Chapter 645
No.1
After hesitation: "...Show me."
———
The next day, the doctor arrived to administer Alexander's IV.
Evelyn checked her watch. "I'm returning to the office this afternoon."
"Busier than me?" He smirked.
Horizon Media's video division was in chaos. The Roman Young scandal had the "Lee faction" scrambling for information from Evelyn.
"I'll pick you up." Alexander brushed a kiss against her ear before leaving.
No.2
Her earlobe burned, but she had no time to retaliate.
———
Chaos reigned at Horizon Video.
"Evelyn, help me!" Wendy West clung desperately. "I bullied Roman with Xavier before, but I've changed!"
Evelyn ignored her.
"Please talk to Roman—he's so kind—"
"HR handles staffing." Her refusal was ice-cold.
No.3
Seeing pleas fail, Wendy's eyes flashed venom.
As Evelyn turned away, Wendy lunged.
"What are you doing?" A sharp voice rang out.
Evelyn sidestepped against the wall. Wendy crashed to the floor.
"Evelyn!" she wailed. "You won't help me, but must you push me?"
A crowd gathered.
Evelyn stared down coldly. "Who taught you that trick?"
No.4
Wendy paled.
Grabbing her collar, Evelyn hissed, "What did Isabella promise you?"
Wendy West's face drained of color, turning as pale as parchment.
Her lips trembled as panic flickered in her eyes.
"H-how did you..." Her voice trailed off.
Several unfamiliar men closed in. One seized her wrist while another pinned her shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Wendy struggled frantically.
No.5
She cast desperate glances at her colleagues, only to see them deliberately looking away.
"Evelyn pushed me! Why are you arresting me?" Wendy burst into theatrical sobs.
The crowd exchanged uneasy looks. Some shot disapproving glances at Evelyn Sinclair.
To them, this seemed like petty revenge from someone newly empowered.
"Evidence?" The restraining man spoke coldly.
Wendy pointed accusingly. "It was her! She pushed me deliberately!"
"Really?" The man smirked and signaled behind him.
No.6
A compact video camera was produced.
Wendy's pupils contracted violently, her body going rigid with dread.
"Impossible..." she whispered, her face ghostly white.
The footage clearly showed her lunging at Evelyn.
Gasps erupted around them.
"My God, how vicious!"
"Playing victim when she's the perpetrator!"
No.7
"I always knew she was trouble..."
The crowd clamored to condemn her, eager to join the moral high ground.
Evelyn watched the spectacle impassively before pulling out her phone.
"Call the police."
Wendy's head snapped up, terror in her eyes.
"Evelyn! I'm sorry! I'll confess everything!"
"Unnecessary." Evelyn turned to leave.
