Chapter 34
Was Evan being so clingy with her just because he wanted to be friends?
But, she was pregnant and had no plans for a relationship.
Even more important, the lives of rich people were way too complicated.
In the five years she had been with Wayne, she had seen too many tragedies.
She had no interest in living in such a chaotic situation.
“We’re done eating, let’s head home,” Rosalynn tried to ease the awkward atmosphere.
As she was about to continue walking, Evan grabbed her arm.
Rosalynn, shocked, glanced at him.
“Let the past stay in the past,” Evan said seriously. “What I want is the future.”
Rosalynn, scared, quickly pulled her arm away. “Evan, be more sensible. We are not suitable as a couple!”
“Why not? I think we’re perfect for each other!” Evan insisted.
Rosalynn was helpless.
“I’m older than you, and many people in your circle know about my relationship with Wayne…”
“I don’t mind!” Evan said firmly.
“I do!” Rosalynn got serious. “Evan, don’t you really know that you can’t make your own marriage decisions?”
Evan was stunned.
“I only followed Wayne because I had to. Now that he’s married, I’m out and so many people are laughing at me. I’ve been through this once, there won’t be a next time!”
“I won’t be like him…” Evan said hastily.
Then Rosalynn looked ahead, frowning: “That’s your car, right?”
Evan followed her gaze, and his eyebrows furrowed too.
They walked fast towards the car.
The silver SUV had all its windows smashed, and there were several dents’ in the body.
“Who did this?” Evan had never encountered such a thing.
Rosalynn, however, saw a paper on the shattered windshield.
She walked over with a cold face and took it down.
“Ms. Tesdal, just a small surprise for you. Hope you have fun in Q City with your boyfriend and don’t meddle in other’s business. Those who block others’ wealth might get killed.”
“A death threat?” Evan’s face darkened.
“Yeah, looks like it’s meant for me. Sorry to drag you into this,” said Rosalynn. “I’ll cover any damages to the car.”
“You’re the victim, why should you pay for it?” Evan was uncharacteristically serious. “Don’t worry, I’ll get someone to handle it!”
“It’s probably due to a project Bane Corporation has here. Don’t get involved, I’ll have the company handle it.”
“Wayne?” Evan blurted out.
Rosalynn sensed his jealousy.

“President Silverman wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters,” Rosalynn sighed. “Let’s call the police first.”
As Rosalynn predicted, the surveillance cameras on the scene were down, capturing

Mr. Lockner, who’s always had a smooth life, was furious.
After all the fuss, they returned to the hotel around 4 pm.
On the way back, Rosalynn called Sawyer Galen to postpone the afternoon meeting to the next day.
Evan, concerned for her safety, guarded Rosalynn to her room and repeatedly warned her not to open the door before heading to the lobby.
He needed to change rooms to be closer to hers.
As soon as he left, Rosalynn’s doorbell rang.
Assuming he had more instructions for her, she reluctantly opened the door.
“Mr. Lockner, you’re such a nag…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Rosalynn looked at the person in front of her, eyes wide open in shock.
“What are you doing here?”
