Staying In Imperial Garden
A while later, Juan stood up and walked over to Sally while scrutinizing her.
He was perplexed as to why Kyle brought her back to Imperial Garden.
“Why are you staring at me, Mr. Juan?” Sally questioned Juan awkwardly as she felt uneasy by his
gaze.
“What are you doing here in Imperial Garden?”
“I-I heard that Mrs. Seet is missing. So I came here to see if I can be of any assistance.”
Be of assistance?
Fixing his gaze at her, Juan replied, “Well, since you want to help out, let’s talk. Who knows? You could
be of great help.”
Upon hearing Juan’s words, Sally was startled. Judging by his stance, does he intend to interrogate
me? I never thought that Nicole’s disappearance would cause Kyle and Juan to suspect me. The
members of the Seet family are brilliant indeed!
“You don’t need to rush talking with her. She’ll stay in Imperial Garden until we find Mommy.” Kyle
spoke in a deep voice.
When he heard that, Juan was pretty surprised. Huh? Kyle is saying that Sally will stay in Imperial
Garden for the time being. Does that mean he’s also suspicious of her and wants to monitor her
indirectly? Hmm, it seems like she hasn’t seduced Kyle yet. Anyway, her staying in Imperial Garden is
not a bad idea. Not only can we keep an eye on her every move, but we can also have plenty of
opportunities to interrogate her.
“Um, I’m a little worried that I can’t get used to staying in a place like Imperial Garden. Going back
might be a better option for me.” Immediately after finishing those utterances, Sally looked at Evan. He
was currently focusing on drinking coffee while remaining silent.
Sally was waiting for him to make his position known as she thought the final decision was in his
hands.
Aside from that, she could not comprehend why Evan could still be so tranquil when Nicole was already
missing. Evan and Nicole’s relationship is so strong that nothing can separate them. That is a widely
known fact. Consequently, shouldn’t he demonstrate his feelings at this moment? Why does he look so
calm instead?
Following a momentary silence, Evan placed the cup to the side and looked at Sally. “You’ll get used to
this place after staying for a few days. If you need any aid, feel free to call the maids. As for which room
to stay in, you can pick whichever one you prefer on the third floor.”
Not surprisingly, those words had stunned Sally. Unbelievable! Evan is willing to let me stay! It seems
like Imperial Garden will be my abode for now.
Soon after, Kyle ordered the maids to prepare a room for Sally. As she observed the majestically and
elegantly decorated room, she thought there was a stark difference between the place she rented and
that room she was about to stay.
On that account, she had an overwhelmed expression on her face instantly. “I have never stayed in
such a luxurious room. It does feel a little uncomfortable. Are there rooms specifically for the maids? I
think I’m better off staying in there.”
The second he heard Sally’s words, Juan could not help but sigh under his breath. This woman is such
an excellent actor. Her renting a house outside is nothing but a pretense. From the indistinctively
graceful aura exuding from her, I believe she might’ve stayed in a place that is better than Imperial
Garden before.
“How can a guest stay in a maid’s room? What kind of logic is that? Settle down and treat this place as
your home. I’ll visit you from time to time to talk with you.”
Sure enough, Sally could discern that Juan was hinting at something in his words. Therefore, she knew
she had to be alert and cautious with her answers when he asked her questions in the future.
As soon as she had just sat on the bed to take a rest, someone knocked on the door. It was Maya. She
was calling Sally to have dinner.
“I’m not hungry, Maya. I’ll skip dinner.”
“If you’re not hungry, have some fruits then. Eating fruits during dinner will not make one fat.”
“I don’t feel like eating anything now.”
I can’t let that happen! Kyle has instructed me to bring Sally out of her room no matter what. I’m not
sure what he has in mind, but I have to cooperate.
Upon that thought, Maya approached Sally and began to persuade her while grabbing her hands. “The
chefs have prepared lots of delicious food and fruits exclusively for you due to your stay in Imperial
Garden. They will appreciate it if you eat some of the dishes. Besides, I have no appetite because
there’s still no news about my mother. Accompany me. Okay?”
