Chapter 452 Make Her Painful
“I don’t need to ask about you. As long as I want to, everything about you is not a secret.”
Hearing his shameless words, Evelyn was speechless. “So, what do you want?”
“Nothing.” Bert paused and withdrew his hand. Although he had restrained his strength, there was still a red mark on the woman’s delicate chin. He frowned slightly and soon loosened his grip. “If you can’t make it one day, you can come to me. I will help you.”
Evelyn frowned and didn’t understand why he suddenly said this, but she didn’t intend to ask further. “Thank you, Mr. Harper. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Bert stared at her for a while, then casually raised his hand and stuffed something into her pocket. Evelyn was so scared because of his sudden approach that her hair almost stood on
end. Fortunately, he just did this and then turned to leave.
After watching the mighty figure disappear at the intersection, Evelyn took out the things in her pocket with trembling fingertips. It was another business card. There were
no titles or signs on it, only a string of private numbers.
Evelyn clenched her fists tightly, and the corners of the business card sank into her palm, which was a little prickly. She did not understand why Bert did this at this critical moment, but she felt more and more uneasy.
After Ben’s recovery check-up, he had finally resolved the worries of Lucy and Evelyn. His recovery was very optimistic, and there were no more problems. Evelyn had no choice but to face Huston again.
Evelyn still had a lot of things left in Royal Villa that she had
not collected. Ben’s illness this time added up to a long time.
She had been running away from it, and she would face it
sooner or later.
Evelyn wanted to go during the day, but she didn’t know what to do. She dragged it out until the evening. According to the information from Ada, Huston had a social engagement
tonight, and it was an important dinner party. Huston would
probably return in the early hours of the morning.
Only then did Evelyn feel relieved and dragged a suitcase to
the villa.
When Evelyn opened the door and saw Sadie, the old lady’s eyes immediately turned red. She apologized, “I’m sorry, Miss
Shelton. I…”
Without waiting for her to finish, Evelyn raised her hand and
interrupted, “It’s none of your business, Sadie. You don’t have
to apologize.”
Sadie didn’t know what to say. She was happy that she was finally back, but when she saw the suitcase in her hand, her
expression changed slightly. “Miss Shelton, are you going to…”
“I came here today to pack my luggage, so I forgot to tell
you in advance.” In fact, she was afraid that Sadie would tell
Huston about it.
Sadie stood aside with a conflicted expression. Mr. Lloyd had told her to contact him when Miss Shelton came back, but
now.
Evelyn could tell that she was in a dilemma and smiled comfortingly. “Just tell him.”
Evelyn came here because she was sure that he would not be able to get away tonight.
Sadie watched her go upstairs with her suitcase and sighed helplessly. She picked up the walkie-talkie and dialed Huston’s
number.
