Chapter 1170: The Mysterious Stalker
"Being with a man who has a fiancée for so many years, haha, Nicole Seys, even your surname is a disgrace to the Seys Family!""You’ve humiliated the Seys family’s reputation! What else do you have in life."
In the room, Nicole Seys held the birth control pills, her eyes reddening.
——-
Days passed in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
On the weekend, Daisy Grant brought her son, Finley Sutherland, to the old Seys Family residence.
The two of them sat leisurely under a parasol, eating snacks and chatting, while a pile of toys was given to the three kids playing on the lawn.
"Here you go, little brother." Iris Seys handed a cherry toy to Finley Sutherland, a big smile on her face.
"My name is Finley!" Finley frowned a bit, looking at Iris Seys, slightly displeased with the nickname "little brother."
"I see that little Finley likes playing with Iris a lot. Maybe I should bring him here to the Seys Family more often. Who knows, perhaps I won’t have to worry about his future wife; childhood friends are the best match," Daisy Grant said to Ariel Morris with a smile.
Ariel Morris smiled softly, her gaze somewhat distracted.
"Ariel, is something troubling you? Recently, I heard that Era and Apex International have signed two big deals, bringing in a lot of profit. My brother and I were even planning to come over and celebrate with a meal."
"Yes, a collaboration was signed," Ariel Morris replied softly. She stared at the teacup in her hand for a while before slowly speaking: "Daisy, lately I feel like someone has been following me when I go out. It makes me uneasy, and I can’t sleep well."
"Someone’s following you? Did you tell Brother Seys about it? It’s unlikely since you haven’t had any conflicts with anyone..." Daisy Grant hesitated for a moment, "But there are many creepy people out there. You’re happily married into the Seys Family, maybe someone’s jealous and wants to cause trouble. Ariel, be careful when you go out; kidnapping is not unheard of. And usually, it’s done for money. You’ve married into the Seys Family, and your brother is the CEO of Summit International, so it’s not impossible to be targeted."
Ariel Morris shook her head, "I haven’t told Arlo, he’s been very busy lately, working overtime until late, and I haven’t had the chance to talk to him."
"This is no small matter; you should still let Brother Seys know, or at least don’t go out alone for now. The consequences could be unimaginable if something happens. If the one following you is after money, that’s one thing, but I’m afraid they might be after something else..."
"Yes, okay, I understand. I’ll be careful for sure."
Despite her uneasy feelings, Ariel Morris managed a gentle smile for Daisy Grant to ease her concern.
Daisy Grant took a sip of tea, "Why haven’t I seen much of Nicole lately? I’ve heard some rumors, but I don’t know if they’re true."
"What rumors? I haven’t seen Nicole much recently either. She mentioned she was busy with something, so maybe she’s too occupied to be around," Ariel said.
Daisy Grant hesitated for a moment, organizing her thoughts before looking at Ariel Morris and asked in a low voice: "Rumor has it that the wedding between Miss Seys and Steven Cooper has been called off, is that true? A lot of people were looking forward to that marriage, and I feel there’s no smoke without fire. Is there a problem between Nicole and Steven? I wanted to ask Nicole about it today but didn’t expect she wasn’t home."
"How could that be! Where did the rumor come from? Why hasn’t our Seys Family heard a word about it? Nicole has been busy recently, so she hasn’t been in contact with Steven much, but she hasn’t told the family that they’ve broken up!"
"I hope it’s just a rumor. When Nicole gets back, have a heart-to-heart with her. It’s been two years since the Seys-Cooper marriage was announced, and there’s still no progress, so it’s no wonder the rumors started spreading."
