Chapter 451 Find Out About Me
In order to get away as soon as possible, even if Evelyn was reluctant, she still thanked him. “Thank you for helping me. My friend is still in the bar. I’ll go first.”
As she spoke, Evelyn walked out. Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step, Bert in front of her immediately walked in her direction. She frowned slightly and moved to the other side. However, no matter where she went, he followed her, leaving
no room for her.
There was no way she could pretend not to see. Evelyn took a deep breath and said, “Please get out of the way, Mr. Harper.”
“Bert Harper?” Bert raised the corner of his mouth, and his evil
face became more enchanting. “You haven’t forgotten what
my surname is, have you?”
They looked at each other. One was ashamed and annoyed,
while the other was deep and serene. In terms of shrewdness, Evelyn was no match for him at all.
Bert suddenly raised his hand, and the man in the corner
behind him immediately stepped forward and handed over a
thin cigarette. The hazy smoke blocked the way between

“It’s indeed a coincidence that we met three times, but I
believe that it’s not a strange thing for Mr. Harper.”
Bert shook his head. “People I’ve met more than three times.”
Bert kept his voice down, then put the hand holding the cigarette close to his neck and made a slight gesture. It was
obvious what he meant.
If it were anyone else, Evelyn would have thought that he was showing off, but as for Bert, she had seen this man holding the gun handle and pulling the trigger without hesitation.
Evelyn was so shocked and frightened that it was difficult for him to forget it now.
Evelyn looked away, feeling a little flustered. Before she could figure out how to respond to him, a refreshing smell suddenly came to her nose. Before she could figure it out, her chin had fallen into a pair of dry palms.
“Ah!” Evelyn cried out in a low voice and took two steps back. Her back was against the thick cement wall, which was extremely hard.
