The next morning, Nicole sent the girls to the kindergarten after breakfast. A smile stretched across her face as she watched her children heading towards the kindergarten entrance cheerfully.
Recalling that she had something more important to settle, she turned her car around and drove back to Rose Garden.
However, when Nicole headed towards the main house with the drawings, she saw Evanâs car speeding away.
Is he going to the company?
I guess I can only ask him when he comes back.
Meanwhile, Nicole wondered if Zane divorced Sylvia. If he really did that and asked her for money in turn, how was she supposed to give him the money?
She thought of asking for Evanâs help, but she was quite positive that he would reject her. She would have to come up with another plan.
On the other hand, Sylvia was scowling at Zane while planning her next step because she couldnât be sure that he would remarry her after faking their divorce to get money.
What if he ditched her and ran away after that? She had to be careful because the situation wasnât unheard of either.
âZane, that b*tch Nicole must be hoping to ruin your family! Otherwise, why will she want you to divorce at your age? How can a daughter do this to her father?â
Zane thought it was cruel of Nicole to do so too, but he could understand her reasons since things between Sylvia and her were pretty heated.
The only problem was how to convince Sylvia to go along with the divorce. He knew he had to coax her instead of arguing with her to get her to agree to it.
Sylvia was sobbing and at a loss of words when Sylphiette barged into the room.
âSylphiette, youâre getting ruder! You should knock on the door before coming in!â
âDad, I have something important to tell you!â
âWhat is it?â Zane asked impatiently.
Ignoring her fatherâs annoyance, Sylphiette started spilling out her newly discovered secret excitedly. âDad, do you know why Evan moved to Rose Garden?â
Zane raised his eyebrows and snapped, âDonât keep me in suspense. Get to the point.â
âDad, do you remember that Nicoleâs mother used to bring Nicole to Rose Garden whenever the two of you fought? There was a mansion that belonged to Nicoleâs grandfather over there.â
Sylvia snorted, âOf course I remember! That b*tch Natalie! She was so stubborn that she didnât want to divorce your father even when she already moved out. She must be dreaming of your father returning her the assets whenâ¦â
âEnough!â Zane interrupted coldly and turned back to Sylphiette. âI donât see why youâre making a fuss about where Mr. Seet lives.â
âOf course itâs important! When Mr. Seet was young, he lived in Rose Garden and met a girl that he cannot forget even though it has been years.â
âA girl? Are you saying that the girl is Nicole?â
âWell, to be precise, he doesnât remember the girlâs true identity, but he thinks that sheâs already dead all these years because he saw Nicoleâs fake cemetery with her photo on it years ago before it was ruined.â
âWhat? Is Nicole really the girl he met years ago?â
âNo, Mom,â Sylphiette replied with a mischievous grin on her face. âIt was me!â
Zane and Sylvia exchanged glances as they had already guessed what their daughter was up to.
âSylphiette, are you going to replace Nicoleâs identity? Isnât it too risky? What if Evan finds out that youâre lying to him? Have you ever thought of the consequences?â
âNothing ventured, nothing gained. I have to take the risks if I want to be Mrs. Seet. When my plan succeeds, Lane Corporation will be able to make a comeback easily!â
