The Hidden Empress Stripping Her Secrets After Divorce novel Chapter 564

The banquet wrapped up just before eleven.

Evelyn stepped out of the lobby, immediately shrinking back as the chilly night wind hit her. Sebastian took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

"Keep it on," he ordered gently.

"I'm not cold," she replied.

"Your hands are freezing."

Evelyn didn't argue further, pulling the coat tighter around herself. The faint, comforting scent of pine lingered on the fabric, putting her at ease.

Louis caught up to them from behind, casually sipping from a flute of champagne.

"Evelyn, which hotel are you two staying at?" he asked.

"The Ritz-Carlton Geneva."

"What a coincidence. So am I," Louis smiled. "Want to head back together?"

Sebastian gave him a look but didn't say a word.

The three of them walked toward the parking lot. Lance Sterling had already pulled the car up to the entrance—a sleek, black Maybach. It was understated, but anyone with a sharp eye knew exactly what it was worth.

Just as Evelyn was about to get in, she paused.

She glanced across the street.

A black sedan was parked by the curb. The headlights were off, and the windows were heavily tinted, obscuring the interior. She had noticed it sitting there the moment they left the lobby.

It was still there.

"What is it?" Sebastian asked, following her gaze.

"Nothing," Evelyn murmured, ducking into the car. "Let's go."

Sebastian slid in from the other side, while Louis took the passenger seat. Lance started the engine and pulled out of the lot.

After two turns, Evelyn glanced back.

That black sedan was still tailing them, keeping a steady distance of a few hundred feet.

"Someone's following us," she said.
