The world spun around her before her back crashed against the wall behind her. Pain spread all over her body and made her gasp.

Yet, before she could recollect herself, the man’s intimidating aura rushed toward her like tidal waves.

The man then grabbed her wrists and held them above her head. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not get out of his grasp.

“Y-Y-You… Mr. Golding, let’s talk instead. Don’t come so close to me!” Angeline stammered nervously.

They were in a dim environment, but she could see the clear outline of his sharp features.

She could not help but tense up at his continuous stare as fear began growing in her chest.

Angeline could sense how dangerous Evander could be, so she quickly turned her head and averted her gaze from him.

“Ms. Sorelle, weren’t you doing all those things for this?” Evander asked, his tone flat.

His question made Angeline tense up even more. Her instincts yelled at her to retreat further from the man, but the wall was right behind her—there was nowhere else she could run.

“Mr. Golding, is there a misunderstanding somewhere? I’ll confess that there’s another reason for my presence here. I was scared that you’d put me on a blacklist. After all, barely anyone in Hallsbay is a match for you in terms of power. Still, my concern for Floretta is genuine. After all, she’s only a five-year-old, and there’s no reason for me to hurt her.”

Evander’s eyes darkened even more when he heard her mention his daughter’s name. Before Angeline could finish her sentence, his slender fingers gripped Angeline’s chin painfully, and he forced her to lift her head to look at him again.
