Chapter 405: Make Him Admit Defeat
Chapter 405: Make Him Admit Defeat
"Hahaha—" Caden Lockwood suddenly burst into laughter, "Logan Shaw, who gave you such a high opinion of yourself?"
"It’s a fact." Logan replied confidently, "Mr. Lockwood, I was too weak before, which made Evelyn so sad. But it won’t be like that now. Even if she resents me, I’ll insist on bringing her back to me. I firmly believe that the man in her heart has always been me!"
Listening to Logan’s words, the veins on Caden Lockwood’s forehead throbbed, and he clenched his fists, restraining himself from punching Logan.
Resorting to violence now would only show fear.
Caden Lockwood wanted to win!
There was no way he would let Evelyn Morgan go!
He wanted Logan to lose completely and admit defeat!
"Although I’m not sure who gave you that kind of confidence." Caden Lockwood’s lips curved into a subtle smile, his demeanor under the night appearing exceptionally dangerous, "But I’m more than willing to teach someone as presumptuous as you a lesson."
"Alright!" Logan responded.
Before Caden Lockwood could speak, Logan continued, "Mr. Lockwood, Evelyn has already run off. Let’s both pursue her, and whoever catches her first will have the opportunity to talk to her tonight, while the other won’t interfere. How about it?"
"My wife is not something to be bargained with." Caden Lockwood’s tone flowed with intense disdain, "Logan, rest assured, you won’t beat me."
With that, Caden Lockwood strode off to find Evelyn Morgan.
Logan stood where he was, naturally feeling uncomfortable with Caden Lockwood’s disdain.
But now was not the time to dwell on his discomfort.
He had to find Evelyn Morgan quickly and comfort her.
Both Caden Lockwood and Logan Shaw rushed out in pursuit, but when they reached the intersection, Evelyn Morgan was nowhere in sight.
Caden Lockwood cursed inwardly: How did that woman run so fast?
Without saying much, he glanced at Logan Shaw not far behind him, drove off, and had his bodyguards track Evelyn Morgan’s location to quickly catch up.
Meanwhile, Logan also immediately called Liam Shaw, asking him to help find Evelyn Morgan’s location, and hurried to catch up.
Caden Lockwood and Logan Shaw seemed to be in a relay race, neither yielding to the other.
They both had the same thought: to be the first to reach Evelyn Morgan!
Meanwhile, after running out, Evelyn Morgan found that the beautiful lights didn’t captivate her at all.
She flagged down a taxi, unwilling to go home, so she directed the driver to take her to the liveliest place.
After getting out of the car, Evelyn Morgan looked at the largest bar in Atheria, and her heart leapt to her throat; the deafening party music seemed to shake her to another place.
She thought: It must be bustling inside!
She felt lonely and desolate inside, really wanting to go somewhere lively to feel the atmosphere.
Regardless of whether seeing others in groups while she was alone would make her feel worse, there would definitely be lots of alcohol inside!
At this moment, drinking and getting drunk seemed the best thing to do!
With that thought, Evelyn Morgan paid no heed to anything else; guided by her sorrow, it seemed the bar was where she most wanted to be.
Evelyn Morgan sat at the bar, directly asking the bartender for a pitcher of beer, and then began pouring it down her throat.
Ha!
What kind of men had she encountered?
How could Caden Lockwood be such a bastard?
Was she wrong?
How could she demand an explanation from Caden Lockwood, who was so powerful and commanding?
She should obediently keep all her doubts to herself and ask nothing; that would be the right choice, right?
But she couldn’t do it!
During the days Caden Lockwood disappeared, as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw his agonized expression facing the girl who jumped.
She tried hard to remind herself not to think about it, but still couldn’t help doing so.
