Evelyn was confused.
Mistress? Talk about her?
When did she become a mistress?
Juliet became anxious and grabbed Evelyn, dragging her downstairs, where they saw a group of people holding banners and making a lot of noise.
Above it was written that Evelyn was a mistress, seducing Martin for the project, serving as a concubine.
Evelyn’s face immediately darkened, and she ran over shouting, “Who allowed you to be here?”
The man had a sneaky look with his thief–like eyebrows and shifty eyes, shouting, “Come and have a look, everyone! Evelyn Gomez from the Peterson Group, the mistress of deceit…”
Juliet had a fiery personality. She immediately ran over and snatched the banner, angrily shouting, “Who do you think you are? Do you know it’s illegal to spread rumors?” There were more than one person holding the banner, and one of them gestured with their eyes when they saw someone coming to disrupt their protest.
A group of people gathered around.
Evelyn saw that something was wrong and picked up her phone to call the police.
“Hello, is this the police station? There was a crowd gathering and causing a disturbance here…”
The words were not finished yet when a strong force knocked the phone to the ground.
The man hunched over was much taller than Evelyn. He raised his wrist as if to strike, while muttering, “Bitch, dare to call the police?”
Evelyn dodged incessantly, seeing that it was about to hit her head, she instinctively tried to crouch. down to avoid it.
In the next moment, a pair of hands with distinct knuckles fiercely grabbed the man’s wrist, with a violent swing, the man let out a cry and collapsed to the ground.

Evelyn looked up and saw Reed’s handsome profile, his eyes filled with anger.
The sunlight fell down as he came against the light, just like a beam of light shining into her heart.
“Security guard, what are you standing there for? Grab him,” Reed shouted angrily.

Several security guards quickly approached and restrained the troublemakers, but they were very slippery and quickly slipped away through the crowd.
Reed’s face turned frighteningly dark.
The security guards were immediately fired and a group of bodyguards were called in to stand guard.
A group of well–trained individuals in black clothing disembarked.
With a tall figure and a powerful aura, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Reed’s face finally relaxed.
He held Evelyn and returned to the company, supporting her carefully, and then asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
Evelyn shook her head and remained silent.
Reed thought she was scared, so he sat up and embraced her.
The sound of a rapid and strong heartbeat echoed, and Evelyn felt considerably reassured by his vigorous vitality.
She patted his back and reassured, “It’s okay, I was just wondering who did it.”
Reed hummed in her ear and harshly said, “It must be related to Martin.”
Evelyn frowned and gently pushed Reed aside, saying, “He probably doesn’t know, does Mr. Wilson have a girlfriend?”
Reed shook his head. He probably had no idea about this gossip either.
Immediately, Evelyn contacted her good friend Jenny, who worked at the Wilson Group.
In a few words, she edited her own experience and asked for her help to pay attention.
They quickly replied over there.
“I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but recently the one who has been getting close to Mr. Wilson is his new secretary, Isabel. However, the company is planning to fire her recently, and she has even applied for labor arbitration.”
Isabel?
This name sounded familiar.

She looked up at the person in front of her and asked, “Isabel, do you know?”
Reed furrowed his brow and recalled, “It seemed to be the youngest daughter of the Caster family.”
“The Wilson Group was on the verge of bankruptcy back then, and it was the Caster family who provided the funding that allowed the Wilson Group to reach its current scale. However, now the Caster family has fallen on hard times, relying entirely on the Wilson Group to sustain the
company.”
Evelyn nodded and decided to look up this Isabel.
