There was dead silence coming from the other end of the line. Anya had hung up,

The moment had passed and was followed by the dull beeping of a dial tone. Evan leaned into his chair. He was still in the office. His eyes darkened. Eudora? An abduction? What was going on?

The young man was still for a few seconds. Then, he reached for his phone and was calling his personal assistant in the next moment. “Hayden, get the car ready. I’m heading to Anya’s apartment.”

Evan sounded really serious. Hayden had never heard him so stern before. The young man dared not drag his feet. He replied his boss immediately. “Of course, Mr. Welton, I’ll have the car ready right away.”

The young man did exactly that. Within minutes, a black Bentley slid out of the tower and stopped right outside the entrance of the building. All Hayden had to do now was wait for Evan to step out of Welton Group Tower.

Meanwhile, Evan was in the elevator. The young man stared at his phone as he texted Anya. “Ms. MacMillan, who took Eudora? What happened?”

After the text was sent, he sent another one. “Don’t worry. I’m on my way.”

The young man stared at the reflective surface in the elevator. He was thinking.

Honestly, he didn’t trust the results of the DNA test. He hadn’t found any evidence that proved that the twins weren’t his.

Until he found such evidence, he was going to treat them like his own.

That was why he was worried about Eudora too.

Evan mulled over the matter as he rode the elevator. It didn’t take him long to reach the ground floor.

The young man stepped out of the elevator and headed towards the entrance. Meanwhile, Sydney had arrived at the building. She had dedicated a great deal of time to her makeup today to make sure that she looked good. She had on a form–fitting dress that showed off her cleavage and her curves as well as her long legs. It ended at mid–thigh. The young woman was carrying a bento box as she stepped into the building in her eight–inch heels. She had prepared dinner for

Evan.

The young woman had paid a hefty sum to an employee who worked for the man.

She knew that he was going to be working late tonight.

She was right. He was still in the building when she arrived with her lovingly prepared bento box.

In fact, he had just arrived at the ground floor when she had stepped into the building. What a happy coincidence.

Sydney’s eyes brightened at the sight of the young man. Her heart began to race.

She lifted her arm and combed her fingers through her hair.

Then, she made a beeline for Evan. The young woman gathered her courage and raised her voice as Evan headed for his Bentley. “Mr Welton, are you heading home?”

Evan stopped in his tracks immediately. He turned and gave Sydney a look. His eyes did not betray any hint of emotion. Yet you could tell that he was a little annoyed. “Do you need anything, Ms. MacMillan?*

“Well yes. handsome.

actually.” Sydney stared at the dashing young man in front of her. Her heart wouldn’t stop racing. Evan was so

He wasn’t just handsome. He was also rich. His family was incredibly influential and powerful.

If he married her, she would become the wife of the most powerful man in Nordeny.

Every woman in the city would be desperately trying to get into her good graces then.

The thought of that filled Sydney with immense pleasure.

“What is it? I’m in a hurry.” Honestly, Evan wasn’t interested in what Sydney had to say. But she was an employee of his company. He couldn’t possibly brush her off rudely. That would tamish his reputation.

The young man tried to keep his impatience from showing in his voice.

“It’s nothing important, really. I found out that you’re working late tonight, Mr. Welton, and I was just thinking… that you might not have time to get dinner. That’s why I made something for you,” Sydney said demurely as she stuck her arms out and revealed the bento box in her hands.

Evan threw a look at the bento box. He wasn’t interested at all. “Thanks, Ms. MacMillan, but I have something to attend to. Since it’s nothing important, you can go now.”

Then, he pulled the door to his Bentley open and slipped into the car.

Sydney heard a loud thud as the door slammed shut. The next moment, the Bentley was speeding into the distance, its engines roaring loudly as it disappeared down the street.

The smoke emitted from the car’s exhaust pipe had the young woman hacking loudly for a few seconds.

She stared as Evan’s car vanished into the night. A deep frown creased her brow

She wasn’t going to give up.

She would have Evan. She would become his wife and the young mistress of the Welton family.
