Audrey was stunned. When she turned around, she saw Evans, whom she had not seen for a long time, slowly walking towards them with his assistant!
Seeing Evans appear, Charlotte was also a little shocked.
The Lance family’s upbringing was extremely strict. Gary had once warned
Abner and the others not to use their family’s power to cause trouble. Charlotte nad always remembered ms words.
And today’s situation was a little special. Charlotte had long forgotten her father’s warning and only wanted to avenge Audrey. Who knew that Evans would suddenly appear?
Evans was Abner’s good friend. If he told her brother about what happened today… Charlotte immediately had a bad feeling.
As it turned out, Charlotte was overthinking.
Evans glanced at Fleming indifferently and said coldly, “Mr. Fleming, the Campbell family is one of the richest families in the capital. You’ve received an elite education. Aren’t you ashamed of what you said just now?”
Evans! It was actually Evans! The shock in Fleming’s eyes was obvious.
The Hill Family was the same as the Lance Family. They were both top-notch wealthy families in the capital, especially the Hill Family. They kept a very low profile and rarely appeared unless it was necessary. The last time Evans appeared in public was during the robot endorsement advertisement.
Fleming had only met Evans once at the company annual meeting last year.
Seeing that Evans had actually appeared in the mall and was even speaking up for the two detestable women opposite him, Fleming was furious. However, he could only suppress his anger and say, “Mr. Hill, if you understand the cause and effect of the matter, you might take back what you said just now.”
Evans glanced at Fleming indifferently, as if he was looking at a clown. “Oh? What did you say just now? Do you think I was wrong?”
“The so-called elite education… can’t even observe the most basic gentlemanly etiquette. Looks like the Campbell family is really declining day by day.” Evans’ words suddenly turned into sarcasm.
“You!” Liz’s eyes instantly widened!
When she saw this man just now, she thought that his looks were outstanding —not inferior to Frank’s!
However, his words were even harsher than the words of the women in the slums who scolded each other on the streets! It even involved their Campbell family!
Liz was furious and wanted to retort Evans angrily, but Fleming stopped her.
“Brother, what are you doing?” Liz looked shocked.
She did not understand why her brother, who had always been domineering, was like a coward at this moment. Shouldn’t he retaliate fiercely against this detestable fellow in front of her?
Fleming shook his head silently at Liz and gestured for her to leave with him.
Liz was surprised, but she, who was good at reading people, quickly realized that something was wrong. She shot a hateful look at Charlotte and Audrey before leaving with Fleming.
These two annoying fellows have finally left. Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.
“Are you alright?” Evans turned his head and glanced at Audrey.
Audrey shook her head. “It’s nothing. I just had a little argument with them.”
Charlotte glanced at Evans and suddenly smiled. “I remember that I still have some things to do, so I’ll leave first.”
What? Charlotte wants to leave first? Audrey was alarmed as she subconsciously wanted her to stay.
At this moment, Evans seemed to have noticed her awkwardness and smiled to help her out. “Since the two of you are here, I have something to tell you. Why don’t we find a cafe to sit for a while?”
Since Evans had said so, Charlotte naturally would not disrespect him. Hence, she nodded and said, “Okay.”
Audrey could only nod as well. Her recent interactions with Evans… were really a little strange.
The few of them arrived at a high-class cafe. Evans ordered coffee for them and said to them, “What do you think of the crystal chandelier incident last time?”
The crystal chandelier incident? Audrey and Charlotte looked at each other before looking at Evans.
Evans continued, “Logically speaking, the organizers received a lot of sponsorship money for that charity banquet. Due to the significance of the banquet, the staff would have checked the infrastructure more carefully. However, coincidentally, a chandelier fell. Have you ever thought that this might not be an accident?”
It wasn’t an accident? Charlotte was stunned.
Audrey’s heart gradually sank.
Evans was right. Everything was not an accident..
