Evan was stunned.
Why has Kyle sneaked out again?
He must have gone to see that woman again! Did she drug him or something? Why does he keep going to see her?
Evan got up and walked out of the study quickly, intending to drive his car to give chase.
However, the moment he came downstairs, he saw Kyle in his pajamas playing Legos quietly in the living room.
Evan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Blake.
Blake rubbed his eyes vigorously. He had just clearly seen Kyle sneaking out. How could he be in the living room now?
This…
It seems that both my eyes as well as my memory have gone wonky now.
After a short pause, he turned to Evan, “Mr. Seet, I’m afraid I’m old and tire easily nowadays. May I return to my hometown to rest and recuperate?”
Blake had been in the Seet family for as long as Evan could remember. He had been through thick and thin with the family. As such, even if Blake made mistake, he should not be dismissed.
Evan looked at him and replied with rare tone of gentleness.
“I shall ask the family doctor to come over and do a check-up on you. Meanwhile, don’t do any hard work. Just rest and don’t let anything disturb your peace of mind.”
“But, Mr. Seet, this is too much trouble for you.”
“Don’t worry about it. Just do as I say.”
Blake was extremely grateful for Evan’s way of handling the situation.
Kyle looked on, unable to understand why his Daddy would treat a servant so well.
When he recalled how Blake had secretly brought food to him and smuggled toys for him, however, Kyle suddenly wondered if he and Juan had gone too far.
He walked over to Blake and said truthfully, “Blake, you are not ill.”
After that, he turned around and went back to his bedroom.
As Blake watched his departing figure, he was unsure what those words meant.
Meanwhile, after Sylvia and Sylphiette found out that Nicole had moved, they searched high and low for her.
The moment they found her new address, they came looking for her.
The only reason they let her off the hook last time was because they stood to gain financially, but this time…
Sylvia glared at Nicole with eyes filled with anger, as if longing to tear her into pieces.
“You b*tch, if I’d known that you were going to trick us, we wouldn’t have let you off so easy that time.”
“That’s right, Nicole, you have to keep your word. You promised to give us eighty million, how could you just move out secretly? What kind of person does that?”
Sylphiette spoke to her in a dignified manner as if she were giving her a lecture but her gaze was dangerously sharp.
Now that the witch and miss goody-two-shoes are here, if they do not get the money they want, they will take extreme measures. I can’t play the same trick on them a second time.
I mustn’t show any weaknesses. If they think I’m weak, they will take advantage of me.
Since I cannot pay them and I don’t want them to take advantage of me, I shall fight them with all I’ve got.
“Well? Say something, b*tch! Do you remember what you promised us before?”
As Sylvia spoke, she shoved Nicole hard.
Nicole stumbled but managed to keep her footing. She glared at Sylvia’s angry face for a long time. Suddenly she moved forward and pushed hard with both hands. Sylvia had not expected this and she fell backward.
“Mom!”
Sylphiette screamed and quickly moved to steady her mother but she was not quick enough.
“Ouch! That hurts!”
Sylvia started cursing as she lay on the floor where she had fallen.
Sylphiette glared at Nicole, “Mom is your stepmother. How can you do this to her?”
Stepmother?
Nicole sneered, “She keeps calling me ‘b*tch.’ Does she really think of me as a daughter?”
“You! She is still your elder!”
“Elder? Right, she fed me leftovers and treated me like a servant. In the winter when it was freezing cold, she would pour cold water into my quilt while I was feverish. A stepmother who tried to freeze me to death… In comparison, what I just did was nothing!”
“You!” Sylphiette was speechless.
“You b*tch, don’t you dare slander me. I didn’t do any of that.”
“Whether you did it or not, only you and I know. If you don’t leave now, I’ll do all those things to you now.”
From the bedroom, Maya and Nina watched Nicole in astonishment with wide-opened eyes. Mommy is awesome too.
“Such a wicked woman. She bullied mommy. Maya, shall we teach them a lesson?”
“But Nina, Mommy told us not to go out lest we mess things up. Since Mommy is safe for now, let’s just keep watch.”
Nina thought what Maya said made sense. She’s right, what if we mess things up for mommy? As such, the two sisters continued to watch through the cracks in the door.
Sylphiette did not expect Nicole to take such a firm stand. If she had known earlier, she would have brought some helpers to force her into submission.
She bent down to pull Sylvia to her feet. Initially, Sylvia refused to get up as she planned to pretend to be seriously injured in order to blackmail Nicole.
Nicole glanced at her, feeling amused. In the next moment, she took out an apple and sat down opposite them on a sofa. Slowly, she started to munch on the fruit.
She did not even look in Sylvia’s direction, paying no heed to her antics.
Sylvia sat on the floor and bawled for a long time. After a while, she became uncertain if she would get any results.
“Mom, look at the place she’s living in. It’s not much different from a beggar’s den. Perhaps, she really has no money. We have to think of something else.” Sylphiette whispered in her ear.
Sylvia was furious. It’s only been a few years but it seems like this b*tch has learned a lot.
After Sylphiette helped her up, Sylvia was still feeling angry. She had never been treated so badly before.
To make it worse, the person treating her so badly was the same person who had been under her control before, Nicole.
I must make her pay for her actions.
Sylvia looked around the furnishings in the room and suddenly walked towards the TV angrily.
Realizing that she must be up to no good, Nicole hurried to stop her, but Sylphiette grabbed her wrist tightly.
“Nicole, Mom is our elder, you can’t do this.”
“Let go!”
Nicole struggled hard but Sylphiette’s hands were like clamps as she refused to release Nicole.
Just as the two of them were struggling, the TV suddenly fell to the ground with a loud crash.
The screen was shattered into fragments.
Sylvia sneered, gave Sylphiette a knowing glance, and went to search for other targets to vent her anger.
There were tears in Maya’s eyes, “The TV’s broken, what shall we watch from now on?”
“They’re really horrible! We should have taught them a lesson just now.”
Nina gritted her teeth and walked out with the feather duster seemingly poised for a duel to the death.
“Let go of me!”
Taking advantage of Nicole who was still struggling with all her strength, Sylphiette suddenly aimed a kick at her stomach, taking Nicole by surprise.
The sharp heel was only mere centimeters away from Nicole’s lower abdomen when she reacted, dodging aside with lightning speed. That was close!
Nicole knew clearly what kind of woman Sylphiette was under her innocent facade and she was prepared for it.
“Mommy, I’ll help you!”
