Chapter 1054

Evan frowned when he heard that.

Maya stared wide-eyed at the two and asked, “Is she really that ugly?”




“Yeah!”

“We saw it with our own eyes!”

Maya still found it hard to believe. “Daddy looked ugly too when he was pretending to be Yoda, but that’s
just him with an ugly mask! What if that’s the case with this woman as well?”



Juan and Nina went into deep thought upon hearing what Maya said.



“You’re a genius, Maya! I was wondering why that woman didn’t bother covering up her age spots with
makeup. Maybe that’s what she wanted us to see!” Nina exclaimed.

“Whoa… She’s smarter than we thought, but that’s okay! I’m sure she’ll eat the desserts you made her,
Maya! What did you put in it, by the way?” Juan asked.



“Laxatives. That ought to give her really bad diarrhea!” Maya said with a smug grin on her face.

Evan was impressed at how the kids were able to see through Nicole’s tricks, but the mention of the
laxatives made his heart skip a beat.





Nicole’s body is really weak right now. There’s no way she’d be able to handle the laxatives!

He ran back up the stairs and hammered on the door.

Nicole felt somewhat uneasy at how urgent the knocking was and hesitated a bit before opening the
door.

Evan went straight into her room without saying a word and looked around frantically. When his gaze
then fell upon the half-eaten dessert, he quickly turned around and ordered, “Spit it out right this instant!”



Nicole stared at him in confusion. “I can’t. I already swallowed it.”

“I don’t care! Puke it up if you have to!”

What the hell is wrong with him? Why would he ask me to puke up something I just ate?

“Why? Are you going to eat what I puke up? If so, I’ll do it!” Nicole shot back at him in annoyance.

Damn it, why won’t she just do as I say? Calm down, Evan… This isn’t the time to argue with her…

He took a deep breath and said, “Maya has spiked it with laxatives!”

Nicole was aghast.

Laxatives? Why would you do this to me, Maya? Are you trying to get at me because you think I’m a
homewrecker?

Before she could say anything, Evan continued, “They saw through your disguise, Nicole! You can’t fool
them with that!”



“What? But I had them convinced earlier…” Nicole eyed him suspiciously, wondering if he had ratted her
out.

Evan noticed the strange look on her face and told her, “Maya guessed it based on how I disguised
myself as Yoda back then.”

She guessed that without even seeing me? Oh, Maya… You never fail to surprise me…

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her abdomen, and Nicole ran straight into the toilet.

Looks like the laxatives are taking effect… She must’ve used some really strong ones…

Evan called the family doctor immediately, who then arrived shortly after and hooked Nicole up to an IV
drip.

The three kids headed upstairs to have a look at Nicole, but they were stopped by Kyle at the top of the
stairs.

“What are you doing, Kyle?”

“There’s something Daddy wants you all to do.”

“What is it?”

“He wants you to clean up the leaves in the backyard.”

“Don’t we have maids for that?” Nina protested.
