Sylvia got what she wanted and she could not hide the happiness in her face, “Don’t worry about it, I’ll
make sure everything is being done flawlessly.”
Sylvia quickly gave Mr. Cannon a call.
“I’ll go over tonight and inspect her myself, to see if she is well worth five million.”
“Tonight? Mr. Cannon, I just want to seal the deal as soon as possible. She is in high demand. Her
figure will definitely please you. Besides, her soft and gentle personality will be to your liking. You will
love her! Can you come over earlier?” Sylvia was willing to lie in order to seal the deal.
She went to great lengths and even described Nicole as a soft and gentle woman, which was absurd
and untrue.
Mr. Cannon was thrilled, “I’m still overseas and cannot make it there immediately. I’ll be there in the
afternoon.”
“In the afternoon? That works for me. You can come over by then,” Sylvia responded.
“Great!” Mr. Cannon exclaimed in excitement.
Sylvia was relieved when she put down the phone. Everything was settled and now she will wait for the
deal to close and she will receive her payment.
“B****, once everything is set in stone, you would not be in Sylphiette’s way anymore.
…
After school, Nina and Maya were waiting anxiously for Nicole. They saw their peers leaving one by
one and their frustration started to brew. Their eyes dilated with hopeful images of their mother arriving
to pick them up.
“Nina, why is Mommy not here yet?” Maya asked.
Maya pouted and her disappointment was evident.
“Maybe Mommy is busy. Let’s just wait for her,” Nina replied.
The two waited for some time but Nicole still did not show up.
Nina took out her phone and tried to call Nicole. However, Nicole’s phone was switched off.
What happened?
Did Mommy forget about us?
The pair cluelessly looked at each other.
“Maya, I’ll bring you home. Let’s call for a cab,” Nina made a decision to not wait any longer.
Maya nodded joyfully.
She was amazed at how her sister handled the situation. Nina didn’t pick a fight with her. Instead, she
surprisingly took care of her and acted like an elder sister.
The two sisters reached home and realized that Nicole was not there. Nina quickly gave Rocky a call.
“Uncle, is Mommy still at the clinic?” she asked innocently.
“I’m not really sure about that. I was not at the clinic today. What’s wrong?” he sounded concerned.
“Mommy is not home yet. I want to know where she is,” Nina held back her tears.
“I’ll give her a call,” Rocky immediately dialed Nicole’s number.
“She switched off her phone,” he was puzzled.
She turned off her phone?
Rocky could not figure out why.
Is she with Evan right now?
“I’ll ask around. Don’t worry, your Mommy will be safe and sound,” he consoled the girls.
“Thank you, Uncle Rocky,” the pair responded.
Rocky wanted to give Evan a call. However, a sudden thought crossed his mind and he froze with the
phone in his hand.
If Evan knew that he was meddling with Nicole’s matters, he would be offended and started going after
Yan Group again.
The previous encounter with Evan caused him to lose the Summervale building. If he were to piss him
off again this time, the repercussions could be severe!
Besides, Ian was infuriated when he found out that Rocky made an enemy of Evan.
Now, he was given a shot at redemption. Everything had to be perfect and he could not risk messing up
the project assigned to him.
He struggled to make a decision and tried to convince himself that Nicole would be fine with Evan.
With the compelling reason that he tricked his mind to believe, he was convinced to dismiss his worries
and focus on the work.
Nina was restless as there was no news from Rocky.
On the spur of the moment, she thought of asking Juan to search for Nicole.
Without any hesitation, she picked up her phone and called Juan.
Juan was holding Lego tenderly in his arms when the phone rang. Upon hearing the news, he
immediately retrieved a GPS tracking device across the room and sophisticatedly maneuvered through
the buttons.
It was not long before he managed to track her down. He swiftly called Nina, “I manage to find out
where mommy is. I’m heading over there now.”
“Juan, I’ll take care of it. I will give you a call if I need help,” Nina surprisingly took up the responsibility.
Juan thought about her suggestion and viewed it as an opportunity for her to develop independence.
Kyle and himself could not be there for them all the time as they were often not physically around their
mother.
“All right then, I’ll leave it to you. Please call me if anything happens,” he responded.
Nina brought some bread for Maya before leaving, “I’m going to look for Mommy now. You can have
some bread while waiting. Don’t leave the house or you’ll get kidnapped!”
