Dahlia remained silent throughout. She leaned against Charles, and before entering, she turned back to glance at Evelyn, a small smile playing on the corners of her lips.

Aiden approached with an umbrella. "Ms. Evelyn, Mr. Jenkins asked me to take you home."

"I won't leave." Evelyn coldly refused.

After speaking, she ignored Aiden and quietly waited for Brooks.

Aiden couldn't persuade Evelyn, and called Charles. "Mr. Jenkins, Ms. Evelyn refuses to leave."

"Let her be." Charles' tone was extremely cold as he hung up.

Aiden left.
