She looked at him in surprise. “Evan, did I do something wrong? Why are you asking me to leave? I don’t want to go!” Susan began tearing up as she spoke.
“You should return home and carry on with your life, Susan.”
Susan fell silent. Is Evan using this as an excuse to reject me?
She looked at him with a pitiful expression. “Evan, I…”
“Don’t make me repeat myself, Susan. Get out. I’ll have Darius send you to the airport tomorrow.”
Seeing that Evan had made up his mind, Susan kept quiet and left the room with tears streaming down her face.
John and the others were shocked when they saw her come out looking like that.
“Do you think Mr. Seet bullied Susan? That’s not a very gentlemanly thing to do…” Jeremy sighed.
“Mr. Seet must be in a really bad mood if he’s so harsh on Ms. Susan. We’d better be extra careful.” Jensen shuddered.
“Sigh… Darkmoon Manor sure is quiet without those kids around… What do you think they’re doing right now?” Darius asked.
“They’re obviously spying on Mrs. Seet and keeping Levant away from her, duh!” Damien replied.
“Do you think they’d actually be able to, though?” Jeremy asked.
“I think they can. Those kids are freaking geniuses, after all!” Jensen said.
“They may be geniuses, but Levant is no fool either! I bet they’ll soon realize they’re in for a tough fight!” John sighed.
“What if Levant deems them a threat? Do you think they’d be in danger, then?” Damien asked.
“They’ve only just gotten there today, so I doubt they’d be in any danger just yet. Some conflicts are bound to arise, though.” John replied.
Meanwhile, at the Wicked Palace, Kyle and Juan were standing guard outside the door of the living room.
They heard Levant was coming over to see their Mommy that night, and Evan had specifically instructed them to keep him away from her. As such, they had been standing guard like this after dinner.
Sure enough, they saw Levant coming towards the living room half an hour later.
