Evangeline had delicate skin, so the slap had her face swelling at lightning speed. That aside, it even broke her skin.

Lifting her left hand, Anne slapped Evangeline hard on the other side of her face. The two slaps disheveled Evangeline's hair, and she couldn't quite turn her head back right away.

Johanna watched that scene, her expression solemn and grim.

She had provoked Evangeline because she wanted to sow discord in her relationship with Zephyr. As long as the latter were to make a move against her out of anger again, she would have the opportunity to escape.

Unexpectedly, Zephyr did exactly what she wanted and even had Anne slap Evangeline.

Evangeline is a member of the Sheraton family and his fiancée. Why did he avenge me instead of defending her?

She didn't believe that he did so out of love for her, but she couldn't fathom his motive either.

After Evangeline was slapped, Zephyr waved a hand, signaling for the bodyguards to take her away.

The bodyguards dragged her out of the house and stuffed her into a car before instructing the driver to send her back.


The driver had just left the castle and was heading toward the city when a few on-coming cars switched lanes and surrounded him.

When he spotted a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes getting out of one of the cars, he didn't dare make any rash moves.

He recognized the man.

The man hurried over and opened the car door. As soon as his eyes fell on the unconscious Evangeline in the backseat, his expression changed drastically.

“Evie...”

Only when Alston had brushed her hair away did he notice that her cheeks were red and swollen. On top of that, splotches of blood marred them. He hastily carried her out of the car.

Right after he got into his car, Frank immediately closed the car door for him.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Alston carried Evangeline to the ward and had the best dermatologist come over to treat her injuries.

Evangeline's skin was delicate. She started shrieking in pain once the salve came into contact with her injuries. Clutching her hand, Alston brought it to his lips and dropped a kiss on it.

“Bear with it for a bit, Evie. You'll be fine after applying some salve.” He kissed her hand incessantly.

Evangeline was in such excruciating agony that she wept and shook her head, refusing to allow the doctor to apply the salve on her. Having no other recourse, Alston could only lean over and gather her into his arms, holding her head in place.

Evangeline had never been hit or slapped since young.

Her bloody cheeks were like a knife to Alston's heart, yet he could only kiss her on the forehead in consolation. “I'll kill him. I'll definitely finish him off!”

The doctor spent half an hour applying salve on both sides of her cheeks. When he finished doing so, he left the room.
