Chapter 1993 Cutting Off Ties
Janice laughed mockingly. âNicholas and Mrs. Simpson already knew how the baby died a long time ago. So, Iâm sure you knew it too. But the three of you continued to play along with my lies.
Obviously, you were planning to use that matter to get something out of Seet Group! All of you only put your best interests first! Youâre all selfish!â âShut up! You unrepentant woman! Stop spouting nonsense!â Rodney yelled at Janice out of anger.
âYouâre evil and shameless! How dare you slander our family after what youâve done? Itâs not that we donât want to be on your side, but youâve gone too far! Thereâs nothing for us to say anymore!
You were the one who lied to us about how your baby died! How could you twist the truth and blame it on us? Mr. Seet, Mrs. Seet, youâre the witnesses here. Why would we help someone who killed Nicâs baby?â Mabel added.
âThatâs right, Mr. Seet. Donât listen to her lies! Weâd never help her!â Evan sneered at the sheer irony of the situation. âWhy are you getting all worked up if you werenât involved in her schemes?â
âW-Weâ¦â Rodney tried to say something, but no words left his mouth.
âWeâre just afraid that youâll misunderstand us. Since Wilbur and Maya are a couple, weâll be in-laws soon. If any misunderstandings are left unsolved, it wonât be healthy for our familiesâ relationship and happiness. Donât you think so?â Mabel explained.
Davin crossed his arms and stared at them. No wonder their reaction was strange earlier when they heard about the truth behind Janiceâs miscarriage. My suspicions were right. What Janice said wasnât to slander the Simpsons, but she was telling the truth.
âYou donât have to twist your words around. You know what you did or didnât do best. As for us, we know how to differentiate the truth from lies.â
Rodney and Mabel exchanged glances and didnât say anything else.
Then, Mabel glared at Janice as she cursed in her heart. This b*tch should go to hell! How dare she drags us into it! She should hurry up and die!
On the contrary, Nicholas was exceptionally quiet. It was because he had just received news that his orders had been carried out. Soon, Dad will receive the news.
As expected, Rodneyâs phone rang seconds later.
âMy apologies, Mr. Seet. I have to take this call,â he said as he answered the call. His face changed immediately after hearing what the person on the other end of the line said.
âW-What did you say?â Rodney demanded.
Per his request, the person on the phone repeated himself, and Rodney felt like his world was about to crumble.
âWil⦠Wil⦠H-How could heâ¦â
âWhat happened to Wilbur?â Maya asked worriedly as she frowned.
Rodney lifted his head and looked at Maya. âWilbur j-jumped into the sea!â
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard that.
âN-No⦠Wilbur wonât do that! He wonât⦠Thereâs no way heâll love Maya to the extent of ending his own life! Thereâs no way!â Janice exclaimed as she shook her head in disbelief.
Maya was shocked too. She heard what Janice said and hoped that she was right. Please, donât let this be true! He needs to be fine!
Mr. Simpson, are you sure the information is reliable?â Davin asked.
âY-Yes. He jumped into the sea but was saved. However, his condition wasnât stable, so he was sent to the hospital.â
Heâs been saved! This means that Wilbur is still alive!
Mayaâs eyes lit up with hope.
