Chapter 169


    “Dad, let me get this straight – I have nothing to do with the bankruptcy of Lane Corporation. I know


    you wish to revive the Lane family, but there is nothing I can do. Besides, I severed my ties with the


    Lane family when I was forced to leave. Just finish your dinner and leave. Also, don’t ever look for me


    again.”


    On the other hand, Zane was rather displeased and replied, “Nicole, how can you be so rude? How can


    you ignore the survival of the Lane family after you be rich? You can’t do that!”


    “Why can’t I do that? Did the Lane family treat me like a human being? To be exact, I’m even worse


    than a maid!”


    Nicole was furious whenever she recalled the past in which she was bullied. Indeed, it was like a


    permanent mark in her mind that she could never forget.


    “Nicole, this is not the time to settle old scores. Since Mr. Seet said you have a solution, I’m sure you


    have it! Please, I’m begging you to help me!”


    When Zane was begging her, he looked at her pitifully as if he had been driven into a corner.


    Nicole grabbed the goblet and nced at the room upstairs.


    That jerk deliberately wants to cause me trouble! Since she got increasingly exasperated, she stood up


    and went upstairs right away.


    The next moment, she pushed the door of the study forcefully and red at Evan.


    “What are you trying to do?”


    “It’s simple. Give me custody of Juan, and I will pay you arge amount of money in return, which is


    enough to rebuild Lane Corporation.”


    “Dream on!”


    She felt that it was the funniest joke ever. Even if she agreed to it, she would not spend a penny on


    Lane Corporation.

    “Evan Seet, you’re out of your mind. Do you think you can threaten me with Lane Corporation? You


    know what? I don’t care about it!”


    “I’ll wait and see!” Nheless, Evan didn’t argue with her but only replied with a few words.


    Then, he pointed at the door and said, “Get out and close the door. I don’t want to be affected by any


    noise.”


    Nicole was irritated by what he said.


    He brought Zane here to cause me trouble, yet hopes to stay out of it? Dream on!


    She sneered and swaggered out of the study. Moreover, she deliberately pushed the door open and


    red at him before going downstairs furiously.


    When Zane saw her came downstairs, he immediately came up to her and inquired, “How is it? Did Mr.


    Seet say when he will help rebuild the Lin family?”


    Nevertheless, she merely gave him a cold-eyed stare and answered, “Well, he can help you after he is


    dead.”


    “What?” The next moment, Zane looked grumpy and continued, “Nicole, if you are really that heartless,


    don’t me me for what happens next.”


    Feeling curious, she looked up at him and asked, “What do you want to do?”


    “Just wait and see!” He gnashed his teeth and replied angrily before leaving the vi.


    Nicole eventually recollected herself after he disappeared from sight.


    Well, it looks like there will be more toe.


    She couldn’t help but heave a long sigh. To get custody of Juan, this jerk will really utilize any


    opportunity at all costs.


    In fact, she never expected that he would utilize Zane to threaten her.


    Come to think of it, I’m no different from a fool today. Again and again, I tried to persuade him to let


    go… What a loser!


    Nicole, you’re merely a fool in Evan’s eyes! Instead, you only embarrassed yourself by what you did!


    From now on, never pretend to be weak nor tter him! Instead, work hard to be strong and live with


    dignity!


    Otherwise, he will think that you are merely going after his wealth and fame, even if you are fond of


    him!


    After all, your sincerity isn’t worth a penny!


    After pondering over it, Nicole felt a chill ran down her spine. Slowly, she turned around and went


    upstairs dejectedly.


    When Davin and the kids finally came home, Maya was apparently the happiest among the rest.


    On the other hand, Nina rolled her eyes when she looked at Maya and scolded, “Since you just started


    your n to lose weight this morning, how could you eat so much tonight? Maya, you are really


    spineless!”


    Nheless, Maya pursed her lips and replied, “I wanted to control myself, yet I failed once I saw the


    delicious food.”


    “Alright, Maya. Don’t berate her anymore. Maya isn’t actually fat but chubby.”
