Upon seeing James Lockwood, Evelyn's heart skipped a beat in fear.
She had only seen James once at a banquet. Although they hadn't interacted formally, she knew powerful figures like him were absolutely not to be trifled with.
At this moment, even though he seemed to disdain her, his appearance here was surely for her!
Indeed, a bodyguard in black walked up to Evelyn and said coldly, "Please come with me to the car. The chairman wants to have a word with you."
"A... word?" Evelyn's voice was noticeably timid.
She looked around, but there was no one to rescue her; there were a few people nearby watching the scene unfold, marveling at the car with awe.
"Please get in the car with me!" The bodyguard's tone turned firm.
With no choice, Evelyn realized it wouldn't make sense if she tried to flee or refused to get into the car.
Besides, she figured she wouldn't be in any life-threatening danger, right?
At most, she would just be teased a bit by James Lockwood.
