“I want a little brother, Mommy.”
“Give me a little sister.”
“I want a baby as chubby as Maya. I want to pinch the baby.”
“Me too, Mommy. I want to go for a walk with my baby brother tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?”
“Yes. Daddy said we’ll soon get a little brother or sister if we cooperate.”
Nicole immediately gave Evan a sullen stare. He pretended to clear his throat and looked away. Why did you sell me out, Maya…
He cast a sidelong glance at the four little ones. “Go to bed right now.”
The mischievous children stuck out their tongues, went back to their room, and closed the door.
Evan took out two sets of pajamas and dragged Nicole to the bathroom.
The next day, Evan arrived early at the Seet Corporation.
Davin anxiously came into his office and stood next to him.
“I found the person who delivered the letter to grandpa. His name is Howie Delton, and he seems to know a lot about our family secrets.”
Howie Delton.
It’s him again.
What does he want from us?
Davin continued, “Also, Uncle Adam seems to know that Zane is still alive. Aunt Lisa told Grandpa that you’re the one who spread the news of Zane’s death on social media. She also accused you of protecting Nicole’s father and that as long as you defend him, the Seets would never be able to avenge Grandma.”
Evan froze, and his eyes darkened.
Trying to frame me, I see.
Grandpa would have believed what Aunt Lisa said, I guess?
“What was grandpa’s response?”
“He didn’t say anything but ordered someone to investigate. If he finds out Zane is still alive, you might have a hard time defending yourself.”
