Chapter 519

Pursing his lips, Zackery dared not speak further.

After fifteen minutes, Levant’s phone began ringing. Glancing at it, Levant realized that it was a call
was from Nicole.

Overjoyed, he picked up the call.

“What’s up, Ms. Lane?”

“I’m outside the Levant Winery right now. I’ve got a few questions for you and I was wondering if you
had the time.”

“I’ve got time.”

After hanging up the phone, Levant instructed the manager to escort Nicole in.

Now that Nicole had come just as expected, Zackery’s heart erupted with glee. Puffing up his chest, he
took a step forward as advised, “Mr. Levant, you can’t treat her too well. Remember to keep your
distance at all times. You mustn’t do anything that would sully your reputation. You have to let the
woman offer herself up to you.”

Levant fell silent and then nodded his head.

He felt that Zackery’s tricks were rather useful. After all, Nicole was now personally paying them a visit.

“Mr. Levant, Ms. Lane has arrived.”

The moment the manager had finished speaking, Zackery immediately began studying Nicole from
head to toe.



She had a snowy white complexion, exquisite facial features, and a curvy figure. Without a doubt, she
was a beauty.

No wonder Mr. Levant is head over heels for her. Ever since ancient times, beautiful women have
always seemed to have some kind of magical hold over men.

“Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Levant.”

“Have a seat.”

“Thank you.”

After sitting down, she glanced at the manager and Zackery.

Levant immediately caught her drift. She wanted the manager and Zackery to give them a moment
alone.

“You two head out first.”

“Of course, Mr. Seet.”

The considerate manager closed the door behind him after both of them had left.

“The reason I came looking for you was because I wanted to ask you some questions about my family.
What else do you know?”

“Ms. Lane, I don’t know much. If you really want to find out more, you can go investigate yourself.”

“Am I really related to the ducal family?”

Although she could tell that Levant was unwilling to share too much, she still couldn’t help but ask this
question.



It wasn’t every day one got to meet someone from the ducal family. Thus, she had to make full use of
this opportunity and ask as many questions as she could.

She had so many questions that she was dying to have answers. Only then would she be able to
understand what had happened.

With a faint smile playing on his lips, Levant gently placed a cup of tea in front of her.

“Ms. Lane, I understand how you feel. Your family, your biological father, the difficult relationship
between your biological father and mother… I can help you investigate all these things. However, are
you prepared to agree to my terms, Ms. Lane?”

“Terms? You still want me tie the knot with you?”

“That’s right!”

Nicole clenched her fists discreetly. Marrying Levant was definitely not an option.

She knew perfectly well who was the person she loved.

And other than him, she wouldn’t get married with anyone else.

Levant was clearly threatening her. But since both of them had their own agendas, she decided to beat
him at his own game.

“We haven’t spent that much time together and we don’t know much about each other. I think it’s a little
premature to be talking about marriage at this point,” she bargained, “Why don’t we start from being
friends first?”

As Levant gazed into her crafty eyes, he could tell at once that she was stalling him.



However, his goal wasn’t the only reason he wanted to marry her. Deep down, this was what he really
wanted as well. Thus, he was willing to accept her terms.

And everything would be perfect if Nicole were to develop feelings for him as well.

“Fine, I agree.”

“Then… when will you be returning to K Nation.”

If he were to return to K Nation, it would be in his best interests to do so after confirming Nicole’s
identity and with her tagging along.

“There’s no rush. We can wait till you’re willing to go back with me.”

“Then when will you start helping me investigate?”

“Don’t worry. Even if I don’t go back, all I have to do is give the word and there would be someone who
would conduct this investigation.”

Nicole fell silent upon hearing this. It looks like from now on, I’m going to need to deal with Levant as I
try to coax the information out of him.

Meanwhile, I can give a certain someone who’s hiding his identity behind a hideous mask and lying to
me yet another scare.

“Then it’s settled. You’ll get your people to help me investigate, I’ll head back to the company first.”

“Alright. Shall we have dinner together?” Levant asked as he looked at her, his eyes brimming with
sincerity.
