Chapter 68

Damn it, I knew he wouldn’t let me go so easily. Are we just going to continue arguing?

Nicole smiled. Be my guest. I’m not scared of you anyway.

She pulled herself together, giving Evan her most sincere expression. “You’re too kind, Mr. Seet.
Calling me unscrupulous is definitely the highest compliment anyone has ever given me.”

Complimenting her?

Evan snorted coldly as he looked at Nicole. He definitely underestimated her capacity for being thick-
skinned.

“If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Seet, you’ve once said that if a person does something with a noble goal in
mind, it doesn’t matter what method they use to achieve that goal. So, why should we be so particular
then?”

Evan stared at her. His original saying only applied to good intentions and noble goals ultimately.

This was definitely the biggest joke Evan had ever heard in his entire life. Even after Nicole wove a web
of lies and abandoned her biological child, she still had the audacity to claim that her intentions were
noble.

Where does she find the gut to speak lies so blatantly? She is just unbelievable!

Nicole smiled beatifically when she saw Evan’s gloomy expression. So, he called her an unreasonable
person who shamelessly twisted the facts and hide the truth just to suit her goals.

Internally, under the calm mask she was wearing, Nicole was laughing.



Of course, she needed to give him a practical demonstration of her skills. There was no way she could
be worthy of the compliments he bestowed on her otherwise.

She even shot him a defiantly challenging look. Bring it on, Evan. I’m not scared of you at all.

Inside his heart, Juan was cheering for his mother as she chewed out Evan. He was starting to feel that
he inherited his eloquent way with words from his mother.

On the other hand, Davin just prayed fervently for Nicole when he saw the disgusted expression on his
brother’s face. Evan looked like he was just forced to swallow a fly.

This was the second time that Davin witnessed Nicole mercilessly making sarcastic comments at his
brother’s expense.

As worried as he was for Nicole, Davin still admitted that it was very entertaining to watch.

It seemed that she was already past the incident of being abandoned on the rockery.

Jonathan was watching the entertaining show as well when he suddenly laughed out loud. “Ms.
Tussaud is right, you know. There’s a Buddhist saying that states that even the evilest of methods are
seen as justice in the hands of a righteous man. But in the hands of an evil man, even the most
righteous methods can only be twisted into an evil act. Sometimes, it’s okay to be a little unethical for
the greater good.”

“Well said! You’re truly the wise one here, Mr. Jonathan!” Nicole beamed, shooting a smug look at
Evan.

By now, Evan felt like he was suffocating under the weight of his frustration. Even breathing was
difficult. There’s really nothing to say, especially to a woman like this.



He rose to his feet abruptly and walked out of the room. When he passed Nicole, he paused suddenly,
making her heart skip a beat.

What? Is he actually going to hit me if he can’t win this argument?

However, Evan did not move anything but his lips. His tone was dangerously cold and full of warning.
“Watch yourself, Nicole. Don’t make me show you real ruthlessness.”

His voice was low, but he spoke each of his words with utter seriousness.

Nicole felt a sudden spike of fear in her chest. Evan’s gaze was cold enough to suggest that he wanted
nothing more than to snap her neck on the spot.

The man was too petty. He was prepared to kill her just because he lost one of their little arguments.

“Mr. Seet, you… “

Nicole did not get to finish her sentence because Evan was already leaving the room. When he
reached the door, he abruptly yelled for “Kyle” to leave with him.

Juan turned to look at Davin pleadingly.

Davin responded immediately. “Evan, I promised Kyle to bring him out to play this afternoon!”

“Kyle, are you really going to just stand there?” Evan asked coolly.

Juan froze momentarily. His Daddy really did look awfully angry. If I don’t leave with him, will he be
even angrier?

Seeing that “Kyle” faced a dilemma, Sophia decided enough was enough. “Just let him stay, Evan.
Dave can bring Kyle out to play in the afternoon and send him home tonight.”



Sophia’s words actually worked wonders. Evan did not protest any longer but left a curt reminder to his
son before exiting the room. “Make sure you stay away from liars!”

He was referring to Nicole, of course.

Damn him to hell and back. Nicole was furious. It was so typical of Evan to take a final parting shot at
her before leaving. He wanted her to feel embarrassed. This man was truly turning out to be her
ultimate nemesis.

Jonathan and Sophia were surprised as well when they witnessed the attitude that Evan gave Dr.
Tussaud.

Being a straightforward woman, Sophia just asked bluntly, “Ms. Tussaud, do you and my son have a
grudge with each other?”

A grudge?

What kind of grudge results in four children after spending one night together?

Nicole hesitated for a brief moment before shaking her head. “I don’t think so. Maybe I offended Mr.
Seet when I was treating Kyle. Regardless, it’s all just a misunderstanding and nothing more.”
