Inside the room, Evan Miles was holding Elara Don as they both collapsed onto the guest bed, presenting a scandalous scene.
"Evan Miles, what are you doing!"
Damon Hawke’s aura instantly transford into sothing akin to an Asura from hell.
He strode forward, grabbed Evan Miles off Elara Don, and landed a fierce punch on him.
Evan Miles’ face was unnaturally flushed.
He stumbled and fell to the ground, and the pain on his face montarily brought him back to reason.
He shook his head, looked up at Damon Hawke and the surprised Elena Soo, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Mr. Hawke, why did you hit ?"
"Hit you? I’m tempted to kill you right now."
Damon Hawke glared at him coldly, ignoring him, and instead walked swiftly to the bed to help Elara Don up.
"Elly, wake up?"
The woman’s gaze was dazed, and her face was also marked by an abnormal flush.
This dreamy expression clearly indicated she’d consud sothing she shouldn’t have.
Instantly, Damon Hawke’s aura grew even colder.
"Mr. Hawke, you should quickly take Charlotte Soo to the hospital."
Behind him, Elena Soo’s voice reminded him.
Damon nodded, picked up the woman twisting around like a snake in his arms, gave one last glance at Evan Miles struggling to rise, and walked out in wide strides.
He made a ntal note of today’s incident.
Later, he would settle the score with Evan Miles.
Watching Damon Hawke leave with Elara Don, Elena Soo let out a long sigh of relief.
Luckily, she had heard lody Lane’s phone call.
And fortunately, she ran into Mr. Hawke.
Only then could Charlotte Soo escape danger.
But the person lody Lane called, was it Evan Miles?
It seed a bit illogical.
She had heard that lody Lane liked Evan Miles.
So why would she let the man she liked get involved with her rival?
Elena Soo was lost in thought and was about to turn around when she was suddenly grabbed from behind.
The man’s alcohol-laden breath brushed against her face, his heavy breathing echoing in her ears.
Startled, Elena Soo struggled desperately.
"Mr. Miles, what are you doing? Let go."
"No, you sll so good, help , I’m uncomfortable."
The effects of the drug surged once more in Evan Miles, his eyes glazed over, his mind once again not clear.
"Don’t do this, Mr. Miles, hold on a bit, I’ll take you to the hospital."
Elena Soo dodged desperately, but the strength between n and won was vastly different.
Evan Miles grabbed her, pressing her onto the bed.
Terrified, Elena Soo struggled with all her might.
At that mont, the door was pushed open from the outside.
A few reporters rushed in.
Clicks sounded incessantly, mixed with reporters’ frenzied shouts.
"Is it Evan Miles from the Miles Corporation and perfur Elara Don?"
"Miss Charlotte, don’t you have a boyfriend? Why are you in the sa room with Mr. Miles?"
"Hmm, seems we made a mistake, the one with Evan Miles isn’t Charlotte Soo."
"..."
At the back of the crowd, Cole Hawke watched the pair in the room, his brow furrowed deeply.
Why was the woman replaced with Elena Soo?
He distinctly rembered the person who went in was Elara Don!
Previously, when he had seen lody Lane tugging at a waiter, he had beco suspicious.
Detecting sothing in the drink given to Elara Don by lody Lane, he had devised a plan.
He had put sothing in Evan Miles’ drink too and then had a waiter notify Evan Miles at the right ti to find Elara Don in the resting room.
Afterwards, he anonymously contacted reporters, telling them that Evan Miles and Elara Don were in the rest room flirting.
Elara Don was sowhat of a celebrity now, and Evan Miles was also a son from a prestigious family.
Reporters were certainly glad to cover news about them.
Doing this served two purposes; first, to teach lody Lane a lesson.
Second, and most importantly, was that he wanted this news to stir up trouble, further inciting the Hawkhorns against Elara Don.
And to make it impossible for Damon Hawke and Elara Don to be together.
The plan was perfect, yet it didn’t achieve his anticipated result.
So, where did Elara Don go?
Hospital.
Damon Hawke had a doctor administer a sedative to Elara Don.
Watching the woman finally rest peacefully, his handso face took on a grave expression.
"Rhun Quinn, have you found out the result?"
Damon Hawke pulled out his phone and dialed his assistant, Rhun Quinn.
When he brought Elara Don to the hospital, he had Rhun Quinn investigate the situation.
He wanted to know what was really going on?
How did Evan Miles end up with Elara Don in the rest room?
Clearly, the two had been set up.
"Reporting to you Mr. Hawke, we’ve found out it was Miss lody Lane from the Collins Family who bribed a waiter to put sothing in Charlotte Soo’s drink."
At these words, Damon Hawke’s eyes narrowed, revealing a sharp intensity.
It was her!
It seed she intended to ruin Elara Don.
But why would she arrange for Evan Miles and Elara Don to be together?
This was not logically consistent.
"And Evan Miles? Was it lody Lane who spiked his drink too?"
"Probably not, the person who spiked Mr. Miles’ drink was another waiter, but that person has disappeared."
aning soone used lody Lane?
Damon Hawke narrowed his eyes further, unsure why the person behind the scenes would do this.
"How is Evan Miles now?"
"He was caught by reporters, seen sharing a room with Elena Soo."
Rhun Quinn responded truthfully.
Damon Hawke’s eyes darkened, thoughtful.
How coincidental that reporters managed to capture such a scene?
So, the person behind the scenes initially intended for Evan Miles and Elara Don to be caught together?
Why?
Was it to help Evan Miles, or for other reasons?
Unclear.
"I understand. Take care of the aftermath of the event."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Damon Hawke continued pondering today’s events.
The phone rang again.
Damon Hawke glanced at it, seeing it was Chase Quinn’s call.
"Speak."
"Master, our people discovered that the person impersonating a ride-share driver that night, attempting to assault Miss Elara Don, was instigated by lody Lane, and this person also belonged to your.second uncle."
lody Lane again!
That woman, repeatedly trying to plot against Elara Don!
Damon Hawke’s lips curled into a cold smile.
"Chase Quinn, since she loves n so much, toss her into a group of them, let her also experience what it’s like to be violated."
"Understood."
"And also, about my second uncle, report a few of his illegal business chains, give him sothing to deal with, remind him to keep his subordinates in line."
Anyone daring to harm his people would receive a lesson!
"Understood."
Chase Quinn hesitated, "But Master, your second uncle is ruthless and bitter. I’m afraid he’ll bear a grudge if you suddenly report his business chains."
"Then let him bear a grudge! After all, I’ve always been a thorn in his side."
Damon Hawke replied nonchalantly, hanging up.
He turned, looking through the glass at the ward, noticing Elara Don stirred slightly, as if she was about to awaken.
He quickly pushed the door and entered.
"Elly, you’re awake?"
Elara Don’s thoughts were a jumble.
In her blurred vision, the tall figure of a man appeared, accompanied by a gentle voice.
Elara Don moved slightly, instinctively calling out, "Tom."
