Just as Charles stepped out, a loud thud sounded from behind him. Instinctively turning back, he saw Evelyn, who had been fine moments ago, now lying on the ground with her back to him. "Evelyn, I warned you not to use these low tricks in front of me."

Evelyn lay on the cold floor, her consciousness not yet fully faded. Hearing Charles' words, she felt a bone-chilling chill surge through her body. Clearly, he thought she was faking fainting to keep him there.
