Chapter 388 388: You think she'll help us

The living hall of the Miller Mansion felt more like a courtroom, with Kaden as the relentless prosecutor and both Erna and Jonathan as the silent, watchful judges.

At the center of it all, under the weight of their stares, stood Eveline—the one being questioned.

"Tell me, why would you do that? Why would you drag yourself and Sherlyn into something so dangerous?" Kaden demanded, his voice sharp, his brooding eyes drilling into her.

Sherlyn stepped in quickly, her voice laced with urgency. "Kaden, I told you—it was my decision to help her, even after she tried to stop me!"

Eveline cast a helpless glance at her parents, who exchanged uncertain looks between their daughter and the man now cornering her.

Kaden had arrived unannounced, his presence commanding and unrelenting. Yet, instead of offering any explanation for his sudden visit, he had fixed his piercing gaze on Eveline and demanded answers.

Eveline sighed, her head hanging low. "Uncle, she already told you, so why are you making a scene in the house?" she asked, her voice laced with exhaustion.

Kaden stilled for a moment, stunned by her response. Then, a humorless chuckle escaped his lips.

"She might have agreed, but what made you come up with such a reckless plan without consulting the adults first?" His tone was sharp, his gaze unwavering.

From his seat, Jonathan arched a brow. Kaden being harsh toward his daughter wasn't something he would tolerate.

"Kaden, lower your tone. You're scaring my daughter," he warned, his voice firm.

Kaden looked at Eveline, his eyes narrowing. She appeared perfectly composed—completely unaffected by Jonathan's concern. A scoff left his lips.

"You really think there's anyone who can scare her?" he muttered in disbelief.
