“What a hypocritical woman!” Kyle glared at her, not wanting to watch her act anymore. He spun around and walked towards his room.
“Kyle, are you forgiving me? I…”
Kyle’s bedroom door slammed shut.
Only then did Sofie pursed her lips sulkily and turn around to look at Nicole. “Is Kyle your child?”
“Yes!” Nicole replied unhesitatingly.
Sofie’s scarlet lips curved into a smile as she whispered beside Nicole’s ears, “No wonder! I was wondering where his annoying personality came from. So he inherited it from you, huh?”
Nicole smirked.
From how quickly Sofie’s attitude changed, she knew that Sofie was just a manipulative b****. She was as annoying as Sylphiette, who always acted so innocently and saint-like.
“Kyle’s personality takes after his parents, Mr. Seet and I. Does that disappoint you?”
Nicole decided to give Sofie a taste of her medicine. Since this b**** is irritating me, I’ll act in the same manner towards her.
“Hmph! Don’t get so full of yourself just yet. After all, you’re not married to Evan. He won’t want a woman like you.”
Nicole’s heart skipped a beat. Although Sofie’s words sounded unpleasant, it did not necessarily mean that she was wrong. Evan probably won’t want a woman like me.
However, to prove that she was not intimidated, Nicole clenched her fists and replied nonchalantly, “At least I’m staying here! What about you? I stand a better chance than you, don’t I?”
“You!”
At that moment, Sofie felt that Nicole’s pajamas were exceptionally glaring.
Suddenly, her eyes sparkled. With a slight smirk playing on her lips, she yelled and toppled backwards.
Nicole watched as Sofie fell. Initially, she wanted to help Sofie, but she had second thoughts after that.
With her arms crossed over her chest, Nicole watched in amusement as Sofie fell onto the ground.
Then, as expected, Sofie tried to put the blame on Nicole.
Instead of accusing Nicole of pushing her, Sofie accused her of…
“It’s not Mommy. You fell yourself.”
Maya, who was standing the closest to them, saw everything clearly.
“You’re defending her because she’s your Mommy. Ouch! My waist hurts. Something stabbed my head just now. It hurts so much!”
Stab her? Nicole burst out laughing. Looks like Sofie has investigated my background. It’s not surprising though. After all, the trending news reports are all plastered with pictures of me, Evan and the children. Anthony Su, Sofie’s father, met me through a friend before. Hence, Sofie definitely recognized me as Tussaud, the adept acupuncturist. But how dare she accuse me when there’s not even a single needle in sight?
“Maya, go upstairs with your sister. Mommy has to deal with Aunt Sofie.”
Nina glanced at Sofie. “Let’s go, Maya. I’m sure Mommy can do it!”
Both of them went upstairs, while Sofie shrieks of agony became louder.
As she desired, Evan emerged after hearing her howls.
With a cold expression, Evan looked down at her in contempt, not saying a word.
“Evan, my head hurts. Ms. Lane stabbed me with a needle just now. She…”
“I stabbed you?” Nicole smirked coldly. “You’re right! I stabbed, pushed, hit and bullied you. What’s next? What do you want?”
She wanted to see if Sofie’s tricks were going to unfold like how she imagined.
“Evan, look at her! She’s simply so mean!” With that, Sofie burst into tears, as if she had been wronged. Looking at how miserable she looked, Nicole almost felt guilty.
Although everything else was fake, her tears were real.
Is she trying to arouse Evan’s pity by crying?
Upon that thought, Nicole scoffed. “Are you made up of tears? Mr. Seet, bring a piece of tissue over quickly and wipe her tears away.”
Evan did not see clearly how Sofie fell. However, he did not like it when Nicole behaved so haughtily. Does she really think that she’s the female owner of this house and has nothing to fear? She only managed to stay here because of Juan. Yet, how she’s acting right now is getting under my skin. This will not do. Regardless of who’s right or wrong, I must make her realize the bitter truth.
“Apologize to Sofie!”
Nicole was taken aback by Evan’s words.
Why should I apologize?
However, when Nicole thought about it again, Evan had always misunderstood her. If he suddenly believed her, it would be abnormal. Furthermore, Sofie was crying so pitifully now.
Still, the fact remained that this was not Nicole’s fault. If she could prove her innocence, why did she have to be the scapegoat?
Crossing her arms over her chest, Nicole rebuked defiantly, “It’s not my fault so why should I apologize?”
“You admitted just now that you stabbed, pushed and bullied me!” Wiping her tears away, Sofie glared at Nicole.
Nicole was at a loss for words.
She only said that on purpose because she wanted to see if Evan would take pity on Sofie!
A mocking look flickered in Evan’s eyes. This foolish woman only knows how to shoot her mouth off. Let’s see how you can prove your innocence now.
“Evan, you heard it too. She admitted it herself.”
“That’s right, you admitted it yourself,” agreed Evan as he stared directly as Nicole.
“I-I…”
Hah! Indeed, Evan, that jerk, is siding with Sofie. Is he trying to join forces with her and pin the blame on me? Dream on!
Nicole’s eyes sparkled. “Mr. Seet, if I can prove that I didn’t stab her, how would you deal with this incident?”
Looking at Nicole’s confident look, Evan frowned. Does she have any evidence?
He turned around and looked at Sofie. “If Sofie really accused you, I’ll make her apologize to you and promise not to step into Hillside Villa ever again.”
Evan was already infuriated when Sofie tried to hit Kyle earlier.
Hence, he no longer wanted to see this woman again.
Sofie was dumbfounded.
On the other hand, Nicole was secretly overjoyed. Since the four children hate her so much, this is a great opportunity to stop her from coming.
“How’s that, Ms. Su? Do you dare to take up the bet?”
Sofie was stuck between a rock and a hard place. If she agreed to the request, then there was a huge chance that she would have to apologize and stop coming to Hillside Villa.
However, if she refused, she would be implicitly admitting that she accused Nicole on purpose.
“Say something! I still need to take care of the kids, so I have no time to waste on you.”
“I promise. I’m sure that Evan will seek justice for me.”
Hah! Did she graduate from an acting school? How can she act so well? She’s still so stubborn even on the verge of her demise.
Evan looked at Nicole. “Tell us what evidence you have.”
Chuckling, Nicole raised a finger and pointed upwards.
“The evidence is right there!”
As Sofie’s eyes looked up in the direction of Nicole’s finger, her heart skipped a beat and her face paled.
She suddenly saw a surveillance camera above her head!
Why is there a camera in Hillside Villa’s living room?
Evan smirked. He had deliberately installed these surveillance cameras to monitor Nicole when she was taking care of Kyle.
He did not expect them to end up helping her instead.
“Sofie, do you want to apologize and leave now, or decide after Mr. Seet watched the surveillance footage?”
The color had completely drained from Sofie’s face.
I have just reconciled with Evan, but am I going to lose the opportunity to get closer to him now? No way!
She clenched her fists. At the next moment, she suddenly scrambled up and sprinted towards the wall. With a loud thud, she collapsed onto the ground and fainted.
