However, Avril pulled Nicole into the bathtub too, but her reflexes kicked in and she was struggling to break free from her.
âCome and bathe with me,â Avril slurred.
It took all of Nicoleâs strength to get out of the bathtub. She wiped the water off her face and took a few deep breaths to calm herself.
In that instant, she felt like she deserved this punishment.
She should not have tried to set Avril up with her dad because she wanted him to have somebody by his side. In the endâ¦
She left Avril in the bathroom and got changed to see Stephen.
Although Evan had explained it on her behalf, Stephen was evidently still angry.
She was about to explain herself when Stephen stopped her. He demanded, âMake her leave, and I will pretend that nothing ever happened. Otherwise, I will leave.â
He knew that he could never allow Avril to do something like this again. He should make her give up now, so she could pursue her own happiness.
If someone had to leave, Nicole knew that it should certainly be Avril and not Stephen.
Well, itâs okay to let her go. If everything becomes more complicated, it wonât be good for anyone.
She nodded. âAlright, I will arrange for her to leave immediately.â
By the time Avril woke up the next day, she was already in Seet Residence.
She could not remember how she arrived here last night.
The only clue she had was from Davin. He told her that it was Evanâs chauffeur who sent her here.
âWhy did they send me here?â The woman was confused.
âYou should be asking yourself. Iâm also curious about what you did that made them kick you out of Imperial Garden. Furthermore, they sent you here in the middle of the night.â
Avril pondered and tried to recall what happened. She remembered going to Stephenâs room with a bottle of red wine and drinking it with him. Then, she remembered being in the bathtub.
Instantly, her face turned red.
Davin saw the change in her expression and asked curiously, âWhat have you done? Tell me because I want to know.â
âNoâ¦I did nothing bad.â However, there was guilt written across Avrilâs face.
âThen why would they send you away in the middle of the night?â Davin challenged.
Avril shot him a look and sneered, âThatâs because Imperial Garden is too small and canât accommodate someone as great as me.â
Obviously, Davin did not believe her. He scanned her from head to toe and snorted, âSeet Residence is quite small too and cannot accommodate you. Why donât you stay with Levant for a few days instead?â
Levant Winery was magnificent. It was unique and famous in Y City. Of course, Avril had heard about it and wanted to visit it too.
However, although Levant was her sibling, they grew up in different places. He grew up in the estate, while she grew up in Wicked Palace. Other than the blood they shared, they did not have much of a bond between them.â
Will Levant allow me to stay with him? At Wicked Palace, she was often going against him.
Worried, she fiddled with her hair. âLet me think about it.â
âThereâs nothing to think about. I can get Sheila to send you there. Levant is your brother and will not throw you out,â Davin assured.
In a daze, Avril muttered, âItâs best if I donât get kicked out. I can take the chance to watch him too and ensure that he does not try to ruin Evan and Nicoleâs relationship.â
âWell, Evan will be grateful.â
Avril chuckled. âYes, he has to thank me for that.â
Davin laughed. He knew she must have done something bad in Imperial Garden. Otherwise, she did not have to please Evan.
In the next minute, he whipped out his phone and called Sheila. When three of them arrived at Levant Winery, they saw a woman standing outside Levantâs room nervously pacing back and forth. She wanted to knock on the door but seemed hesitant to do so, raising her hand in mid-air.
Is it that difficult to knock on the door?
The three of them watched the woman before Sheila finally walked over curiously. âWho are you?â
âI am here to look for Levant,â the woman replied.
Avril studied the lady carefully. She looked rather pretty but she did not look impressive. She doesnât look like the type to have anything to do with Levant.
âWhy are you looking for Levant? What is your relationship with him?â She pressured the nervous woman.
Tiffany clenched her fists and tried to guess who Avril was.
That canât be Levantâs wife, right?
Will she misunderstand why Levant lend me money to buy a house?
