Preoccupied with rescuing their mother, Juan and Kyle did not notice that Maya was there.
Nina sighed. She thought Susan had bribed Maya with those candies, which was why Maya stayed in the former’s room for so long.
Meanwhile, Susan only allowed Maya to leave when her eyes were no longer red and there were no signs of her crying.
Before she left, Susan warned her, “Don’t tell anybody about this. Otherwise, your mommy will have to stay in that small dark room forever. Do you understand?”
Maya widened her eyes and nodded vigorously.
“Get out!” Susan yelled as she pointed to the door.
Rubbing her chubby hands against each other, Maya walked out of the room.
When Nina saw Maya coming back, she asked curiously, “Why took you so long? What did that bad woman tell you?”
Without a word, Maya shook her head. Anxiety was written all over her chubby face.
I can’t tell her. Otherwise, Mommy will have to suffer in that dark room forever.
Nina glanced at her. That evil woman really managed to bribe her.
Maya lowered her head and sat in a daze. Is Mommy okay?
Did she get beaten up? Has she eaten?
Meanwhile, Nicole was leaning against the cool wall with an angry expression on her face.
Recalling the scene earlier, she let out a miserable laugh before tears started to roll down her cheeks.
Evan, even if you misunderstand my relationship with Levant, you should not allow others to humiliate me like this.
Did you really think that I cheated on you? Is that why you allowed others to treat me like this?
Haha!
Evan, you are ruthless!
That terrible scene earlier replayed in her mind vividly.
