Liora sensed Tyler’s concern, so she didn’t resist and allowed him to hold her.

“Okay, I won’t cry anymore. I’ll stay strong and wait for Mommy,” she assured.

Tyler responded with a thoughtful “Hmm.”

At Muricia.

Evan exited the company, accompanied by a few dozen bodyguards.

Reuben walked beside him, sheltering him under a large, black umbrella.

The passersby couldn’t help but glance at the formidable lineup.

A woman in a hat stared at Evan, then quickly fled upon recognizing him.

Observing the fleeing figure, a vigilant bodyguard swiftly ordered, “Capture that woman!”

The closest bodyguard chased and apprehended her, bringing her to Evan.

Despite her struggles, the woman remained silent. Forced to stand before Evan, she lowered her head, avoiding eye contact.

Evan closely examined her and exclaimed, “Paige?”

Paige stiffened briefly, then replied, “You’ve mistaken me for someone else!”

Reuben chuckled. “Ms. Watson, you’ve exposed yourself with your French.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Annoyed, Paige thought, ‘I was so nervous that I forgot to speak Ylesirese! Forget it. There’s nothing for me to hide anymore now!‘

Paige looked up and met Evan’s eyes.

Evan remarked casually, “So you’re in Muricia, huh?”

Paige said sarcastically, “What a coincidence, Mr. Jordan. Did Carol not come with you? What’s with this grand lineup?”

“This is not a good place to talk. Let’s grab lunch together,” Evan suggested, making it difficult for Paige. to refuse.

She followed Evan into the car.

The bodyguards secured the private room’s entrance at the restaurant.

As they sat down and ordered their meals, Paige said, “Mr. Jordan, I have AIDS. Aren’t you worried that I might infect you while eating with you?”

Evan glanced at her and retorted, “Are you going to get your blood in my food?”

Paige asked, “Why are you traveling with so many bodyguards, Mr. Jordan? You didn’t need so many back in Cheasia.”

Evan then recounted the incident of the past two days.

Paige’s eyes widened in shock. “So, you abandoned Carol on the day of the engagement?”

Evan stared at her and remarked, “You’ve captured the key points quite well as the best friend you are.”

“Carol is going to be so disappointed! Couldn’t you delay it by a day?” Paige exclaimed angrily.

Evan explained, “Two of the confidential documents were stolen by the time I got here. Do you think I could afford to delay it?”

Paige replied, “You couldn’t, or it would lead to irreversible consequences.”

Evan shifted the conversation. “Alex has been waiting for you all this time.”

Paige lowered her gaze and said, “Ah.”

Evan frowned. “That’s all?”

Paige chuckled bitterly. “Or else? Am I supposed to go back to Alex? Do you think he’ll accept me in my current condition?”

“How do you know if he is willing to do that when you’re not him?” Evan asked. Paige took a deep breath, “I don’t know, but my conscience can’t get past it!”
