Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter 252

"Are you out of your mind?" Evangeline shoved Walter's incoming punch aside, her stunning sea-green eyes wide with shock.

"Don't you get it? That's your brother Alex behind me, and he's hurt! He can't move his legs and relies on a wheelchair to get around.

"Life's already thrown him enough curveballs. Why are you trying to add to it by getting physical? Picking on your own brother who can't even defend himself in a wheelchair, what kind of person does that make you?" Walter scowled, waving Evangeline off with a flick of his hand. "This is between me and Alex, step aside!" "No way!" Evangeline stood her ground.

"If I've seen it, I can't just ignore it. If you're dead set on going after Alex today, you'll have to go through me! Knocking me down won't cut it. You'll have to knock me out cold, so I can't get in your way!"
