Chapter 269 269: I will not leave this place

Eveline agreed to play along, as if she understood his intentions.

"Enough! I wasn't here to hear you criticize my father. I know what kind of man he is; you don't have to say anything to him." Eveline slammed her hand and stood, leaving Gabriel perplexed.

"Come on Gabriel lets go." She announced, seizing his hand and bringing him out of there.

Blake could only stare at them with incomprehensible emotion in his eyes till they vanished from his sight.

Meanwhile, Gabriel, who couldn't comprehend Eveline's abrupt shift in attitude, followed her out of the restaurant and into the car, only to confront her once they were inside alone.

"What was that?" He asked, staring at her with surprise.

Eveline gave him a harsh look before removing the note from her palm and giving it to him.

"This," she said, causing him to frown at her actions.

"The old man had a camera installed as one of his coat's buttons. He was warning us about being recorded. Blake gave Eveline a note under the table before leaving. She read it.

"I am sorry, but I cannot tell you anything right now. Because of what I perform, he will realize that I am attempting to assist you." She repeated the lines inscribed inside.

Gabriel exclaimed and took the note from her hand, rereading it.

"Damn, how are we expected to talk to him, and why is he trying to be cautious? Is he attempting to save you?" He inquired out of the blue, but it turned out to validate Blake's concerns.

"Perhaps he is. I could see the fear in his eyes. Despite his desire to express his emotions to me, he remained silent due to fear."

Eveline closed her eyes and drew a long breath.This wasn't as simple as she expected, but one thing was certain: the old man wasn't as aggressive as he appeared before them. He had so much to say but was afraid to reveal it.

'Who is the man behind his fears?' Eveline clinched her jaw in rage, her eyes darkening with an incomprehensible passion.

As they sat inside the car, Gabriel's phone rang, startling them, and he answered it.

"What is it?" He inquired, and the next moment his gaze became icy.

"Stay there; we'll be right there," he said, ending the call.

"What happened?" Eveline asked, her face pinched in confusion.

"Franklin attempted to flee after being alerted by one of our men," Gabriel remarked as he started the car and drove them to the Franklin shop.

As soon as they arrived, they discovered Franklin being detained by his men, and his face paled with fear.

"Who are you and why are you troubling me?" He questioned why he was being quizzed for no reason.

Eveline recognized the man was terrified and opted to talk to him instead.
