You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 535 The Deal

The next day, even before Noah and Leon could bring any news about Demi, Jett met with Nina.

He contacted her and arranged an appointment in a teahouse.

Cali was so worried that Nina was going there alone, so she decided to go with her to the meeting.

The teahouse was usually packed on regular days, but it was strangely empty that day. Not only were there no customers, but also just a few employees.

Jett had arranged the venue in advance, and only Nina was to be allowed inside. Cali was stopped outside the teahouse and not allowed to enter. "Your Highness, you can't go there alone. What if Jett does something bad to you?" Cali held Nina's hand and tried to stop her from going in. Calmly, Nina took Cali's hand off her wrist and comforted her, "There are a lot of people who can see me enter the teahouse. Nothing's going to happen. Don't worry. Jett won't dare to hurt me."

Before Nina could enter, the guards at the door tried to confiscate her mobile phone. Nina didn't allow them, and instead handed her phone over to Cali.

She went in without Cali, and the guards escorted her up the flight of stairs to the second floor.

Cali couldn't see what was going on the second floor, so she had to call Vicente. However, Vicente's phone was busy all the time.

It was a matter of great importance, so Cali decided that she had to use Nina's phone. She quickly noticed that the screen wasn't locked.

She then quietly muttered an apology. "Your Highness, I don't mean to peep into your privacy. I just have to call Prince Leon and tell him the current situation. You must forgive me."

Nina's phone had two separate interfaces, one of which was encrypted and concealed. What Cali saw was just the ordinary interface. It looked clean as if the phone had never been used or modified in any way.

Opening the address book, Cali was surprised by what she saw.

There wasn't even a contact in the address book. In the call history, however, she saw that Nina made a few calls recently.

She browsed the log and called the most frequently dialed number.

"Little girl?"

A man's voice came through the phone. It sounded warm and gentle. It was also deep and masculine, the kind of voice that would make women swoon. Cali was shocked when she realized what just happened.

She recognized the man's voice.

"Sean?"

Almost immediately, the person on the other end of the line changed his tone. "Why do you have Princess Nina's phone?" he asked coldly.

Now that she heard the voice again, Cali was even surer that the person on the other end of the line was Sean.

'Why did he call Princess Nina little girl? Why was he so gentle to her? And when he heard my voice, his tone suddenly changed.'

Cali's mind was full of questions.

"What happened?" John's cold voice pulled Cali back to reality.

"Jett made an appointment with Princess Nina in the teahouse. But they didn't let me in with her. I'm worried that something bad might happen to her in there," Cali answered frantically. "Message me the location now." As soon as John heard that Nina was in danger, he had no choice but to say goodbye to Bruce. Without delay, he rushed to the location Cali sent him.

In the teahouse, Jett himself made tea for Nina. He looked polite and gentle.

Jett was excellent at making tea. As he prepared it for Nina, the pleasant aroma of fine tea filled the antique room. The teahouse was the most iconic building on C Island. It was designed by an architect who particularly revered Chinese architecture.

"Nina, please." Jett gracefully put a cup in front of Nina, and poured her some tea.

Without hesitation, Nina took a sip. Her eyes lit up, showing how fine the tea was.

Seeing that Nina was in a good mood, Jett didn't waste time getting straight to the point. "Nina, I arranged to see you today to see if we could agree to a deal."

"A deal?" Nina asked knowingly. Slowly putting down the teacup on the table, she glanced over at Jett, who was trying to control his temper.

With a wave of Jett's hand, an assistant approached and handed him a sealed paper folder.

"Go downstairs now. No one is allowed to get close."

"Understood, sir."

Once the assistant had gone downstairs, the two of them were left alone in the room. Jett opened the folder and took out a paternity test report.

"Nina, I want to exchange this for Demi," Jett said, slowly pushing the report closer to Nina. "Don't worry. No one knows about it except me. Not even the doctor who conducted the test knows the details. This report was sealed after its release, and my assistant has no idea what this is about."

The paternity test report didn't worry Nina at all. She picked it up and examined it calmly.

"Why should I believe you?"

Pressing his lips tightly, Jett tried to hide his displeasure at Nina's question.

After a moment's pause, he spoke up. "Nina, you have no choice but to trust me. If the public learns that Vicente's children are not really his, it would be a great deal of trouble.

I'm willing to trade this in exchange for Demi's life. You should know how generous this offer is."

Nina thought deeply. She knew that she should just agree to the deal. 'Jett is cunning. How can I know if I can trust him?

I'm not even sure about Demi's importance to Jett.

If I take a wrong step now, I will lose everything.'

"Demi is just your mistress. How could you give up such an important bargaining chip just for her?" Nina said to him with a smile.

Gritting his teeth, Jett said angrily, "Nina, I've been more than generous with this offer. The choice is yours. Take it or leave it. Tell me, can you really afford to damage the reputation of the royal family?" "Don't be mad. I'm saying it for your sake. Demi is just a mistress. I don't think you're getting a good deal out of this." Sipping her tea calmly, Nina didn't feel threatened at all.

"It's none of your business whether it's worth it or not. That's for me to worry about." Jett looked straight into her eyes with an icy gaze.

This was a dangerous game to play, but Nina stared back at him. "Demi lost an eye by accident. I don't think she'd be of much use to you. However, for me, she can still be useful." Jett smashed his fist on the table. The exquisite teapot dropped to the floor and broke into a hundred pieces.

Hearing the noise, the assistant knocked on the door. Before he could open his mouth, Jett scolded him angrily, "Get out of here! Don't come up again."

Then he pointed at Nina angrily. "You hurt her. I won't let you go, Nina. Wait and see. Everyone will learn about this paternity test!"

Nina rolled her eyes and thought, 'Based on his reaction just now, I could now confirm the actual relationship between the two of them.

When he heard me say that Demi was his mistress, he got angry. And when he heard that Demi lost an eye, he couldn't control his anger.

Demi is not a mistress at all. She is the one Jett cares about most.'

"Wait!" Nina called out to him.

"It's too late!" Jett picked up his phone.

Nina looked up at him and said, "Jett, if you do this, Demi will lose the other eye."

Sure enough, Jett put the phone in his pocket and asked angrily, "What do you want?

I have dirt on you. If you dare to hurt Demi even just a little, I'll make you pay."

"Calm down." Nina looked at him with a faint smile. "I also have something on you. You love Demi, your ex-wife, very much."

When he heard what Nina said, Jett's mind turned blank.000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
