Chapter 186: Dead End
Evelyn shrugged off her hand, taking a step back. "So, you know him." She smirked, thinking Sophia had already informed him about Rodrick Igor’s arrival here.
Elias stared at Gracia for the longest second before turning to Evelyn. "Of course!" He curtly replied, his face perfectly hiding his real intentions. Sophia had indeed cried in front of him that someone from Igor’s family was here and they might come after them, but he knew things she had no clue about.
"And what’s the security doing there?" Avery barked at the entrance, before turning to glare at her assistant. The security team quickly rushed over, being informed by the front desk. Crossing her arms, Avery grumbled, "How can you let anyone into the building? Is this some public restroom?"
The team lowered their heads, trembling under their CEO’s glare. Elias was Grace’s brother so they didn’t stop him from entering the building.
"Why are you here?" Evelyn crossed her arms. It didn’t seem like he was here to talk about Annabelle again.
"Dad asked me to invite you for dinner tonight. You can bring your husband and kid." Elias replied, his tone making everyone frown. Did the siblings fight? Or were they on bad terms now after Annabelle’s incident? Many wondered but didn’t raise their voices.
Evelyn scoffed in disbelief. Husband and Kid? So, he wasn’t even genuine with Kiana? It ached her heart and she hated herself for it.
"She won’t step into that house again. Now, get lost." Avery was the one to reply, pointing at the entrance.
Gracia looked at Evelyn, wondering if she was reconsidering her decision because of her. It seemed so as she neither agreed nor denied the offer. No, if she didn’t wish to ever see William again, she wouldn’t force her. He had hurt her enough and it was totally understandable if she didn’t wish to mend things with him.
"Fine." Elias hissed before turning around to leave.
Avery glared at his back while Evelyn sighed, her mind mush again. Turning to Gracia, she held her hand and murmured, "Let’s go."
