She no longer wanted to have anything to do with him.
In fact, she no longer found herself as interested in him as she used to be.
“Let you go? Who the hell can stop me from feeling what I feel then?!” Paul cried painfully.
He didn’t like being so gentle, yet he also didn’t want Stephanie to hate him.But what could he do? He just couldn’t forget about her! Stephanie sighed.
“You can do it yourself.Think about it.Your only feelings for me come from me having escaped your hold, so you only want me back to feel satisfied.”
“It’s not like that, S—“
“I just really don’t want to be in a relationship right now, Paul.I just want to focus on my job and strengthen my family.Can you let me do that in peace? Please?”
Stephanie’s tone grew soft as if she were really trying to get this point across to Paul.
As much as Paul didn’t want to accept it, he could only sigh and nod.
“Okay.I’ll stop my advances.”
“Thank you.”
“But can we at least work together in business?”
Paul immediately suggested, leaving Stephanie speechless.
“My company is very interested in working together with yours on that project you’re managing.What do you think about a joint venture?”
Stephanie wrung her hands together.
She had been looking fora business partner for a while, and Wagner Group was an ideal match.
As if reading her mind, Paul added, “Putting romance aside, working with us is your best bet.I’m sure you’re well aware of it.”
Stephanie observed his expression, no longer seeing any amorous hints in those eyes as if Paul had suddenly become a whole different person.
“Okay.” She nodded.
Maybe purely business relations with Paul were the best option.
On the other hand, Eustace and Danika were on their way back to their apartments.
“Here.I got this for you.”
Danika gave Eustace a gift box, having bought it earlier at the mall after thinking it might suit him.
Eustace beamed.
“Thank you.I love it.”
“But you didn’t even look…”
Danika narrowed her eyes.
“I love it no matter what it is.” Only then did Eustace open the box to look inside.
It Was Evan
The box opened, revealing a delicate cufflink.
It was a deep blue shade, which suited Eustace very well.
Content, he smiled.
“It’s gorgeous.”
“of course it is.Don’t you know who chose this?” Danika asked with a hint of pride in her eyes.She knew it was perfect for Eustace the moment she saw it, so she didn’t hesitate to buy it.
“Well then, goodnight,” Danika waved at him before turning around to open the door.
“Goodnight,” Eustace replied.
After Danika closed the door, Eustace didn’t leave immediately.He stood still and gazed at the cufflink in his hand, his eyes deep in thought.
When Danika went to the hospital the next day, she learned that Yvonne had been discharged.She overheard some gossip from the nurses that Yvonne’s enemies had come looking for her.
Curious, Danika listened to the nurses’ conversation.It turned out that a handsome man had come to see Yvonne.
From the nurses’ description, Danika found him vaguely familiar.
After thinking for a while, Danika realized that the man the nurses described was very similar to Evan.
She wanted to believe that Evan wouldn’t visit Yvonne but couldn’t help but recall what had happened the day before.She realized she didn’t know much about Evan, so she went to the control room to find out who had entered Yvonne’s room.It was Evan.
Danika felt uneasy.
After leaving the control room, she called Gilbert and asked, “Gilbert…do you know Evan’s true identity?”
She used to believe that Evan had an ordinary job when he was overseas, but she didn’t buy that anymore.
How did he have so many subordinates? Coupled with what Zeke said, Danika guessed that Evan’s men might have been involved in Xavier’s case.
Although most involved had been captured, Evan still had so many people.
It only proved that he had many subordinates.
“True identity?”
Gilbert didn’t seem to understand what Danika meant.
“What do you mean?”
“Oh, I’m just asking.”
Danika could tell that Gilbert didn’t know more than she did.
“Is something wrong, Danika?”
Gilbert had been busy these days, dealing with company affairs as well as those of Zack and Janet Hale.He didn’t know whether it was Zack who was an idiot or if Janet was just too strong.
Despite presenting the evidence to Zack, his brother remained unmoved, making Gilbert anxious.
Danika didn’t want to worry him, nor did she want him to know too much, as it could be dangerous.
“Nothing’s wrong.Are you busy these days?”
She changed the subject in time.
Fortunately, Gilbert didn’t ask further questions, and the topic shifted to Zack and Janet’s issues.
“I don’t think Zack will give up easily.” Gilbert sighed, not knowing how to advise him.
Danika had no better way to handle the situation, so she said, “Take it easy.He won’t be able to accept it immediately.”
“I’m afraid he’ll stick to his decision, even if he knows who the other person is and shouldn’t be with her.”
He didn’t want to argue with Zack, but Janet was not suitable for him, so he had to speak up to stop him.
That could very well happen, but Danika and Gilbert knew that there was nothing else they could do except give him advice.
After ending the call, Danika rubbed her temples, feeling that she had been increasingly bothered by things recently, and hardly anything made her happy.
Danika decided she had to find a way to get rid of the bad luck that had been following her.
Are You Matchmaking Them?
Evan did not show up in front of Danika for the next few days.
Perhaps he didn’t know how to explain himself, or he never intended to.
Danika, on the other hand, didn’t bother to call and ask him.She decided to wait for him to contact her.
“Is Luke going to end up in jail just like that?” Danika still couldn’t believe it.
After all, he was a Quincey.
Zeke had abandoned him so easily, which surprised her.
Sitting across from her, Eustace put some food on her plate.
Zeke is not stupid.
Leonard is tightening the noose on this matter.
If he insists on getting Luke out, the situation might worsen to a point he cannot salvage.He can’t allow Leonard to escalate the situation, so he has no choice but to abandon Luke.”
There were too many dark secrets in the Quincey family, so Leonard could cause a lot of problems for them if he wanted.
Therefore, Zeke dared not act rashly.
