Sheila asked about how things were as soon as Davin walked in.
“I-It’s all a misunderstanding,” said Davin.
“A misunderstanding? What did Mr. Seet actually say?” asked Sheila.
“H-He didn’t say anything, but he asked for the bottle to be delivered over. Think about it. Why would Evan do that if there’s nothing wrong with it?”
Sheila sighed before adding, “Your brother and his wife sure have a lot of misunderstandings between them.”
“That’s probably because someone is jealous of their relationship and is trying to get between them.”
“You mean Susan? It’s been a while since I last saw her.”
“Yeah,” replied Davin grimly before he scoffed, “That woman is like a venomous snake. She’s probably hiding in some corner and waiting for the opportunity to attack.”
“Is she really that scary?”
“Just wait and see if you don’t believe me..”
Davin’s words sent a shiver down Sheila’s spine, and she trembled.
At that moment, Susan was in Darkmoon Manor and trying her best to open the secret door.
I’ll be able to figure out what happened if I can just open the door and get in.
I must open this door. I have to!
Despite her determination, Susan felt like she wouldn’t be able to do it on her own, so she made some calls to get help.
Inside the Wicked Palace.
Nicole was leaning against the sofa in the living room lazily. In her hand was a book about overcoming the repulsion caused by others’ touch, and she was focused on it.
As she read, she started nodding off. She was about to lie down and get into a comfortable position to take a nap when she heard Maya calling out to her and running over.
“Mommy, Mommy! Kyle and Juan said they found a treasure. Hurry over and check it out.”
Nicole sat up and turned to Maya, who was panting after her run. She stroked her daughter’s head and asked, “What treasure are you talking about?”
“Juan and Kyle said that it’s something awesome and that you’ll know once you see it.”
“Let’s go and have a look, Mommy,” said Nina curiously as her eyes shone with anticipation.
Nicole nodded and hurried over with Maya and Nina.
Evan received the same message as well. He couldn’t wait and hurried over immediately. That was when he saw a deep-looking cave.
“The treasure’s in there, Mr. Seet.”
“Please see for yourself, Mr. Seet.”
“Mommy, let’s go!”
Nicole stared at the cave curiously. She nodded and went in. Nina was about to follow along when Juan stopped her.
“We designed this just for Mommy and Daddy. You shouldn’t go in.”
Nina frowned. When she turned around, she noticed that Nicole and Evan were indeed the only ones who went into the cave. In the next moment, the cave’s entrance was sealed shut.
“Will Daddy and Mommy get into any trouble?”
“Not at all. There’s another exit in there,” informed Juan.
The Hidden Masters sighed. Kyle was the one who came up with the idea, and that was the price the men had to pay to get the kids to join the treasure hunt.
The only problem is, we have no idea if Mr. Seet will blame us for tricking him like that.
Jensen voiced his concern.
John replied calmly, “I don’t think he will. He’ll probably be ridiculously happy about being trapped with Mrs. Seet.”
Everyone turned to the sealed exit and guessed what would happen.
Maya rubbed her tiny, plump hands. Her watery eyes shone with concern as she asked, “Will Mommy and Daddy get scared and get into a fight after being trapped in there?”
Juan chuckled. “Well, if that happens, they can air out all their grievances and get back together. We’ll have a family reunion then.”
Maya fell silent in response.
Hmm… Will everything really turn out that way?
A tiny frown curled up between Maya’s brows, and she started listening closely by the sealed exit.
John sighed internally. Most kids are worried about their parents fighting, but this brat is hoping that his parents would vent everything out. Mr. Seet’s kids really are something else.
Nina was worried as well. She complained, “You didn’t need to con them into a cave even if you want them to spend some time together. It’s all dark and gloomy in there, so it’s not even romantic.”
