Chapter 74

“I see.” Evelyn’s voice was lower than before. “You’re a sensible man. Though you’re not a qualified lover, you’re an excellent businessman.”

Christian only grunted and said nothing further as he continued driving. His fingers on the black steering wheel were alluring in the dark of the night as silence filled the car.

After a while, Evelyn turned to look at him and said, “You’ve broken Tori’s leg, had her imprisoned, and even prevented the Coleman Family from contacting her. No matter how deep your anger toward her was, you should be satisfied now.”

With his murky eyes remaining still on the horizon, Christian tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly, causing his fingertips to turn slightly white.

Evelyn received no answer from him even after waiting for some time, thus straightened up her posture and looked straight ahead. Under the veil of the night sky, her long sigh was tinged with a sense of resignation.

Inside the ward, Lucas returned not long after Christian had left.

If there’s nothing else, then you should leave. I don’t want to be explaining myself should dear Mrs. Spritz come here and think I was seducing you.” She treated him as though he was a stranger, albeit with much more hostility and aversion.

Frowning, Lucas said, “There’s no one else here. You can drop the formalities.”

Victoria only sneered as she continued to ignore him.
