The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 217 Dahlia's voice was shaky with fear. This wasn't just for show; she was genuinely terrified. Never in her wildest dreams did she think Evelyn would track her down to Greenrose tonight. Was Evelyn really planning to end her as some twisted tribute for Charlie's wrongdoings?

Dahlia instinctively reached out for Charles' protection. But Charles' focus was elsewhere. He was staring at Evelyn, who was covered in blood. His eyes were wide with shock. For a moment, he completely forgot about Évelyn hurting Dahlia. All he could think about was why Evelyn was drenched in blood. Why did she look so pale? Was she hurt?

His first instinct wasn't to stand up for her but to worry about Evelyn! How could he?

His words were heavy with worry. He scanned her from head to toe, noting that there weren't any visible tears in her clothes. Not knowing where
