Love really does humble someone⦠No one in the corporate world wouldâve dared take up that attitude with Mr. Seet unless they had a death wish!
He let out a sigh and walked up to Evan. âHow did it go, Mr. Seet? Did you manage to explain it to Mrs. Seet?â
Evan ignored him and walked off, leaving John rooted to the spot in confusion.
Whyâd he just leave like that? Did he manage to tell her the truth or not? Judging by his temper, he most probably didnât⦠No, this wonât do⦠I have to tell her! I canât let Mrs. Seet misunderstand him like this!
John knocked on the door and entered the room.
âCan I help you?â Nicole asked.
John nodded sternly. âI came to tell you something.â
âIf this is about Evan, you can save your breath. I donât want to hear it!â
She really does hate Mr. Seet a lot⦠Even so, I must say it!
In order to make sure he could finish what he had to say, John restructured his sentences. âItâs got nothing to do with Evan and everything to do with your suffering in prison.â
Nicole lifted her head and glared fiercely at him. Evan was the one who hurt me in prison! How could this have nothing to do with him? Is he just saying this to defend Evan?
âI donât want to hear about that, John! Go speak to Evan if you insist on talking about it! Try asking him why he was so cruel towards me!â
John saw how agitated Nicole was and quickly expressed his understanding of her emotions.
As if anyone would be able to stay calm when their traumatic events are brought up, right?
âI understand how you feel. Mr. Seet, too, was devastated when he found out about your suffering in prison.â
Heh, as if Evan didnât know about it⦠Is John trying to whitewash what he did?
The person that hurt her said he was carrying out Evanâs orders.
Although Nicole had her doubts at first, she couldnât think of anyone else in Y City capable of doing such a thing.
The person had produced a letter with Evanâs handwriting on it; hence, the reason she was so convinced that he was behind it all.
âSave your breath, John. You canât whitewash that guy!â
âI can see that you donât trust Mr. Seet at all. Do you know what Levant was doing while you were suffering in prison? He was helping those people who hurt you! He was an accomplice!â
Nicole stared wide-eyed at him in shock and disbelief.
No⦠That canât be true⦠Levant was the one who saved me when my life was hanging by a thread! Why would he do that if he helped them hurt me?
âEvan is a cruel and shameless man. Youâve spent so much time around him that youâre becoming more and more like him.â
Is she saying that Iâm as cruel and shameless as Mr. Seet? Now I see why he said she wouldnât believe meâ¦
âJohn, are you seriously framing Levant in order to whitewash Evan? I donât think I even know you anymore.â
John sighed. Itâs pointless to say any further. If anything, it would just make her think this is all part of Mr. Seetâs plans. Looks like the only way to convince her is to present her with solid evidence.
âJust you wait, Mrs. Seet. I will prove it to you.â
With that, John turned around and left the room.
Nicole took a deep breath and let out a wry smile.
Could he have been telling the truth? No, that canât be! Itâs impossible!
Despite her stubborn attitude, it was obvious that Johnâs words had left a strong impact on her.
After that, John returned to Darkmoon Manor and saw The Hidden Masters waiting for them in the living room.
