Upon hearing this, a trace of weariness flashed across Soren Foster’s eyes.
He leaned against the chair, not looking directly at Evelyn Clayton, but zoning out at the gray, overcast sky outside the window.
"Director Clayton, it hasn’t been long, what do you want me to figure out?"
Evelyn Clayton let out a sneer, "Soren, do you think I’m keeping a boy toy, putting you here just to feed and drink you? You better figure it out quickly, otherwise, I’ll hand you back to Summer Monroe, and what she’ll do to you then, I won’t be able to control."
Hearing this, Soren Foster’s expression didn’t change at all.
He said slowly, "If you send me back now, Summer Monroe definitely won’t believe I haven’t told you anything. If you provoke her, I’ll disappear completely like Julia Lawrence."
With that, Soren paused, turning his eyes towards Evelyn Clayton, "She has that power."
Evelyn Clayton’s pupils narrowed slightly, "What do you mean?"
However, Soren seemed unwilling to elaborate, "No meaning, just as it sounds."
Evelyn Clayton still had a shred of patience left.
She coldly stared at Soren Foster, "Soren, are you fearless now? Fine, then let me ask you, are you not afraid if I make your relationship with Summer Monroe public, letting everyone know you’re her lover?"
There was finally a change in Soren Foster’s gaze, he suddenly looked at Evelyn Clayton, and after a long while, suddenly laughed, with a hint of malice.
"What’s that got to do with me?"
"Doesn’t it?" Evelyn Clayton raised an eyebrow slightly, smiling mockingly, "Do you think I don’t know? Your relationship with Summer Monroe is built on confidentiality, and Summer has been ’widowed’ for Felix Ford to secure the position of CEO at The Ford Group. Once your relationship is exposed, the public outcry could choke Summer."
"And the person behind Summer won’t just sit by and watch her fall, because she still holds a lot of value. That person will demand your life."
Evelyn Clayton chuckled softly, "By then, your death will be certain." Google seaʀᴄh n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
Soren Foster’s hand on his knee clenched, he feigned calmness, averting his eyes, "Going back to Summer now also means certain death for me."
Evelyn Clayton smirked, "No, it won’t. At this critical moment, Summer won’t make trouble. If she wanted you dead, simply and completely, she wouldn’t have sent you to me."
Soren Foster’s expression finally cracked.
Evelyn Clayton resumed her initial calm demeanor, speaking indifferently, "Now, can you talk to me properly?"
Soren Foster turned around, staring at Evelyn Clayton intensely. After a long time, he suddenly burst into laughter.
Evelyn Clayton frowned, "What are you laughing at?"
"I’m laughing. I’m laughing at how stupid she is." Soren Foster shook his head while laughing, "She’ll never beat you."
"Thank you." Evelyn Clayton sneered mockingly, "Is that supposed to be a compliment?"
"Yaoyao seems smart, but she’s spent her whole life relying on others, unable to move without help," Soren said, mimicking Evelyn Clayton’s eyebrow raise, "And you, Evelyn Clayton, you seem normal, but you’re more terrifying than anyone."
"You understand the human heart, you grasp human nature, you seem like a good person, gentle, polite, with high moral standards seemingly..."
Soren’s lips curved bit by bit, his handsome face full of an enigmatic smile.
"In reality, you’re cold, indifferent, and ruthless. You can pick up and let go, nothing can stop you."
