Every lady liked being complimented by a guy. She was the same. Evan chuckled too. Though she wasn’t as quiet type. He liked a woman like Fliza more.

He looked at the kind Eliza and said cheerfully, “Eliza, though you’re the one interfering with their relationship, it’s not your fault. Derick was the one who fell for you. If someone’s to blame, it’s him. Don’t feel bad about it ”

After all, the one who hurt Scarlett was Derick

Eliza pretended to lower her head in remorse. She fell silent. Tonight at 1:00 am, she had to get Scarlett to make a move. Derick’s expression darkened. The atmosphere became heavy.

Evan could feel his anger too. He kept silent.

He looked at Derick and said, “Right. Derick, I heard that East Organization’s CEO, Liam, will be coming. Didn’t you want to talk to that lady? You could get to her via him

“You’ve got to secure the new energy project collaboration with Faust Organization.”

Scarlett looked up and asked, “Has Liam arrived?”

“I didn’t see him, so probably not. He’ll send a text when he gets here”

Cindy couldn’t find any trace of Liam.

“I’ll get you something to eat, boss.”

Scarlett didn’t feel like eating. It was quiet here. She just wanted to sit here for a while.

But, she got a call from Ivan. She stood up and said, “I’m not hungry. I’ll go to the lounge to answer a call. Text me when the banquet begins.”

Got it, boss,” Cindy said.

She sat down and called Iven back

“!” she said cheectully.

Apained expression was plastered on her face.

“Yeah, Iven. I don’t want to reveal my identity just yet. I want to look into Alex’s death. It’s been four years now. I’m certain the killer is still somewhere in Jooo City” “Okay. Just let Liam handle whatever you want to do. Take your time to get used to the stuff with the company. I’ll be back in three months. Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back,”

Scarlett smiled.
