Chapter 977: Chapter 1014

Something like that happened? Davin frowned. “Maya, are you having those nightmares because you really hated her?”

“No, Uncle!” Nina butted in. “It’s all real! She was even hospitalized. It happened in the few months when you and Aunt Sheila weren’t here because of that bet with Grandma.”

“Really?” Davin scrutinized Maya.

Both girls nodded.

“I thought something was wrong back then. Why didn’t you say anything, Maya?” Kyle asked.

“I-I was afraid that she would hurt Mommy. She blackmailed me with Mommy’s life…” Maya muttered in reply.

Davin let out a heavy sigh after hearing what she said. It’s not just blackmailing anymore; she actually did horrible things to Nicole, again and again. She even poisoned Nicole.

“Maya, if things like this happen again, you absolutely must let us know, okay?”

“Okay, Uncle Davin.”

Juan clenched his fist as he recalled how Maya looked when she was lying on the sickbed. “Uncle Davin, I’ll go get Mommy’s silver needles. What she did to Maya, we’ll pay her back tenfold.”

“Go.”

Juan immediately sprinted away and returned with Nicole’s silver needles. He also told Evan and Nicole about what Susan had done to Maya.

Evan gritted his teeth. “Nicole, you stay here. I’ll go join them.”

“I’m coming with you.”

“It’s too obvious if we’re all there.”

“Does it matter at this point?”

Evan hesitated.

He was afraid that Nicole might undergo a relapse after seeing Susan, so he decided to not go over and chose to accompany Nicole instead.

“Why aren’t we going anymore? I want to take revenge for what she did to Maya, too!”

Evan did not reply.

You’re all that matters right now. It’d be better for you to stay away from Susan.

“Our presence will compromise their plan.” Evan brushed her question aside. “Let’s just wait. With the kids and Davin there, she’s not going anywhere.”

Nicole did not say anything after that. However, she looked in the direction of the rear part of the house, where the maids lived.

After half an hour, a maid was seen walking in.

“Look.” Davin signaled to Juan. “Isn’t this the same face? Her body’s certainly different, though. She’s slimmer today and has curves in all the right places.”

Nina rolled her eyes at Davin. “I’m telling Aunt Sheila about this.”

“Hey!” Davin turned towards Nina. “I’m your uncle here; we’re family! You and the sheep are not, so you should be on my side, you know?”

“But Aunt Sheila offered me some benefits and asked me to keep an eye on you.”

“Benefits?”

You really are something, you sheep!

“How are benefits more important than family?” Davin questioned.

“But I think benefits are important!”

Are you trying to extort me here? Davin choked on his breath.

“Oh Nina, I’m doing this for a reason. Besides, she’s not especially pretty, anyway. I’m just looking at her because I need to investigate her.”

“I don’t care. I’ll tell Aunt Sheila you were drooling all over the place at the sight of a pretty lady! How disgusting!” Nina rolled her eyes again.

Davin instinctively touched his mouth after hearing what Nina said. I didn’t drool! This is slander!

Truth be told, the only thing Davin was worried about if Sheila found out was her persistent nagging.

“Nina, how much did she give you? I’ll double it, okay?”

Nina finally smiled and nodded.

“Aunt Sheila promised me the latest limited-edition makeup kit———the full set.”
