Chapter 408


    “Who are you to specte, Aunt Lisa?”


    “Exactly. No one saw the letter, other than Grandpa. It could be something else!” She stood up for


    Nicole as well.


    Lisa crossed her arms and snorted. “Even if it’s something else, it must be something outrageous, seeing


    that it has angered the old man as such.”


    “Everyone shut up! I’ll make that person pay if I hear another word!” Evan dered, a chill wafting across


    his body.


    Knowing how merciless Evan could be, the Seets kept silent and dismissed themselves tactfully.


    The children stood by their mother’s side. Although they didn’t know what was going on, the unpleasant


    expression on her face was palpable.


    Their faces were taut with concern, but they didn’t know how to share her worries.


    “Evan, I want to see Grandpa and ask what’s going on.”


    Evan nodded. He wanted to know what was written in the letter as well.


    He told Davin and She to send the kids home before heading upstairs to Russell’s study with Nicole.


    Jonathan and Sophia followed anxiously behind.


    “Mr. Evan, I’m afraid that Mr. Russell doesn’t want to see anyone right now.” Derrick stopped them from


    taking a step further.


    “I want to see him. I need to make things clear…”


    “Ms. Lane, you’re thest person that Mr. Russell wants to see. I suggest that you send her home first,


    Mr. Evan.”


    “What exactly is going on, Derrick?” Evan asked as he regarded Derrick with confusion. He must have


    known something if Grandpa told him to keep the letter.


    Derrick sighed, looking troubled. After a long while, he uttered softly, “It’s a grudge passed on from the


    previous generation.”


    Having said that, he nced at Nicole before bowing to Evan as he headed back to the study.


    A grudge from the previous generation?


    Evan looked at Nicole, who was just as surprised as he was.


    Does that mean that it’s rted to Nicole’s father? What kind of grudge could it be for Grandpa to have


    reacted so dramatically?


    “Let’s go home first,” Evan suggested.


    Nicole nodded in silence.


    Knowing that it wasn’t some indecent photo, but a grudge passed on from the previous generation,


    Sophia was relieved that Russell’s anger had no direct rtionship with Nicole.


    “Cheer up. I’ll try to talk to the old man,” sheforted.


    “Thank you.”


    “Evan, take good care of Nicole.”


    Evan nodded and left with Nicole in his arms.


    “This wouldn’t have happened if we didn’t allow them to be together in the first ce.” Jonathan sighed,


    looking at Sophia.


    “You heard it. It’s something to do with the past. This isn’t Nicole’s fault! You can’t just me her,” Sophia


    uttered incredulously.


    “Who said anything about ming her? I’m ming you. You shouldn’t have agreed to it in the first


    ce!”


    “Hmph! I’ll do what I want!”


    I guess I’ve been too forbearingtely that you don’t know who’s the boss in the family, do you? So


    they’ve said, never spoiled a woman or they’ll climb all over you.


    Jonathan sighed and marched off to his study.


    At the garage, Nicole suggested that they pay Zane a visit, in search of some clues.


    She was dying to know the reason for Russell’s sudden change in attitude.


    Evan was curious as well. He wanted to know what Zane had done to tick his grandfather off. If it were


    just a dispute about business, his grandfather wouldn’t have been so angry.

    Along the way to the Lane family vi, Nicole was feeling very uneasy as Russell’s words echoed in his


    ears.


    “I forbid you to marry this woman!”


    “And never allow her to set foot in the Seet family again!”
