Chapter 784


    “What else could it be?”


    Nicole gave it a thought and decided to bring up her father’s disappearance in front of Levant.


    “I’ve heard that my father has gone missing after he’d made a trip over to Wicked Pce. May I know


    what’s going on?”


    Levant giggled and queried in return, “Nicole! I’m afraid that the information that you’ve received isn’t


    complete! My father had asked your father over for a few sses of drinks, but your father had long


    made his way back after that. He’s no longer in Wicked Pce. Why? Has he not made his way home


    yet?”


    “Levant, are you sure that my father has left Wicked Pce? Why am I unable to reach him?”


    Levant picked up the ss of wine that had been served and gulped it down within a few seconds. He


    ignored her question and directed another question at her. “Nicole, are you asking me for a favor to


    search for your father?”


    Nicole was speechless at his words.


    Stop with your acting! I’m pretty sure that my father is somewhere in Wicked Pce! It’s not a request


    because it’s a demand! I want you to send my father back immediately!


    Nicole had her eyes glued to the man in front of her, casting a stern gaze at Levant.


    Simrly, Levant was aware of the things that she would possibly have in mind.


    Nevertheless, he couldn’t be bothered by it at all. Instead, he stated, “Nicole, I’ll be sure to help you!


    However, I think that we should keep this between us to ensure your father’s safety. Evan can’t be of


    much help since he has limited influence in K Nation. I’m afraid that something bad may happen to your


    father. Do you see where I’ming from?”


    What the heck? Is he threatening me with my father’s safety to keep Evan in the dark? Is he going to put


    my father’s safety at stake if I defy his words?


    Coincidentally, she had no intention to get Evan involved because he had a lot of things on his te as


    well. She didn’t want to cause him any more trouble.


    As she made her way over to the restaurant, she had made up her mind. Levant could have possibly


    abducted her father for the reason that he had wanted to have a meal with her. Thus, she could be sure


    that he wouldn’t hurt him since her father had brought him up and had educated him, back in the day.


    “Levant, although he’s my father, he has brought you up and he’s taken care of you over the past two


    decades. I hope that you won’t go overboard.”


    Smirking, Levant served Nicole a ss of wine as he assured her, “Of course, Nicole! As long as we’re


    on good terms, I’m sure that he’ll be fine!”


    As long as we’re on good terms? Hell no! I don’t even consider us friends! Since Dad has been taken


    into custody by him, I don’t think that I should offend him. Rather, I’ll y along with him for the time


    being and think of a way to save Dad.


    “Nicole, why don’t you give it a try? I have ordered your favorite dishes!”


    The waiter served the dishes that he had ordered, but Nicole wasn’t in the mood to savor them. She


    savored a serving of steak and noticed that it had tasted different. It wasn’t as delicious as the ones that


    she had whenever she dined with Evan.


    “What about this, Nicole?”


    Levant served her all sorts of dishes enthusiastically. Nicole moved her tes away from him and told


    him, “I’ll help myself to the dishes that I enjoy eating.”


    “O-Okay…”


    Levant gave in to her request and allowed her to have it her way.

    She could barely enjoy the delicacies that had been served. It felt as though she had been savoring


    dishes of stale food.


    On the other hand, Evan, who had arrived home, noticed that Nicole was nowhere to be seen while their


    children were engaged in different things. He asked, “Have you guys had your meals yet? Where’s


    Mommy?”


    Juan, the busybody, uttered, “Yes, Daddy! Mommy has told us that she would be homete because she


    would be caught up by something!”


    Instantly, Evan nced at his watch. It was almost nine o’clock in the night. He couldn’t fathom the things


    that could keep her in the office until such an odd hour.


    Therefore, he reached for his phone and called Nicole.


    “Where are you?”


    “I had a meal with a friend of mine. Currently, I’m on my way home. I’m merely a short distance away


    from home.”


    “You should hang up and drive safe.”


    “Okay.”


    After hanging up the call, Nicole checked on the time. Since Evan had just called her, she was pretty


    sure that he had reached home merely a few minutes ago.


    Judging by the extended period of time that Evan had spent in his office to have sorted things out, Nicole


    thought that he must have been caught up in a nasty situation.


    All of a sudden, she recalled that John had told her that the projects in K Nation had encountered all


    sorts of issues and were brought to a halt.


    Why? What’s wrong with the projects in K Nation? Could it be Levant again? Is he the one behind the


    nasty situations that Seet Group has encountered?


    She turned the idea in her mind, praying she had misperceived things.


    As soon as she reached Imperial Garden, she parked the car and sprinted over to the living room.


    “Which friend of yours have you dined with? Where did you head over to have your meal at?” Evan


    asked the moment she showed up in the living room.
