Nina glanced at Sofie. âLetâs go, Maya. Iâm sure Mommy can do it!â
Both of them went upstairs, while Sofie shrieks of agony became louder.
As she desired, Evan emerged after hearing her howls.
With a cold expression, Evan looked down at her in contempt, not saying a word.
âEvan, my head hurts. Ms. Lane stabbed me with a needle just now. Sheâ¦â
âI stabbed you?â Nicole smirked coldly. âYouâre right! I stabbed, pushed, hit and bullied you. Whatâs next? What do you want?â
She wanted to see if Sofieâs tricks were going to unfold like how she imagined.
âEvan, look at her! Sheâs simply so mean!â With that, Sofie burst into tears, as if she had been wronged. Looking at how miserable she looked, Nicole almost felt guilty.
Although everything else was fake, her tears were real.
Is she trying to arouse Evanâs pity by crying?
Upon that thought, Nicole scoffed. âAre you made up of tears? Mr. Seet, bring a piece of tissue over quickly and wipe her tears away.â
Evan did not see clearly how Sofie fell. However, he did not like it when Nicole behaved so haughtily. Does she really think that sheâs the female owner of this house and has nothing to fear? She only managed to stay here because of Juan. Yet, how sheâs acting right now is getting under my skin. This will not do. Regardless of whoâs right or wrong, I must make her realize the bitter truth.
âApologize to Sofie!â
Nicole was taken aback by Evanâs words.
Why should I apologize?
However, when Nicole thought about it again, Evan had always misunderstood her. If he suddenly believed her, it would be abnormal. Furthermore, Sofie was crying so pitifully now.
Still, the fact remained that this was not Nicoleâs fault. If she could prove her innocence, why did she have to be the scapegoat?
Crossing her arms over her chest, Nicole rebuked defiantly, âItâs not my fault so why should I apologize?â
âYou admitted just now that you stabbed, pushed and bullied me!â Wiping her tears away, Sofie glared at Nicole.
Nicole was at a loss for words.
She only said that on purpose because she wanted to see if Evan would take pity on Sofie!
A mocking look flickered in Evanâs eyes. This foolish woman only knows how to shoot her mouth off. Letâs see how you can prove your innocence now.
âEvan, you heard it too. She admitted it herself.â
âThatâs right, you admitted it yourself,â agreed Evan as he stared directly as Nicole.
âI-Iâ¦â
Hah! Indeed, Evan, that jerk, is siding with Sofie. Is he trying to join forces with her and pin the blame on me? Dream on!
Nicoleâs eyes sparkled. âMr. Seet, if I can prove that I didnât stab her, how would you deal with this incident?â
Looking at Nicoleâs confident look, Evan frowned. Does she have any evidence?
He turned around and looked at Sofie. âIf Sofie really accused you, Iâll make her apologize to you and promise not to step into Hillside Villa ever again.â
Evan was already infuriated when Sofie tried to hit Kyle earlier.
Hence, he no longer wanted to see this woman again.
Sofie was dumbfounded.
On the other hand, Nicole was secretly overjoyed. Since the four children hate her so much, this is a great opportunity to stop her from coming.
âHowâs that, Ms. Su? Do you dare to take up the bet?â
Sofie was stuck between a rock and a hard place. If she agreed to the request, then there was a huge chance that she would have to apologize and stop coming to Hillside Villa.
However, if she refused, she would be implicitly admitting that she accused Nicole on purpose.
âSay something! I still need to take care of the kids, so I have no time to waste on you.â
âI promise. Iâm sure that Evan will seek justice for me.â
Hah! Did she graduate from an acting school? How can she act so well? Sheâs still so stubborn even on the verge of her demise.
Evan looked at Nicole. âTell us what evidence you have.â
Chuckling, Nicole raised a finger and pointed upwards.
âThe evidence is right there!â
As Sofieâs eyes looked up in the direction of Nicoleâs finger, her heart skipped a beat and her face paled.
