Chapter 657: Chapter 656

After that, he glared at her and left.

Lisa clutched the side of her face that had been slapped swollen with pure hatred radiating from her eyes.

“Adam Seet, don’t you think for a second that I’ll forget everything you’ve done. I won’t stop until you’ve learned your lesson, *sshole. I’m not like your ex——I don’t forgive.”

As Adam and Lisa started plotting against each other, Ryan’s side of things wasn’t going too well, either.

All the projects that Ryan was in charge of were starting to go awry. He was suspecting Adam of messing with things, so he found a way to tattle on him to Russell.

“Dad, Adam’s totally out of line. He’s been completely bewitched by that mistress and has been arguing with Lisa nonstop. He also keeps messing with the company and my projects. He’s already rotten down to the very core. You have to talk to him.”

Russell sighed. “Neither of you are mature enough yet. The Seet Group is truly going to crumble in your hands.”

“You’re right, Dad. Both Davin and Adam have been seduced by witches. I’m not like them. I haven’t been polluted, which is why I think you should consider me to be the next president of the Seet Group.”

Ryan tooted his own horn with an amusing amount of self-assurance.

Russell shot a cold glare in Ryan’s direction.

“Is that so? How exactly have you been managing to keep yourself unpolluted?”

“I… Well-” I have to come up with something convincing.

Russell slammed his walking stick onto the floor at the sight of Ryan’s sudden loss for words. “I know exactly what every single one of you is up to! How dare you call yourself unpolluted? Bullsh*t!”

Ryan fell silent again. Not only did he fail in telling on his brothers, but he was scolded, too. He deflated like a popped balloon and dragged his feet as he left.

Russell sat in silent sorrow as he watched Ryan walk away.

Without Evan, their family had started falling to pieces.

Everyone was so power-hungry, and Davin simply didn’t have the iron fist he needed to control them.

On the other hand, his eldest son, Jonathan, certainly had the right values. However, he was in no way cunning enough to keep all the others at bay.

Russell sighed in deep thought, dreading the Seet Group’s dark future.

“Even the gods envy those who are righteous and capable. Evan was taken away much too early!”

Russell’s heart panged with pain when he thought about Evan.

When Adam heard that Ryan had gone to Russell to rat him out, he was absolutely furious. The two of them began arguing whenever they met in the office; they did not even bother to do so in private.

Davin basked in quiet glee as his uncles rang off curse after curse at each other.

They should fight it out and beat up each other so badly that they have to stay at the hospital for a couple of months. He could then use that time to take over the company and set things right.

Ryan and Adam were in the middle of yet another round of argument when their phones started ringing.

After picking up their calls, respectively, the two of them half-heartedly ended the argument and ran off in a hurry.

Davin was curious. What exactly could make them panic like this?

Back at Imperial Garden, Nicole was talking to Evan. “I heard that Lisa has already sent someone to deal with Adam’s unborn child.”

“She’s an extremely jealous woman. She definitely won’t allow Adam to have a child with any other woman.”

“What’s next?”

“Next…”

Evan trailed off as his gaze darkened.

He picked up his phone and called John. “How’s Davin’s case going?”

“Mr. Seet, we have eyes on Lily and will get her alibi as soon as possible.”

“Okay. The sooner the better.”

He hung up and his thin lips curved into a slight smile. “Since Adam wants to ruin Davin’s reputation so badly, I’ll give him a taste of his own medicine.”

Nicole was curious. What exactly does he have up his sleeve?
