Those who had been watching the show outside were petrified, taking a while to react.
“Is it true? Who is that woman?”
“Probably not an illusion. I saw it too…”
“Most importantly, Isaac didn’t dare to make a move…”
Hearing the discussions, an underling approached Isaac, “Boss, are we just letting this matter slide?”
“How could it be?” Isaac kicked Leonard, his gaze fierce, “Send the surveillance footage to David.”
“Just say… boss’s place got raided.”
In front of Henry, the underground trading market is not even worth mentioning. That nasty woman dared to act arrogantly in front of him, she had to be prepared to face the consequences.
…
On the other side, Jonathan drove the car out of the influence of Harmony Haven. He asked in puzzlement, “Master, you clearly knew Isaac was also involed, why not…”
Evelyn’s face was cold, “Given the former glory of the underground trading market, scheming against my mother wasn’t so simple. These two, in the entire conspiracy, are just pawns.”
If she decided to resurrect the influence of the underground trading market, those who had targeted her mother in the past would inevitably resurface. Isaac was the sole individual with a connection to her during those times.
“Have someone keep a close eye on Isaac. As for Zachary, he is not allowed to die before extracting some information.”
“Yes,” Jonathan nodded.
Evelyn stopped the car and went in the opposite direction of Jonathan. She passed through an alley, immediately discarding all the composure she had shown earlier and hurriedly ran towards the direction of the research institute.
“Gavin,” she dialed Gavin’s phone, “Prepare a computer for me as fast as possible. Don’t bother with too many details. If it’s not ready in five minutes, you’ll be dead.”
Five minutes later, Evelyn appeared in Gavin’s office.
“Fully charged, use it however you like,” Gavin pointed to the black laptop on the desk, unable to resist a gossipy expression, “So, are you being chased, or did you run into some bad luck?”
Evelyn’s fingers swiftly danced across the keyboard without lifting her head. She disdainfully said, “If you don’t want to die, roll away.”
Gavin was momentarily stunned, looking at the freshly replaced door, he pondered for a moment, and silently retreated back to his chair.
Changing doors was something he couldn’t afford. When this woman went crazy, no one could afford to provoke her.
Busying for ten minutes, Evelyn finally stopped. She stretched her arms and took a long exhale.
The computer screen froze on Harmony Haven’s surveillance footage. Compared to before, there were some jumps in the surveillance. Obviously, Evelyn had deleted some of the footage.
At the moment she saw Isaac, Evelyn remembered that Harmony Haven, belonged to The Wilson family.
After her rebirth, she lived a somewhat comfortable life, and she had forgotten such important information. She couldn’t imagine what kind of punishment Henry would impose on her if he found out she skipped work to go to Harmony Haven and cause trouble.
“Done?” Gavin cautiously inquired, “Can you talk about it now?”
Evelyn had no intention of hiding anything from Gavin. She brought up the matter of the underground trading market. When she finished speaking, Gavin’s expression had already frozen.
“Boss,” He lowered his voice, “I never expected your wealth to be so formidable. So, is it possible to get reimbursed for my million-dollar door?”
Evelyn replied, “No problem.”
Gavin was overjoyed, but before he could celebrate, Evelyn added casually, “Maybe one day.”
Gavin: “…”
Guarding the research institute was already difficult enough, why add insult to injury and be exploited. This wave of melancholy had not passed, yet Evelyn suddenly stood up and walked to his shelf.
“What… what are you up to again?” Gavin asked nervously.
“This mask is nice,” Evelyn replied, taking off a golden half-face mask. The mask had a special texture, feeling cool to the touch and extremely comfortable. If she took control of the underground trading market, she would undoubtedly have to interact with various factions. Her face was too easy to remember, so she needed to conceal it.
Evelyn put the mask on her face. Perfect, it fit seamlessly.
“It has been requisitioned,” Evelyn said as she stuffed the mask into her bag and then turned away without a second thought.
Looking at the empty shelf where the mask had been, Gavin couldn’t help but feel distressed.
The mask! Three million! It was the most expensive thing in his office. That stubborn girl Evelyn did have an eye for good things.
…
Evelyn was eager to get home to see Henry’s reaction.
What if Isaac had already sent the footage to him?
…
It’s getting dark, and there are no lights on in the bedroom.
Evelyn walked in, and her shoulder was suddenly pressed down. Startled, she was unexpectedly pushed against the wall by Henry.
