Nicole knew very well just what kind of person Sylphiette really was. Memories of how she and Sylvia had treated her in the past flashed through her mind. It was all carved into her mind.
âSylphiette, if you do anything to my children, I swear I will never spare you.â
âAnd what are you going to do about it? Believe it or not but you canât do anything to me since Evan is protecting me.â
She smiled gleefully after her sentence and walked back to the main house.
Nicole felt her heart pounding anxiously. What if Evan believes Sylphietteâs nonsense? Kyle and Juan are definitely going to suffer!
What do I do now?
Right then, Juan and Kyle had already arrived at the main house with Evan. Their father was looking at them with a disappointed expression.
âDo you admit your mistake now?â
Both of the children kept their heads low and said nothing.
Theyâre not admitting?
These brats have quite a strong backbone.
âGet back to your rooms and reflect on what you did today. Youâre not allowed to eat dinner tonight. When youâve finally admitted your mistakes, go apologize to Aunt Sylphiette. Youâll only get to eat when she forgives you.â
Fine! Weâll just not eat then. Weâll never apologize to that witch.
Kyle turned and walked back to his room stubbornly and Juan went after him.
At the sight of Evan punishing the children, Sylphiette clenched her hands tightly.
She wasnât satisfied with Evanâs punishment. But they were his biological sons, so she could still understand it.
It seems like I have to take it out on them myself. Both of these brats are going to get it once Iâm done with my shower. And that damned Nina!
âEvan, theyâre still young. Donât go too hard on them.â
She got up and said, âIâll go shower first.â
I donât even know how long I have to soak myself to get rid of this smell.
Evan watched as she left and suddenly thought of Kyle. That kid would actually starve himself for a long time out of spite.
If he just keeps staying hungry like thatâ¦
On second thought, starving them might be a good thing. Maybe theyâll learn that they shouldnât misbehave.
âMommy, what were you doing with Uncle Evan in the room earlier?â Maya asked as she stared at Nicole.
âMommy was discussing with him on which house would be better to be used as the acupuncture clinic.â
âMommy, youâre still planning to open a clinic?â
Nicole nodded. She had originally thought that once Zane and Sylvia were divorced, she could successfully get Lane Corporation and that she could think of some way after that to reestablish Lane Corporation.
However, she didnât expect Sylphiette to have the ability to move in openly and legally. It seemed like she wouldnât be able to get Lane Corporation temporarily.
That was why she had to start an acupuncture treatment room. At least with it, she could have a stable income.
If she only relied on the money she earned by answering medical questions online, Nicole wouldnât be able to give her children a good life.
Thatâs why I have to work hard.
âMommy, then where are you going to open a clinic? Arenât you going to open one at Rose Garden anymore?â
âItâs going to be somewhere around here. Itâs just nearby. When Mommy earns enough money, Iâll think of a way to build a garden like this. Then weâll all move there and live happily together as a family.â
Maya nodded happily.
But the important thing right now isnât the clinic, itâs Kyle and Juan. I donât even know how theyâre doing now.
Nicole wanted to take a look at the main house but was afraid that it would anger Evan, causing him to take it out on the children. After a momentâs thought, she decided to ask for help from someone.
She took out her phone and dialed a number.
âWhat did you say?â
âYour nephewsâ lives are depending on you now. Do you have the time to come over?â
âYes. I donât have time for anything else but I definitely have time to save my nephews. Donât worry. With Kyle and Juanâs IQs, they wonât be at a great loss.â
Nicole sighed.
It wasnât only Evanâs punishment for the children that she had to worry about. She was even more worried about the black-hearted Sylphiette, who was always playing innocent.
âIâll have to trouble you then.â
âDonât be so polite. I like Juan very much. If Julia hadnât forced me to go abroad for this business discussion, I wouldâve visited him much earlier. As for Kyle, well, heâs just like Evan. Heâs cold on the outside and warm on the inside. Anyway, theyâre both great kids.â
âThank you.â
After they hung up, Davin didnât waste any time as he got onto his sports car and drove to Rose Garden.
