As Angeline listened to his words, for some reason, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

“Are you crying?”

“I am not,” Angeline denied stubbornly. She turned her head away and wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

Seeing the confrontational look on Evander, she took a deep breath before explaining faintly, “Officer Lacroix has shown me all the information. I found that Delroy Quast was also a victim of the car accident back then. No, scratch that. There’s a possibility that he was the perpetrator…”

She suddenly remembered that when she left the hospital, she inadvertently saw Darlene and Acacius Quast acting suspiciously, so she was certain that they knew something.

“So you went all out at the considerable risk of hurting yourself? Don’t you find this kind of action foolish?” Evander questioned.

His extremely blunt words made Angeline bow her head as mixed feelings surged within her.

“I didn’t expect Delroy’s wife to be so aggressive. I didn’t expect you’d come as well.”

“You’re the spokesperson of Starlight Jewelry. It was right for me to come and take a look to avoid you getting yourself into another issue. Luck won’t be on your side all the time,” Evander said matter-of-factly, as though it was the whole truth.

But Angeline was no longer a newbie in the entertainment industry. She knew that this kind of matter was usually handled by the public relations of an artist’s company. There was no way Evander should be involved in this.

I guess he is truly worried about me since he came all the way here.

What Evander had done warmed Angeline’s heart. After calming herself down, she said, “Don’t you worry. I didn’t expose my identity, and I won’t cause scandals that affect the viewership…”

“Whatever.”

After saying that, Evander went to the policeman on duty and signed the paper before taking her by the arm, planning to head to the exit.

Angeline widened her eyes in surprise and stopped in her tracks. “Wait. Are you taking me home?” she asked in a hushed tone.

“Duh. Are you planning to stay here?” Evander replied curtly, pointing out her intention.
