Susan stared at the three of them in disbelief. These kids are ganging up on me! Iâd be dead if Evan believes their story! This wonât do⦠Iâll have to call Evan and explain to him first!
After giving it some thought, Susan turned around and ran downstairs. By the time the kids got there, they saw that all the doors were locked.
Juan was bewildered. âWhatâs going on? Is she trying to lock us in?â
âOur plans will be ruined if we donât get out of here! What do we do?â
At the same time, Susan began calling Evan as she stood in the courtyard, but there was no answer. Having no other choice, she could only sit on the wooden benches and wait for him to call back.
Iâve got to explain the situation to him! There is no way Iâm going to just sit back and let those kids frame me like this!
In a state of panic, the kids called Damien and Darius for help. However, Susan refused to let them in and even threatened to kill herself if they insisted on entering.
The two then attempted to sneak in through a window on the third floor, but their phones fell out of their pockets while they were climbing the wall. With Damienâs phone shattered and Dariusâ in the pond, there was no way for any of them to answer Johnâs calls.
âDid Susan catch you guys leaving?â John asked after understanding what happened.
âShe caught us on our way out and tried to stop us, so I had no choice but to knock her unconscious.â
âYou did the right thing!â Jensen expressed his approval.
âI bet sheâs telling Mr. Seet about it right now. I wonder how heâll punish us for thisâ¦â Darius said.
They all looked up at the same time.
In the study upstairs, Susan was bawling her eyes out in front of Evan.
âI really donât know how they got those injuries, Evan! It really has nothing to do with me! You have to believe me!â
Meanwhile, Evan narrowed his eyes slightly as he observed her from head to toe. âThey didnât accuse you of anything, so why are you desperately trying to explain yourself?â
Susan froze.
Huh? But I heard Kyle telling Maya to blame it on me! They were going to frame me for it! What the hell is going on here?
She noticed Evan sizing her up and quickly explained, âI-I probably got the wrong idea or something! Their injuries look serious, and Iâm really worried about them! You should have a look at them, Evan!â
âDaddy!â
âWeâre back, Daddy!â
âDaddy! Daddy!â
Susan was shocked when she turned around and saw all four of them running into the study.
âMaya, Nina, y-you look fine? Where were your wounds?â
They donât even have a scratch on them! How the hell is this possible? I remember seeing them covered in nasty-looking wounds when they left earlier!
Nina shot her a glance. âWhat wound? Weâre not injured!â
âYeah! You probably dreamed about us getting injured or something. See, weâre perfectly fine!â Juan continued.
A dream? Thatâs impossible! I know what I saw! Thereâs definitely something fishy going on, but I canât argue with them in front of Evanâ¦
âYouâre right⦠I was probably seeing things⦠Anyway, Iâm glad youâre all alright! Why donât I make you kids something to eat? What would you like?â Susan asked with a smile.
âWe wanna have Mommyâs noodles!â Juan said.
He wanted Susan to leave as they had something to tell their daddy.
