However, there was nothing Anthony could do. He could only nod helplessly in the end. "Okay, I see." Then, he stood up, walked to her, and reached out his hand to her. "In that case, I wish you well. Don't worry; I won't be the same as before. We're still friends." Evelyn stood up as well when she saw this. Her face then burst into a genuine smile. Holding his hand, she said, "Yes, you're my good friend." At this moment, Anthony suddenly pulled her in and gave her a gentle hug. His shoulders were broad, and he exuded a sense of warmth that put people at ease. Evelyn's body was slightly stiff, but Anthony did nothing else. He only hugged her gently. After a long while, he said, "Well, I wish you happiness." Only then did Evelyn's tense body relax, and she smiled slightly. "Thank you." Finally, their conversation came to an end. Anthony left first because he needed to shoot the next scene soon. As for Eve
This was when she was filming a movie. She got bored and wanted to listen to music, and Anthony happened to be using it, so he gave it to her. As she was using it and didn't get a chance to return it to him at the time, so she kept it ever since. With a smile, she replied, "Yes." Suddenly, Anthony frowned, and a conflicted expression appeared on his face. "Evelyn, you don't have to do this. As I said, even if we can't become lovers, we can still be friends. These things..." "These are yours. I was only borrowing it. Of course, I should return it to you." Smiling sincerely and genuinely, she continued, "If you want to give it to me as a gift, I'll request a brand new one. I won't be shy with you." Stunned, it took Anthony a few seconds to understand what she meant. As young adults, it was obvious that they had to avoid unwanted troubles. Since it was something he had used before, it had his smell and traces of his existence. If she
After all, everyone knew that the road opposite the alley was the only road that led to the hotel, and very few people would pass through it at that time of the day. If the kidnapper was not targetting anyone, that would be too stupid. How long it would take to wait for someone to pass by this place? Furthermore, it was snowing and so cold outside that it was impossible for someone to be that stupid. Therefore, it was possible that the kidnapper knew that someone would pass by at this time. Who would pass by? Of course, it was Evelyn. She was probably being targeted for a while, and they found out the time she would get off work. Hence, the kidnapper had already prepared in advance, waiting for her to pass by, and snatched her away. With the thought in mind, Anthony took out his phone, and switched on the flashlight, as he walked deeper into the alley with his phone in hand. After taking a few steps, he found tire tracks. There wer
For the fact that he was willing to humble himself to carry her gently, he was literally a saint. As she thought of this, her heart was thumping nervously. For the whole way, Anthony carried Carrie to the hospital, and fortunately, the doctor was still on duty at that time. Knowing that her leg was injured, the doctor quickly asked her to sit down, and prepared the Iodophors, medicine, and gauze. Then, the doctor asked the nurse to help her take off her winter leggings in the room before treating her wound. When Carrie realized the situation and said to Anthony, "Anthony, I'm alright now. The doctor will take care of me. You should go and deal with Evelyn's matter." Carrie was not a 'princess,' and she knew that what she had at the moment was just a minor injury. The real danger was Evelyn's case. They didn't know what was happening to Evelyn at the time. When Anthony heard what she said, he glanced at the wound on her knee and confir
Clarissa then reminded her of a few more items Millie needed to be aware of. Millie took note of them and then hung up the phone. As soon as she hung up the phone, Clarissa told Anderson about it. Anderson was better at locating people in the country. When Anderson heard the news, he immediately asked David to send him his orders. Soon after, his subordinates began to take action. At this time, on the other side. Today, Marty personally selected several eligible servants for the villa. When he was about to tell Evelyn the good news, unexpectedly, he received word that she had been kidnapped. Marty was shocked, and he dashed to the police station without hesitation. It didn't take long for him to understand what had happened. His sunny mood suddenly darkened. Carrie was terrified when she saw his sullen face. "Mr. Blaine, Evelyn...will she be fine?" she asked, her voice trembling. Marty then glanced at her with no e
As he spoke, he pointed at Evelyn. Looking at him impassively, Evelyn did not make a sound as her mouth was stuffed. Forbos's expression changed. "So what you mean now is..." The man with tattooed arms put his hand on Forbos's shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother, It's not that I want to say anything, but sometimes you are too soft-hearted. The mother and daughter don't even recognize you, and are trying to divorce you, but still, you want to hold on to your relationship and don't want to let it go. Why are doing that?" Hearing the words, Evelyn almost threw up. Not willing to let go just because he reminisced the relationship? The reason why he was unwilling to let go was probably because of the money! Even though she felt that these words were hypocritical, Forbos on the other hand was very pleased to hear them. So, he laughed and said, "After all, I am a good husband, and a father to this brat. Surely, I can't be too hard on
Hearing that, she could tell that Forbos's breath quickened. Looking back at the group of people standing outside the door, he whispered to Evelyn, "You promise to keep your word. Don't lie to me!" But Evelyn sneered. "What can I lie to you about? It's not like you don't know where I live. I can't hide from you forever." As soon as she said this, Forbos was convinced as expected. As she thought of it, legally speaking, he was her adopted father, so he was eligible to ask for money from her. If she didn't give it to him, he could sue her for abandoning him. Moreover, Forbos had been controlling her mother and her over the years, so he had gotten used to it psychologically. Obviously, his guard against them was very low. However, for the sake of his own safety, he decided to leave a way out for himself. "How about this? Tell me where is your mother, and when I confirm that there is no problem, I will let you go." In an instant
It wasn't until evening that Forbos finally appeared again. This time, there was no sound outside. It seemed that everyone had fallen asleep. In truth, Evelyn was not sure whether they had fallen asleep or left. In short, it was quiet outside. Furtively, Forbos walked in with a bunch of keys in his hand. Walking over, he untied the rope on Evelyn's body. As he untied the rope, he said, "Don't make any noise later. Just follow me. The car is parked on the road not far away. We will get into the car directly after we get there." The tape on Evelyn's mouth had already been torn off. When she heard that, she was a little worried and asked, "What about those people?" Suddenly, Forbos glanced at her. The glance was deep and mysterious. For some reason, Evelyn felt a sudden chill down her spine. It was like a cold and venomous snake, slithering onto her back. Then, she heard Forbos laughed sinisterly. "I've drugged them all and
