With a passionate kiss, he finally let her go.
He pressed the call button, and Evelyn’s terrified voice came through the speaker, “Leo, help me! I’m
on the highway and my brakes have failed.”
A shock ran through Leopold. “Have you contacted the police?”
“No, not yet.”
“Tell me where you are and then call them.”
“I’m so scared, Leo.”
“Don’t panic. I’m sending help.”
Aurelia took a few deep breaths before she could regain her composure. She didn’t dare to speak,
fearing Evelyn would hear her.
Leopold dialed Kevin, instructing him to send help to the north loop highway and assist the police in
rescuing Evelyn. After hanging up, Aurelia cautiously asked, “What’s wrong with Evelyn?”
A cold gleam flashed in Leopold’s eyes.
She simply couldn’t hold it in any longer, he thought.
“Stay out of it and stay home. I have to leave.” With that, he left.
Aurelia felt as though a storm had hit her heart. She had heard a bit of the conversation – Evelyn’s
brakes were failing. No wonder the big boss was so on edge. Her car was a luxury vehicle. How could
the brakes
fail for no reason?
Could it be… A chill ran up her spine, and she couldn’t help but shudder, too afraid to pursue that line
of thought.
Leopold’s bodyguards, all trained in special forces, managed to stop Evelyn’s car with the assistance of
the police.
The car crashed into a sandy construction site, the best option to minimize injuries. Evelyn had injured
her arm, but it was just a surface wound. Her bones were intact.
Upon inspection, the police discovered that the brakes had been cut. It was an attempted murder.
They checked the surveillance footage from the parking garage and quickly identified a suspect.
He was the brother of the hotel server who had died in the anniversary accident. He believed Evelyn
was responsible for his sister’s death and wanted revenge.
Soon, the news spread throughout the company.
During lunch, Aurelia and her team found a secluded corner to eat.
Darcy whispered, “I feel like there’s more to this. The competition for the CEO’s wife is fierce. It’s not a
position you can just waltz into.”
Aurelia had some soup. Evelyn and Elowen were both difficult characters. One was a master of
manipulation, and the other was ruthless. It was anyone’s game at this point.
“This doesn’t involve us. Let’s just sit back, enjoy the show, and eat our popcorn.”
Jenny gave her a knowing look, “Boss, aren’t you on team Elowen?”
Aurelia made a face, “In times of intense strife, self–preservation is important. We can’t afford to be
cannon
fodder.”
Jenny gave her a thumbs up, “Makes sense.”
At the Stirling mansion. Elara and Elowen arrived.
Upon hearing that Evelyn was unharmed, Elowen was absolutely frustrated.
Was this woman invincible? She survived even this?
Leopold played a recording. The suspect confessed that someone had approached him, informed him Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
about his sister’s death, and encouraged him to take revenge on Evelyn.
Kevin had identified the instigator – Helen, one of Elara’s people. Under his interrogation, Helen
confessed.
“Elara, are you trying to eliminate every woman in my life?” Leopold asked icily.
Elara’s face turned ashen, “The anniversary incident was a scam by Evelyn. Maybe she killed that
server to silence her. I merely relayed the truth.”
Leopold’s gaze was icy, “Do you have proof?”
“Although I haven’t found any evidence yet, I will eventually.” Elara said.
“I don’t believe in baseless speculation.” Leopold retorted, “Three strikes and you’re out. You’ve already
had two chances. There won’t be a third!”
He picked up the marriage contract from the table.
Elowen turned pale, shouting, “If you annul our engagement, I’ll kill myself!”
