Sylphiette was shaking like a leaf with her eyes full of horror, not knowing what Evan would do to her.
However, thinking that she got Kyle and Juan’s promise to let her go, she managed to muster up the
courage and walk past him.
Before she could take the third step, Evan suddenly kicked her right in the stomach.
John and the two little ones held their breath when they saw Sylphiette being flung away. The woman
collapsed onto the ground, wincing in pain.
John smiled to himself. Mr. Seet is indeed ruthless and unmerciful as always!
“Evan Seet, your sons have promised to let me go!” Sylphiette’s face was pale as she bit the bullets
and tried to reason with him.
Evan shot a death stare at her. “My sons have promised you such a thing, but I have not!” His voice
was cold and icy.
The malice in his voice sent a chill down Sylphiette’s spine. She couldn’t help shivering, looking at the
man in terror as if he were a grim reaper who was going to snatch her life at any moment.
“Daddy, this witch told us that Mommy is at the Wicked Palace.”
Evan had overheard this piece of information from outside the room just now. Jensen had also
mentioned to him about the Wicked Palace yesterday. At this moment, he was more than certain that
Levant must have had something to do with Nicole’s disappearance.
“Mr. Seet, what should we do with this woman?” John asked eagerly. He had with a sheepish grin,
trying to get in his superior’s good books.
Evan cast his eyes over the whole lot. Then, he locked his gaze on Kyle and Juan and warned, “Don’t
expect to get off lightly if I ever catch the two of you skipping school again! Do you understand me?”
Hanging their heads low, the two little ones traded glances and replied to their father in dejection, “Yes,
Daddy.”
John tried to take up the cudgels on the children’s behalf. “Mr. Seet, please forgive them. They were
simply trying to save Mrs. Seet…” He trailed off when he saw Evan shooting daggers at him.
“You ignored my orders and did as they said instead. And now you’re defending them?”
“No, that’s not my intention. Mr. Seet, I only did all this because I knew you are anxious to find out
about Mrs. Seet’s whereabouts.”
Evan decided to go easy on John upon seeing him acting all jittery and nervous. Then, the former gave
the latter an order, “Send her to prison!”
“Yes, Mr. Seet!”
Sylphiette’s face drained of all color upon hearing those words that spelled doom for her future.
As soon as all of them came out of the hotel, the two little ones asked their father, “Daddy, when are we
going to save Mommy?”
Evan lowered his gaze to look at his children. “Leave everything to Daddy. The two of you should head
to school now.”
Although the children wished to go with Evan, they couldn’t possibly do that without his permission. So,
all they could do was set their hopes on him. “Daddy, you must bring Mommy back!”
“Alright, I promise.”
…
Murphy was sitting in the armchair in the magnificent living room of the Wicked Palace. His eyes were
full of disappointment as he looked at the obstinate Levant standing in front of him. “Stephen is truly a
bastard in bringing you up to become a loser. He has taught you nothing but to be lovesick for his
daughter. That lady is Evan’s old flame, and she even has four children! I really don’t get it, Levant.
Why would you take a fancy on her? She is totally unworthy of your love!”
Levant looked sullen as he remained silent.
“Don’t tell me that you’re still hoping to use this lady to secure the title of Duke! Don’t be silly! What is
so great about being the duke? You can become the Dark Lord if you want – no one can boss you
around. Isn’t this much better than becoming the duke?”
Levant raised his head and talked back to him, “I am not using her anymore! She is the one and only
woman that I have feelings for.”
Murphy regarded Levant with disbelief. “You actually l-l-like her? You are my son! You can have
feelings for any other woman in the world, but not Stephen Musgrave’s daughter!”
“No one can have a say in this matter. I am the one who knows best and who I truly love.” Levant
wouldn’t budge in the face of his father’s anger.
Although he had forgotten everything since the day Stephen took his memories away, the woman’s
face and her smiles were still deeply rooted in his mind.
Later, he remembered everything after taking the pill from Murphy and received acupuncture treatment.
He recalled her name — Nicole, the lady whose face he had never forgotten, even when he had lost
his memories.
It made Levant realize just how much he actually loved her.
To him, Nicole was more important than anything else. He was willing to give up everything as long as
he could be with her.
