Nicole then said in a cruel manner, “If you don’t leave now, I’m going to call Levant.”
Once she finished talking, she deliberately looked for Levant’s number on her phone and held it up for Evan to see.
Evan was speechless at her action.
He couldn’t believe that she would use Levant to protect herself at a time like this.
Hah! I’m such a failure!
When she saw that he wasn’t moving at all, Nicole actually called the number.
“Levant, there’s something important happening here. I need you to come here immediately.”
“Alright. I’ll be right over.”
After she hung up, she made a beeline to the bedroom and said to Evan, “You decide whether you want to leave or stay, live or die.”
Evan said nothing as he watched the bedroom door close. Wiping off the blood on his lips, he let out a deep sigh.
Someone knocked on the door a few minutes later. Nicole knew that it was Levant and her heart leaped to her throat. I wonder if Evan is still around?
She walked out of the bedroom and heaved a breath of relief when she saw the empty living room. Evan must’ve left.
Once Nicole opened the door, she immediately saw Levant’s panicked face.
“Nicole, what’s wrong? Why did you call for me so urgently?”
She froze for a moment before she lied, “Um, I want to change the makeup artist. I’m not too satisfied with the one from a few days ago.”
The excuse surprised Levant.
He was silent for a while before he asked, “Then do you have a suitable makeup artist in mind?”
Nicole shook her head. “No. That’s why I need you to choose one for me.”
“Alright, I’ll do it now. I’ll pick a few and let you choose one.”
Nicole smiled and nodded at that.
After Levant left, she closed the door and went back to the bedroom. However, just as she sat down, a deep and mellow voice rang.
“It seems like you don’t actually want me to die, nor do you want to hand me over to him.”
