Chapter 1704 The Headlines
âKyle and Sally had been spending their time in the secret chamber all this while. Donât you think itâs time for them to come back and live with us? Mom also mentioned during dinner about how she wanted them to come back.â
âWell, this depends on them. I believe theyâll come back whenever they want to. Thereâs no need to force them, even if they donât wish to come home and live with us. Kyle and Sally are adults now and should have their own choices.â
âYouâre right. The three of them have found their partners already, although we donât know if theyâre really suitable for one another or if they can really build a family together. Now, Juanâs the only one left who is still single.â
âHeâs hooked onto treasure hunting lately. Heâs been looking into the clues of the treasure whenever he got the chance.â
âI thought you asked Faye to look into it? Heâs still worried about it?â
âYeah. Thatâs why Iâm considering whether to arrange some other tasks for him, you know? Something to distract him.â
âHm⦠Since heâs interested in treasure hunting, why donât you let him look for the treasure with Faye?â Nicole blurted out without thinking.
âNicole⦠Actually, I didnât want anyone in the Seet family, especially Juan, to be involved with the treasure because treasure hunting isnât something good. I didnât stop Faye because I didnât have a good reason to stop her from going after the treasure when she insisted. Her family is related to the Redgold Dragon Coffer. In other words, sheâs related to the key which activates the treasure.â
âI understand,â Nicole responded after pondering for a moment.
âTreasure hunting is a bloody path. Who knows how many people will lose their original intention of looking for the treasure? Who knows how many people would do whatever it takes to get their hands on the treasure? Many lives would be lost during the journey. Who knows what truly lies within the treasure, even if one were to really find it after the bloodshed?â
Nicole didnât say anything.
At first, she thought Evan was a businessman who would prioritize profits in most situations. She had never expected that he could stand his ground and be this clear-headed before the tempting treasure.
Huh. I thought he would be tempted by the treasure. Hmm⦠So, heâs not a mere businessman who only looks at profits. He knows his standards and considers everything rationally. Aww! My husband is really outstanding! Heâs the best!
Her lips unwittingly curled into a smile.
âSo, is there any news from Faye?â
âNot yet.â
âHey. Do you think sheâll get into any trouble?â
âDonât worry. Sheâs really capable of protecting herself; even Levant can beat her. Hence, I doubt that others can. In fact, I donât think there are many people in this world who can beat her.â
âSheâs a good person. I hope she returns safely,â Nicole said.
âShe will. Itâs late, Nicole. Letâs get some rest.â
âMmm.â She put her head on his solid chest and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Mmm⦠Heâs really dependable⦠Iâm so blessed to have met himâ¦
When one met her Mr. Right, even at 40 years old, sheâd still be cared for as if she was a precious little girl. Sheâd still be able to live happily.
It was a sultry night. The gentle breeze gently blew across the trees, making them sway under the moon, and the faint moonlight shone into the room like a beautiful painting.
The following day, headlines were filled with the news of yesterdayâs event at the underground palace. It was everywhere. In moments, the matter had become a trending topic. No one knew who spilled the beans.
When Davin woke up and saw the news, he let out a long, hard sigh.
âSheep, look! See what you did? The people who didnât know anything are scolding me online and are on your side! Theyâre even calling me a womanizer! Argh! My reputationâs ruined!â Davin complained.
âNo. Iâve got to do something! I must get the evidence to the media and expose what Juan found in order to prove my innocence and save my reputation!â he continued.
