Chapter 13 It Really Is You

  • After leaving the Seet family villa, Nicole dropped by a dessert store and grabbed some yogurt and chocolate cake before heading back to Parkland Garden.
  • The children were relieved to see their mother return safely.
  • “Did you get recognized, Mommy?”
  • “Nope!”
  • “I told you I have awesome makeup skills. I’m so good at it that there’s no way you’d be found out.”
  • Nina looked up proudly.
  • Nicole stroked the girl’s head and gave her a thumbs up. “You’re the best, Nina!”
  • “Are those for me, Mommy?” Maya stared at the box of desserts in Nicole’s hand, her eyes twinkling with excitement.
  • “That’s right. They’re your favorite, Maya.”
  • “Thanks, Mommy!”
  • Maya happily took the box, placed it on the table, and opened it up.
  • “All you do is eat!”
  • “Yeah, well, that’s cause I love eating!” Maya rolled her eyes at Nina. “All you do is play with makeup every day.”
  • “T-that’s cause I love being pretty! And I’ll always be, but as for you, you’re going to end up looking like a pig!”
  • “You...”
  • “Alright, Nina! Come here and help Mommy to remove makeup.”
  • Seeing the two little girls starting to bicker, Nicole hurriedly dragged the furious Nina into the bathroom.
  • Juan frowned and sighed. They always said three was a crowd, but at their home, having just two of those girls around was more than enough trouble.
  • Sigh...
  • ...
  • Meanwhile, at Hillside Villa.
  • Evan’s gaze darkened as he stared at the location shown on the phone.
  • “This is the exact location of the hacker who ruined the company’s system, Mr. Seet. 108, Block 4, Parkland Garden.”
  • Just as John’s words fell, the bodyguard who had been following Nicole walked in.
  • “The one you told us to follow entered Parkland Garden, Mr. Seet - to be precise, it’s Unit 108, Block 4.”
  • The exact same address?
  • Evan’s face instantly turned gloomy as he clenched his fists.
  • The hacker, who destroyed the company’s system, and this “Dr. Tussaud”...
  • Evan emitted such a frosty aura that the room instantly turned cold.
  • On the other hand, John and the bodyguard exchanged glances. Knowing that Evan was on the verge of exploding, they instinctively held their breaths, fearing that their boss was about to take his anger out on them.
  • Then, Evan stood up all of a sudden. “Head on to Parkland Garden now!”
  • “Yes, Sir!”
  • The two quickly followed.
  • Twenty minutes later, a black Maybach sped into Parkland Garden.
  • With a loud screech, the car stopped right in front of a certain block.
  • Following that, a tall and cold-looking Evan got out of the vehicle.
  • He strode toward the mentioned location. Every step he took could make someone tense up in fear.
  • At the same time, John and the bodyguards followed their boss closely behind. They were well aware that whoever lived here was about to be in huge trouble.
  • Soon after that, they arrived in front of Unit 108, Block 4.
  • Evan glanced at John, causing the latter to bang on the door immediately.
  • Bang! Bang! Bang!
  • The urgent knock from the other side of the door gave Nicole a shock, making her nervous.
  • “Who is it?”
  • However, no one answered her, and instead, the loud banging continued.
  • My God. Why does it feel like there’s a loan shark at my door?
  • I just got back a few days ago, and I don’t owe anyone money.
  • Clearly displeased with the sudden disturbance, Nicole violently opened the door and couldn’t help but grumble, “What the hell? Are you a...”
  • She immediately caught sight of Evan’s cold, menacing face.
  • Nicole’s mind went black, as though she had just been struck by lightning.
  • “So it really is you, woman!”
