Holding the ring, Jonathan waved his hand , “Bring her in.”
Five minutes later, Evelyn walked into Jonathan’s office with a skeptical look.
Seeing Evelyn’s face, Jonathan, who had been pretending to be calm, instantly held his breath, and even his lips started trembling.
Frowning, Evelyn asked, “Are you Jonathan?”
“Yes!” Jonathan replied loudly, standing up from his chair unable to contain his excitement.
Looking at the man in front of her who seemed overly emotional, lacking stability, and even a bit abnormal, Evelyn deeply suspected that she had walked into the wrong place.
Evelyn slowly stepped back.
Jonathan was anxious to catch up, and Evelyn’s hand, clenched into a fist, was ready to attack Jonathan’s face.
Jonathan suddenly bent down, kneeling on one knee, “My master, you have finally appeared.”
Master??
Evelyn blinked, “What… What do you mean??”
Is he mistaking her for someone else?
For a long period afterward, Evelyn’s mind remained in a state of hazy and confused. It wasn’t until Jonathan explained the situation for the third time that she reluctantly accepted it.
This underground trading market was established by her grandmother, or more accurately, by her mother. After her mother’s unexpected death, it was handed over to her grandmother. Her grandmother passed it on to her on her deathbed. But in the final moments, her grandmother was already confused and didn’t explain it clearly.
The inheritance came out of the blue, and Evelyn was so surprised and frightened.
“Sorry, I need some time to digest this. I’ll contact you another day,” Evelyn said.
Jonathan watched her leave without insisting, he just whispered softly, “The matter with the ring will be resolved within three days.” Implicitly, he was giving her only three days to digest everything.
On the way back, Evelyn remained silent, and even Hector could tell that something was bothering her. However, the thought of Evelyn’s gaze resembling a grim reaper when facing William made him shiver, and he dared not ask a single question.
It wasn’t until the car entered the city that Hector asked, “Madam, are we heading back to the villa?”
Evelyn shook her head, “Go find Henry.”
When Evelyn arrived at The Wilson Group’s top floor, the employees had already left. Henry and David were also getting ready to leave.
“Did you have fun?”
Looking at Henry, all the troubles encountered in the underground trading market were instantly forgotten by Evelyn.
She walked to his side, nodded vigorously. Her expression was cute and innocent, like a cute baby. Henry embraced her, “Did you win?”
Unexpectedly, Henry knew about what happened on the second floor of the underground trading market. Evelyn felt a bit guilty and whispered, “I won a little money.”
Henry nodded indifferently.
Hector couldn’t find words to describe his current feelings.
David was curious and he asked Hector in a hushed tone, “How much money did she win?”
Hector’s mouth twitched, “She casually threw away fifty billion, and brought back over eight billion.”
“Eight… billion!” David’s eyes widened in shock, then, like Hector, he couldn’t find words to describe his current feelings.
Eight billion, and she called it winning a little money?
Evelyn nestled in Henry’s arms for a while and then raised her head, saying, “Darling, let’s go for supper?”
Henry lowered his head to check the time.
Evelyn grinned at Henry, swaying his arm, “Work is something you can finish at anytime. And it’s never-ending. But I’m busy, and I only have occasional time to be with you. Darling, you better cherish it.”
Henry stood up, holding Evelyn’s hand, and whispered, “What do you feel like eating?”
“As for where to go, I haven’t decided yet.” Evelyn frowned in distress, ultimately deciding to let David drive around, stopping wherever she felt interested.
Evelyn stared boredly out of the car window and finally was drawn to a training ground. “Stop.”
“Darling, that training ground, can we go in and have a look?”
“Madam,” David parked the car, “Madam, this training ground is owned by Noah.”
“Noah’s place?” Evelyn’s tone carried a hint of disappointment. She didn’t seem to like that guy much, and it appeared mutual.
She glanced at the training ground several times, ultimately convincing herself. Regardless of it being Noah’s, she could openly go in and have fun.
Noah happened to be at the training ground today.
Seeing the bodyguards who had accompanied Evelyn back, he asked, “What happened in the underground market?”
The two guards who followed Evelyn into the underground market looked at each other, silently wondering how to speak.
The other bodyguards, aware that their master didn’t like the woman, began to gossip.
“Is she scared to the core?”
“Did she act like someone who hasn’t seen the world before?”
“I heard she gambled on the second floor and lost terribly?”
