Chapter 1499: Chapter 1500

Chapter 1500 At All Costs

When I’ve attained my goal, I may not necessarily be able to marry you even if you want to marry me! Sally inwardly lamented.

“Okay.”

By then, Sally and Kyle had both achieved their respective goals.

Sally felt that she would definitely have an opportunity to assume control of Seet Group’s capital chain after having the identity of Kyle’s girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Kyle felt that she would certainly make another move after having successfully “won him over.”

Hmm, I’ll just observe while lending her a hand. Then I’ll soon know what exactly she wants to do and unravel the mystery of her and the Maupay family! Besides, I’ve got to investigate the information I obtained about the Maupay family from her phone carefully. For instance, the partial antidote and the few places her brother sent her should be checked out thoroughly.

Meanwhile, hoping that Wilbur would be able to track down Nicole’s whereabouts, Maya had been calling him every so often to inquire about the progress.

“Are you helping me to find my mommy? Is there any news?”

“I am, Maya. Your mother… She has gone out of town to treat patients, and I’ve already sent some men over.”

“Really?” A burst of excitement flooded Maya. But on second thought, she found it rather absurd.

If Mommy has really gone out of town to treat patients, why haven’t we been able to reach her through her phone? Don’t tell me she wants us to worry about her?

“Yes. You’ve got to believe me. I’ve got the testimonies of a few people who were recipients of her kindness. According to their descriptions of the doctor who conducted their acupuncture treatments, it should be your mother.”

There are testimonies and even people who had their acupuncture treatments done by her? Then it’s plausible!

“Where’s the place you’re speaking of, then? I want to go there personally and see her with my own eyes before I’m convinced.”

At that, Wilbur went silent for a while.

She wants to go there? Well, I suppose it’ll be good. I’ll just consider it as going on a vacation with her.

He then randomly chose a city with stunning scenery. “She’s in Avenport.”

“When are we going?”

“Let me make some arrangements for my work first. I’ll inform you after I’ve confirmed the date.”

“Okay, please make it quick.”

“Sure.”

After that, Wilbur gave Evan a call and told him about the lie he had told Maya and his intention of bringing her away for a vacation of sorts.

Upon hearing that, Evan frowned.

Maya was guileless when she was young, but I didn’t expect her to still be so easily fooled when she’s now grown up. Anyhow, it’ll be good if he takes her away. After all, it’s uncertain yet the turmoil and storm that will result following the Maupay family’s appearance. Besides, no one knows the impending crisis Seet Group would be facing either. Her departure may not necessarily be a bad thing. But then…

“I’ll be entrusting Maya to you, Wilbur. Make sure that you keep her safe. If even a hair on her head is harmed, you won’t be the only one paying the price but also the whole of Simpson Group!”

Wilbur could tell that the man was exceedingly serious when he said that, and it was definitely not a baseless threat.

The entire Y City knew that Evan loved his wife more than his own life and doted on his daughter greatly. Hurting Maya would be equivalent to threatening his life, so Wilbur naturally hadn’t the guts to do so.

Furthermore, he had ascertained that Maya was pure and innocent after their past few interactions, exactly his cup of tea. He was even planning to have her fall in love with him as well during their trip this time. Therefore, he would never hurt her but do his best to protect her.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Seet. If anything happens to Maya, Simpson Group and I are willing to bear all consequences.”

Evan felt much more at ease with Wilbur’s promise.

Nevertheless, he still sent out two highly trained bodyguards to secretly protect Maya.

When he was done making all the arrangements for her, he again thought of Nina.

There hasn’t been any news of her in the past few days. Could something have happened to her? If she has truly suffered some mishap, how am I going to explain it to Nicole? Where exactly is this daughter of mine?

His expression was dark and forbidding. He felt that he should ask someone familiar with K Nation to go and help with the search. After turning it over in his mind, he thought of Levant.

When Levant learned of his request, he agreed right away.

“Don’t worry. Just leave it to me. It so happens that I also want to make a trip back to K Nation.”

“Thank you, then. You must find Nina at all costs. I’m willing to pay the price no matter what it is!”
