She looked at him in surprise. âEvan, did I do something wrong? Why are you asking me to leave? I donât want to go!â Susan began tearing up as she spoke.
âYou should return home and carry on with your life, Susan.â
Susan fell silent. Is Evan using this as an excuse to reject me?
She looked at him with a pitiful expression. âEvan, Iâ¦â
âDonât make me repeat myself, Susan. Get out. Iâll have Darius send you to the airport tomorrow.â
Seeing that Evan had made up his mind, Susan kept quiet and left the room with tears streaming down her face.
John and the others were shocked when they saw her come out looking like that.
âDo you think Mr. Seet bullied Susan? Thatâs not a very gentlemanly thing to doâ¦â Jeremy sighed.
âMr. Seet must be in a really bad mood if heâs so harsh on Ms. Susan. Weâd better be extra careful.â Jensen shuddered.
âSigh⦠Darkmoon Manor sure is quiet without those kids around⦠What do you think theyâre doing right now?â Darius asked.
âTheyâre obviously spying on Mrs. Seet and keeping Levant away from her, duh!â Damien replied.
âDo you think theyâd actually be able to, though?â Jeremy asked.
âI think they can. Those kids are freaking geniuses, after all!â Jensen said.
âThey may be geniuses, but Levant is no fool either! I bet theyâll soon realize theyâre in for a tough fight!â John sighed.
âWhat if Levant deems them a threat? Do you think theyâd be in danger, then?â Damien asked.
âTheyâve only just gotten there today, so I doubt theyâd be in any danger just yet. Some conflicts are bound to arise, though.â John replied.
Meanwhile, at the Wicked Palace, Kyle and Juan were standing guard outside the door of the living room.
They heard Levant was coming over to see their Mommy that night, and Evan had specifically instructed them to keep him away from her. As such, they had been standing guard like this after dinner.
Sure enough, they saw Levant coming towards the living room half an hour later.
The two exchanged glances and quickly stepped in front of the door, blocking his path.
Levant looked at them curiously and asked, âWhat are you two doing standing here like this? Are you being punished for something you did?â
Weâre not being punished! Weâre protecting Mommy from perverts like you!
Juan answered honestly, âNo, weâre guarding the door!â
âHuh? Why would you do that?â Levant asked.
âBecause Mommy is taking a shower with Maya and Nina right now, so weâre guarding the door to keep perverts out!â
Perverts? Why would there be perverts in Wicked Palace? These two sure are somethingâ¦
He looked at the box in his hands and said, âIn that case, could you hand this box over to your Mommy for me? Iâll come back later.â
Kyle took the box over and said coldly, âWeâll hand it over to Mommy, so you donât have to come over later.â
âThatâs right! Mommyâs gonna be busy tucking Maya and Nina in after theyâre done showering, so theyâd be asleep by the time you come back anyway!â
Levant eyed the two of them. Oh? So theyâre trying to keep me away from Nicole, eh? Interestingâ¦
âOkay then, tell your mommy Iâll come by tomorrow.â
Juan nodded his head profusely.
Kyle, however, was curious as to the contents of the box in his hands and gave it a little shake, but he couldnât hear anything inside.
âWhat do you think is inside?â He asked Juan.
Juan tried taking a closer look at the box, but there were just too many possibilities for him to even make a rough guess.
âHow about we open it and take a look?â He suggested.
Kyle nodded. The two then hid in a corner and opened the box.
âWhoa, itâs a necklace! This shiny thing⦠Itâs a diamond, right? I bet Mommy would look pretty wearing such a huge diamond on her neck!â Juanâs eyes sparkled at the sight of the diamond necklace.
