Chapter 363 363: He is with Jedrick for a reason

Stefan stepped out from his father's office, when a call from Eveline stopped him in his tracks.

He furrowed his brow and quickly answered the call; however, the words she screamed from the other end left him speechless.

Twenty minutes later, he found himself under a pair of scrutinizing stares inside a café, and he couldn't help but flinch in his seat every time he looked up.

"Care to explain, brother Stefan?" Eveline asked, pointing to the photographs in the guide, leaving Stefan in a quandary.

Eveline endeavored to keep her calm after losing her temper. However, it made a lasting impact on both men who had just fled from the gathering storm.

Stefan paused for a moment, yet Eveline's persistence encouraged him to share.

Stefan took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts, and continued, "He would give her drugs, exploiting her emotions. He deceived her into believing he was there for her until she began to rely on him emotionally. She believed Jedrick loved her, yet she was mistaken. One day, she overheard him conversing with his friends about his intentions to exploit her, and that was the moment everything changed. It was the first time since that incident that she attempted to end her life."
