Chapter 649

Nicole analyzed the situation. If Adam really is using the escort to control Davin from the shadows, then
there is no saying about how things would turn out later.

After all, Davin had gone crazy for that escort and went as far as clashing with his own mother, whom
he feared and loved the most. Davin also called off his engagement to Sheila for that escort’s sake. It
was the classic case of going head over heels in love with someone.

Under those circumstances, there was no certainty as to whom Davin would side in the end.

Evan couldn’t reveal himself to everyone just yet, and if Davin were to collude with Adam, Nicole’s shot
at winning the battle would be slim.

Nicole thought long and hard before she cleared her throat and came up with a random excuse to get
John to run some errands for her. The best course of action is to protect John by getting him out of
here.

John didn’t understand Nicole’s intention until he saw the message she sent.

“I’ll do that right away, Mrs. Seet.”

“Good. Now go get those files for me.”

“Understood.”

Lisa rolled her eyes at John. Davin will be back by the time you come back with the files. He will teach
you a lesson then.

Twenty minutes later, Davin waltzed into the office with a woman right behind him.

The employees started gossiping again.



“I wonder which lottery that escort struck to have actually caught the eyes of Mr. Davin.”

“Exactly. The eldest daughter of the Muir family is smarter, prettier, and more capable than that escort. I
honestly don’t know what Mr. Davin sees in her.”

“Is this what love is? Can it make a person turn a blind eye to the obvious disparity in intelligence and
beauty?”

No one replied.

The employees shrugged; they were all stumped.

Davin suddenly felt nervous when he stood outside the president’s office. He saw his brother’s
Maybach parked outside the building as he was heading over and guessed that Nicole had come.

Nicole must’ve heard about all my unacceptable behaviors and will definitely scold me later.

“Davin, I want to walk in while holding your hand.”

The escort linked arms with Davin before he could even reply.

Davin paused for a moment but didn’t say anything before opening the door to the president’s office.

Everyone shifted their attention to him.

Nicole assessed the escort and thought that while the latter had a good figure, she was not as pretty as
Sheila.

What the heck does Davin see in her?

Nicole took some time to think from his perspective. She concluded that it was possible that Davin was
into her soft and sweet demeanor.



Sheila had always been bold and fiery, whereas the escort was like a timid flower.

Still, how could a timid woman like her say such cruel words on the phone? Is this all an act?

“Nicole, you’re back!” welcomed Davin as he looked at her.

Nicole nodded, then she shifted her gaze to the woman beside him. “Who is she?”

Davin introduced her instantly. “She is my girlfriend, Lily.”

Lily? I guess flowers do attract busy bees like Davin.

Lily stared menacingly at Nicole. Adam had just sent instructions to Lily, telling her to make Davin go
against Nicole.

It seemed that it was time for Lily to manipulate Davin and whisper into his ears once more.

Lily leaned in Davin’s arms and spoke coquettishly, “Who is that, Davin?”

“She is my sister-in-law,” answered Davin.

“Your sister-in-law?” repeated Lily as she walked towards Nicole. Lily’s eyes shone judgmentally as she
scanned Nicole and demanded, “Is there a reason for you coming to the office?”

“Yes, there is,” replied Nicole firmly.

“And what is that?”

“It’s none of your business.”

Lily turned around and put on a pitiful act in front of Davin. She protested, “Davin, you are the current
president of the Seet Group; you should be the one to decide on every single thing in the company.



How can she speak so rudely and authoritatively in front of you? The way she’s talking to me shows
she doesn’t respect you at all.”

Silence befell the room.

Is that woman trying to drive a wedge between us?

Nicole frowned slightly. Actually, it’s great timing. I’d like to see how Davin will deal with this matter.

Davin was taken aback for a moment. He turned to Lily and suggested, “Let me take you home first.”
