On the other side.
Sheila was dumbfounded and didn’t know what to say when she saw how angry Nicole was.
Just a second ago, Sheila tried to talk to Nicole and make the latter change her opinion of Evan.
Unfortunately for her, Nicole’s fury was triggered the moment Sheila said anything good about Evan.
Nicole ended up complaining about Evan for a good thirty minutes.
“You don’t know this, but Evan Seet is nothing but an assh*le and a fox in sheep’s clothing! His office
drawer had a bottle of folded stars that he personally folded just for Susan. That gesture alone shows
just how much he loves Susan,” protested Nicole before she added in a pitiful tone, “I don’t think he’s
ever been that nice to me before.”
“He even wrote a message on those stars and invited Susan to go stargazing. After that, he actually
went with her! He’s all lovey-dovey Susan, but with me… How could he do that to me? He actually let
the others send me to prison, and….”
Sheila could see just how upset and angry Nicole was. The former thought that if a blade was within
sight, and if Evan happened to be in the room… There’s a good chance that Nicole would actually grab
the knife and drive it into Evan’s heart.
After sharing everything, Nicole said, “And there you have it. How can I be with a man like that? I can’t
stay with him even if it’s for my children’s sake. Not only did he tried to kill me, but he also bullied me,
and sent me to prison!”
Sheila knew the truth behind Evan sending Nicole to prison and was aware of the misunderstanding
that had arisen from the prison incident.
However, Sheila had never heard about the date between Evan and Susan.
Nicole spoke so confidently and even pointed out that everything was placed in Mr. Seet’s office
drawer. There has to be some truth to it.
Nicole’s reaction and tone showed that the incident truly upset her, and Sheila felt the need to learn the
truth about it.
If Mr. Seet is actually that much of an assh*le and is playing with both women’s hearts… Well, then I’ll
stop voicing up for him. I might even turn around and convince Nicole to be with the real Levant.
When Sheila returned, she told Davin everything.
Sheila complained angrily, “Your brother really crossed the line this time. He acted like he felt nothing
for Susan at all, but he was actually secretly doing all that!”
Davin analyzed silently before saying, “But why do I feel like this isn’t Evan’s style?”
“Maybe he’s good at putting on an act. Men are all the same.”
At that, Sheila glared at Davin who sat up and insisted, “No, something is off. I can feel it. I’ll ask my
brother about it.”
The moment Evan heard about it, he was beyond surprised.
He never expected that Nicole had discovered the folded stars that he locked in his drawer.
“Is it true, Evan? Did you fold the stars for Susan?” asked Davin curiously as he stared at his brother.
Evan nodded and confessed, “Yes.”
Davin gaped in shock.
“Oh c’mon, Evan. How could you do that? I thought you didn’t like Susan. Why did you…?”
Evan narrowed his eyes. Looks like Nicole had misunderstood me even before my grandpa’s death
and her incarceration.
But how did Nicole discover the bottle of folded stars I kept in my office drawer in the first place? And
last I checked, nothing is written on those stars. Wait a minute, Susan was the one who gave me that
bottle… Could it be…
“Nicole hates you to the core because of this, Evan. How do you plan on explaining everything to her?”
Evan didn’t respond to that. All he did was instruct Davin to have his men send the bottle over.
Davin didn’t say anything either. He simply walked out of there.
Evan looked up and saw how the sunlight painted the wall orange. He suddenly recalled the fire
accident and how Susan went all out to rescue him…
He thought everything through, and certain things simply didn’t add up. Back then, he brushed
everything off as a coincidence but thinking back, it was more likely that everything was planned.
Evan whipped out his phone and made a call.
Looks like there are a lot of things that I need to investigate.
