Mr. Seet, aren’t you worried about your wife getting angry after learning that you’d put on a disguise
and lied to her? She’d be even more upset and is less likely to forgive you then. Besides, Murphy
would also be furious if he finds out that you’re a fake. He’d have all our heads for it. After all, we’re in
K Nation, and this is their territory.
John suddenly thought that Murphy’s sudden illness happened at the perfect time.
By the time they reached the hospital, Murphy was already in the operating theatre. It was a sudden
cerebral hemorrhage, and the situation was dire.
The surgery went on for two hours before Murphy was stabilized, but even then, he was unconscious
and needed to be hospitalized. Not to mention he also had to be monitored constantly.
Evan stayed in the hospital for three whole hours before he left in the afternoon.
John thought that Evan would take that opportunity to get rid of Murphy once and for all, but the latter
didn’t. Instead, Evan asked the nurse and the doctor to take good care of Murphy.
When they were alone, John asked, “Mr. Seet, why didn’t you kill Murphy and end everything then and
there? After all, he is the reason our business in K Nation failed.”
Evan replied, “It’s true that he is a vile man, but he is also sick. I will never go after a dying man.”
John was speechless, but a smile soon crept upon his face. Looks like Mr. Seet, who was known for
being merciless, still has his own principles.
I guess our current situation is pretty good, considering everything. We’ve captured Levant and Murphy
is hospitalized. Mr. Seet will be able to reconnect peacefully with his wife while assuming Levant’s
identity.
Except… Will Mrs. Seet figure everything out? And what will she do once she discovered the truth?
Evan went to visit Nicole as soon as they reached the Wicked Palace. The latter asked about Murphy’s
health.
When she learned that Murphy was stabilized, she asked, “Levant, since the wedding is postponed
again, will you allow me to visit my Dad in the meantime?”
“Your Dad has already gone back to the estate safely. Just say the word when you feel like heading
over, and I’ll take you.”
Nicole was at a loss for words.
Why would Levant let my Dad return to the estate?
Surprised, she turned to him and felt like there was something different in Levant’s gaze. Regardless,
it’s good to know that my Dad has returned to the estate and is no longer imprisoned.
She felt as if a weight had been lifted off her chest.
“Thank you.”
Noticing how Nicole’s eyes were watery and how she was on the verge of crying, Evan reached out
and was about to wipe her tears away for her, but Nicole subconsciously backed away.
Evan was slightly surprised. He then realized that, as far as Nicole was concerned, the man standing in
front of her was Levant. Nicole backing away from me meant that she is distancing herself from Levant!
Although his hand was still hanging awkwardly in the air, his heart was brimming with glee.
“Nicole, do you hate me?” asked “Levant” before he deliberately reached over once more to caress her
beautiful face.
Nicole backed away again. Irritation bubbled up to her stunning face as she complained, “Stop it,
Levant!”
Evan was even more delighted to see her reaction. A smile crept onto his face.
Nicole glared at the man discreetly. She couldn’t make heads or tails of what that smile was about.
Is Levant deliberately messing with me? I thought that only assh*les like Evan will act that shamelessly.
It never occurred to me that Levant behaves this way too.
Thinking about Evan made her temper sparked. In her frustration, she chased Levant away by saying,
“I’m a little tired and I’m going to rest now. Why don’t you go ahead and get busy with your work?”
“Okay, rest well then. I’ll drop by to visit you later.”
In response, Nicole simply nodded, and Evan turned around to leave.
John, Damien, and Jensen were eavesdropping from behind the windows the entire time. They started
gossiping about how Evan was rejected as Levant.
Confused, Jensen asked, “Mrs. Seet is so repulsed by Levant that she won’t even let him touch her
face. Why is she still marrying the guy?”
“I have no idea. Why don’t you go and ask her?”
“Pfft! No way. Mr. Seet will skin me alive if I expose his identity to her.”
Just then, Evan walked out of the room and caught the three men gossiping. He frowned.
“What are you guys talking about?”
