Chapter 296

“Davin Seet! I don’t care. I want the Northern Suburbs development project. If you don’t agree to it, I
won’t let you take the kid home.”

With that said, she looked at Evan and continued, “I’m not satisfied with this apology. Meet with me
only when he manages to locate his sincerity somewhere in his soul!”

Having said that, she stormed back into the house.

“Hey! Sheep, where are your manners? Did you just walk away? Aren’t you supposed to invite us in for
a drink?”

Neither Kyle nor Juan knew about the incident with the name, so they went to ask Davin about it.

Juan queried, “Uncle Davin, why did you call her Sheep?”

At that question, Davin could not help but laugh. He pulled Juan closer and replied, “Let me tell you a
story…”

With a smirk, Davin said, “Once upon a time, Davin and Sheila went to the same kindergarten. One
day, the teacher said she would reward star stickers to those who finished their works quickly. To get
her star stickers, Sheila missed out on a stroke in her family name and drew a sheep in place of her
given name. When the teacher gave them back their works, she was confounded by the name. She
asked, ‘Who is Sheep?’ And that was how Sheep became Sheila’s name.”

When he was done with his story, he gazed at Kyle and Juan in a serious manner. “So the moral of the
story is, don’t ever misspell your name or use short forms in place of your full name. Got it?”

Kyle nodded solemnly.



On the other hand, Juan sighed. “Ms. Sheila was dumb. She should’ve drawn a shell instead. Shells
are much cooler.”

Davin was speechless.

Realizing that Juan made a good point, he stored Juan’s words away in his mind, planning to ask
Sheila about it once the opportunity came.

Beside them, Evan said, “But why did I hear that it was your idea for Sheila to write her name in that
way? I remember that both of you were desk mates, and the two of you even fought after school
because of it.”

“Rumors. Evan, what you’ve heard is a rumor. Sheila only said that to avoid embarrassing herself.
She’s slandering my reputation! Look at me. I’m the embodiment of honesty and politeness. I’m a
gentleman. Do I look like someone who would do those things?”

The look Evan gave him was as though he was looking at an alien. Finally, he replied in a thoughtful
tone, “Yes.”

“Daddy’s right,” Kyle agreed.

Juan sighed. “Uncle Davin, did you urge Ms. Sheila to get the star so that you can steal it from her?
You’re cruel!”

“Lies! Juan, if you keep making up lies about Uncle Davin, we can’t be friends anymore.”

Juan stuck out his tongue cheekily.

“All right. Davin, give the Northern Suburbs development project to the Mu Group.”

“Why should I? I object!”



Evan fell silent. He had been worried that Maya would be met with something horrible, like getting
abused or hurt.

He was afraid that she would have a traumatized childhood that would affect her future.

If that happened, he would be guilty for life.

It was because of Sheila that his worries did not come true. Therefore, he was willing to repay her good
deed with the Northern Suburbs development project.

“You can pick any other project from the company.”

Davin was stunned. He had not expected Evan to give her the project for Maya’s sake.

Furthermore, he doesn’t even know that Maya’s his daughter. If he finds out, he’ll definitely spoil her
rotten.

At that, John quickly tried to convince Davin to agree to it.

The gears in Davin’s head turned. He knew his injury restricted his movement, and he feared it would
delay the project. Therefore, he agreed to exchange the Northern Suburbs project for a different one.

Evan agreed readily.

The next thing he did was send someone to bring the documents for the project over. He then handed it
to Sheila personally.

When Sheila received the contract, she was thrilled.
