The Muirs were located in Y City. Second only to the Seets, they were also considered one of the most prominent families.
Patrick welcomed Evan politely when he saw the man.
“Please have a seat, Evan.”
“Thank you, Patrick.”
“Sheila and Davin are engaged, so we’re a family now. Remember that you’re always welcome here.”
The two sat opposite each other before Evan asked straightforwardly about the evidence Patrick had found related to the matters in prison.
“Levant was indeed involved, but he’s not the mastermind. He only helped remove some obstacles.”
“Who’s the mastermind then?”
“It’s a woman. She was smart enough to not expose her identity. The witnesses I sent to K Nation two days ago knew her. They would’ve been able to recognize her if you showed them a photo of the suspect. Unfortunately, they’ve been kidnapped.”
A woman?
Who would hate Nicole so much to let her rot in prison?
Evan squinted as a familiar name appeared in his mind.
Since Levant was involved, he must know something.
The man’s not someone who gives up easily. I wonder if he’ll come here when he finds out that Nicole and I are going to have a wedding.
Evan was in deep thought as he rushed over to the office in his Maybach. As soon as he arrived, he had John pinpoint Susan’s location.
“Yes, Sir. I’m on it.”
Meanwhile, Levant sat on a plane with a gloomy look on his face. Playing inside his mind was the scene where he argued with Murphy about traveling to C Nation.
“You’re still not letting go of her, are you? Why are you so stubborn?” Disappointed, Murphy looked angrily at his son.
“I don’t want to explain myself, but I have to go, no matter what.”
“Are you going to chase after her for the rest of your life? Evan is your cousin! Are you really trying to steal your own cousin’s wife?”
Levant smiled bitterly. “Don’t worry, Dad. I’m not going to do anything stupid. I heard they’re getting married, so I’m just going to attend their wedding. That’s all.”
Murphy sighed, “You may be my son, but you’re nothing like me. After all, it was Stephen who raised you. It’s no wonder you’re as love-crazed as he is!”
Levant was similar to Stephen, who only had eyes for Nicole’s mother; the former wanted no one else besides Nicole.
Maybe fate brought Stephen, Nicole, and me together, but like Stephen and Rosalie, we’re destined to be separated.
Levant snapped out of it when the plane landed. After getting off the plane, he headed straight to Levant Winery.
Because of what happened between him and Evan, the winery was no longer as lively as it used to be. The business there had worsened, and the place even looked a little bleak.
Levant benefited nothing from the showdown between him and Evan.
After taking a deep breath, the man stepped into the winery. He had only taken a few steps when he noticed a crying woman running in his direction, crashing into a marble pillar not far away from him.
He dashed over to the woman and pushed her to the ground.
“Why did you push me?” asked the woman as she looked at him with tearful eyes.
After sizing the woman up, Levant slight lifted the corner of his mouth. The woman was petite with a curvier figure; she was not much taller than Nicole. Something about her reminded Levant of the woman he loved.
“Why did you run into the pillar?” he responded to her question with a question of his own.
“Because I wanted to!”
“Can you do it somewhere else then? You dying here is only going to worsen the already terrible business.”
The woman then got up and wiped her tears before running out of the winery.
