Chapter 599


    “Mom, I don’t want to beat around the bush. Daphne schemed against the kids so they got even with


    her. I know she did those things on yourmand, so you can stop pretending. I just want to know why


    you’re doing this? Why can’t you ept the woman I love?”


    Looking at Levant, Portia grabbed a ss beside her and smashed it on the floor.


    “You’re asking me why? Because you brought a vixen back! Not only did she make you fall head over


    heels for her, but she also tried to seduce your dad as well. She’s a greedy and materialistic gold


    digger, and she must be coveting my duchess title. Tell me, how can I allow such a woman to stay at


    the estate?”


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    She’s trying to seduce Dad and be the duchess? I don’t believe a word you just said, though I


    wish she were a vixen. If Nicole’s a gold digger, she would’ve approached me herself without me even


    trying. If she is after the title, she would’ve given up on everything just to be with me. It’s too bad that


    she isn’t that type of person. She doesn’t fall for anyone easily, but if she does, she’ll love the man


    deeply with all her heart. That’s why she still can’t get over Evan up until now.


    Levant was still under the impression that Evan had died during the ne crash——an “ident” he


    had skillfully orchestrated.


    “She’s not the kind of woman you’re talking about, Mom.”


    “Is she not? Will you believe it only when she marries your dad?”


    Her assumption sounded entirely absurd to Levant. She’s being senseless and unreasonable, kicking


    up a big fuss when there’s nothing at all.


    “Don’t worry, Nicole will never marry Dad. They… They’re rted. You can be on your guard against all


    the women in the world, but you don’t need to do that with Nicole.”


    With that, Levant turned around and stomped away.


    Sour-faced, Portia pondered over Levant’s words.


    Did he just say that they’re rted? But how so?


    She just couldn’t wrap her head around their rtionship.


    The only thing she knew was that she found Nicole distasteful the first time they met; she just didn’t


    know why. It’s best to get rid of a hazard like her as soon as possible.


    Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from the man whom she had sent to look for Nicole’s


    whereabouts. She picked it up without hesitation.


    “Ma’am, Nicole and her kids are at The Gwen Hotel. Do you want me to do it now?”


    Recalling her husband’s and son’s protectiveness over Nicole, Portia’s gaze turned deadly and


    menacing. It’s all because of her that the two most important people in my life are mistreating me.


    “Do it as soon as possible.”


    “Sure, Ma’am.” The call ended.


    At the same time, Nicole and Evan were checking out of the hotel with the four kids.


    Nicole held hands with Maya and Nina while Evan walked beside the two boys with John trailing behind


    them. The four kids chattered and giggled along the way.


    Maya suggested buying some local delicacies before leaving the ce on the pretext of giving them to


    their rtives.


    Nicole stroked Maya’s head and praised her, “You’re such a sweetie.”


    “Look, Mommy! I see a lot of delicious foods there. Let’s check them out.”


    “Okay!”


    Kyle wanted to get a few fun toys as souvenirs while Juan was already imagining how cool it would be


    to show off these strange yet interesting toys in front of his ssmates.


    “Sure. I’ll bring you to buy some toys,” replied Evan to the boys.


    John volunteered to bring Nina to buy cosmetics and makeup tools. The girl nodded in agreement. Yes,


    that would save us a lot of time. Uncle Lindt is so thoughtful.


    Hence, the family split into three groups and went their separate ways.


    While Nicole and Maya strolled hand in hand along the food streets in a cheerful mood, someone was


    keeping an eye on their every move in the dark.
