“Juan looks exactly like Kyle and you!”
Evan reeled from the shock at hearing this.
“I have pictures of him since he was a toddler, and you can take a look.”
Evan felt a turmoil of emotions as he looked at Nicole. There were shock, concern, confusion and disbelief all jumbled up in him like a palette of colors!
“These three sentences describe everything perfectly!” exclaimed Davin as he snapped his fingers and turned to Evan to wait for his reaction.
Evan knitted his brows as he tried to process everything he had heard. He had never dreamed of receiving such shocking news.
Lowering his eyes, he looked at the pictures of the child on Nicole’s phone. The boy looked exactly like Kyle.
The only difference was that Kyle had never worn the clothes that this boy was wearing.
Moreover, the background of the picture was obviously the architecture of a foreign country.
Evan’s calmness shattered.
He snatched the phone from Nicole and looked closely at the picture.
Is this really my son?
I have two sons?
Nicole has secretly hidden one son away from me for so many years?
Um…
Evan lifted his eyes and looked at Nicole in shock. “Nicole! Not only did you lie about your death, but you also lie to me about this? What authority did you have to take him away from me?”
Sigh!
This is not the reaction that I expected from Evan.
Shouldn’t he be happy and surprised to find out that he has another son?
Nicole raised the child on her own, so the least he can do is show some gratitude!
But his reaction is the total opposite.
“You shouldn’t act like this, Evan. Ms. Lane gave birth to two sons of yours, so you should…”
“You have no right to teach me what to do!” Evan reprimanded him angrily. Davin had no choice but to keep quiet although he was not happy about it.
Sure, Evan was definitely surprised by the news.
However, he felt somewhat upset about it because he didn’t have the opportunity to take on the responsibility as a father to this boy since he didn’t even know his existence.
Aside from that, this woman kept it from him and took away his right as a father. Would she hide this from him forever if the boy were not kidnapped?
What right did she have to do so?
“Where is he now?” Evan lifted her phone and asked in a serious tone.
“He was kidnapped by Sylphiette. They want a ransom of two billion to release him.”
“Sylphiette?”
Davin spoke up, “Zane Lane’s daughter! I totally blame you for this, Evan. If you didn’t blame Nicole for Lane Corporation’s bankruptcy, then Sylphiette would not kidnap her son, who is also your son. This is all your…” Ugh! A moment of anger caused so much trouble!
Davin’s voice trailed off when he saw Evan looking daggers at him. He quickly shut his mouth tightly.
Now he won’t even let me talk!
Evan then asked Nicole to pass him the phone number used by Sylphiette to ask for the ransom. He wanted to locate her whereabouts using the function on the phone.
Thus, Nicole called Sylphiette to inform her that she had the money and arranged to exchange the money for her son right away.
She followed Evan’s orders and repeated what he told her to say on the phone. When Sylphiette got the call, she was over the moon.
She said she doesn’t have eight million, but she’s able to take out two billion in such a short timeframe after her son is kidnapped.
Seems like this is a useful tactic!
“Send the debit card to the designated location. I’ll release the b**tard child after I confirm that everything is fine. I’ll send you the location in a while.”
Nicole had the phone on loudspeaker. When she heard the words “b**tard child”, pain shot through her heart.
A deadly glint flashed across Evan’s eyes. Soon enough, Sylphiette will pay the price for her deeds.
A few moments later, Evan received a call to inform him of Sylphiette’s location.
“We’ll act separately! Both of you wait for her to confirm the location and deliver the card while John and I will go to save the boy!”
Evan passed the card to Nicole and left with John in a hurry.
Tsk, tsk. He acted all tall and mighty earlier, but now he has handed her the card willingly.
“Evan, don’t forget! I won the bet!” Davin called out as he watched his brother leaving. However, Evan continued walking like he didn’t hear anything.
At that moment, Nicole received the message from Sylphiette and sprang into action with Davin.
“Since your brother found out Juan’s location, why did he ask us to send the money to Sylphiette?”
“That’s because we need to stall her! We need to make her think everything is within her control and that she can get the money immediately. Then, she’ll let down her guard and it’ll be the perfect timing for us to strike.”
Nicole nodded in understanding. She hoped Sylphiette would treat Juan better after knowing she would get the ransom soon.
Meanwhile, Sylphiette couldn’t help herself from sharing the news with Sylvia. Although Sylphiette was excited to get her hands on the two billion, she did not forget to throw insults at Nicole.
Sylvia got heated too and continued scolding, “The little b**ch will hand over the money without any objection, right? If she has this amount of money, she has probably been hooking up with a rich tycoon. How lucky!”
“Mom, do you think she got the money from the b**tard child’s father?”
“The b**tard child’s father? I think it’s impossible. He’s probably a pathetic thug. Do you think she would be able to seduce a bigshot at the bar? It’s more likely that she found a new man who is rich.”
They got carried away by their gossip and forgot that Juan was still locked inside the room.
Ten minutes had passed.
Sylphiette and Sylvia were shocked. How on earth did the child manage to break the padlock?
While they were still trying to figure out how that could have happened, someone kicked them.
They were caught off guard by the sudden attack and fell face-first onto the ground.
“Ouch! Which son of a b*tch did this?” Sylvia cursed. When she lifted her head, a foot landed on her chest.
John was towering over her. “Who are you cursing at?”
“I-I’m referring to you!” Sylvia glared at him angrily.
He smirked and sarcastically responded, “Oh, so you are scolding me.”
“You son of a b*tch!”
Unhappy at being trampled upon by John, Sylvia struggled to lift his foot from her chest but to no avail.
“Save your energy. You might need it later,” John mocked.
“You b*stard!”
Sylvia was furious but helpless at the same time.
At the entrance, there stood Evan dressed in a black suit, emitting a cold, distant aura.
Sylphiette curiously studied the classy-looking man. Instantly, fear appeared in her eyes.
She cautiously asked, “Are you Seet Group’s president?”
“Not bad, you do know your stuff.” Evan smirked.
“W-We have not offended the Seet Group in any way, so why are you doing this to us, Mr. Seet?”
“Did you have a good time torturing that boy?” He responded.
Sylphiette’s expression dimmed and a glimpse of disbelief appeared in her eyes.
Did the b*stard who Nicole gave birth to have something to do with Evan?
