Chapter 477

Howie pondered a moment and replied, “I did everything I could to investigate the accident, and I just
want to do my part to inform Mr. Russell about the truth.”

Evan did not believe a single word he said.

“Really? You said you’re Zane’s close friend, and that’s why you helped his daughter. Yet, Zane was
the culprit of the accident. In fact, you’ve betrayed Zane when you told my Grandpa about this. This
doesn’t make sense at all! You must have an ulterior motive.”

Howie remained as calm as ever and defended himself with another explanation.

“I’ll be able to obtain insider information from Sylphiette if she manages to marry you. That was the
agreement.”

“As for the letter, I just wanted to take that opportunity to strengthen my connection with the Seet
Group. Who knows if we might become business partners in the future?”

Evan kept mum. He still did not believe Howie’s explanation about the letter.

If he were keen to approach the Seet Group, he could have done it openly instead of keeping his
identity a secret.

Either he’s not telling the truth, or he’s not the mastermind. Someone might have used this man to lure
me to K Nation.

Based on the way how Howie carried himself, Evan was convinced that someone must have used him
as a scapegoat. There must be a more powerful mastermind behind all these.

Upon returning to the hotel, Evan received a call from Davin.



“Howie is not the culprit. Someone is trying to mislead you, but we still don’t know their motive. You
should come back soon.”

Evan’s eyes darkened.

He wants me to go back?

After spending just a day in K Nation?

Of all days, Davin called today.

As if this call was also in the mastermind’s grander scheme of things.

“Got it. Take care of my kids and Nicole.”

“I will. Come back soon, and we’ll think of our next course of action.”

“All right.”

After ending the call, Evan immediately turned to John. “Prepare a private plane for me. Time to go
back.”

“All right, Mr. Seet.”

“Take Zane with you on a commercial flight.”

“It’s too dangerous for you to travel alone, Mr. Seet. I’ll get a few guards to travel with you.”

Evan looked at him in the eyes. “Do as I said,” he said firmly.

He doesn’t even trust our guards?

It’s better to be safe than sorry, I guess.



John knew how critical this matter was. He did not ask further but made the necessary arrangement
right away.

The next afternoon, John and a few security guards brought Zane back to Y City. Upon arriving at the
airport, John immediately called Evan.

He did not pick up the call.

By right, Evan would have touched down hours ago. He should either be in the office or at home.

John believed Mr. Seet should be spending time at home. After all, Nicole and his four children were
his priority.

“Perhaps Mr. Seet switched off his phone on purpose because he’s spending quality time with his
wife?”

John turned around and shot daggers at the guard who made that remark. “You do know Mr. Seet very
well, don’t you? Why don’t you become his assistant?”

“Just kidding, Mr. Lindt. Mr. Seet needs you!”

John responded with a smirk. “Of course. I’ve worked for him for so many years. He…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he received a call from Davin.

“Where’s Evan?”

Davin seemed anxious as he was literally yelling at John.

“We’ve just walked out of the airport. Mr. Evan should have been back earlier than us because he was
on a private plane. I guess he should be home by now?”



“Private plane?”

Davin was thunderstruck.

“Is it the private plane that has crashed?”

“Crashed? Sorry, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Upon hearing what Davin said, John was as stunned as a deer in headlights.

The same phrase that Davin said played over and over again in his head.

Mr. Seet’s private plane has crashed!

“No… no way!”
