Evan’s piercing gaze landed on John. When he saw John’s frozen state of astonishment, he frowned and asked, “What did I just say, John?”
John snapped to his senses and replied. “Something’s wrong, Mr. Seet.”
Evan narrowed his eyes at him. “Did I say that something was wrong?”
“No, you didn’t say that. But something is really wrong,” John anxiously blurted.
He scrambled over to Evan and showed him the video.
Even before the video ended, Evan’s expression had darkened. He rose to his feet and briskly walked out of the conference room.
“Why did Mr. Seet leave?”
“I don’t know. Did something happen?”
“What could have happened that’s more important than the expansion of the company?”
As the people in the conference room speculated, one of the executives opened social media and was floored by the news he saw.
“Something more important than the company’s expansion did happen! Mr. Seet must have gone to Forest Mall.”
“How do you know?”
“I saw it on social media.”
All the board members accessed social media. Those who did not see the news questioned the people sitting next to them.
“Wait. Mrs. Seet is a human trafficker? This is insane.”
“Exactly. There must be some hidden reason.”
“I think the other woman is the trafficker and Mrs. Seet must have tried to save the child by saying he’s hers.”
Those who were unaware refused to believe that the wife of the president of Seet Group was a human trafficker.
“It’s possible.”
With the meeting canceled, the board members started to discuss amongst themselves.
By the time Davin rushed to Forest Mall, the police had arrived. He immediately took the police to the side and explained the situation to them.
“The woman carrying the child isn’t a trafficker. She’s ill. She…”
Evan arrived in the middle of Davin’s explanation.
When Nicole spotted him, her eyes filled with fear. He actually came down here personally to take my child!
“I won’t give you the child! I gave birth to him. This is my child!” Nicole shrieked at him.
“I’m not going to take the child from you. Calm down, Nicole. I won’t fight with you over him.”
“No, you will. I already gave you one child. Please let me have Juan at least. He’s mine.”
Juan?
She thinks the child is Juan. She’s regressed to the person she was several years ago. No wonder she’s afraid of me snatching the child.
Evan’s heart panged. He patiently tried to coax Nicole, to no avail. As such, he had no choice but to call someone to bring Juan over.
During this time, Davin was doing his best to stabilize the situation. The police were explaining the situation to the people around.
Oh, so she’s sick.
The crowd started to buzz with chatter.
The woman stopped trying to provoke Nicole. The child in Nicole’s arms had stopped crying and had fallen asleep.
When Juan arrived, he dashed over to his mother.
“Mommy!”
Nicole was shocked to see Juan. “You… You?”
“I’m Juan, Mommy!”
Juan?
How can there by two Juans?
There’s a small one in my arms and a bigger one in front of me. Which of them is the real Juan?
Nicole’s mind was in pieces.
Juan reached out his hand and touched the child in Nicole’s arms. “Mommy, this little boy is that lady’s child. Give him back to her, okay?”
Nicole was still doubtful, but she slowly handed the child back to the woman.
She wrapped Juan in her embrace and looked him up and down. “Did… Did you eat steroids or something? How did you get so big all of a sudden?”
Juan was speechless.
He stuck out his tongue and said, “Mommy, you have four children. We’re all this size now.”
“Four children?”
