Chapter 493
The more he thought about it, the more he was sure that the waiter had indeed added something to his
drink. He red angrily at thetter and etched his face into this mind so that he could take his revenge
later on.
Seeing the man’s anger, Yoda couldn’t help but grin. Didn’t you say your wine can leave asting
impression? Well, I hope the drug that will cause a lot of pain will give you just that.
After Maya had her fill, Nicole made up an excuse to leave. As soon as she was out, Levant
immediately ordered his guards to look for the waiter that had just served him. Yet, no matter how hard
they searched, the waiter was nowhere to be seen.
Yoda had been prepared for such actions taken. He had gone to the bathroom to remove his disguise
before the dinner ended. Now, he walked out the bar through the main door as the guard who had
come to the restaurant with his employer.
When they returned to Imperial Garden, a sense of worry hit Nicole. She could not understand the
reason behind a person like Levant taking an interest in her. Could he have some ulterior motive?
There’s no way he’s actually interested in me.
“But what could he want?” Nicole mumbled to herself. She lowered her head to check herself out,
noting to herself that even though she wasn’t ugly, she also wasn’t the type that would attract the
attention of several men.
Plus, she already had four children. From a man’s perspective, a single mother like her would never be
their first choice as a wife. Even if she were to go after Levant, she would only be seen and treated as
a maniac.
The more Nicole thought about it, the more questions appeared in her mind. In the end, she came to a
conclusion to stay away from Levant as far as possible.
Levant suffered the whole night in his mansion because of the drug Yoda had slipped in. The tingling
effect still lingered on his tongue as he cursed angrily and tore his paper fan apart.
Initially, he had nned to make out with Nicole after getting her tipsy, but her children hade out of
nowhere and ruined his n. In addition to that, his drink was spiked, and the person who had done
such a thing to him was nowhere to be found. All these events only served to infuriate him further.
Could it be… that the Manson family is trying to stall me? Looks like time isn’t on my side. I have to get
Nicole by my side as soon as possible.
He steeled his mind and called Nicole to invite her to Levant Winery. He was sure that she would
ept his invitation at all cost after he had disclosed his information to her during the dinner they had.
Yet, the call ended with him feeling surprised when she turned him down saying she was busy with
work.
He paced back and forth, trying to find an exnation to her attitude. His conclusion was that she was
trying to act distant so that he would fall further for her.
Interesting! This is much more exciting than those who didn’t even try to hide it!
He quickly summoned his driver. “Take me to Lane Corporation!”
“Yes, Sir!”
At Lane Corporation, Nicole let out a sigh as she went through the report. Herpany was struggling
because all thepanies that cooperated with her because of Evan backed out after hearing herte
husband’s demise.
What a cold world we live in… Sigh… I have to find a way to get out of this mess. But, who can I turn to
now?
Just as Nicole was thinking of a solution, her assistant came in. “Ms. Lane, there’s someone here to
see you.”
“Tell that person to make an appointment first!” she ordered.
“There are no appointments scheduled for you today, so he’s technically the first to make one, Ms.
Lane.”
Seeing that it was her first appointment for the day, she asked her assistant to let the person in without
asking his or her identity.

When she saw who had stepped into her office, she finally understood the true meaning of
stubbornness. The person who had shown up was none other than Levant.
“Why are you here?”
“What? You’re not happy to see me?”
