The heart ached fiercely, Jas Lockwood said in a harsh voice, "How long has she been standing there? Why didn’t you let her out of the rain? Why didn’t you report it sooner?"
Damn it!
Was she downstairs when she called him?
Why didn’t she say it!
"No matter how we persuaded her, she wouldn’t move, insisting on seeing you." Sean Ashton hurriedly explained, "Because the security didn’t know the identity of the boss’s wife, so... originally they didn’t pay attention."
After his words fell, Sean Ashton could clearly see a kind of ferocious anger rising from Jas Lockwood’s body, as if ready to tear soone apart.
"She is Mrs. Lockwood! Mrs. Lockwood!" Jas Lockwood roared in a thunderous voice.
With no ti to hold anyone accountable, he dashed towards the elevator entrance.
Sean Ashton hadn’t even snapped out of it, only felt a gust of wind whiz past him. When he turned his head, he only caught a glimpse of a swiftly moving black figure.
His eyes trembled heavily, with surprise, relief, and a hint of worry.
It seems the boss’s love for his wife far exceeds his expectations!
Jas Lockwood reached the elevator entrance and saw Shannon Dunn standing there waiting for the elevator, instantly calming himself, but his steps remained hurried.
Shannon Dunn was the diplomatic talent Jas Lockwood valued the most. She had studied at the school he funded, showing amazing social talents at a young age.
Now at just twenty-five, she was already working on her degree while handling many social issues for The Lockwood Group, beloved by everyone.
Shannon Dunn turned her head, looked at Jas Lockwood, and greeted softly, "Mr. Lockwood."
They had known each other for years, but it was the first ti she had seen him reveal all his emotions on his face.
And this ti, there was even an urgency and tension she had never seen before.
The company executives used a dedicated elevator, so there was no need to wait. As the elevator doors opened, Jas Lockwood and Shannon Dunn walked in together.
In the not-so-big space, Jas Lockwood’s gaze was not on Shannon Dunn at all, fixated on the upper right corner displaying the floor number, desperately wishing to reach the first floor imdiately.
What on earth was Evelyn Morgan, that infuriating woman, trying to do?
She avoided all the places to hide from the rain and insisted on standing there, getting wet. Was she testing how much he cared for her?
Just to see him, just to ask him to spare Logan Shaw, could she really go to such lengths?
The anger in his chest was rolling intensely, Jas Lockwood clenched his fist, his breath heavy, and in his dark eyes, there was a cold, ruthless gleam.
"Does Mr. Lockwood have an urgent matter to deal with?" Shannon Dunn asked lightly.
Jas Lockwood’s gaze montarily froze; because of Shannon Dunn’s words, he suddenly cald down.
The scene of Evelyn Morgan rushing into the fire for Logan Shaw was still clear in his mory.
He hated, he was angry, he resented her, constantly thinking about how to make her suffer as well.
How could he, now finally having such a chance, feel so pained for her?
Unable to endure his own soft-heartedness, at this mont, the elevator doors opened, Jas Lockwood narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Shannon Dunn not far beside him, coldly saying, "Cooperate with ."
With that, he pulled Shannon Dunn closer beside him, his face even darker as they stepped towards the door together.
Evelyn stood there still without moving. When the elevator doors opened, and she saw Jas Lockwood, her lifeless gaze suddenly beca lively.
But the mont she saw the woman beside him, a flash of panic crossed her eyes, her thin lips parted in surprise, even blinking seed like a luxury.
The woman beside Jas Lockwood was soone Evelyn Morgan had seen before—the woman who embraced Logan Shaw at the banquet that day.
Why was she standing with Jas Lockwood, and so close?
The two of them walking together looked so matched, clearly... like a couple.
