The moment Jacob stepped out of the residential area, reporters swarmed out from the van and from behind the flower beds to chase him with their cameras.

Evander’s plan had succeeded.

However, Angeline was concerned for Jacob’s safety. She was even more worried about affecting Jacob’s career.

Traces of concern lined her face as she turned to look at Evander. “Are you sure Sylas will pick him up?”

“Of course. Do you not trust my subordinate?” Evander replied with a question. A hint of iciness could be detected in his tone.

“That’s not what I meant. Who could possibly do something better than you when you’re personally in charge of it?” The corners of Angeline’s lips curved upward in gratitude. “Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience caused.”

With that said, she peered out the window and looked down at Jacob. A man in a suit escorted him into a car and drove him out of the residential area through the back entrance.

“Thank goodness! We’re saved!” exclaimed Angeline. Joy was written all over her face.

Evander, on the other hand stared at her side profile in a daze.

Angeline was wearing a casual outfit at present. Compared to her stunning look in front of the camera, she looked a lot more approachable at that moment. Her hair was tied into a messy bun, and the light makeup she had put on accentuated the tenderness of her features.

After a short moment of observing her, Evander shifted his gaze to look away. “Don’t celebrate just yet. More troubles are waiting.”

“What do you mean?” Angeline turned to look at him, confused.

“Do you really think the reporters wouldn’t come back the moment they realized that they couldn’t get any scoop from Jacob?” Evander reminded her in a flat tone. “You’re way too naïve!”

Evander’s words were like a punch to Angeline’s gut, causing her to feel tense and anxious again.

Slapping her forehead in exasperation, she had no idea what to do. “In that case, I’ll go pack my stuff and stay in a hotel for the time being.”

Evander regarded her and shot that idea down ruthlessly. “That’s not going to work. Do you think the reporters are idiots?”

That’s right! All of the high-class hotels will be flooded with reporters by now!
