Her smile was strained. "It was a joke, you know? You're not going to go around repeating it, are you?"
Wyatt Walsh nodded. "Of course. I never speak nonsense."
Evelyn Grant hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when his voice continued, "I will only report the truth to Mr. Keaton."

Her smile vanished, leaving her speechless for a moment.

Besides, he knew about Liam Aldrin.
When he went to the Aldrin Family's home back then, he must have investigated the Aldrin and Grant families inside and out. He knew her history with Liam Aldrin like the back of his hand.
'I've been under his complete control for a long time now.'
Evelyn Grant recalled something. "You lied to me before. You said Mr. Keaton was often on international visits and that his days in Veridia were few and far between."
