Chapter 195

Slap! Zachary Deross lunged forward and struck the man hard across the face.

His eyes filled with disdain. "How dare you insult Evelyn?"

"Using such despicable methods makes you the real disgrace." Zachary sneered. "Enjoy rotting in prison."

He watched with satisfaction as the police car drove away, then turned to Evelyn Roland with a bright smile.

Evelyn got into her car without a backward glance.

Zachary immediately dialed Sebastian Cortez. The CEO had given strict orders—any incident involving Evelyn must be reported immediately.

Adrian Valentine leaned against his car, lifting his bloodstained shirt. The gruesome wound confirmed Evelyn had shown him mercy.

"Evelyn..." He winced in pain.

Where was Julian Roscente? He called his assistant.

"Mr. Valentine, Mr. Roscente was drugged. Ms. Roland took him to the hospital."

Adrian hung up just as Evelyn's car made a U-turn. He followed discreetly, trailing her to the police station.

Evelyn glared at Zachary, who had curled into himself.

This idiot had already tattled to her brother.

"Boss, Mr. Cortez said—" Zachary's voice shrank.

"Wait in the car." Evelyn stepped out.

Adrian, Cassandra Valentine, and Vincent Ashcroft arrived simultaneously.

Vincent's face darkened. Cassandra charged forward. "Where are you hiding Julian?"

Evelyn smirked. "If I hadn't taken him, he'd be in your bed by now."

"That's a lie!" Cassandra shrieked.

"The hotel has surveillance. Let's see who really drugged him." Evelyn's words drained the color from Cassandra's face.

Vincent pulled Cassandra close, glaring. "Evelyn, feeling proud after cozying up to Sebastian Cortez?"

"Enough!" Adrian snapped.

Vincent fell silent, his expression stormy.
