Slowly Falling into His Love Trap-Chapter 39: She Is the First Young Lord’s Little Wife
Evelyn pouted and angrily hung up the phone, realizing that her earlier tension had inexplicably vanished.
It seemed that as long as Uncle was there to handle things, no matter what happened, it couldn’t be considered a problem.
Looking up at the blue sky, the corners of Evelyn’s lips curled upwards into a sweet smile.
She took out two one-yuan bills from her bag and a pen, and wrote a few words in the corner of one bill: Uncle, you’re the silly one!
After writing, she placed the money in the outermost layer of her bag, intending to give it to him later.
Caden Lockwood left the meeting room without saying a word, leaving the remaining work to fall on the secretary.
Everyone speculated that The Lockwood Group would certainly have huge profits coming soon, although it hadn’t been explicitly stated yet.
This is a sign of making money, and they can’t miss it!
Everyone secretly made calls to raise money, determined to find ways to buy more shares of The Lockwood Group, thinking that soon they’d be cashing in!
The Lockwood Group’s stock was inexplicably driven up within minutes, and nobody knew why...
When Caden Lockwood arrived at the school, Evelyn had already been cornered by the principal and class teacher’s relentless questioning.
Seeing Caden Lockwood’s tall figure, she unconsciously leaned towards him, feeling like she’d finally found her protector!
She believed he would definitely resolve the situation!
Caden Lockwood showed a satisfied smile, holding her tightly clenched fist and gently wiping the sweat from her palm.
Evelyn froze, wanting to retrieve her hand, but he held it tightly, a glimpse of firm insistence flashed in his eyes.
She frowned, thinking perhaps this was one of his ways to solve problems, and could only obediently cooperate.
"I heard from my wife that because she made a mistake, I need to have a good talk with the principal?" Caden Lockwood’s tone was casual, yet his whole demeanor remained impressively dignified.
The principal looked Caden Lockwood up and down, confirming that this man was definitely extraordinary.
The school’s budget was limited, but if they pleased someone wealthy like Caden Lockwood, a casual donation to the school wouldn’t be an issue!
Precisely for this reason, the principal was eager to know Caden Lockwood’s identity.
But Evelyn was dumbfounded; her uncle was indirectly admitting she was his wife!
Why did she feel like she was digging a hole and burying herself?
"What’s your name, sir?" The principal asked with a smile.
"Wait outside for me." Caden Lockwood didn’t respond, he patted Evelyn’s head gently, "I’ll talk with the principal."
"I..."
"Behave." Caden Lockwood said firmly.
Just those two words were enough to overwhelm Evelyn.
Evelyn, helpless, had to comply, her eyes trembling slightly as she whispered, "Uncle, don’t get me into trouble!"
With that, she left the office.
Caden Lockwood’s gaze followed Evelyn continuously, he loved watching her innocent demeanor, as if the entire world was simple and pure. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The smile at the corner of his mouth slowly subsided, he redirected his gaze to the principal, speaking coldly, "My wife is timid and easily startled. If anything happens next time, feel free to contact my secretary."
His tone was both an instruction and a warning.
Having said that, he placed a prepared check and his secretary’s business card on the principal’s desk, said no more, and stepped outside pulling Evelyn along.
The class teacher and principal were stunned by Caden Lockwood’s direct and unequivocal approach, especially the check amount which was five million, with the promise of more to come; truly generous!
The principal picked up the check, glancing at the powerful signature: Caden Lockwood.
His legs weakened, and he sat directly in the chair, disbelief written all over his face.
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he mumbled, "Caden, Caden Lockwood! He’s actually the Young Lord Lockwood, CEO of The Lockwood Group, one of the world’s top ten! And his wife is at our school!"
