Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 Not Be Swayed by Threats or Inducements 

Evelyn took half a step back and pulled the half–drunk Grace behind her. She looked at them warily and said, “I don’t know Mr. Harper you’re talking about.” 

Unexpectedly, the man acted as if he couldn’t hear her at all and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Shelton. Please cooperate.” 

Evelyn took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. “I told you, I don’t know Mr. Harper. You have no right to block me like this. Please get out of the way.” 

“Miss Shelton, if you don’t cooperate, we can only take you there by force.” 

As they spoke, they took a step forward. 

Evelyn’s face darkened, and she looked back and forth between the strong men. She thought, “They won’t be swayed by threats or inducements, will they?” 

Behind her, Grace seemed to feel that the atmosphere at the scene was a little strange. She leaned over and whispered in Evelyn’s ear, “Evelyn, what’s wrong?” 

“It’s okay.” Evelyn glanced at her. “How are you? Can you walk on your own?” 

“I can do it!” 

Evelyn nodded and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, but her eyes were fixed on the people beside her. “I’ll shout later, and you’ll run with me.” 

Grace couldn’t keep up with her thoughts and only knew to listen to whatever she said. “Okay.” 

Evelyn looked at the three men in front of her again. After a few seconds of silence, she pinched Grace’s palm and said in a low voice, “Run!” 

She turned around, stepped forward, and gasped violently. The gentle wind that she had just felt blew on her face was now like a blade. 

The two of them ran as fast as they could towards the main road in the distance. Their lungs were burning due to their rapid breathing, and their movements slowed down uncontrollably. However, the footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer… 

Evelyn used all her strength, but she still couldn’t break free. After running less than a hundred meters, her arm was grabbed! 

“Miss Shelton.” The man’s voice was still calm as if he hadn’t run away just now.

Knowing that she couldn’t avoid it, Evelyn turned around and looked up at the man’s face. Before she could speak, something suddenly flew over and hit the man’s arm. 

“Let go of her.” A clear and melodious voice sounded from behind her. It was so familiar. 

Hearing this, the man immediately took a few steps back, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, “Mr. Harper!” 

Bert came from the dark, and every step he took seemed to step on the top of her heart. He walked in step by step and finally stopped in front of Evelyn. He looked down at the woman’s slightly red wrist, and his eyes were calm but cold. “Who asked you to touch her?” 

“I’m sorry, Mr. Harper!”
