Do you think that my resolve will waver? Never!
When the rest saw Evan despondently leave with an expression of utter defeat, John turned around to look at Damien and Jensen.
“You finally understand why Mr. Seet stopped us from following, right?”
Both of them frowned. “Why?”
“You saw how he looked like just now. He must’ve been chased out by Mrs. Seet. If we witnessed it, won’t he feel really embarrassed and humiliated?”
Jensen exclaimed, “Indeed, you understand Mr. Seet well, Mr. Lindt. What should we do now?”
Damien chimed in, “Yeah. Do you want to meet Mrs. Seet and speak in Mr. Seet’s favor?”
John gave it a thought and said, “I don’t need to speak in favor of Mr. Seet. Mrs. Seet is harsh with her words, but in reality, she’s a softie at heart. I just need to tell her the facts, and her attitude towards Mr. Seet will certainly improve.”
“If that’s so, you should go now.”
“Yeah, go on. We’ll be on the look-out for you.”
John glanced around. After seeking out the perfect opportunity, he briskly rushed to Nicole’s room and knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Who’s there?” asked Nicole warily.
“Mrs. Seet, it’s me, John.”
John came right after Evan left. Is he here to speak on Evan’s behalf?
“Leave. I don’t want to see you.”
“Don’t do this, Mrs. Seet. I don’t stand with Mr. Seet, and I did not come here because of him either. Instead, it’s about your four kids.”
After deliberating for a while, Nicole opened the door.
“What happened to the four of them? Come in and speak.”
“Okay.”
John entered the room and closed the door behind him. Gazing at Nicole, he forced out a dry smile.
“Mrs. Seet, are you doing well?”
“John, you can call me Ms. Musgrave or Nicole. However, don’t ever call me Mrs. Seet again!” emphasized Nicole solemnly.
John fell silent for a while. “Okay, then. Can I sit down and chat with you?”
