Slowly Falling into His Love Trap-Chapter 45: The Young Lord Is Jealous, and the Consequences Are Serious
As soon as Eleanor Keaton spoke, many around her laughed, pointing at Evelyn Morgan. But when they discovered her figure was just as stunning, their eyes were glued to her.
Even though it wasn’t clear exactly what had happened, the tension in the air was palpable.
Especially with the rare presence of Caden Lockwood sitting there, it became even more intriguing.
However, Caden Lockwood’s expression was not as indifferent as usual, and his dark eyes were filled with an unmistakable murderous intent, a tornado-like fury swirling around him.
That emotion, it seemed like... jealousy!
Receiving this signal, everyone hurriedly shifted their gaze back to Evelyn Morgan from Eleanor Keaton, focusing intently on her.
As a result, they were met with a cold, destructive chill.
Everyone had no choice but to avoid looking at anyone, glancing at each other, knowing that something major was about to happen.
"Isn’t it because you feel threatened by me that you’ve repeatedly targeted me?" Evelyn’s retort was in a calm tone, neither humble nor arrogant, exuding confidence.
Eleanor was taken aback; Evelyn’s words hit her at her most insecure spot, causing her to be angry and ashamed.
Evelyn looked at Eleanor; even with her face twisted in anger, she was still strikingly beautiful.
Evelyn was annoyed. Wasn’t fate too kind to Eleanor?
She stepped forward, picked up a peeled piece of durian, and walked over to Caden Lockwood.
"Uncle," she leaned in, her voice so soft only he could hear, "I bet no one here knows your profession, do they? If you don’t cooperate and eat this durian, I’ll expose your job!"
Caden Lockwood’s breath tightened, his gaze inadvertently falling on that expanse of Evelyn’s fair skin.
The strapless garment accentuated her allure, tempting one to savor her.
Raising his gaze, he easily captured the mischievousness and pride in her eyes, along with her determination to fight for her own justice.
Upon meeting Caden Lockwood’s icy gaze, Evelyn realized her courage was smaller than she had anticipated.
But why should she and Cecilia Lynch pay when they had done nothing wrong?
"Sir," Evelyn straightened up, "you should try it. The taste of durian is actually very good. Once you eat it, you’ll like it, and then there will be no need to redo this fruit platter."
In her view, if things unraveled as she said, everything would be resolved!
As soon as Evelyn finished speaking, she clearly felt the surrounding atmosphere plummet to freezing point.
The clueless onlookers silently sweated for Evelyn.
Of all people, why did she have to provoke Caden Lockwood?
It’s likely her fate would be to get thrown into the sea!
Praying that she knows how to swim!
Caden Lockwood raised an eyebrow, a faint, playful curve appearing on his lips, making Evelyn increasingly uneasy.
What she thought was leverage seemed to mean nothing to him!
Moreover, she had the sense that everyone present seemed very afraid of Caden Lockwood?
"Evelyn Morgan, you..."
Eleanor’s voice hadn’t finished when Julian Keaton covered her mouth, gently shaking his head at her.
His princess sister had made one mistake after another, and if he didn’t pull her back now, she feared she’d be beyond redemption.
Julian knew Caden Lockwood too well; he had gone through great lengths to get Evelyn to this point and certainly wouldn’t let her leave easily. Anyone who dared to interfere would meet a grim fate.
