Chapter 926: Chapter 925

“Are you talking about what happened to her in prison? My dad’s been investigating it. I can give him a call to find out if there’s been any progress,” Sheila offered, taking out her phone.

Suddenly, Davin’s phone began to ring.

He glanced at the screen and saw a phone number that he did not recognize. He answered the call anyway. “Who is this?”

“Mr. Davin, I would like to give you an update on our investigations into Ms. Sheila’s case on behalf of Mr. Muir,” the man on the other side of the line said. “The team has already arrived in K Nation with the relevant evidence and witnesses. Would you like to meet us now?”

Davin was taken aback by how fast the investigations had completed. “Yes, of course! I’ll meet you at the airport in half an hour.”

Davin told Sheila about the phone call on the way to the airport, and she broke into a huge grin upon hearing about it. “My dad does things at lightning speed! Aren’t you going to praise me?”

Davin gave her a thumbs-up. “Well done! Thanks for your help!”

“I’m sure Ms. Nicole would agree to save your brother once she hears about the truth,” Sheila said with a sigh.

Davin nodded with a smile on his face.

However, much to their confusion, the team that was supposed to be waiting for them at the airport was nowhere to be found.

Davin gave the unfamiliar number a call, only to hear a robotic voice telling him that the recipient had turned off his phone.

They exchanged worried glances as a horrible feeling formed at the pit of their stomachs.

“Did…something happen to them?” Sheila asked.

“Someone must have taken them away before we got here,” Davin said, nodding. “Urgh, how were they so fast?”

“Who could it have been?” Sheila asked before a look for horror spread across her face. “Could it be Levant?”

Davin grimaced. How would Levant even know about this?

Did he send someone to spy on us from the shadows? Did they kidnap the team before we arrived? Why would they do such a thing?

How in the world are we going to let Nicole know of the truth now?

Would she still be willing to help him without knowing the truth?

The two of them returned empty-handed. Upon hearing what they had encountered, John hung his head and sighed.

We’re done for…Ms. Nicole would never forgive Mr. Seet for the things that he never did… I don’t think she’s going to help us save Mr. Seet…

Meanwhile, back at the Wicked Palace…

Levant sat across from Nicole with a gentle smile on his face, as though the recent events were all just a nightmare.

The more Nicole stared at him, the more he reminded her of the ‘Levant’ that Evan pretended to be.

Everything looked the same on the surface, but a closer look would reveal the miniscule differences in the way they spoke and carried themselves.

Evan’s ‘Levant’ gave her a sense of security and familiarity, while the real Levant sitting in front of her did not give her the same feeling.

She could not help but admit to herself that Evan had already left an unforgettable impression in her mind.

Regardless of his appearance, she could remember him and his mere presence make her feel comfortable and safe.

“Why aren’t you talking, Nicole?” Levant asked, breaking the silence and that pulled her back to her senses.

“Have you gone to visit your father at the hospital? How is he?” she asked.

“He’s doing well. The doctor said that he’ll be able to return home after a few more days of rest,” Levant said. “Let’s get married after he gets discharged, shall we?”

Nicole froze and gave him a strained grin. “Let’s talk about this after your father gets discharged.”

Levant fell silent.

He could sense that her attitude to him seemed to have changed.

She used to be so eager to marry me whenever I brought up the subject before this.

It must have been because Evan’s been impersonating me!

To make things worse for Levant, Evan had sent Stephen back to the estate, leaving him with nothing to threaten Nicole with. In order to carry on with his plan, the only option he had left was to force Nicole into marriage.

“How about this? I’ll ask my father about our wedding tomorrow,” Levant said. “Are you fine with that?”

Nicole remained silent for a while before answering, “Levant, marriage isn’t something to be treated lightly. Let’s wait for your father to get discharged first.”
