“Five days? Make it seven! Sheila is not a reliable person. Besides, I have my own matters to attend to…” David spoke from the other side of the phone.
“Deal!” Evan accepted the proposal without hesitation and put down the phone.
Davin was frustrated at the challenges of life. The situation was even made worse by his movement restrictions.
Throughout this period of time, he had to endure the unpleasant treatment!
Should I really seek Sheila’s help?
He didn’t think it was appropriate.
As he was contemplating whether to give Sheila a call, his phone rang and the dialer was ironically Sheila herself.
Evan knew him too well. He immediately called Sheila after putting down Davin’s call.
Sheila was looking forward to helping him tomorrow!
“I don’t think you can make it. I’ll think about it first before asking for your help,” Davin tried to reject her offer.
“Don’t need to think too much about it. I’m willing to help. Although I’m not sure what assistance you need, I’m here for you as long as you need my help! Davin, are you touched?” Sheila insisted.
Touched?
No way I’m touched!
Receiving help from Sheila would only aggravate the issue!
“You must be overwhelmed by my kind offer to help! Alright, see you tomorrow.” Sheila assumed after a prolonged silence.
…
Davian shook his head in frustration. He thought of matchmaking Sheila with another man after his leg recovered.
Once she had a new target, then he would be left alone!
Needless to say, she would call off the wedding.
What a perfect plan!
I’m a genius. I’ll execute my brilliant plan once my leg recovers!
The next day…
Nicole headed towards Zane’s residence after sending Nina and Maya to the kindergarten.
She took a deep breath before entering. A mental note was imprinted in her mind that she needed to keep calm at all times and stand her ground.
If she failed, they would take advantage of her.
Her hands approached the door and gave it a loud knock.
The maid opened the door. She was shocked and yelled, “Sir, Ma’am, Ms. Nicole is here!”
Nicole entered the house elegantly, her confidence unshattered.
Zane froze when he saw her. His face was expressionless and his stare was complicated.
Sylvia gazed at her scornfully. Her sheer resentment was undisguised when she mocked, “What a rare guest! I heard that Mr. Seet chased you out of Rose Garden? Seems like you’re not being welcomed anywhere you go, jinx!”
She must have heard this from Sylphiette.
Sylphiette thought she could deceive Evan and continue to impersonate her after she managed to answer his query.
However, Evan was not a gullible person that is susceptible to such elementary tricks.
Karma would hit Sylphiette in the near future.
“I’m here today to discuss the future of Lane Corporation, not to engage in meaningless bickering with you!” she gave Sylphiette a cold stare before shifting her gaze to Zane.
Sylvia could not believe what she heard and thought of it as a big joke.
Nicole was despised and chased out of the Rose Garden. Now the only person who would end up together with Evan was Sylphiette, her daughter!
If Sylphiette manages to persuade Evan, then Lane Corporation will rise from the ashes.
Nicole’s help is not needed.
B****, she must be trying to pick a fight with us!
Sylvia crossed her arms and glanced at Nicole with a deadly stare, “Stop trying to act tough! Don’t you have any shame? You even have the audacity to bring up this matter! Don’t treat us like fools!”
She reminded Zane, “Sir, she doesn’t have any money. The amount she offered is nothing but an empty promise, don’t fall into her trap!”
Sylvia did her homework.
The last time Nicole spoke about Lane Corporation, she was lying and relying on Evan’s reputation to get her way. However, Evan personally promised her this time. It was different.
If she could lie confidently the last time, it wouldn’t be a problem this time!
“It is true that I don’t have money now. It is also true that I have been chased out from Rose Garden. However, Evan promised to help me,” Nicole calmly refuted.
