“She wants the Seets to pay for what they’ve done, or she’ll never let us off.”
“Pay for what we’ve done? How?”
“A life for a life.”
Jonathan’s words rang like thunder in Sophia’s mind, causing her face to turn pale.
A life for a life? Does she want to take Jonathan’s?
Sophia looked utterly horrified. “How could this happen?” she muttered. “Isn’t there any other way?”
“We can’t avoid what’s coming, but that’s alright. I’ve lived long enough. I believe Evan and Davin will make Seet Group stronger than ever, so everything will be fine even if I die.”
“What the hell are you talking about? What am I going to do if you die? I won’t let that happen!”
“Well, everyone has their own path to take. Let’s talk more when we get home.”
Sophia gloomily followed Jonathan out of the café.
Meanwhile, at the Seet Residence.
Davin and Sheila were discussing their wedding in excitement. They had conflicting opinions over some small details, so they thought of heading over to Imperial Garden to ask for Nicole’s input while letting her know that their wedding was about to happen soon.
Upon arriving at Imperial Garden and learning that Evan hadn’t returned home, they quickly told Nicole about their wedding plans.
“Congratulations! Just let me know if you need any help!”
“I’ve gone through this with Davin, Nicole. We want to plan everything carefully and make our wedding a super romantic one. Could you give us some suggestions on this?”
Suggestions?
Nicole pondered for a moment. “Well, I haven’t had a wedding myself, so I’m not sure if I’ll be of help. Evan has done some research, though. Maybe you can ask him about this when he comes home.”
While Sheila nodded in agreement, Davin refused. “If it’s something Evan researched, that means he’ll want to use it for his wedding with you, Nicole. I can’t steal someone else’s ideas.”
