Chapter 324

"But it was you two who came together earlier. Yeah, it was Eve doing all the talking, but you knew all about it and you were in on it too. And now that it's all coming out, you're saying it's got nothing to do with you?" Hearing Asher's words made Alaric feel like he was about to lose it.

Evelina nodded obediently: "If Lemira insists on pursuing this, then let her come after me. Don't let it affect Alaric's future."

"Evelina, what are you talking about?"

Alaric couldn't believe what he was hearing. This whole mess had nothing to do with him!
