Chapter 41: You ‘re Quite Kind

Evans reacted quickly and chased after Jerry, but he was still a few steps away when the elevator door closed.

He quickly rushed over and pressed the elevator button. He stared without blinking as the constantly changing number finally stopped at 18.

Two minutes of waiting felt longer than Evans had ever imagined.

The moment the elevator arrived, he rushed in. While waiting for it to go up, he received a call from his assistant, Kevin, who had found Audrey’s visitor record.

The room she went to was Room 1802, and Linda was the one who booked it.

Evans didn’t immediately remember who Linda was, but his memory was astonishingly good, and he quickly recalled her as the girl who had stood beside Audrey the last time he met her at the mall.

He had seen many girls like that. They always thought they hid their thoughts well, but in reality, their expressions gave everything away.

He had witnessed Audrey and Linda’s confrontation at the mall, and since they had already fallen out, there was no need for them to meet.

After connecting the dots, Evans could roughly guess what had happened.

Jerry decided to work with Linda to take revenge on Audrey for rejecting him.

Evans’ eyes darkened as he instructed Kevin to call the hotel manager. If needed, he was prepared to forcefully break down the door.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Evans quickly stepped out. This hotel, like many others, was owned by the Hill Family, and Evans was the true mastermind behind the scenes. Having been here several times before, he knew the hotel’s layout well and headed straight for 1802.

He was tall with long legs, taking large strides and walking quickly.

When she saw the person standing in the corner, she almost didn’t stop in time.

The person he had been worried about was leaning against the wall, ear pressed to it, as if trying to eavesdrop on what was happening inside.”

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Evans sighed with relief, but soon, a sense of helplessness crept in.

“The hotel is soundproof; you can’t hear anything.”

A cold voice entered her ears, carrying a hint of complex emotions. Before Audrey could analyze them, her gaze landed on Evans.

She was stunned, her shocked expression evident.

[Why is he here? It can’t be just a coincidence, can it?]

Evans didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He only wanted to confirm Audrey’s safety and wasn’t interested in what was happening in the room. He said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you back.”

Audrey appeared troubled. Eventually, she said, “Mr. Hill, you can go ahead. I still have something to attend to.”

[There’s still a big show later. How can he leave just like that?]

A hint of helplessness appeared in Evans’ eyes as he asked, “Are you planning to stand here and wait?”

Audrey didn’t reply immediately. She had found it strange just now. Meeting Evans here could be explained as the two of them being fated to encounter each other by chance under such circumstances.

However, Evans’ reaction was a bit peculiar. He hadn’t asked why she was there at all and had even suggested sending her back.

“May I ask what Mr. Hill is doing here?” Audrey looked at Evans with suspicion. Evans paused, a rare moment of uncertainty. How should he explain this?

After a moment of silence, he decided to tell the truth. “1 happened to encounter Jerry while I was sending my partner to the hotel. I accidentally overheard his conversation and learned that he was planning to harm you, so I followed him to see what was going on.”

Audrey was even more shocked when she heard that.

[I didn’t expect you to be so kind.] Evans: “…”

He was so angry that his stomach hurt.

At that moment, he wondered if there was something wrong with his brain that had compelled him to rush over.

“After all, your brother and I have been good friends for many years,” Evans said, not entirely sure what he was thinking. Before he could process it further, the words had already left his mouth.

Audrey felt relieved when she heard that. It made sense. Without Abner’s connection, she couldn’t figure out why Evans would help her like this.

She might lack many things, but she had self-awareness. She didn’t dare to be like Linda, who believed someone was interested in her just because they gave her a second glance.

What kind of person had Evans not encountered before? She didn’t believe Evans had come here for her; it was highly likely it was because of Abner.

However, this could also potentially bring her trouble..
