Chapter 229 Not Be Swayed by Threats or Inducements
Evelyn took half a step back and pulled the half–drunk Grace behind her. She looked at them warily
and said, “I don’t know Mr. Harper you’re talking about.”
Unexpectedly, the man acted as if he couldn’t hear her at all and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Shelton. Please
cooperate.”
Evelyn took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. “I told you, I don’t know Mr. Harper. You
have no right to block me like this. Please get out of the way.”
“Miss Shelton, if you don’t cooperate, we can only take you there by force.”
As they spoke, they took a step forward.
Evelyn’s face darkened, and she looked back and forth between the strong men. She thought, “They
won’t be swayed by threats or inducements, will they?”
Behind her, Grace seemed to feel that the atmosphere at the scene was a little strange. She leaned
over and whispered in Evelyn’s ear, “Evelyn, what’s wrong?”
“It’s okay.” Evelyn glanced at her. “How are you? Can you walk on your own?”
“I can do it!”
Evelyn nodded and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, but her eyes were fixed on the

Grace couldn’t keep up with her thoughts and only knew to listen to whatever she said. “Okay.”
Evelyn looked at the three men in front of her again. After a few seconds of silence, she pinched
Grace’s palm and said in a low voice, “Run!”
She turned around, stepped forward, and gasped violently. The gentle wind that she had just felt blew
on her face was now like a blade.
The two of them ran as fast as they could towards the main road in the distance. Their lungs were
burning due to their rapid breathing, and their movements slowed down uncontrollably. However, the
footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer…
Evelyn used all her strength, but she still couldn’t break free. After running less than a hundred meters,
her arm was grabbed!
“Miss Shelton.” The man’s voice was still calm as if he hadn’t run away just now.

Knowing that she couldn’t avoid it, Evelyn turned around and looked up at the man’s face. Before she
could speak, something suddenly flew over and hit the man’s arm.
“Let go of her.” A clear and melodious voice sounded from behind her. It was so familiar.
Hearing this, the man immediately took a few steps back, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, “Mr.
Harper!”
Bert came from the dark, and every step he took seemed to step on the top of her heart. He walked in
step by step and finally stopped in front of Evelyn. He looked down at the woman’s slightly red wrist,
and his eyes were calm but cold. “Who asked you to touch her?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’m sorry, Mr. Harper!”
Bert didn’t want to argue with him. He waved his hand and the man stepped aside.
Grace blinked and then blinked again. She looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. What did this
mean? How could a super handsome man stop them here?
“I can’t stand it!”
Grace took a few steps forward and rushed straight to Bert driven by alcohol. She reached out to push
him but was stopped by the bodyguard next to him before she could touch him.
The man couldn’t control his strength and Grace cursed in pain, “Fuck, you’re hurting me. Let go of me!
Do you hear me?!”
Seeing that she was screaming in pain, Evelyn was also anxious. She looked at Bert anxiously and
said, “Tell them to let go of her…”
Bert just glanced at the side–leisurely, as if it had nothing to do with him. “Why?”
“Didn’t you hear her cry out in pain?”
“What does it have to do with me?” The man didn’t pity her at all. He didn’t care at all.
Hearing this, Evelyn was so angry that she felt a headache, but she didn’t dare to confront him in
public. She could only suppress her anger and try to say in a low voice, “Get someone to let go of her
first. We can talk about other things later.”
