Chapter 699 Adam’s Interrogation On Evelyn “I didn’t rat you out.” Alana said, “I will shoulder the responsibility alone.”

“Alana.” Evelyn sobbed, “Thank you!”

“No need to thank me.” Alana added, “I have saved you to give myself a chance. Save me when the opportunity arrives!”

“I…” Evelyn said anxiously, “Can I do it?”

“Yes, you can totally do it when the opportunity is right. Why do you hesitate?”

Alana grunted coldly, “Don’t you want me to keep quiet? Do you want to have Mr. Adam throw you into this place? You’ve seen for yourself. There are rats, centipedes, and cockroaches in this dungeon.”

“Ah!” Evelyn’s heart raced in fear, “I don’t want to be thrown into this place again. I will find a chance to save you.”

“Keep your promise.” Alana said sternly, “Don’t let me down!”

“Yes, yes!” Evelyn quickly ended the phone call.

Evelyn was terrified to find out that Adam locked Alana up.

What if Adam confronted Evelyn? Would Evelyn be in big trouble?

Evelyn was lucky to have Alana helping her.

Evelyn placed her hand on her chest. As soon as Evelyn pressed the locked screen on her phone, the screen lit up again in an instant.

“Ring!” Evelyn almost threw her phone away after being startled by the ringtone.

Evelyn looked down, and she saw that the incoming phone call was from Adam!

“Ah!” Evelyn threw her phone away this time.

“Ring!” The phone kept ringing on the carpet.

Evelyn took a deep breath. She squatted down, and she carefully picked up the phone. Her trembling finger reached for the button to answer the phone call.

Evelyn was afraid to pick up Adam’s phone call, but she didn’t dare ignore it!

“Mr. Adam “Meet me at Avalan!”

Adam’s low, menacing voice was devoid of any emotion.

“Avalan?” Evelyn shuddered, “Now?”

“Right now!”

“I…”

“Don’t make me send someone to drag you from Flynn’s place!” Adam sneered, “You know the consequences!”

“Yes, Mr. Adam. I will be there right away!”

“Hmph!” Adam ended the phone call.

Did Adam find out about it already?

Evelyn’s heart palpitated wildly.

What should I do?

Evelyn knew she couldn’t run away no matter what.

Evelyn broke out in a cold sweat, and her palms were sweaty.

Despite this, Evelyn changed her outfit, and she applied some simple makeup.

Evelyn’s left hand was aching because she lost her pinky finger. That made it difficult for her to grip the steering wheel steadily.

As a result, Evelyn had to call for a taxi.

Evelyn arrived at the Avalan Mansion. She saw Adam casually sipping red wine.

“Mr. Adam.” Evelyn walked in, and she approached Adam in trepidation.

Evelyn’s petite figure was trembling.

“Are you scared?” Adam grunted coldly.

“No, I have nothing to be scared of.”

“Are you sure? Why are you trembling?”

“I…forgot to put on my jacket, and I’m feeling a bit cold.”

Evelyn was in a hurry, so she had indeed forgotten the jacket.

Splash! Adam splashed a glass of red wine on Evelyn’s face.

“Mr. Adam!” Evelyn was terrified, “What are you doing?”

“Oh. You’re a stubborn one!” Adam narrowed his eyes, “Spit it out! What have you done behind my back?”

Evelyn’s face turned pale.

Does Adam already know? Or is he testing me?

“Tell me!” Adam shouted, “What are you waiting for?”

“Mr. Adam.” Evelyn trembled, “I don’t know what you are talking about!”

“I’m asking you.” Adam said coldly, “Are you involved in Alana’s kidnap of Emmeline?”

“I didn’t!” Evelyn denied firmly, “How could I?”

“Are you sure?” Adam sneered, “If you’re not involved, how can you answer so swiftly? It shows that you’re already aware of it. Who told you about it?”

Evelyn quickly took out her newly bought phone, “I saw the trending news from Mr. Benjamin of the Adelmar Group claiming that something happened to Emmeline.”

“Are you sure you’re not lying to me?“Adam’s face darkened.

Evelyn felt uneasy, but she continued, “Out of everyone else, I wouldn’t dare to lie to Mr. Adam.”

“Do you know the consequences of lying to me?” Adam sneered.

“I’m not lying. Mr. Adam, you have to believe me.”

“Alright.” Adam opened his palm toward Evelyn before saying, “Come here.”

Evelyn thought the matter was over like last time. Adam would do the same thing again to her.
