A chilling intensity filled his eyes as he looked at Caroline, who was crouched on the floor.

He directed a deadly glare at Mark. “Well, Mark, impressive, aren’t you? How dare you kidnap my woman?”

Evan approached him with a few swift steps, narrowing his eyes as he questioned, “So, you finally acknowledge that I’m your uncle, huh?”

Mark’s fear was palpable as he swallowed nervously.

me!”

Evan glanced at Caroline, who stood composedly at the side, and smirked. “Well, since you’ve been so considerate, I suppose I should show you some appreciation”

Turning to his bodyguards, he commanded. “Take care of it.”

Amidst Mark’s pitiful wails, Evan held Caroline’s hand and left the warehouse.

Once inside the car, Evan taunted her, “You certainly know how to use your charms.”

Caroline was taken aback, and her gratitude instantly vanished. She took a deep breath in secret and retorted, “Mr. Jordan, I should thank you for providing me with such an opportunity.”
