Chapter 1848 Something Important
“He is not here!” Nicole said.
“Not here? Where is he then?” Shermaine asked worriedly.
“He is my husband, so why should I tell you about his whereabouts?”
“I’ll find out anyway. Don’t forget that this is my territory!” Shermaine said and turned to leave.
Suddenly, she saw two children playing, which piqued her curiosity. Why would there be children here at Daemonic Mount?
She stopped and scrutinized Zayden, who was running in front. The child was plump and looked very adorable.
Then, he looked at Joy. Joy stopped in her steps to size her up as well. The two of them exchanged glances, and suddenly, Shermaine’s face fell.
It’s… her? Is that her? Is she back?
Joy frowned when she saw Shermaine’s shocked face. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I… I…” Shermaine could feel her heart beating wildly, and she clenched her fists but could not find the words to say.
Her gaze was locked on Joy’s little bright face as if she had met someone from her past.
Then, she said with a pale face, “I’m leaving,” before leaving hastily.
Joy watched her leave and felt that she was really strange.
She could sense fear in Shermaine’s gaze. However, she did not understand why Shermaine would look at her like that.
She had only seen that kind of gaze when she beat up those who bullied her and Zayden in school.
“I can’t keep up with you two now that you are running so fast. You can’t just run everywhere here, you know?” Davin caught up with them and said.
Zayden nodded.
Joy was brought back to reality and nodded.
“Evan!” Suddenly, Shermaine’s bright voice could be heard.
“Oh, speak of the devil! Are you coming with me, or will you be talking to her?” Levant asked.
Levant stood up and patted his shoulder. “Don’t do something that you’ll regret for the rest of your life!”
Shermaine walked up to them and looked at Levant. “I heard that Gale and Elias are hunting for those who know about the treasure. You’d better be careful.”
“If I were to tell them that you told me where the treasure was, they probably won’t kill me that easily out of their respect for you, right?”
Shermaine stared at him coldly before she rolled her eyes and said sneeringly, “Then you better watch out!”
After that, she walked to Evan and looked at him grimly. “Come with me, Evan. I have something important to tell you.”
Evan narrowed his eyes and hesitated slightly before leaving with her.
