Chapter 481

Clare hesitated for a moment. She gently nodded but did not say much.

It was obvious that Ryan forced her to be here.

Lisa, on the other hand, talked nonstop about the Seet Group leadership position. Everyone could tell
she was keeping her eyes on the prize.

Davin put a cup of tea on the table and said, “Both of you just can’t wait to take over the Seet Group
huh?”

Both Adam and Ryan did not bother to pay serious attention to Davin.

“We’re telling the truth. You’re not qualified to lead the company since you’re not as capable as your
brother.”

“Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! You’re not as capable as you think either!”

It would be disastrous if these two brothers took over the Seet Group. If worse comes to worst, we
should support the lesser of two evils – Ryan.

Adam and Lisa were no pushovers. Of course, they would fight till the end to get what they desired.

When the Seets were still in the midst of debating, Patrick and Sheila arrived unannounced.

Patrick stepped in and proposed to give Davin several mega projects on the condition that the Seet
family would elect Davin as the president. It was his way to support his future son-in-law.

After a round of deliberation, Russell decided to appoint Davin as the interim president for the Seet
Group.



However, this position came with a condition. Russell would benchmark Davin’s performance against
the company’s performance for the next three months. If he failed to meet his expectation, the patriarch
would replace him with another candidate.

This decision had temporarily put a stop to the family dispute.

Davin could not imagine the energy and time he had to commit to the Seet Group for the next three
months.

He had no intention of becoming the president of the Seet Group. The only reason he fought for the
position was to stop Adam from taking over the company. He knew for sure Adam would one day
destroy their family business.

Yet, now he did not have the confidence to run the company properly.

Upon seeing how dejected Davin was, Sheila encouraged him to continue Evan’s legacy so that his
blood, sweat, and tears would not go to waste.

Davin could not help but feel depressed when he thought of Evan. He gritted his teeth and vowed, “I’ll
do my best to bring the Seet Group to the next level.”

“That’s the spirit.”

Sheila heaved a sigh of relief and was pleased to see how resolute Davin had become after the pep
talk.

“How’s Nicole?”

Sheila immediately lost the smile on her face the moment she heard the question.



“She’s no longer the Nicole we knew. She tries to act normal in front of the kids, but she has become
emotionally distant. I don’t know how to comfort her anymore.”

“The kids have been asking me about Evan, but at this point, I don’t know what excuses to tell them
anymore. What if they find out…”

“Nicole doesn’t want the kids to know. We just have to try our best to keep it a secret.”

The couple let out a helpless sigh.

It was a Saturday, and the four children did not have to go to school. To stop them from asking about
Evan, Nicole decided to bring them for a walk.

Maya and Nina suggested to go to Davin’s shopping mall. Juan and Kyle nodded in agreement as they
did not have any other suggestions.

“All right. We shall go to Uncle Davin’s shopping mall then.”

As usual, the mall was a happening place, and there were people everywhere.

When Nicole walked past the men’s section and saw the limited edition suits, she could not help but
think of how suave Evan would look if he were in those formal attires.

He would definitely look great in them.

Just when she was still immersed in her imagination, Nina suddenly exclaimed, “Daddy! It’s Daddy!”

Nicole turned around to look at Nina. So did her other three children.

The moment the crowd noticed a tall and muscular man in the shopping mall, they started talking about
him.



Though they could only see his back, the elegance he exuded clearly accentuated how extraordinary
he was.

Nicole froze. Why does he look so familiar?

Is it really him?

But he’s already…

Did God hear my prayers and decide to bring him back to me?
