Chapter 229 Not Be Swayed by Threats or Inducements

Evelyn took half a step back and pulled the half–drunk Grace behind her. She looked at them warily and said, “I don’t know Mr. Harper you’re talking about.”

Unexpectedly, the man acted as if he couldn’t hear her at all and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Shelton. Please cooperate.”

Evelyn took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. “I told you, I don’t know Mr. Harper. You have no right to block me like this. Please get out of the way.”
