âYes, Mr. Seet!â
John took delight in seeing the shocked expression on Susanâs face. Yes, this is how the great Mr. Seet does things!
âPlease come with me, Ms. Susan.â Darius walked up to her and urged her to leave.
With that, Susan wiped her tears and walked out of Darkmoon Manor with her suitcase in tow.
Darius then drove her to the airport and waited till she entered before leaving.
Little did he know, Susan, too, waited for him to leave before coming back out.
Hmph! Thereâs no way Iâd leave this place! Iâm definitely settling down in this country!
Upon returning to Darkmoon Manor, Darius heard Evan talking on the phone.
âAre you sure about that?â
âYes, Mr. Seet. Weâve confirmed that the people who hurt Ms. Lane in prison were able to carry out their plans successfully and that Levant had been secretly helping them!â
But Levant likes Nicole so much⦠Why would he help those people hurt her? Hmm⦠I can only think of one possible explanation for this⦠Those who hurt Nicole had done so in my name, which would lead to her hating me even more. Levant wants Nicole to give up on me, so he gave them a hand and then came to her rescue like a knight in shining armor! Oh, Levant⦠If only Nicole knew that you were the truly cruel and heartless one hereâ¦
John let out a sigh. âMr. Seet, I think we should tell Mrs. Seet about this as soon as possible. Otherwise, sheâd still treat Levant as her savior.â
Meanwhile, Evan kept quiet.
Is that really all she thinks of Levant? Just a savior? Nicole had been planning on running away with him even before I put her in prison! I know sheâs been meeting up with him secretly a few times! But why would you do that, Nicole?
Jensen came in and said, âMr. Seet, remember that thing you had us investigate? Well, weâve found something.â
âWhatâd you find?â
âMurphy had Stephen under his control a few months ago, and Levant used that to threaten Mrs. Seet into meeting up with him. Thatâs why she went to see him.â
So he forced Nicole into meeting him by threatening to kill his stepfather? Hah⦠Just how pathetic can you get, Levant? Still⦠Why didnât Nicole tell me about this?
John saw that Evan was in deep thought and suggested, âMr. Seet, why donât we sneak into Wicked Palace tonight and tell Mrs. Seet everything?â
âShe wonât believe us.â Evan said after a brief pause.
To her, Iâm just a cruel and heartless man. Even if I were to tell her the truth, sheâd probably just think Iâm finding excuses for myself!
âMr. Seet, you donât know that for sure unless youâve tried it. Personally, I think itâs worth a shot. If Mrs. Seet does believe it, we could get the family back together and head home!â
Evan gave it some thought. I guess it is about time I go see Nicole and the kids!
âWeâll head over tonight!â
âYes, Mr. Seet!â
John was happy as he felt it would clear up the misunderstandings and resolve the issue soon.
At nightfall, Evan called Kyle and asked him where Nicoleâs room was.
He then snuck into Wicked Palace with John under the darkness of the night.
Juan and Kyle were waiting for him in the courtyard and got excited when they saw him.
Juan led Evan into the bedroom he shared with Kyle and told him everything Levant had done, including the necklace he gave Nicole.
âYou have to put in more effort, Daddy! Otherwise, Levant will succeed in stealing Mommy from you!â
Evan gave him a pat on the head. âI know, Juan!â
âKyle, could you have Maya and Nina leave the room for a while? Mr. Seet needs to have a word with your mother.â
