Chapter 1494 Something Is Up
âStop spouting nonsense! Go and play!â Casting Davin a glance, Zayden walked away with a pout. Since Daddy doesnât want to buy it for me, Iâll figure out a way to buy it myself! Iâm sure I can figure out a way to wear that shirt!
After taking his seat, Davin turned his gaze on Evan.
âWhy are you in no hurry to search for Nicole when there hasnât been any news about her, Evan?â
âWho said so? My men have been searching for her all this while.â
âBut⦠shouldnât you be so anxious that you canât eat or sleep and pace around like a cat on hot bricks?â
Evan said nothing but picked up the cup of tea on the table and sipped it leisurely.
âDo you know something? Or are you certain that Nicole will be fine?â
Levantâs question just so happened to drift over to Sally, who was descending the stairs. She slowed her pace and waited to hear Evanâs reply.
Surreptitiously taking a glance in the direction of the stairs, Evan placed his teacup down. âIâm not sure whether sheâll be fine, but all I can do is to mobilize everyone to locate her. As for whether sheâll be okay, that depends on Godâs will.â
âWhoa! Thatâs a very objective analysis. Youâre really calm.â
âDo you have a better idea, then?â
Levant picked up his cup of tea at the side and took a sip. âYouâve got no idea when itâs your wife, so how could I possibly have any?â
âWell, well⦠This is remarkable. Youâve finally admitted that sheâs my brotherâs wife. Have you given up on my sister-in-law, then? Have you gotten over her?â
Levant turned and glanced at Tiffany beside him before he snapped at Davin, âAre you eager to be at loggerheads with me? Of all the things you could have said!â
âAh, youâve even realized that you shouldnât be speaking of this topic in front of Tiffany. Youâve started showing concern for her feelings. Nice! Youâve improved!â
Levant kept mum, stealing a peek at Tiffany once more.
Tiffany lowered her head and picked up her teacup at the side, sipping at the tea. She was undeniably happy to hear that. Has he really started feeling concerned about my feelings?
Having arrived downstairs, Sally greeted them all warmly.
âSally, I heard that you broke up with Juan?â Davin queried.
âYes, thatâs right. Iâm now Kyleâs assistant.â
âHmm⦠My mother felt that you made a good match with Kyle in the first place and wanted to introduce you to him. Unexpectedly, you guys went into the wrong rooms during the blind date. Well, itâs a good thing that you broke up with Juan. I, too, think that Kyle suits you better.â
âNot at all, Mr. Davin. Iâm just Kyleâs assistant.â
While Sally was saying that, a blush reflexively stained her cheeks.
Evan perceptively clocked that, and he also knew that Kyle possibly had some feelings for her. I wonder what kind of fate is in store for Maupayâs daughter and my sonâ¦
The sound of footsteps sounded again, and Kyle came downstairs. After greeting them, he left with Sally with the excuse that they had an important social event.
âThe two of them kept gazing at each other, so I think something is up,â Davin commented as he stared at their retreating backs.
âYeah, I agree,â Evan responded meaningfully.
âAh, Iâll be waiting for the show, then.â
Right at that moment, Levant seemingly recalled something. âOh yes, I remember that she went to Levant Winery not long ago, and she was with a few men.â
âA few men? Who exactly?â
âI donât recognize them, but those few men seemed to be experts in martial arts. Theyâre definitely no ordinary people. One of them instinctively acted to avoid a collision with a drunk man. He was agile and vicious. Theyâre certainly not the average bodyguards. There are surveillance cameras at Levant Winery, so Iâll check it out when I go back.â
âTheyâre that skilled? You can have someone check it out for you with a single phone call, no? Why donât you look into it now?â
âThatâs unnecessary since theyâre probably Maupayâs men. Sally is Maupayâs daughter, so itâs not surprising that she has got skilled fighters with her.â
âMaupay?â His daughter and subordinates are now moving around freely, but where is Maupay himself? Why hasnât there been any news of him? Donât tell me heâs hiding somewhere, plotting something huge? In that case, the unsavory rumors about Seet Group back then were probably his doing!
