Chapter 1495

The Lull Before The Storm

“Although Maupay didn’t make an appearance, he’s keeping an eye on Seet Group’s every single
movement someplace close.”





“You’re aware of that, Evan? Then what exactly is he planning to do?” Davin asked. “Does Nicole’s
disappearance have something to do with him?”



“Yes.”



From the moment Sally approached Nicole, Evan had thought of that and put countermeasures in
place to ensure Nicole’s safety.







“Is there bad blood between the two of you?” Levant then questioned.







Evan was silent for a while, his gaze growing dark. “Is there? I really have no idea about that.”



“Otherwise, why would he abduct Nicole?”







“We won’t know the answer to that until he tells us himself.”



“Are you saying that he’ll appear, Evan? When will that happen?”







“Very soon.”



Once his daughter achieves her goal, he’ll definitely appear!





Levant and Davin looked at each other, both having a hunch that Seet Group would be thrown into
turmoil once more.



And Evan’s calmness in the recent days was, in all likelihood, the lull before the storm.



“Daddy, don’t you think I look good in this shirt?”



That holler broke the tense atmosphere.



Zayden trotted over while wearing Luke’s shirt that cost ten million.



Davin gaped at his son. “You bought the shirt? Let me tell you this, little brat! I’m not going to pay for it!”



“I didn’t buy it. I got it in exchange with my silver tongue!”



Surprise deluged Davin when he heard that. “Whoa! You’re something else, then! You were dumb in
the past, but you’re now glib after having played with Joy for two years.”





Zayden, however, riposted, “No, it has nothing to do with Joy. They said that I inherited my gift of the
gab and slickness from you, Daddy. They even said that I’ll be like you in the future and manage to
coax a lot of girls into becoming my wife!”



Never mind if it’s just the gift of the gab, but what’s that about being slick?



“Who said that?”



“Juan, Kyle, and Maya all said that! They even said that you’re a ladies’ man, Daddy!”



Davin was instantly rendered speechless.



Ugh! Can’t they say more good things about me in front of the kids and boost my image?



“Don’t believe them. They were just spouting nonsense.”



“That’s not it at all. I think your son has inherited your skills, all right. Otherwise, why would he be
wearing my son’s shirt?” Levant teased.





“Luke voluntarily gave it to me.”



“What did you say to him? Why was he willing to give it to you?”



“I made a bet with him that the shirt won’t fit him anymore after I’ve tried it on. He didn’t believe me, but
it really doesn’t fit him now, so he could only give it to me.”



The few adults were all floored.



They all frowned, only then realizing that Luke’s shirt was surprisingly fit on Zayden’s petite body
despite the latter being a few years younger.



“You cut the shirt?”



“I wasn’t the one who cut it. I asked Maya to help me do it. Now that the shirt has become small, it
doesn’t fit Luke anymore. I’m the only one who can wear it!”





After complimenting Zayden on his ingenuity, Davin threw Levant a smug look. “How does it feel to
have lost ten million?”



“It’s just a shirt.”



“It’s not just a matter of a shirt! The point here is intelligence. My son is very smart, isn’t he?”



No sooner had Davin finished speaking than Luke came over with the car key to the former’s sports
car. “Daddy, is this key enough to bet on the shirt?”



“Of course!”



“Is that my key?”



Nodding, Luke explained to Davin, “I only lent Zayden the shirt because he said that I could choose a
small item from your house. I picked the car key to your sports car.”



At his words, everyone was stunned.





Seeing the defeat on Davin’s face, Levant couldn’t help sneering, “How does it feel to lose a sports car,
Davin?”



Davin swung his gaze at Zayden, who was rubbing his head. “Did you lose your mind to exchange my
sports car for a measly shirt?”
