Chapter 532


    However, what Nicole said was not unreasonable in any way.


    Evan reckoned that it would be necessary to find a bodyguard for Nicole in the future. Someone who


    could follow her around and see to her safety when he could not.


    Back to the situation at hand, the pair began to go through the events that Sylphiette described.


    “Sylphiette wasn’t aplete bust. There was something she said that was somewhat useful—Your


    mother was pregnant when she married Zane. And Zane married her to get your grandfather’s help. It


    was a marriage of convenience, essentially.”


    “You’re right,” said Nicole thoughtfully. “My mother may not have married him willingly. Earlier,


    Sylphiette said that my mother pined for my biological father but had no feelings for Zane. Rather, she


    felt sorry for him. I think that’s why she decided to take all the me when Zane hit your grandmother.”

    “Your mother had no feelings for Zane, and I think Zane felt the same way about your mother,” said


    Evan. “Otherwise, why would he have a child with Sylvia?”


    Nicole smiled bitterly. “Don’t you find it ironic that two people with different purposes entered into the


    same loveless marriage with each other, only for my mother to end up that way? Yet the other party


    was unscathed!”


    She sighed and continued. “Why did that happen to my mother? Since my biological father knocked her


    up, why didn’t he marry her? I also wonder why she kept his existence a secret from me even until her


    death and never said a word about him to me.”


    Nicole picked up the coffee cup and toyed around with it before setting it down hard.


    These questions weighed heavily on her, but she really wanted to know what kind of ill-begotten man


    her biological father was. She wanted to know why he abandoned a pregnant woman and left her in a


    state of desperation where she had to marry someone like Zane.


    “Well, I think Sylphiette only knows this much. The rest will be uncovered in due time, with enough


    effort.”


    They sat there in silence for a while. Nicole turned to Evan and said, “Mr. Seet, I have a request.”


    “What is it?”


    “I want to go to K Nation with Levant and get to the bottom of this. I want to know who that b*stard of a


    man is, find him, and make him apologize in front of my mother’s grave. She deserves nothing short of


    a full apology.”


    Yoda did not respond. He wasn’t even expecting her to make such a rash decision.


    But to let her go to K nation with someone like Levant, whose motives were unclear… it was hard for


    him to not be concerned.


    He studied Nicole’s expression and realized that she had already made her mind up.


    After some thought, Evan replied, “I’ming with you.”


    Nicole stared at him, a little rmed at the suggestion. “But your parents need you. And thepany


    —”


    “And you don’t?” Evan interrupted her with a frown.


    “I—” Nicole did need him.


    However, she was concerned about how long the trip would take. There was no telling when they could


    return.


    If Evan came out of hiding, it would fix so many problems. For one, Jonathan and Sophia would be


    thrilled to know that their son was alive this whole time. Even the Seet Group’s crisis would also be


    sorted out.


    If Evan left with her, then he would then have toy low for much longer.


    Didn’t he care about his parents or thepany he worked so hard to build?


    Evan seemed to understand what she was worried about. He looked at her solemnly and said, “We


    don’t know why Levant wants to kill me yet. If word spreads that I’m still alive, then he won’t stop until


    I’m dead for sure. For now, it’s better to let him think I’m truly dead. If Ie with you, we might get


    answers to both our questions.”


    Nicole pondered over this for a moment and realized that Evan’s suggestion made sense. “But what


    about the kids?”


    “Don’t worry, my mother will take good care of them.”


    Nicole agreed with what he said, for Sophia was really kind to the children.


    Since there were no other options, she’d sit the children down at the next opportunity to discuss this


    with them.


    All that was left was to find out when Levant nned to return to K Nation.


    That night, Nicole made ns to call Levant. She showered and locked her bedroom door before


    making that dreaded call.


    Levant picked up shortly after. “Nicole? I didn’t expect you to reach out. Not since the incident at the


    Amazon Hotel…” he trailed off, unsure of what to say next.


    “What incident at the hotel?” asked Nicole, feigning ignorance.
