Truth be told, Nicole was afraid of going out with Evan. If she relapsed while she was out with him, it would greatly affect his image as well as that of the Seet Group.
She understood that if she remained at home, at least no one would find out about her âmadnessâ.
With this awareness in mind, she even planned to make up an excuse that weekend so the kids could go to the amusement park without her.
In the evening, the children suddenly appeared at Imperial Garden with Davin after their classes. Their visit caught the couple by surprise.
âWhy are you guys here all of a sudden?â Evan asked.
âDaddy, youâre enjoying your alone time with Mommy a bit too much here. Arenât you happy to see us?â Maya pouted.
âYeah, this is our home, after all,â Nina commented, âWe can come back whenever we want, right?â
Davin grinned. âDonât worry, Evan. I brought them here because thereâs something we need to do. Iâll bring them back when I leave. You can still have your alone time.â
Nicole remain silent.
She knew the âalone timeâ was just a front. In actuality, they were trying to distance the kids from her out of fear that her relapse might endanger the kids.
At this moment, however, what Evan was more concerned with was the reason the kids had come here.
âDid you forget what you asked me to do?â Davin asked.
âNever.â Evanâs gaze immediately sharpened. âWhat did you find?â
âIâve found everything regarding Susanâs whereabouts. Not only that, but we also have a trap in place. All we need to do now is wait for her to deliver herself to us.â
âAre you certain?â
âA hundred percent!â Davin smacked his chest confidently. âJuan played a big part in coming up with this. Thatâs why I brought them here. You two just enjoy yourselves and leave the rest to us!â
Evan looked at the children. They were all vying to get their hands on Susan as she definitely deserved the wrath coming her way.
She caused Russell Seetâs death, framed Nicole, and tortured her in jail until she almost died. Not to mention the latest of her theatrics, the hallucinogen.
The mere thought of the heinous acts she had committed greatly infuriated Evan.
âEvan, she still saved you, after all. Would it bother you if we go overboard?â
Saved me? Ha!
Evan had already found out what actually happened in that fire all those years ago.
âYou can do anything, as long as sheâs alive. She and I have some unfinished business to settle.â
Even though Davin was oblivious to what Evan was talking about, the murderous intent in Evanâs eyes was enough to tell Davin that Susan was in huge trouble.
âGot it. Weâll go set up now,â Davin said.
âOkay.â
After Davin and the children left, Nicole looked at Evan and asked, âWhat unfinished business are you talking about?â
âSomething from a long time ago. The fireâ¦â
Nicole quietly listened as Evan explained what he found out about the fire.
When he finished, she was dumbfounded.
She did not know that Susan was capable of such feats. To plan out such an act when she was in college overseas was beyond wicked. Nevertheless, she did hurt herself in the process. Karma, perhaps.
Susan was definitely not who she seemed.
âHow are you going to settle this?â
âYouâll find out when the time comes.â
Evan did not give Nicole a straight answer, but the latter did not mind. She deserves all the punishments possible.
Meanwhile, Maya was looking up at the darkening sky. âUncle Davin, why does the bad woman have to appear at night?â
âWell, itâs easier for her to do hurtful things at night.â
âUncle Davin, you donât know this but when Mommy was in prison, this bad woman really abused me a lot. She even used silver needles to stab me. Even now, I canât look at Mommyâs needles without feeling scared.â
