up to Evan. “How did it go, Mr. Seet? Did you manage to explain it to Mrs. Seet?”
Evan ignored him and walked off, leaving John rooted to the spot in confusion.
Why’d he just leave like that? Did he manage to tell her the truth or not? Judging by his temper, he most probably didn’t… No, this won’t do… I have to tell her! I can’t let Mrs. Seet misunderstand him like this!
John knocked on the door and entered the room.
“Can I help you?” Nicole asked.
John nodded sternly. “I came to tell you something.”
“If this is about Evan, you can save your breath. I don’t want to hear it!”
She really does hate Mr. Seet a lot… Even so, I must say it!
In order to make sure he could finish what he had to say, John restructured his sentences. “It’s got nothing to do with Evan and everything to do with your suffering in prison.”
Nicole lifted her head and glared fiercely at him. Evan was the one who hurt me in prison! How could this have nothing to do with him? Is he just saying this to defend Evan?
“I don’t want to hear about that, John! Go speak to Evan if you insist on talking about it! Try asking him why he was so cruel towards me!”
John saw how agitated Nicole was and quickly expressed his understanding of her emotions.
As if anyone would be able to stay calm when their traumatic events are brought up, right?
“I understand how you feel. Mr. Seet, too, was devastated when he found out about your suffering in prison.”
Heh, as if Evan didn’t know about it… Is John trying to whitewash what he did?
The person that hurt her said he was carrying out Evan’s orders.
Although Nicole had her doubts at first, she couldn’t think of anyone else in Y City capable of doing such a thing.
The person had produced a letter with Evan’s handwriting on it; hence, the reason she was so convinced that he was behind it all.
“Save your breath, John. You can’t whitewash that guy!”
“I can see that you don’t trust Mr. Seet at all. Do you know what Levant was doing while you were suffering in prison? He was helping those people who hurt you! He was an accomplice!”
Nicole stared wide-eyed at him in shock and disbelief.
No… That can’t be true… Levant was the one who saved me when my life was hanging by a thread! Why would he do that if he helped them hurt me?
“Evan is a cruel and shameless man. You’ve spent so much time around him that you’re becoming more and more like him.”
Is she saying that I’m as cruel and shameless as Mr. Seet? Now I see why he said she wouldn’t believe me…
“John, are you seriously framing Levant in order to whitewash Evan? I don’t think I even know you anymore.”
John sighed. It’s pointless to say any further. If anything, it would just make her think this is all part of Mr. Seet’s plans. Looks like the only way to convince her is to present her with solid evidence.
“Just you wait, Mrs. Seet. I will prove it to you.”
With that, John turned around and left the room.
Nicole took a deep breath and let out a wry smile.
Could he have been telling the truth? No, that can’t be! It’s impossible!
Despite her stubborn attitude, it was obvious that John’s words had left a strong impact on her.
After that, John returned to Darkmoon Manor and saw The Hidden Masters waiting for them in the living room.
