“That’s right. Evan Seet is dead so you should abandon that sinking ship.”
Nicole frowned and commented, “They are scolding John. Wait, didn’t you scar Lisa’s face? Why would a proud woman like her show up and bark so loudly when she has an ugly scar on her face?”
Yoda was taken aback as well.
“Let’s head in and see what’s going on. John can’t handle them for long.”
Nicole nodded before reaching out to open the door to the president’s office.
Bam! Both Lisa and Adam were surprised by the door flinging open.
Their faces shone with distaste when they saw that the person standing by the door was Nicole. They immediately had their guard up.
Nicole examined Lisa’s face. Holy f*ck! They definitely hired an expert to perform plastic surgery on her! D*mn, that expert managed to fix her face after Evan disfigured it to that extent? I’m impressed by the expert’s skill!
“What are you doing here, Nicole?”
Adam’s hostile voice made Nicole come back to reality.
“I don’t need to report to you when or why I am here,” said Nicole before she strode to the desk and placed her bag on the side. She acted naturally as if she was walking into her own office.
No one spoke.
Adam choked on that. He heard about how Nicole went to K Nation with Levant and how the kids also followed her. Back then, Adam thought that it was good news because it’d mean that there was less competition for the Seet family’s wealth. He never dreamed that Nicole would be back.
Did she come back to get her hands on the Seet Group?
Lisa wasn’t going to sit around idly and endure it all. She assessed Nicole from head to toe and dissed, “This is the Seet family’s company. You’ve already abandoned everything and eloped with your lover. How could you walk back in here so shamelessly?”
“What makes you think that I left with my lover?” interrogated Nicole as she glared at Lisa.
“Everyone knows about how you eloped with the owner of Levant Winery. What’s wrong? Did the guy dump you? Is that why you have shamelessly returned, to try to take advantage of the Seet Group?”
What the hell? I left with Levant to find my biological father. How did that turn into me eloping with Levant?
“You don’t believe me? Fine, I’ll show you what I can do. Just you wait!”
Adam looked confident as he took his phone out of his pocket to make a call.
After hanging up, Adam smirked at John and said, “Just you wait. Davin is on his way back to fire you right now!”
Nicole frowned. She had called Davin on the way over but he said he was busy.
Adam just called Davin; will Davin really make it here?
Yoda was curious about that as well.
However, the person that Adam called just now did not sound like Davin. It was likely that Adam had called someone else.
That sounded like a woman’s voice. Could that be the escort?
Yoda and Nicole turned to one another. They simultaneously thought that Adam might be the one who got the escort to hang out with Davin.
