The one who could ruin The Xander family in just a few minutes was none other than The Wilson family.

However, at this moment, the technician clapped his hands excitedly, standing up, “Got it, the
video has been recovered.”
The video was projected on the large screen, and everyone turned their attention to it. Only Evelyn, with a
glance at the time, realized there was still a one-second deviation from her set
time.
“How is this possible?” Isabella questioned her mother while staring at the video. “You said everything was taken
care of. What's going on?”
Isabella’s mother tried to comfort her, seemingly recalling something, “We beg Mr. Wilson. As long as they don’t

“Mr. Wilson, please, The Xander family is already in trouble. Isabella can’t afford any accidents.” Tears streamed
down her face. “Miss Taylor only suffered a scratch on her arm; she’ll be fine with srest. Isabella is different.
She still has a bright youth ahead. If she goes in jail, she loses her dignity, freedom, and pride.”
“Isabella, kneel down.” Isabella’s mother desperately tried to pull her daughter down.
But Isabella stubbornly tilted her head upward. Why should she kneel? Why should that woman be allowed to lie
in the arms of such an outstanding man while she had to kneel?
Henry's face was cold and aloof. He gently pinched Evelyn's finger, evidently leaving the
decision to her.
“If she had slashed my throat, according to your words
| would have only lost my life, right?” Evelyn sneered. “Mrs. Xander, didn’t your teacher tell you that being a
person means having the courage to take responsibility?”
“I... 1...” Isabella’s mother was seen through by Evelyn, and her face instantly turned deathly
pale.
“Mom, don’t plead with this wretched person. | would rather spend the rest of my life in prison.” Isabella pulled
her mother up and then glared viciously at Evelyn.
“It’s not justwho likes Lucas. Don’t think that without me, he would be yours?”
Evelyn want to slap her.

Seeing Henry's face darkening, Evelyn felt despair in her heart.
She was done, completely done.
The moment she was taken into the car, Evelyn distinctly felt the air inside frozen.
“Lucas?” The man suddenly spoke.

David, hearing the nLucas.... He and Evelyn were like grasshoppers on the srope- when one fell, the
other did too.
“Boss, | think...”
“Shut up.” The man’s sharp gaze remained fixed on Evelyn.
Evelyn went stiff, her head against the front seat, shoulders trembling slightly.
Was she scared?
Realizing this, Henry frowned.
Henry's large hand landed on the girl's slender shoulder. Just as he was about to turn her
around, a tear fell onto the genuine leather seat. The heavy and scalding drop struck Henry's
heart.
“If | said... | haven't, do you believe that?”
Evelyn spoke softly, intermittently, with a hint of grievance. Although her expression was a bit unclear, when she
unintentionally revealed the ring between her fingers, Henry's heart suddenly
tightened.
He still remembered the ring the girl had thrown away.
Wiping away the tears on Evelyn's face expressionlessly, Henry muttered, “Don’t cry”
Evelyn raised her head, her eye sockets even redder. She stared straight into Henry's eyes,

Henry's eyes suddenly darkened. The next moment, he pulled her into his arms, lowered his
head, and covered her neck.

When a girl says she feels wronged, shouldn't a man pamper and comfort her to improve her
mood?
Evelyn glanced up and saw that Henry was serious. She couldn’t help but sniffle and say, “I've already told them
that I'm married, that | have a great husband whom | love very much. But those three brats don’t believe me.”
“I'm good-looking, with a great figure. .” Evelyn lifted her head, rewarding Henry with a kiss on his chin. She
murmured, “You really have the best taste. No wonder | like you so much.”
Henry’s mind was filled with the phrase “liking you so much.”
He lightly patted the girl's head,
“Hmm,” Evelyn mumbled sleepily, appearing as if she was about to fall asleep. But actually, she felt relieved.
David, having overheard their conversation, silently gave her a thumbs up.
The madam’s skill in fooling the boss was truly top-notch.
