“I have to go back there no matter what.”
After a moment of silence, Jonathan lifted his head to look worriedly at his wife. “I’ll go with you then.”
Sophia thought for a while before finally nodding in agreement.
Meanwhile, at Wicked Palace, Levant was overjoyed that Nicole wanted to marry him as soon as possible.
However, worry flitted across the man’s eyes when the woman requested him to let Evan go.
The man knew how much Evan loved Nicole, so he was sure that Evan would stop at nothing to ruin his wedding.
“I have no problem letting him go, Nicole, but it’ll have to wait until after our wedding. I’ll have someone escort him out of here then.”
After the wedding, huh?
Levant sure is careful. He must be worried that Evan will cause trouble if he’s released too soon.
“Don’t worry, Nicole. I’ll make sure Evan is safe for the next few days.”
Levant had made up his mind, so Nicole knew that there was nothing she could do to change it. If anything, it would only make things worse for Evan.
In the end, she nodded slightly in agreement.
Davin and John waited for news about Evan to come, but instead, they received news of Nicole’s and Levant’s wedding.
Sheila let out a long sigh. “How’s Levant better than Mr. Seet? Why would Nicole want to marry him instead?”
John was surprised as well. If Ms. Lane’s busy with her wedding, she probably couldn’t care less about Mr. Seet’s welfare.
“I don’t think we can count on Ms. Lane anymore, but why haven’t we heard from the children either? Do they think they belong to Wicked Palace like their mother now? Is that why they don’t care about their own father anymore?” sighed Davin.
Suddenly, his phone rang – it was Juan calling.
“If Juan really says he doesn’t care about his father anymore, I’ll do anything to sneak into Wicked Palace to twist his ear and spank his butt to teach him a lesson,” muttered Davin before answering the call.
“Uncle Davin, we finally found where Daddy, Jeremy, and the others are being held! Hurry up, come over and save them!”
Davin was baffled by the boy’s words.
Me? Save them? I don’t think I’m capable of doing that.
“They’ve added more guards, Uncle Davin, so you’ll have to be careful when you sneak in.”
Even without the extra guards, Davin thought it would be difficult to rescue anyone from the heavily-guarded Wicked Palace. The strengthened defense made it nearly impossible.
“Juan, do you think I could be locked up too if I sneak in?” asked Davin timidly.
His nephew gave it some thought. “Uncle Davin, you’re not backing out because you’re scared, are you? You have to do this! He’s your brother!”
Brother? Even if it’s my father we have to rescue, I can’t just waltz in without a solid plan!
Why should I get locked up for nothing?
Of course I’d sacrifice myself if it’s necessary, but we’re not that desperate yet, right?
“Just tell me where your father is being held. I’ll try to figure something out.”
“Okay, I’ll send you the location. This place is like a maze, but you should know where it is once you look at some pictures.”
“Alright.”
After looking at the location Juan had sent him, Davin forwarded it to Stephen because he thought it would help the duke with the rescue.
However, it only made the other man distraught as he wondered if he should just let Nicole marry Levant.
After much thinking, the duke decided to visit Nicole in Wicked Palace for a good talk.
When Portia found out that her husband wanted to go to Wicked Palace, she hurried to stop him.
“Why are you going to Wicked Palace? Are you going there to see Avril?”
“I’m going to see Nicole,” replied Stephen coldly.
“Why? She’ll be marrying Levant in two days, and you’ll be able to see her by then. I’ll be going to the wedding with you.”
