Furthermore, Davin exhorted her, “Nicole is ill, so please be more cautious with your words. If you can’t make her happy, then don’t agitate her. It can be life-threatening if her illness relapses – it happened before – she even hit Evan and bit Nina.”
Sheila blinked her eyes several times and finally digested what Davin said.
With an astonished expression, she stammered. “A-Are you for real?”
“Of course! How could I joke about this kind of issue.”
It suddenly occurred to Sheila the great amount of effort Evan had put in for Nicole.
So it was actually for Nicole’s illness. All along, I thought he was purely doting on her out of love.
“It must’ve not been easy for Evan. I pity Nicole too.”
“Hence, now it’s up to us to help share their burden. Needless to say, Evan would compensate us fairly for it.”
“Yeah, that project is highly important to the Muir Group. Anyway, rest assured that Nicole would be well taken care of. Meanwhile, you should focus on the person behind all these. Are you confident in uncovering the mastermind?”
Davin pondered and proclaimed, “I know someone who can help.”
“Who?”
“The quadruplets should be of help. After all, their Mom and Dad are in a difficult situation, so they probably wish they could share the burden too.”
“Just admit that you’re incapable and need someone’s help! You don’t have to be that shameless to take all the credit.” She rolled her eyes in disdain and told Davin.
Davin frowned as he watched Sheila leave.
In the past, it was Sheila who made a move on him.
Yet she had started to despise him.
Davin sighed heavily and shrugged, “Ah… Women… You can’t treat them too well, or they’ll ignore you. I guess the best way to keep them on your trail is when you play hard to get.”
Meanwhile, over at the Seet Residence, the atmosphere of the living room was filled with solemness. Everyone in the household was gathered there, but no one dared to utter a single word.
The reason for that was due to the appearance of a special guest in the Seet Residence. At that moment, he was holding a thick and long wooden bat while emanating an aggressive vibe.
Levant and Avril were shocked, whereas Sophia was stunned as if she was in a trance.
After a while, Sophia finally came back to realization and walked towards Murphy while staring fearfully at the wooden bat he was holding.
“What is this?”
Judging from how he rushed all the way from K Nation holding a “weapon,” he seemed to be here either to claim debt or to take revenge.
As a matter of fact, all the maids in the Seet Residence were appalled by the unusual presence of this guest.
It was totally unheard of for someone to enter the Seet Residence in such a bold manner.
Murphy glanced at Sophia and warned, “Step aside! It’s none of your business. Levant and Avril, come out here, you two scoundrels!”
Avril’s heart skipped a beat; meanwhile, Levant was at a loss.
“Dad, please calm down. You are making it seem like we caused some trouble,” Levant explained.
“Exactly! Dad, are you going to hit us? Why are you so cruel to us? We are your kids!” Avril added.
Murphy scoffed, “Do you still consider me as your dad? You both are a disgrace! If I had known that you two would turn out to this way, I would have strangled the both of you when you were still babies!” He gritted his teeth and exclaimed.
Levant and Avril looked at each other and remained silent. At the same time, a flash of guilt appeared on Avril’s face as she thought over what her father had said.
All she did recently was getting herself intoxicated and throwing herself into somebody’s arms. Could it be that Dad found out about it? How did he find out? After all, it happened at K Nation.
Avril quietly asked Levant, “Did you tell on me?”
However, Levant was speechless as he was innocent.
He was not in the mood to clarify with Avril. After all, Levant was busy racking his brains over to think of what he had done to get Murphy so upset.
