Evanâs piercing gaze landed on John. When he saw Johnâs frozen state of astonishment, he frowned and asked, âWhat did I just say, John?â
John snapped to his senses and replied. âSomethingâs wrong, Mr. Seet.â
Evan narrowed his eyes at him. âDid I say that something was wrong?â
âNo, you didnât say that. But something is really wrong,â John anxiously blurted.
He scrambled over to Evan and showed him the video.
Even before the video ended, Evanâs expression had darkened. He rose to his feet and briskly walked out of the conference room.
âWhy did Mr. Seet leave?â
âI donât know. Did something happen?â
âWhat could have happened thatâs more important than the expansion of the company?â
As the people in the conference room speculated, one of the executives opened social media and was floored by the news he saw.
âSomething more important than the companyâs expansion did happen! Mr. Seet must have gone to Forest Mall.â
âHow do you know?â
âI saw it on social media.â
All the board members accessed social media. Those who did not see the news questioned the people sitting next to them.
âWait. Mrs. Seet is a human trafficker? This is insane.â
âExactly. There must be some hidden reason.â
âI think the other woman is the trafficker and Mrs. Seet must have tried to save the child by saying heâs hers.â
Those who were unaware refused to believe that the wife of the president of Seet Group was a human trafficker.
âItâs possible.â
With the meeting canceled, the board members started to discuss amongst themselves.
By the time Davin rushed to Forest Mall, the police had arrived. He immediately took the police to the side and explained the situation to them.
âThe woman carrying the child isnât a trafficker. Sheâs ill. Sheâ¦â
Evan arrived in the middle of Davinâs explanation.
When Nicole spotted him, her eyes filled with fear. He actually came down here personally to take my child!
âI wonât give you the child! I gave birth to him. This is my child!â Nicole shrieked at him.
âIâm not going to take the child from you. Calm down, Nicole. I wonât fight with you over him.â
âNo, you will. I already gave you one child. Please let me have Juan at least. Heâs mine.â
Juan?
She thinks the child is Juan. Sheâs regressed to the person she was several years ago. No wonder sheâs afraid of me snatching the child.
Evanâs heart panged. He patiently tried to coax Nicole, to no avail. As such, he had no choice but to call someone to bring Juan over.
During this time, Davin was doing his best to stabilize the situation. The police were explaining the situation to the people around.
Oh, so sheâs sick.
The crowd started to buzz with chatter.
The woman stopped trying to provoke Nicole. The child in Nicoleâs arms had stopped crying and had fallen asleep.
When Juan arrived, he dashed over to his mother.
âMommy!â
Nicole was shocked to see Juan. âYou⦠You?â
âIâm Juan, Mommy!â
Juan?
How can there by two Juans?
Thereâs a small one in my arms and a bigger one in front of me. Which of them is the real Juan?
Nicoleâs mind was in pieces.
Juan reached out his hand and touched the child in Nicoleâs arms. âMommy, this little boy is that ladyâs child. Give him back to her, okay?â
Nicole was still doubtful, but she slowly handed the child back to the woman.
She wrapped Juan in her embrace and looked him up and down. âDid⦠Did you eat steroids or something? How did you get so big all of a sudden?â
Juan was speechless.
He stuck out his tongue and said, âMommy, you have four children. Weâre all this size now.â
âFour children?â
