The woman wore no makeup, her face haggard and disheveled, entirely stripped of her previous arrogance.
Elara Don walked over and saw Evan Miles still locked in a standoff with lody Lane, frowned slightly, and directly reached out to grab her hair.
"Ah, it hurts! Let go!"
lody Lane, caught off guard by the hair pull, imdiately winced with pain, her grip loosening a bit.
"lody Lane, you feel pain too? Let go quickly."
Upon hearing Elara Don’s voice, lody Lane’s face turned again.
Elena Soo seized the mont she relaxed and hurriedly broke free from her grasp.
Evan Miles quickly pulled her into his arms, looking at her with worry, "Are you okay?"
Elena Soo, looking quite disheveled, shook her head despite it all, panting as she looked at lody Lane.
At this mont, Elara Don, seeing Elena Soo was safe, released lody Lane.
lody Lane turned abruptly, looking at Elara Don with excitent.
"Elara Don, you bitch, it’s you. You are the cause of all this!"
Elara Don stepped back two steps, afraid this madwoman might harm her.
Damon Hawke, who followed, blocked in front of her, looking sternly at lody Lane.
Elara Don’s vision was blocked; she pressed down her inner turbulence and erged from behind him.
"I caused it? lody Lane, how did I harm you? Clearly, it was you who repeatedly tried to harm , wasn’t it?"
Twice she nearly lost her innocence, and now lody Lane was turning the tables!
"Elara Don, wasn’t it you who hired those thugs? They not only humiliated but also made those indecent scenes into a video! You bitch, why do you do this to ?"
The thought of being surrounded by several n made lody Lane extrely agitated.
With a face contorted with rage, she lunged at Elara Don.
Elara Don was still pondering lody Lane’s words but was stunned as she saw her rushing madly towards her.
In a blink, lody Lane was kicked away, lying on the ground groaning in pain.
The person who kicked her was slowly retracting his foot.
Elara Don looked to the side at Damon Hawke, seeing his cold smirk and his intimidating aura.
"lody Lane, you brought this upon yourself. You should have thought clearly about the consequences when you wanted to harm her."
The man’s gaze was chilling, his voice cold as ice.
lody Lane lay on the ground, looking directly at him.
"It was you! You stood up for her? You hired those people!"
"That’s right! If anyone dares to bully my woman, I will make sure they pay the price!"
Damon Hawke spoke without concealing anything, coldly.
lody Lane struggled to get up from the ground, looking at Elara Don as if she wanted to tear her apart.
"Elara Don, you bitch, what’s so great about you? Why do all the n like you?"
Why does everyone want to revolve around her!
"Where’s the manager? Hurry and throw this lunatic out!"
Damon Hawke’s brows were cold and stern as he scanned the room.
The manager hurried in, hearing his words, and quickly signaled the security to drive lody Lane out.
He didn’t recognize Damon Hawke wearing a disguise, but he was overwheld by his strong aura.
"Let go of ! Don’t touch ! Let go!"
lody Lane scread hysterically, yet the security ignored her struggle and dragged her out.
The surroundings quieted down, and the onlookers returned to their seats.
Elara Don looked at Damon Hawke, her expression sowhat complicated.
Though unsure of the whole incident, from lody Lane’s words, she understood that soone hired people to humiliate her.
And the mastermind was Damon Hawke.
He was venting her anger.
She wasn’t saintly and felt that lody Lane got what she deserved.
But knowing Damon Hawke was behind it, she couldn’t quite describe her feelings.
With his dual identities, would he beco cold-hearted after mingling for too long?
He stood up for her because he treated her as his toy now.
If soone ssed with his toy, of course, he’d retaliate.
But if one day he tires of her, and she offends him, what would he do to her then?
For no reason, a chill crept into her heart!
"Elly, long ti no see."
Evan Miles looked at Elara Don, his gaze deep.
Elara Don snapped back and smiled at Evan Miles, "Evan, long ti no see. What’s up with you two?"
Did she just mishear?
lody Lane said Elena Soo was marrying Evan Miles?
"Elena Soo and I are getting married."
Evan Miles glanced at Elena Soo and said.
Elena Soo had just tidied her hair and attire.
She looked at Elara Don, smiling shyly.
"Yes, Charlotte, aren’t you surprised?"
She herself was surprised!
Didn’t expect to be getting married so soon.
All because of a news story!
"Well, it’s fate. Congratulations to you both!"
Elara Don was certainly surprised; after all, they should have had no prior connection.
But seeing them together, she thought they looked well-matched.
When fate arrives, there’s no stopping it.
She hoped they’d be happy.
Evan Miles said nothing, just kept looking at Elara Don, his eyes filled with unspoken emotions.
He wouldn’t tell her he was marrying Elena Soo only because his family forced him, and Elena Soo just happened to be Elara Don’s friend.
Since no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t marry her, he chose to marry soone close to her.
"Elly, aren’t you going to introduce ?"
Damon Hawke saw Evan Miles staring at Elara Don and imdiately wrapped her in his arms.
Possessively.
Elara Don frowned slightly, wanting to break free, but Damon Hawke spoke, "I’m Thomas King, Elly’s boyfriend; the kind that’s about to get married."
Elara Don: "..."
Who said they were getting married?
Does he have to act so presumptuously?
Elara Don glared at him fiercely, Thomas King returned a doting smile and held her tighter.
Why glare at him?
He was speaking the truth.
He definitely planned to marry her!
"Evan, Elena Soo, let’s get together soti. I have to go to work now, so I’ll leave first."
Elara Don couldn’t be bothered with Damon Hawke and bid farewell to Evan Miles.
"Okay, Elly, we’ll treat you to a al in a couple of days and give you the wedding invitation."
Evan Miles glanced at Damon Hawke, his eyes curious but refrained from asking more.
Elara Don nodded, quickly pulled away from Damon Hawke’s hold, and left.
"Elly, let’s go together."
"Thomas King, I’m going to work; are you coming with ?"
"..."
Watching them leaving one after another, Evan Miles’ gaze lingered.
Beside him, Elena Soo still felt pain on her scalp; she rubbed it, inadvertently catching a glimpse of emotions in Evan Miles’ eyes, causing her gaze to flicker.
Evan Miles had feelings for Elara Don; they once dated, which she only learned recently.
And now, Evan Miles was marrying her mostly because of family pressure and to rid of lody Lane.
Hmm!
Was she being used as a shield?
But she didn’t mind.
Because everyone has secrets.
She’s no exception.
