I was going to put on a great show for him. What a shame.
Juan turned to look at Sofie who had no intention to leave just yet.
Then he had an idea, “Ms. Su, why don’t you stay for lunch?”
This is my chance to expose her!
As surprised as Sofie was that ‘Kyle’ asked her to stay for lunch, she would not want to miss a chance to dine with Evan.
“Are you sure that’s okay?”
The suggestion also took Blake by surprise, but as a butler, he decided not to say anything about it at all.
“Of course it is. I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare the meal.”
As soon as Blake left the living room, Evan’s Maybach arrived at the villa.
After parking his car, Evan walked into the living room where Juan ran towards him and grabbed his long legs, “Daddy, I’ve missed you!”
Startled, Evan was wondering what happened to ‘Kyle’ because ‘Kyle’ had never acted that way before.
“Did something happen at the kindergarten again, Kyle?”
“Nope! I’ve been a good boy, daddy! You can ask Ms. Su.”
Ms. Su?
The way ‘Kyle’ addressed Sofie surprised Evan even more.
As he looked up, Evan noticed Sofie approaching him gracefully.
“Kyle was very good today. He got along so well with the other kids at the kindergarten today.”
Evan then looked down at ‘Kyle’ again as he could not help but notice how strange ‘Kyle’ seemed, especially the attitude towards Sofie. It was as if ‘Kyle’ was a different person.
At lunch, Juan even served Sofie food the moment she sat down. He was so well-mannered that even Evan was baffled.
It was just as uneasy for Sofie when she noticed how different ‘Kyle’ was before and after school.
“Sit down and eat your food, Kyle,” ordered Evan coldly, to which Juan nodded. Before taking from the dish he wanted, Juan looked at Sofie for her permission.
The gaze was making Sofie uncomfortable, “Do you want the buckle meat, Kyle? Let me get you some.”
The buckle meat was about to reach Juan’s plate when he suddenly dropped his plate onto the floor and smashed it.
Juan then began crying as he looked at Sofie, “I’m sorry, Ms. Su. I won’t take the dishes you want, so please don’t send me away to grandpa and grandma. Even after you and daddy get married and have another baby, I’ll still be good. Please don’t make me leave daddy.”
What Juan said shocked Sofie so much that her face turned pale, “What are you saying, Kyle? When did I…”
“You told me that in the car. You even said… you said…” Juan continued to cry before he finished his sentence and Evan was not happy about what was said.
No wonder Kyle acted so strangely today!
“What happened?” asked Evan in a tone so cold that it shocked the words out of Sofie.
“Evan, it’s not like that. It’s…”
“If you really didn’t say anything like that, why would he suddenly ask you to stay for lunch? And the way his attitude changed.”
“I don’t know. I really don’t. After school, he was just different.”
Secretly, Juan stole a glance at Sofie.
I didn’t make those words up. She did say them and I’m just letting daddy know in a different way.
Suddenly, Sofie walked up to Juan, “Tell your father, Kyle.
Tell him that I didn’t say those words.”
Juan then quickly hid behind Evan and acted like he was terrified.
“The driver heard it too. She told me that it was useless for me to tell daddy. She wanted to send me away to grandpa and grandma!”
Reminded of the driver, Sofie’s face darkened as she realized that she got set up.
Was it all part of his plan? From the moment I picked him up to the moment he asked me to stay for lunch?
Immediately, Evan summoned Sofie’s driver and asked him in a stern voice, “You should know the consequences of lying to me.”
Evan was not loud but he did not sound any less terrifying to the driver who was trembling with fear and kneeling on the floor.
After glancing at Sofie, he decided it was more important to save himself.
“I… I… I’ll talk.”
Then the driver told Evan the whole truth and nothing but the truth, including what Sofie said to Kyle two days before.
Panicking just beside them, Sofie tried a few times to interrupt the driver, but Evan would not allow it.
“If you try to interrupt again, I’ll make sure Su Group is done for!”
“I… I…” stammered Sofie before shutting up. She never thought that she would be utterly defeated by a child.
Juan finally understood why Kyle wanted him to be careful of Sofie.
Now that daddy knows what’s going on, let’s see what he’s going to do for ‘Kyle’.
Staring at Sofie with his pair of deep-set eyes, Evan suddenly remembered what Nicole said about keeping Kyle away from Sofie.
He thought Nicole was just stirring up problems when there was none and brain-washing Kyle then.
It seemed that I was in the wrong and Nicole was in the right.
Clenching her fists, Sofie knew it was impossible to plead for innocence then.
Coming up with excuses would only serve to disgust Evan even more, so instead, Sofie opted to kneel and apologize, “I’m sorry, Evan. It was my fault and my mistake. I’m…”
“I only asked you to send Kyle to school and pick him up afterward because I trusted you. Now, it seems that I’ve made a mistake,” explained Evan in a deep voice. His unconcealable anger made Sofie tremble in fear.
“Please, Evan. I know it was wrong of me to say those things, but you’ve seen how Kyle treated me. I wasn’t thinking straight because I was just too angry at him. I’ll apologize to Kyle and I promise it will never happen again. I promise!”
Sofie lowered her head in repentance and dared not to look into Evan’s glaring eyes.
Evan scoffed at her mention of promises, “I don’t need your promises. For every word that you’ve used to offend Kyle, Su Group will pay at the cost of losing a project!”
“They’re just words, Evan. Please! You can’t just ruin Su Group because of a few words!”
Just words? She sure knows how to make them sound light.
Evan continued his scoffing, “Oh, don’t you worry. I’m but saying a few words. What happens next to Su Group will depend entirely on itself.”
Evan’s few words will be enough to ruin Su Group!
Sofie started to panic as she could not imagine what Brandon would do to her if he found out about the trouble she was in.
“Please, Evan. I’m begging you! Please!”
“Get out!” growled Evan before leaving the dining room with ‘Kyle’.
Juan was very pleased with the outcome because it seemed that his father still cared about Kyle.
Now Sofie finally knows if it’s useless to go to daddy. She deserves this for bullying Kyle!
Turning back to look at Sofie who was sitting helplessly on the floor, Juan made a face and stuck his tongue out at her.
Looking at the face he made, Sofie wanted nothing more than to tear ‘Kyle’ to shreds, but she could not because Evan was still around.
She got up slowly and left Hillside Villa knowing that there was nothing she could do to amend her mistake.
After closing the door to the study, Evan looked at ‘Kyle’ with concern.
Juan made a sad face as he reached out to hug his father, “Daddy, I don’t want Ms. Su to send me to school anymore.”
“Don’t worry. She won’t be,” assured Evan as he softly patted Juan’s little shoulder.
The incident was indeed Evan’s mistake because he never expected that Sofie would do such a thing to Kyle.
Noticing how guilty Evan seemed, Juan quickly suggested, “Daddy, I want mommy to send me to school and pick me up.”
Evan’s eyes darkened the moment Juan mentioned Nicole. Even though Nicole was right about Sofie, it did not change the fact she had deceived him many times. He was still disgusted at her for abandoning Kyle and would have fed her to the dogs if it were not for Kyle.
