The men did not answer her and turned to leave instead.
Nina ran to Nicole and looked at her solemnly, âMommy, that evil daddy is afraid that we will hit him with the broom, hence he takes them away from us.â
On the other hand, Maya was overjoyed, âMommy, with these robotic vacuum cleaners, you wonât need to slog away cleaning the house. Thatâs great!â
Nicole was dumbfounded. How can Evan be so domineering! I must stay away from him in the future. If he comes again, I must definitely lock him out of the house!
After she returned to her bedroom, she called Sylvia on her phone immediately.
âYou little slut. How dare you call me now?â
âBe polite. Otherwise, I will ruin your reputation!â
âWho are you to do that?â Sylvia snickered.
Nicole did not bother to reply to her. Instead, she sent the video of Sylviaâs intimate act with Mr. Cannon to her.
Sylviaâs face turned ghastly white. Not only did this little slut set a trap for me, but she even took a video! Sheâs detestable!
âDo you think my father will divorce you if he sees this video?â
âYou little slut! What do you want!â
âEasy. Convince my father to give the Lane Corporation to me!â
âKeep on dreaming!â
Sylvia was fuming mad.
Although Lane Corporation was in financial difficulties now due to their mismanagement, she still pinned her hopes on it.
If Sylphiette managed to persuade Evan to help them out, the Lane Corporation might have a chance to return to its glory days.
If Nicole took it away from her, she and Zane would end up with nothing.
âYou better think it through carefully. If my dad knows of your scandalous affair and divorces you, you will still lose the Lane Corporation. Why donât you give it to me now, and in return, you can save your marriage and maintain your reputation?â
âHmph. You are making a fool out of me. If I give the Lane Corporation to you, your dad will be penniless too. Then whatâs the point of me being with him?â
The corners of Nicoleâs mouth curved upwards into a wry smile. What will Zane think if he hears what she has said? Anyway, Zane is also a selfish man who only cares about his own interests. They are a perfect match indeed.
âIn this case, why donât you give the Lane Corporation to me in exchange for a sum of money?â
âHow much?â
Nicole pondered before replying, âThree million.â
Sylvia went into a panic after hearing Nicoleâs proposal.
âHow dare you dream of getting the Lane Corporation for a mere three million! The company is worth at least 80 millionâ¦â
âThat is when it is still in its glory days. The company is nothing but an empty shell now. Shouldnât you know it by now?â
Sylvia scoffed but still insisted on getting more money from Nicole.
âI will only fork out this much money. If you donât agree, I will ensure that my dad will see this exciting video, and so will everyone on the entire Internet. At that time, you will be detested by everyone.â
Sylvia was incensed. I have never imagined that Nicole will take such a tough stance. I regret raising her and should have tortured her to death last time! Now she has grown up to bite the hand that feeds her!
Seeing that Sylvia fell silent, Nicole continued, âIf you donât give me a reply by 8 pm, I will put this video online for everyone to see!â With that, she hung up the call.
Although Sylvia was fuming mad, she was at a loss. Three million is really too little and way below my estimated valuation. After a while, she decided to give Sylphiette a call.
Sylphiette was infuriated.
She had not expected that Sylvia would conduct such a shameless act with another man and started to berate her, âMom, how can you do this with Mr. Cannon.
âIâm innocent. Nicole, that little slut, made me do it!â
Sylphiette sighed deeply. Considering the situation now, she started to convince Sylvia not to let the video leaked to anyone else. Otherwise, not only would Sylviaâs reputation be destroyed, but she would get implicated too. There was no way that the Seets would allow Evan to marry her if she has such a scandalous mother.
