"So she was faking it?" Mark questioned inwardly. He turned to look at her properly and then he realized the loose shirt. Her pale skin was staring at the man. And her cleavage...?

That was not too good a sight for Mark. His jaws tightened. He shut his eyes to shield him from what he was seeing. He had a choice to shove the girl away.

But, Evan was also approaching. And Mark could feel the nervousness of the girl in his arms. She had no choice but to tug her face into his coat.

"Who is she?"

Evan didn't spare the chance to ask. Her face might be hidden but he was not dumb not to notice her features. It hadn't been long since they met each other.

"Her?... What the hell! " He scoffed irritably, "Of all people, how come she is here?" The displeasure on Evan's face was evident.

"Wait, you know her?" Mark inquired, surprised by the situation. While Mark was aware they attended the same school, Evan rarely acknowledged girls, let alone interacted with them more than once. He couldn't care

They had all been worried about Evan since they heard the incident that happened in the school.

    Upon releasing her hands, he gently cradled her face and locked eyes with her."It appears that we have located her," Chad stated.Marlie was shocked at this revelation.

It was necessary to verify if she was truly our Evelyn.""And now...?" Marlie inquired.Chad nodded. "Indeed, she is. The DNA results are a match.

Evan's eyes blazed with anger, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice."Evan..." Vien spoke, her voice filled with caution.Evan let out a cold, sardonic laugh that sent shivers through the room.

"Do you believe your petty attempts will grab my attention?" he sneered, his eyes flashing with annoyance.Angel's response was one of disbelief. "What?!" she exclaimed, her tone indignant."These desperate attempts... " Evan jeered, his contempt plain on his face. "You think you're the first to try to manipulate me?""Desperate? You?" Angel burst into laughter. That was mocking, her eyebrow raised in challenge. "You're one to talk, Evan Baristanas. You think highly of yourself." Her tone was laced with scorn. "I look for men, not a pretty, annoying girl like you!"Evan steadied himself not to react to being called a girl. But rather retorted. "I suppose you think my uncle will be impressed with something like you?"That was swift and biting."Something
