Noah Grant drove Evelyn to the square. Alexander Sterling’s men were already there, waiting to meet her. Evelyn was about to get out of the car. Noah stopped her. Evelyn turned to look at him. “Evelyn, no matter what happens, remember to protect yourself,” Noah said, his eyes fixed on her. Evelyn nodded and answered seriously, “Thank you, Noah.” Then she opened the door and stepped out. Now wasn’t the time for a proper thank you. She would find a chance later to express her gratitude for his help. The man who came to pick up Evelyn nodded politely at Noah. Then he escorted Evelyn into another car. Both cars quickly disappeared from Noah’s sight. Noah sat in the driver’s seat. He didn’t start the engine. He just watched the car carrying Evelyn vanish into the distance. He didn’t know if Evelyn’s life was happy or not. But even if she wasn’t happy, he couldn’t pull her out of her current predicament. That was what made him feel so helpless. When you weren’t strong enough, most of the time you could only stay at the level of ideas. There was nothing you could actually do. When he got the call from Charlotte, he had been preparing for an important meeting. On the other end of the phone, Charlotte told him that Evelyn was being followed near the hospital close to his company. It might be dangerous. He didn’t hesitate for a second. He grabbed his phone and car keys and ran out of the company. Even though Evelyn was now someone else’s wife, when he knew she was in danger, he wouldn’t turn back. It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about letting go. But sometimes, letting go wasn’t that easy. So the best way was not to disturb. To silently care for her in his heart.
Evelyn got into the car with the man who came to pick her up. The car didn’t drive back to Sterling Manor. Instead, it headed to another place. The man in the passenger seat turned around and introduced himself. He said his name was Liam Brooks. He worked directly under Alexander Sterling. He would be responsible for her safety in the coming days. At the same time, he asked her to hand over her phone for inspection. Evelyn had no choice but to give him the phone she had been holding. Liam scanned the phone carefully. Then he took it apart and checked every component. After confirming there was no problem, he returned the phone to Evelyn. Then he handed her another phone. “Mrs. Sterling, Mr. Sterling will contact you through this phone in the coming days,” he said. “Okay, thank you,” Evelyn replied. She turned to look out the window. She realized they weren’t heading back to the manor. Evelyn was about to ask Liam where they were going. Just then, the phone Liam had just given her rang. Evelyn saw Alexander Sterling’s number on the screen. She picked it up. “Alexander, I’m already in the car,” she said. “I asked Liam to take you to the villa,” Alexander explained on the other end. “Stay there for a few days. I’ll deal with things when I get back.” “Can’t I just go home? I won’t go out,” Evelyn asked hesitantly. “I’m worried the manor isn’t safe right now,” he said. “I’m sorry to put you through this, but please stay at the villa for a few days.” “Oh,” Evelyn answered quietly. “Grace Miller will come to keep you company,” Alexander continued. “Tell her whatever you need.” “I’m fine. Don’t bother Grace,” Evelyn said. “I’ll feel better knowing someone is taking care of you,” he insisted. “I’ll handle things here and be back in two days.” “Take your time. It’s okay. I’ll just go home,” Evelyn said. “Just be careful yourself. You should be careful too.” “If you’re safe, I’ll be fine,” Alexander replied on the other end. Evelyn’s heart warmed. She answered in a low voice. She had wanted to ask Alexander what was going on. But she still felt it was inconvenient. In the end, she didn’t ask. Evelyn obeyed Alexander’s arrangement and went to the villa. But this villa wasn’t the one she had lived in with Alexander before. It was located in a different villa community. Liam told her that in the coming days, he and several colleagues would protect her around the clock. She could rest assured. If she needed anything, she could just dial 1 to contact him directly. In an emergency, she could press the red button in the room. Every room had one. He also explained that during this period, it was best to turn off her personal phone and stop using it. If she needed to contact anyone, she could use the new phone. Evelyn listened carefully and nodded in agreement. It seemed more serious than she had imagined. Until this moment, she felt a little scared. If she hadn’t come downstairs for a walk on a whim. If Lily Thompson hadn’t gone to the bathroom and she hadn’t found a place to sit down and rest. Maybe she wouldn’t have heard that person’s call. She wouldn’t have noticed anything unusual. She couldn’t imagine what kind of dangerous situation she would have fallen into if she hadn’t noticed the abnormality and left in time. Obviously, the other party’s purpose wasn’t to hurt her. It might be to threaten Alexander through her. Or it might be to kidnap her and blackmail Alexander. Either way, it could be fatal to her. Suddenly, she felt very afraid.
After arriving at the villa, Liam briefly introduced the layout. She could move freely inside the villa. But she should try not to go outside. Currently, they didn’t know the other party’s purpose or what action they would take next. So they had to avoid any possibility of danger. Evelyn nodded and agreed. “Mrs. Sterling, if you have nothing else to do, you can rest first,” Liam said. “Grace Miller will be here soon. She will take care of your daily needs.” “Okay, thank you,” Evelyn said. “It’s my duty,” Liam replied. Evelyn went upstairs. After such a scare, she now relaxed and realized she was already drenched in cold sweat. Whether she wanted to rest or not, she wanted to take a shower first. After entering the bedroom, she found that the design here was very similar to Sterling Manor. It was clearly Alexander’s favorite style. After entering the bathroom to wash, she realized she didn’t have her own clothes here. She had to go to the dressing room to find a suit of Alexander’s clothes to make do. When she opened the wardrobe, she found women’s clothes inside. And they were all brand new. Evelyn stared blankly for a long time. Then she picked a loose, comfortable one to change into. It was her own size. It fit perfectly. The uneasiness in her heart seemed to disappear all at once. Just now, she had been thinking that this might be a place where Alexander hid someone else. But the clothes on her body were clearly purchased according to her figure. And they fit just right. Grace O’Sullivan was taller and thinner than her. Her clothes were different in style. These clothes were obviously not suitable for her. Evelyn didn’t know why there were new clothes specially prepared for her. It was obvious that Alexander hadn’t prepared them in advance because he had a premonition that she would come here one day because she was almost kidnapped. But the specific reason could only be asked when Alexander came back.
